It’s a step in the right direction. We just need more steps in that direction.

Moving objects in Forge is a real pain in the hynie!!! At least in Halo MCC and Halo 5 you could grab a object and move it with your mouse. In Halo Infinite you have these X,Y,Z with lines that are a real pain. I’ll take Halo 5 Forge and Halo MCC forge over Halo Infinite anytime! Such a pain in the hynie to use!
Peace!

Look, for me?
It gets a flop since its completely reverted my copy of halo infinite to early MCC days in the sense that I can’t actually play the game.
The update has compeltely broken matchmaking for me, searchs for a game, instantly finds one then gives me a dedicated server error and won’t actually do anything, it then losses assets on the matchmaking screen before soft crashing…if I force quit the build and try to restart the game the game won’t load at all, just hangs on the halo infinite screen, I then have to hard reset my xbox
Been advised that possibly turning off my xbox insider aplpha preview program might help but I don’t see why I should need to…
I guess I’ll try again after the next update

How is it amazing to you?
Im all for enthusiasm but that is super hyperbolic language for and update that had to pull half of the new map content to avoid crashing the game imo.
You cant go afk in your own forge and BB was pulled so it is a pretty negative experience for offline and pve players all round.
these are good changes however this is like 30% of what needs to be put in the game. Like … where is firefight or like any pve mode where you use your own spartan?
For me it was a flop for one reason:
Looping back on Ultimate Rewards and the way that was handled.
Normally, I don’t play multiplayer games very often past their launch. I think Halo 3 was the longest I went, and that was only for a few months until something else came out. Halo Infinite was one of the exceptions (alongside Sea of Thieves), but Halo Infinite was only an exception because of the weekly Ultimate Challenge Rewards: I wound up getting the rewards for the first few weeks, it became a habit, and then I just kept doing it. To date, I haven’t missed a single Ultimate Challenge Reward.
But, for whatever reason, 343 decided to start repeating these rewards. Not only that, but they’re apparently going to make them dramatically easier to obtain than they originally were. Whereas spotting someone sporting a Willow Tea color scheme once meant “Ah, an old school (relatively speaking) player who also suffered through getting 5 Fiesta Killing Sprees back when Fiesta first came out,” now it means… nothing.
For a studio trying to emulate the success of Fortnite, it really is bizarre how they got this concept this wrong. Part of what keeps users coming back to Fortnite is the idea of getting exclusive stuff that they won’t be able to get again. For some folks (not me, in this case), this pushes them to get to level 200 just so they can get all of the player skins. For me, this is what kept me playing Halo Infinite every week (which I enjoyed, but there were definitely times when a new game was out that I wanted to play but I was having to go back to Halo Infinite to finish my challenges for the week), but now that they’re repeating Ultimate Challenge rewards and making them easier to get, which is kind of a slap in the face to the people who pulled off the original challenges, I’m done. Once I finish unlocking everything for the Winter Update Battlepass, I’m done with Halo Infinite multiplayer. 343 screwed up the thing that kept me coming back, so I won’t, not even when the future seasons come out.

It was a flop for me. Why are there only sensitivity options in .5 increments? What if 6.5 is too fast and 6 is too slow? Just let me try 6.1, 62., 6.3 etc.

My vision is poor, but I swear some of these maps are much darker now after this update. Am I crazy? Hightower and Breakout are noticeably much darker, super dark shaded sections. Is anyone else experiencing this or is this purely on my end?
how do I get the halo update , since my copy wont even play.
since I paid for halo infinite september 30 , 2022 I have not been able to plat this game I only get Error code: (0x80070102). I’ve worked with many helpers who have tried but end up not doing anything to make this game I paid for not work.
I’ve requested phone calls and never received a call back. I’ve step thru all the methods to fix this error but it persist i’ve been told to check my date and time it’s pacific time and set perfect.
Now i’ve told to post to a forum so this is whati’m doing now.
I just want to play this game I bought.

I vote flop only because they didn’t include a custom game browser. What’s the point of spending time making a cool map/fun gametype if you can’t set up a game? Like I guess you can play with friends, but it still seems like a pretty big misstep.
Meh from me
I don’t do forge. Neither the time or the desire. Happy to play other people creations though.
I play for some fun with the occasional sweat fest when I dip into rank. But for the past two days post update it’s been sweat non stop.
As a mid play in season 2. I do not want to be plying against onyx rank. The BR felt so nice before the update. Really noticed the decrease in aim assist as a player without much skill. Seems like the players are taking more damage and I’m loosing way more 1v1s.
It also seems that the update they’ve done to ranked has dropped everyone down a level. Im now plying against plats and golds who in the previous season were onyx or high diamond! Way more skilled than myself. Hope the system sorts itself out soon. I just wasn’t enjoying it, didn’t feel rewarding or fulfilling to play.
The commando feels worst to me. Don’t know how that’s possible considering they’ve buffed it.
I wouldn’t call it a flop. The game plays a lot smoother and high ping is actually rare now for me. There’s more content, more maps, post game screen is better and we have more armor for free. Also: the update for once didn’t break the game for me (although it did for others, I know)
On the other hand it still doesn’t fix a bunch of the fundamental problems I have with Infinite. Getting shot through walls for instance, or modes like SWAT still including Manglers, Commando and Stalker. The new 1 flag mode is also complete -Yoink!-.
We still have a weapon sandbox that is too small and waaaaaay to much focused on 100% balance instead of including fun weapons. I’d still rather have the electric weapons gone entirely and have PP return to stopping vehicles. Have the Commando replaced by the DMR and SAW, Stalker replaced by Carbine and Beam Rifle. Brute Shot instead of Ravager and Pulse Carbine replaced by the good old Plasma Rifle. Mangler could use its Spiker and Mauler cousins, classic Shotty needs a return. Also: Reach grenade launcher.
I know, “but balance”. I’d rather have more weapon variety, more classic weapons and less hyper focus on competitive balancing. Besides, what’s balance anyway with the current pistol?

I voted wrong. Wouldnt call it a winner but it sure is…something. Gonna be honest it became extra deflating realizing they drop this beta update 7 days to the year since they had launched the MP beta like its late homework for the grading curve.
Happy forge is there but entirely misses the point when we cant even edit default maps, which, not even gonna get into that here.
Happy those armor pieces are there but the player/spartan vanity is so far near the bottom of the list of concern, i guess its good they brought back dailies.
Happy to see capstones getting cycled, yes willow tea most people might have but it is somewhat extravagant enough for any new folks to the “winter season”

Is your device even capable of running Halo Infinite? Like do you have the right minimum level of specs to run the game?
Flop.
Nothing has changed in the gameplay. It’s worse than ever.
I don’t know if you guys are playing the same game as I am. It’s still choppy, laggy, worse than before. Weapon balancing is off.
Playing coop with my son, it gets stuck before a cut scene. We both die, get stuck in the loading screen, have to restart the game, then start at FOB, not last check point. It’s buggy as during gameplay.
I don’t think all the defenders realise how broken this game is at its core, the coding, servers. I don’t know what to say.
This game is “off”. You can feel it when you play. I don’t know how else to describe it.
Maybe it runs better for you guys in USA, but for us outside of USA, or me specifically, it’s not good at all.

Not a flop. Not the total win Infinite needed, but the update delivered what it promised and the game is, for the most part, better than it was before the update. The new XP system is way better and it actually feels like trying a bit matters. The challenge changes are great, albeit we could probably do with more dailys or more challenges after the ultimate. Regardless I can play whatever I want and still progress, so thumbs up there. Forge is incredible, the weapon changes are pretty fine, the new maps are cool.
For the bad, various playlists were removed that had no good reason to be removed, with apparently bot bootcamp being the biggest offender for you guys. The lack of a customs browser means forge hasn’t had as huge of an impact as it could’ve had, so here’s to waiting months for season 3.
The features in the games and I’m not referring to just 3rd party tools. The mod tools I’m referring to are the official tools released by 343 included with the steam release of mcc. They include modified versions of the original Xbox 360 titles (cea and 2 vista for the og Xbox titles) that run off of tags to allow mods to be made and split screen works on all of them with some tinkering. Also if you dig through the base steam MCC install folder and files you’ll find tons of references and items pertaining to split screen. It was added to the backlog for mcc 2 years ago and 343 has been radio silent since.
It was ( mostly ) a step in the right direction

it’s to early to call it a flop or not.
for me it was not a flop, bc i expected nothing great and thats what I got. nothing great and it brought me back for like 5 or 6 games and then i stoped playing again.
