I would like to know what tou guys think of the current state of the game. Most notably halo infinite but I would like to know what you think about all of the games.

I rather enjoyed the game until I read the new patch notes for the Winter pass. The challenges were my saving grace to progress through the battle pass due to working. Bummer…

Good. Halo Infinite had a bit of a rough start, but is improving quickly. I like it.

  • MCC needs to give players the ability to setup a control scheme that matches Guardians’ default control scheme on a controller while also giving players the customization ability plus depth of Infinite.

  • MCC should update its skill assessor, implement TrueMatch, and investigate adding vehicle seat switching to all these classic titles. Two are key QoL enhancements while the other would be a much appreciated gameplay feature.

  • Players should have access to Halo 5’s full range of content via matchmaking in some permanent fashion. I believe there’s a low resource investment option that should be considered by 343i. One of the changes should’ve been done already; swap the Core Play playlist in for the Quickplay playlist.

  • Some period in the future Guardians should receive a foundational overhaul that provides it with a Series Update, cross-platform crossplay, introduces a match composer, Warzone Forging/Customs, more advanced custom controller settings, perhaps a final sandbox update to address the default BR’s Red-Reticle-Range plus a few other minor improvements, and finally add the flag weapons skins.

  • Infinite needs a laundry list of things to be introduced, improved upon, or changed. Then the title can start being worthy of more people’s time investment. The winter update is a step in the right direction; except, for the matchmaking changes that they’ve worked up for the ranked environment. It’s a mistake. There’s a much better solution; though, it requires investing resources into developing a secondary playlist rank system to complement the role that CSRs should strictly serve which isn’t to be used by the matchmaker.

Been playing Halo 4 on MCC recently and there have been a few times where the dialogue just drops out during cutscenes. The librarian scene and the final confrontation between the diadact scene. any fixes for this? its sucks to be engrossed in the game and story only to be taken out of it by issues like this.
