So frustrating cause I love this game

Been an OG Halo guy. Every time I play this game it’s so dam fun!!! I mean it’s just so Halo-eee. I’ve been on these boards since halo 2. I hate that the community has turned on it. We gotta band together guys and push for the future. The groundwork is so tight! Just makes me sad when I come to these boards and it’s hate on top of hate on top of hate. Maybe that’s just what people do nowadays. Just bums me out.

Can we try to be positive here? Yes I’m frustrated by content. YES I’m frustrated by no direction or roadmaps. Yes!!! But -Yoink!- there is no game like this. I’ve been maxed out on my battle pass but I don’t care. It’s just so dam fun. I’m not giving a pass to anyone at 343 but maybe devs there are frustrated too. It can’t be everyone’s fault. To make a game this tight then say “we are done!” I feel like there is a documentary that needs to be made about what is happening.

I’d just like the community to come together again. I miss the positive guys and the fun we would always talk about here. Can we try? Just for now?

Appreciate you guys.

Sure why not. The game’s core mechanics feel so good and the designs of the spartans are really nice. The Mark V Zeta is one of my favourites.

Yep. Love the raw play of the game. Nailed it.

Pinning a lot of hope on the Season 2 update; they “just” need to get a few things back on track;

  • fix the major bits of desync (inconsistent hammer / rockets etc).
  • add in a XP rank to grind.
  • sort out the challenges fiasco
  • present a better / more useful shop front.

But the big swing will come with Forge / Scripting / Custom browser. Hopefully they can hit it out of the park.

What we can do on our end is have a community discord for finding players for Customs. Customs with settings is really ridiculously fun. Can make new friends this way as well.

Sorry, I’m fresh out of positivity. My hope burned bright for many months thanks only to the enjoyment that came from when the game worked, but I’m amazed we’ve gone this long and the only thing 343 has really done is fix btb that they broke. They shouldn’t get any credit for that.

Why try when 343 isn’t even trying?

I say show them the same respect they showed to the community. So if they want respect they literally need to actually earn it. I’m going to tell you some right now, blaming the community for their own deliberate poor actions doesn’t fly.

If 343 does something to elicit a positive response…they’ll get one. If they keep doing what they have been doing (not much) then nothing will change.

A really neat thing about 343 is that when in an event or something like that goes wrong, they will repay the players for their mess up, like the Tactical Ops event (Just needed to play in the last week and you get everything).

The only positive thing I saw for Halo infinite was attrition mode.
But unfortunately we can’t play it anymore :sob:

Try to play splitgate.
It’s a lot more fun than infinite.
I recently discovered this game and am glad that Halo of 343 is no longer irreplaceable .
Delete the game and then wait for the campaign update to check it out.
I deleted Infinite for two months, no bugs or ranking system and 343 torture.
I have become much more active and happy. Deleting the game is the best way to become positive .

Some people get hyper fixated on what they don’t have, and fail to acknowledge their blessings.

There has never been a better time to be a Halo fan. I’ve got…

  • A collection of six (6) legacy titles wrapped in a neat little bow complete with a match composer, customs browser, all their respective forge modes and pve modes.
  • Eight (8) total mainline titles and four (4) spinoffs into different genres of play.
  • A brand new adventure on a brand new Halo with some of the most refined enemy sandbox in the series and the freshest weapon sandbox in the series.
  • Twenty-some-odd books spanning the tenure of the series, an ARG, and audio dramas.
  • Four (more?) movies and series, not including all the sick live-action trailers of old or this big-budget fresh one with its own timeline such that I don’t know what’s going to happen and I’m on the edge as if experiencing Halo for the first time.

There is so much Halo content right now that it’s literally all my media consumption. I audiobook at work, stream the games during my lunch break, play locally at home when the kids go to bed, and now I’m watching a fresh TV series on Thursdays. And even more, I’ve got family tuning into this frequency via the show which is something I never thought I’d see.

Happiness is not something that happens to you, it’s a choice. I’ve been waving this Halo banner for a long time and see no reason to stop now.

Its fun as long as you dont end up playing on a broken server with high ping or low ping with high desync.
And after 10.000 kills and level 100 Im pretty bored with the lack of content and real ranking system, and new maps and more playlists.
Season 2 is just not good enough it must be 2 new maps in each playlist.
This game is missing so much ground content to keep me playlng. I think a break until S2 would be healthy for me, maybe even for S3.
But I wonder what state the game will be in S3, maybe its not until S4 this game will feel complete.
And that may be in December 2022. Its a big risk the population is so low, maybe under 10.000 that the game has killed itself.

But where new good Halo game? :orangutan:

I agree. This game has potential, but it’s current state I am just so bored of playing it.

Halo Infinite has brought back my brother and friends from high school to play Halo again. If that isn’t positive than I don’t know what is.

I would like to but it’s really hard to do when this game has way too many issues :unamused:

This summarises my view so much. Yes there are missteps, yes there are some owngoals, but everything can be fixed. The hardest thing to get right is the gameplay loop and they have nailed that.

Iv been trying my best to keep positive besides the bugs limited customization and lack of contact was really holding out for some news for what feels like forever I do find infinite fun but im feeling drained Iv given critiques even if my issues dont get address I was hopeing to hear about other players problems being handled but nothing doesn’t help that it feels like 343 consider us enemys to their plans so they dont tell us anything and the tv show wasnt really made for hardcore fans so i got nothing to distract me till season 2 feel kinda gutted honestly
