Stop whining about everything in Halo Infinite

There’s this new trend making the rounds on YouTube, where a creator picks a random, specific part of Halo Infinite and starts moaning and whining about “how it sucks” and “why 343 is a terrible company for doing it.”

Look, Halo Infinite, in its current state, is a rather bad game, there’s no denying that. However, you cannot look me in the eyes and tell me that every aspect of Halo Infinite is terrible, because that’s simply not true. We all have different opinions, yes, but if someone went up to you and said that Halo 3 was a terrible game, down to the maps, weapons, multiplayer and such, would you respect their opinion? Yes.
Does that mean that what they said is true? Absolutely not. Because Halo 3 is objectively not a bad game. It can be flawed sometimes, but its not bad, not even close.
Same thing applies for Halo Infinite.

To get the point across, here are some fictionalized, mildly exaggerated titles for some of the videos:

“Why Escharum in Halo Infinite SUCKS! :rage:

“Why is Halo Infinite’s UI so BAD?! :nauseated_face:

“Why is CTF in Halo Infinite so TERRIBLE?! :sob:

“Why Halo Infinite’s sound design is SHAMEFUL! :skull:

Yeah, maybe this is a silly thing to complain about, but believe it or not, 343 has managed to not screw up in every single aspect of Halo Infinite. I know some of you can’t go a single day without sending a death threat to 343’s office, and to those people, I highly advise you to take a deep breath, go outside, and rethink your life choices. Whining won’t make the game better, it’s going to make it worse than it already is.

Edit: Alright, @CrapWeesel you think you’re funny? What kind of enjoyment do you get spamming reactions on posts? Just stop man, you’re being a nuisance at this point.

It’s called Feedback. And without it, we probably still won’t have a Team Salyer Playlist. Beside… complaining about people complaining is kinda… funny. ;D

Son’t know where you found out how many death threats 343 receives but on that matter, I think we can all agree it’S not the way to express ones opinion.

Look man, I like almost every Halo game equally. I only have maybe a couple negative things to say about each one.

The animations are slow in CE
Legendary Co-op is brutal in 2
Halo 3 is the slowest walk speed
Rookie dies in ODST…
Noble 6 dies in Reach…
Halo 4 Flagnums sucked
Halo 5 Req Packs sucked

Halo Infinite? I mean… I genuinely dislike the entire Campaign, the physics, the sandbox, all the multiplayer maps, especially the BTB maps, the way BTB works in Infinite, the free to play system, the shop prices, the lazy cosmetics, everything. All of it sucks. Unlike the other Halo titles, where I barely have anything bad to say, I barely have anything good to say about Infinite.

The Forge is great… and I guess I like the armor effects and animations. That’s about it. The music is also pretty good.

I just don’t have much to like about Infinite. I love every other Halo. Even 4 and 5. Not Infinite. It just feels like the LEAST “Halo” Halo game. It feels like someone just put Master Chief into a bootleg Titanfall Destiny clone or something. It feels soulless and generic. It’s a sterile multiplayer experience. It’s boring. It’s a cash grab. The Campaign was short and very forgettable. It has no replay value. There’s nothing fun about the multiplayer. It’s stale. Even HCS pros don’t like to play it.

You don’t have to try to defend or deny the flaws. Bashing the flaws is not trending because people just feel like bashing Infinite. It’s trending because it’s true, and people want 343 to just own up to their mistakes and fix them.

Not new.

I think the main thing for me is that so many of these content creators who only made negative videos about the game then also complained that people weren’t watching their Halo content.

I didn’t know a lot of these creators existed until Infinite, and constanty seeing videos like the listed examples didn’t make me want to watch thheir content.

Or people would make videos about how they’re done making Halo content, and then they’d make another about how bad Infinite is.

It’s exhausting.

Obviously the game has issues that need to be addressed, but not eveything is an issue that needs to be addressed.

So why aren’t you respecting those people whose opinion is that halo infinite is bad?

When someone said halo 3 was bad, did you come to a forum to mock them?

You must respect those who dislike halo 3, a great game? But shame those who dislike halo infinite, a terrible one?

I get what you are trying to say. And personally, as a newer player, I’m on your page. But they do have a point, this IS called feedback and Im glad we have it.

yeah its not a trend and has been a thing for quite a while. I’m on the optimist side. But we NEED feedback. If 343 saw that we weren’t “complaining” or so, they wouldn’t fix any thing necessarily.

yeah its a little bit ironic reading the op

People who “complain” are the ones that want the game to be better. Without the complaints the game would’ve probably been similar to launch state or it would’ve actually just died out without anyone mentioning the game ever again. Improvements to the game don’t happen if no one tells the devs whats wrong with the game considering they’re just shipping whatever they want.

If you’re complaining about people complaining because you think the game is fine, great just keep it to yourself and play the game that’s so awesome and finished. Don’t try to reduce the impact of people actually wanting the game to be good.

You even mentioned a bit of feedback in a post:

Why talk about coatings, just buy the color blue for every core again for 20 bucks, game is perfect you’re not making the game any better by giving feedback. /s

Yes exactly. Feedback is the only way to make the game better really. As long as it is respectful

Correct, if something is good, let the devs know. If something is bad, let them know as well.
It’s the only way to move forward, especially in a LiVe SeRviCe game where half the game is still in development.

This makes me wish downvoting was a thing. The toxicity should be addressed. Making fun of somebody attempting to address it is part of the problem

Gotta go with OP on this one. Stuff is odd

Click bait titles and broad complaints or outright lies aren’t good feedback

It’s super important to have feedback and a place where players can come to to praise or critique specifics within a game. Obviously you can’t make any game that truly, fully pleases everyone.

I finally feel like Infinite is moving in the true right direction with this update and Season 3 right around the corner.

Broadly stating “it’s called feedback” while ignoring his points isn’t a salient argument.

@esnoox cause it’s technically a callout
