I uninstalled Infinite solely because MCC is the better Halo game and I don’t see Halo Infinite EVER being the better option.

Tried, couldn’t find a single match on MCC.

People only really play specific games in MCC online… I believe the popular ones are Halo 3 and Reach.

Halo Infinite being such a mess got me back into MCC and I’ve been playing it quite a lot over the last few months. It really is incredible to me how 343 had the MCC sat there as a blueprint they could have just copy/pasted into Infinite and they still somehow managed to spectacularly bungle almost everything the MCC already does perfectly.

MCC appeals to a smaller market. It’s not sustainable long term.
Population has been extremely low at times, but getting games in more niche titles and modes is extremely difficult. Most of the time I search ranked I can’t get a game, then if I do the teams are extremely poorly balanced due to an underpopulated and aged ranking system.
Searching for something specific can take ages to get a game so the large amount of choice ironically results in less options most the time. If you like Halo 3 and Halo Reach, it’s not too bad. Games are still poorly balanced though.
MCC should not be used as a blueprint.

I enjoy mcc but the problem is the population is too low.
If I set it to:
European server
Controller input
Xbox
I can’t find a match. So I end up having to disable those options and play against pc players in America. Such a shame.
I bet if those options were added to infinite I’d still be able to find a game. Come on 343, put them in ithe game already.
I just play Halo 3 social and slam everything apart from the “gimmick” modes (shotty snipers, SWAT, etc.) on and I always get matches quickly with a good mixture of slayer and objective modes.
This obsession with “oh no too many game modes will split the playerbase” lead directly to one of the single biggest complaints about Infinite on launch - that there was (and still is) sweet FA in terms of variety which leads to players playing the same thing over and over and over, getting tired of it, and quitting. And this is on launch as well, where the game’s population is as high as it will ever be for 95% of multiplayer titles. If you’re not willing to give players choice at launch, then when? Never? Are we supposed to play the same four game modes over and over for the entirety of Infinite’s ten year (lmao) lifespan?

How do you get to that conclusion?
Nah, I’ll stay with Infinite.
One reason is that I’ve stopped paying for my Xbox Subscription since Infinite is free and that’s really all I play on my Series X right now given my current work/personal life.
Other reasons is that I enjoy the gameplay of Infinite more than most of the older games in the MCC. They’ve gotten older and a bit antiquated and, really, when I play mulitplayer in the MCC I tend to gravitate more towards Halo 4’s multiplayer than any of the others. Weapons feel/sound a lot better in Infinite and I like the faster gameplay that wasn’t as over-the-top that I felt Halo 5’s was. That and I absolutely hated BTB in Halo 5 while Warzone had stopped being fun a long time ago.
If there’s anything I really go back to the MCC for its to replay the campaigns cause obviously that collection holds the best that Halo had in terms of single player/co-op campaigns.
As much issues and hate that Infinite has, overall in terms of gameplay I just prefer Infinite far more than that of the older games.

Just wish Halo Infinite Custom Games was working. The server connection issues need to be fixed and Mode Editor needs to be fixed so you can edit saved modes!!
Since I play Custom Games 98% of the time I decided to run one of my maps on MCC. It is one of the biggest CTF maps ever made. It’s called: —> *BIGGEST F’N CTF MAP EVER!
Played last nite and it was so much fun. This is how Halo is supposed to be played! It brings back the good o’l days! The server is up now if you wish to check it out!
Peace!

Now that is an advertisement that makes me want to play it.
Yeah. 343 had it right with 343 but decided to poop all the way to infinity.
Graphics? Maybe, but not past h2, everything past that looks just fine.
Halo doesn’t.
Halo infinite asks for your money so much but hey I guess you get the quality you pay for, so in this case no quality.

They won’t if they’re blaming geo filtering for the servers terrible performance.

Personally Infinite plays exactly how I have always wanted a H3 sequel to play. The AR is finally usable and the BR isn’t OP. A couple guns like the Ravager and pulse carbine need buffs but other than that Infinite has my favorite weapon sandbox due to its balance. The only problems I have with it are the performance/server issues and how you unlock armor. But to me dealing with that us better than having to deal with an OP BR/DMR. While I do love the older games I am just going to stick with Infinite for awhile.

6 halo games for a price with their campaigns, multiplayers and forges vs a singular FTP game with very little content, MCC is worth its price.
