not only lag… but with loading anything, the game feels even less optimized. i kid you not, the game UNLOADS the menu pictures for things. like bruh, this’s sad. or when the polygon count of ones view models go so low, it’s practically like playing on an n64… but it’s just for the view model and with NOTHING ELSE, mind you at random!
i dunno what 343 did, but this game loads and feels worse… though the desync isn’t as bad for me anymore. but it’s still there from time to time

I’m assuming that it’s the same as previous games - 40% or more of the damage to get an assist.
You must have given them a fair run for their money…

Halo Infinite has bugs and other issues but it is unfortunately by definition, a functioning game. It is just not functioning exactly the way players were expecting when compared to ANY of the previous releases. And even if 343 got it 100% right, players would still find something else to complain about, that’s life… that’s what humans do, pretty much every single day. You got the ones complaining, and then you got the people complaining about the people complaining lmao
That being said, just because Infinite is “functioning” does not mean everyone likes it or that it is “successful”. I think Infinite’s downfall at launch was Free to Play, now the only thing keeping it afloat is Free to Play lol what an ironic turn of events.

Hopefully the “drop pods” make it more functional than what you’re describing here….

Dont forget the increased high ping games and lag spikes causing game disconnects, UK player here.

Why would you remove something that in my opinion has no negative impact on the core sandbox experience
hardly any maps and they keep REMOVING the ones we do have from certain playlists…because people can’t get good
Your check is in the mail.

I’m genuinely curious if I somehow missed it, but I don’t remember it ever being said that you’d have to buy the premium pass to go back to an old season until their big season 2 content reveal the other week. I just remember them stating that seasons will never expire, you can always work on a previous season that you haven’t gotten to level 100 in instead of the current one if you so choose.

I always had the understanding that once you buy a battle pass it lasts forever. Not that the battle passes lasts forever for everyone. One thing I dont understand is people complaining about not hitting 100. If you didnt enjoy the game enough to hit 100 in 6 months why care now? It took alot of people a month and a half to get to 100. You could have hopped on for 1 game a day and probably hit 100. Same with the complaint about missing free rewards. If you arent sticking with this disappointing stale game like we are why should you be rewarded like the real fans? Also Ive never experienced lag other than the occasional game. Desync is still there but not frequent enough to be annoying unless you play ranked

It was implied since June at the least that in order to participate in previous BP’s you’d have to purchase the premium version.
So the article writer seems to be the one most leaning into implying that you’d have to buy the premium pass to go back but doesn’t out-right say you’ll have to to make any progress in previous seasons. The most important part is the actual dev quote from Paradis: "On how we’re going to be different… We’re going player-first with our Battle Passes: All Battle Passes will be permanent. This means that the Season 1 Battle Pass will be around forever; you can always go back, select that as your active Battle Pass and continue to earn progress in it. If you decided to take a Season off, or you simply didn’t have time to play, that’s fine. You can always go back and purchase any prior Battle Pass as well."
I emphasized what seem like the most important parts of the quote, IMO. I don’t see how your average person (or anyone really) can read that quote and think that what is being said is “if you want to go back to an older battle pass you have to buy the premium pass for it.” It seems to be saying in a fairly straight forward manner that you can always make an older season your currently active one and you can also always buy the premium version of those older seasons if you want the premium items in them.

Suggesting that if you missed a season, that season will be obtainable after the season is over through the purchase of that season’s premium BP.
The further deduction (being the final sentence in that paragraph) that by extension of the idea that in order to participate in previous BP’s that you missed requires a premium BP, it’s also implied that to continue previously expired BP’s a premium BP is required.
While this might not be what people had extrapolated, the rules within of the language used paint a different logical picture.
I did, and I’ve talked about this on these forums with that implication and in other conversations with friends as well.
I can certainly see where people may have misinterpreted the statement, but misinterpretation doesn’t mean truth.
arguably they shouldve clarified so not to set false expectations

This is definitely the most consistent recurring concern, I won’t dispute that.

Desync is far by worse this season. I was told though that they were fixing it S2 though? I don’t know how true that was, but it is not fixed only worse.

Being able to purchase battle passes from before has nothing to do with needing to buy a battlepass that they said they gave you for free.

The words they use do not convey the message you interpreted. You successfully misinterpreted what they said and arrived at what would eventually become the truth. The reason most people did not get that interpretation is because it is not what the words say. Arguing that it is implied requires acknowledging that it wasn’t said.
