Season <Redacted> Hype Train Boarding. How are you feeling? (Poll) CLOSED

The winter update is barely more than a week away, what do you plan on doing when it drops? (Up to 3 choices)

I ran one if these before Season 2 dropped and people seemed to enjoy it :grinning:.

  • I’m going to terrify the Banished with Demon clones in coop. Zeta stands no chance!
  • I’m going to try not to cry with the pulse carbine in Spies v Mercs. Which is a mode that totally justifies no assault and no infection because it’s going to be so good.
  • I’ll be in Forge envisioning the Mona Lisa of maps and failing to come even close to my vision
  • I’m checking out the new progression beta in match making. Because…I guess progression needs a beta…?
  • It’s launching on Taco Tuesday, so you can find me wherever The Taco Pit is!
  • It’s shop ragging time! I’ll be on socials making fun of Infinite’s shop to prove I’m a real Halo fan!
  • I’ll be ignoring GA’s in ranked because hopefully we have sandbox updates! There’s sandbox updates right? Please God tell me I get to experience balance changes for once…
  • I hate you, I hate 343, Infinite is a joke, and I don’t know why you still have it installed. Go play a game that works Halo boomer!

Can’t wait. Ten sleeps to go from my time zone.

Going to hit Forge hard.

I’m going to be a scripting God.

Not all Gods are necessarily good and/or helpful.

I figure Forge for a while, go for the new campaign achievements, then back to MCC’s mod tools and waiting for the Halo 4 devkit to drop.

I’m going to give it a shot and hope for the best.

Other: Unless they allow us to select (and Honour) the Server we play one, the game is just as dead to me as it was before Nov 8th. I play Solo (none of my friends will touch it anymore - I doubt if I could pay / bribe them to even download it) and 80% of the time it connects me to some server in Amsterdam while I’m in Alberta Canada. With ping times of 250+ ms (update rate of 4 fps), the game is unplayable trash. 20% it gives me ~ 30 ms ping times and I know from playing MCC / H5 - that’s the NW USA (Seattle) servers.

So unless this is resolved, it’s still dead to me.

Omgosh lets all cross our fingers and toes that you get to delete ā€œdisappointmentā€ lol.

I’m honestly super luke warm on it :confused:. Very pumped for 343’s aspirations they have for the future of Infinite after S3 launches though.

In my professional life I write in two different coding languages in addition to a toolset that reminds me of the forge scripting nodes from what we’ve seen. So I’m pumped to see what I can make happen in the scripting tools. I’m excited to try and do things like recreate CS buying & bomb modes, and recreate breakout :grinning:.

Good luck with any ideas you’ve got!

That sounds pretty solid, and sort of like what I’ll likely do. Right now I only play Infinite to complete the weekly challenges if I like the unlock that week, and otherwise I’m spending my game time in State of Decay 2. So instead of forge->MCC I’ll be forge->SoD2.
(I’ve just played those legacy titles so much at this point. I was there at CE’s launch)

Hopefully we can have a lot of fun dinking around in forge though!

Nothing wrong with that! A customs browser at the same time as forge would have gone a long way, but hopefully the collective feature set of Season 2.5 will be solid enough to bring back some enthusiasm for the game.

Completely agree! I’ve been saying for a couple months now that no matter what content Infinite puts out, it’s dead in the water without improvements to the server configs and aim mechanics.

Well, it looks like the " I hate 343/ Infinite" choice is on the way to staying top three, just like the S2 poll I did (it ended second in that one).

Oh Halo community, your dedication to the Halo cycle is endearing, don’t ever change :rofl:.

Haha, aye, roughly the same here. Only swap ā€œSoD2ā€ with ā€œ(suffering from submarines in) WoWSā€.
Just gotta wait for those H4 mod tools… just a few more weeks…

I’m really looking forward to playing coop campaign with my brother and nephew!

Progression XP should’ve been day one, but I’m super excited and looking forward to it.

Not playing Co op, the campaign was fun but I’m enjoying MW2 and I’ll Also be playing Pokemon Scarlet which also has co Op campaign at launch…

Don’t care for forge, so not excited or care about that

As far as the battlepass, I have enough teir skips to bypass the whole thing and just go back to playing MW2 and Pokemon Scarlet in my free time

Outside of that I see no point in Aying the game until march

That sounds totally awesome! My son is about 3 years from me letting him play through the games with me and I’m very excited for that day! Been looking forward to it for years now :grin:. Have fun!

Yea, that’s what I’ve been saying since before this last road map launched lol. I think collectively we’re all kinda of thinking ā€œI’ll believe it when I see itā€.

If you end up having someone to try out coop with, I’d still recommend giving it a shot one day. My buddy and I got ~1/3rd of the way through the campaign during the coop flight. Halo coop shenanigans and the freedom of the open world was like 4x as fun as I thought it was going to be lol.

I wouldn’t waste tier skips on a pass that’s so small with so much time to complete, but that’s just me lol.

See you in March!

Omgosh no kidding! I have less and less patience to put up with the BS that are Infinite’s servers every time I log in. It’s like pulling your teeth for 3 games, and then you get one really good feeling game that reminds you Infinite can be fun. Then right back to pulling teeth lol.

It’s always a fun time playing Halo with my family and friends. The gaming experience is just unparalleled to anything else gaming wise.
