Even before the flights they even mentioned it was going to take skill to unlock most of the things ingame 
Thanks for posting this @Ken_CTF. I think the devs deserve some praise and only constructive feedback, if anything. I can only imagine how rough this must be on them, and their families, to have worked so hard for so long only to hear nothing but hate. I mean, seriously; can you imagine having to read some of this stuff about something you worked your heart out on for 5 or more years? I worry about how that might affect these peopleās mental health, honestly. I hope youāre all doing well, @343, and please take all this backlash as feedback and nothing more.
Donāt get me wrong; some poor choices were made. But they clearly realize that, and I think itās important to praise the wonderful and innovative things they did too. Thank you for your time and hard work 343i.
This was a good read and much appreciated communication.

The lack of foresight at 343 continues to amaze me.
Plain crocodile tears
They had flight tests, and this is supposed to be a beta (I know itās the release build) but they canāt change or fix anything? What exactly is the point of the flights or beta then?
Feasibility of slayer?
I saw today that they gutted the Reach battlepass, so they could parcel it off, and this dude expects me to believe that the monetization isnāt supposed to be predatory, and random playlists and challenge swaps werenāt stuffed into every corner of the MP to pressure people into paying? The UI for playlists restricts adding playlists?!
I donāt want to even imagine what the game would look like if it was released last year.
Fellow thread goers, the devs, they have betrayed us. They are not worthy of the mantle of responsibility.
I am going to gamepass the campaign. After completion I will cancel gamepass.
Voting with my wallet and not spending a dime on this.
The only hope is that the campaign is heavenly. I have my doubts.
Thatās nice. Fix your game.
In situations like this, good communication is the most important thing.
Because of that, I really think the Team of 343 could benefit from adding a public Roadmap to Halo Waypoint.
Itās just a good way to show āWe heard your feedback, added it to the list and are working on itā. And if the same posts still come up over and over again, you can refer people to this list and tell them āyea, they already knowā.
It doesnāt even have to have specific dates. Perhaps itās more like a To-Do list in the end, I donāt care
But itās also a good way to show which changes can be expected sooner and which will take longer.
They canāt. They have already blown the road map. Thatās just more negative press. CoOp in season 2, Forge in season 3. Every month we get a featured Tenrai event. Thatās all they have for a road map and they pushed those out like another 9 months pr something like that.
This is one humongous gaslight. Iām tired of the same runaround. Theyāre like a grown adult who refuses to accept responsibility.
And i mean at the end of the day it is just a game.
This pretty much sums up what Infiniteās MP is all about. Instead of just making players buy the full product to make your money back, you want to chop it up into pieces and sell us bit by bit. And thatās not even the real crime here, the real issue is youāre selling some of those ābitsā that were given for free in previous games. And because Halo Infinite is Free to Play, we can pretty much guarantee there isnāt going to be any DLC that will be Campaign related. The only thing we can guarantee is there will be Pineapple cosmetics for sale in the store because 343 has to keep the servers running.
I donāt have much hope for the MP anymore, itās entirely revolved around premium cosmetics.
Yeah honestly, I wish I could see the teamās DevOps board and see what theyāre actually working on lol. never gonna happen of course but itād be fun
Letās not also forget that with COD, Warzone is the only FTP portion of the release. Standard MP is still included with the campaign and zombies, or horde or whatever the PvE addition is. Thatās the whole reason the COD model works so well. The FTP portion is a separate entity from the main MP. The MP just allows compatible unlocks for Warzone. Thatās why they get away with limited playlists.
Halo just gutted the MP without having a backup mode ready.
It came from a reddit response post. You can look up his reddit profile to find it.
Yes. This feedback has been given over the last year lol.
Good on him for sending out a comment. People were asking for acknowledgement and they sure got it.
Anyways, looking at the total chaos which is ensuing in the Halo community, I am choosing now to leave you guys for the next couple months. Good day, Merry Christmas, chat next year!
No negativity means nothing will change. And future games will be even worse in all aspects.
Iām talking about a different kind of Roadmap.
The one you mean is more likeā¦a Content or Season Roadmap.
Iām thinking more about all those diverse fixes and changes. Or like @Blizzarus calles it, a DevOps Board.
