Then why did you play sixteen games in a row last night?

Terrible live service, no consistency in content drops and no modding support. Fix the first two, this game has the potential to be HUGE.

is it dying from lack of players? i guess not but i wouldn’t say it’s thriving in any way either.
For the same reason I regret letting my cousin convince me to play WoTLK Classic. Boredom. I hadn’t touched this game in months and had to re-install it when a friend asked to play. Team Snipers is the only thing keeping me playing atm.
Whether I keep playing or not after MW2 comes out remains to be seem, but none of that really changes the fact that the game is pretty dead, especially for people outside of NA. Heck I’m in NA and my queue times are up to 5 minutes sometimes.
Having people disappear for months at a time and may or may not come back and play for a week or two isn’t healthy for a live service game. The main reason I stopped playing to begin with was the challenge system sucks and the limited playlists was awful. They have somewhat resolved the playlist issues, but we still don’t have a team slayer or swat ranked so without a ranked mode I find fun (I hate objective game modes) I’m already getting bored outside of the fact I LOVE to snipe in games making team snipers the only thing keeping me slightly interested.

Wow that’s miserable I’m actually sorry for you, having to touch World of Warcraft at any point of your life is just sheer pain. Least, I always imagined it to be - I was too busy playing the games it killed at the time of its release.
We probably could use a ranked OBJ mode but, swat isn’t competitive my person, it just isn’t.
swat is plenty competitive.
i’d say it’s dead when I run into the same group of players in ranked for 3-4 games in a row. coincidence or a dead game?

Noooo, what I mean is that Tactical is uh, how do I put it…
It does not at all make you better at the game. It’s a snapshot easy kill mode. It’s not really Halo.
It ain’t dead in any sense beyond the broadest most meaningless sense of the term. Is Infinite in a bad state? Absolutely. Lack of content, the challenge system sucks, and 343 take ages to update the game. But are they still developing nonetheless? Yes. Can I find a match of social in like 10 seconds? Also yes.

Not being Halo is the entire point of swat…Its a different skillset and sometimes getting away from the grenade/power weapon spam and shield nonsense is a nice change of pace.

This isn’t the way you treat players having issues. You don’t alienate and penalize them just because of where they live.
If this is the attitude you want to have toward players in regions like Australia or Asia, then you shouldn’t sell your services there to begin with.

The playerbase is faltering, dev support is marginal (but increasing), and the title is underperforming compared to its competitors. Though I wouldn’t go as far as calling it outright dead, the game is in fact dying as of now-- unless it can somehow reverse the trend.
Exactly this. And I’m right in the middle of the US. Never had a problem finding a game, yet there would still be the same people in my ranked games 2-3 games in a row.
One of the main reasons I quit. I jumped on Overwatch 2 and once they fix their server issues, Ill be playing that. I never knew Overwatch was so fun. Then Call of Duty coming next month. Still playing Apex Legends. Could give a damn about Halo now.

Can confirm. Halo infinite is dead to me

Because battle royale stole the show, and fully armored guys fighting aliens and demons seems to be an unappealing IP idea for many these days.
sanctimonious whinging about whining.
