For all the complaining people do about this game im amazed at the forge creations and custom games. The halo community have always created amazing things

I think a lot of the complaining is borne out of frustration and disappointment at the failure to make the most of the great community and previous successful games.
Sure some people have descended into straight up hatred of 343i and Infinite but most people would be thrilled if things got fixed going forward.

343 is wasting time by not leveraging the forge community, we see population spikes every time a season is launched and casuals see a trailer on youtube and jump in to try new maps, but forgers have provided enough maps to add every week, so ideally every week Halo Infinite could have new content promoted with a trailer and keep the public interested. Forge content IS THE THING that justifies the subtitle INFINITE, I have close to 400 high quality maps bookmarked and more are being made as we speak. A lot of these maps look indistinguishable from devmade maps, a lot of them have interesting layouts and provide freshness.

I don’t know why they don’t do that either. They did it in H5 and even the maps that looked poorly made were still fun when they put them in rotation. I wonder if the Microsoft cuts are hitting hard and it isn’t gonna matter anyways. With the way things are looking I think it’s a bit too late in Microsoft’s eyes. Which is sad. I’d kill to be a fly on the wall at 343i right now
Pro tip: You will always receive more negative feedback than positive feedback because people are more vocal about things they dislike. If people don’t critisize something they’re either not bothered by it, or they like it, meaning you probably did something right. Direct praise isn’t needed once you adjust your understanding of how people react.

While I do like to see Forge maps, a lot of people have genuinely accused 343 of being lazy by introducing Forge maps into matchmaking. Even though we’re still getting dev maps…
The great irony with that the community playlist forge maps look way more impressive than any of the Detachment, Argyle or the Pit. I’d argue most of them play better as well although the Pit is pretty fun.
There certainly is some straight up negative feedback and some very toxic players out there. I feel like most people on this forum that do complain do so because they want to see the game succeed and try to give constructive criticism which should be welcome to devs. i feel like if the game was that bad then people wouldnt even take the time to write a bad review and just move along and never come back which doesn’t seem to be the case for most of us. Usually if I whine it’s because I can’t smoothly play the game and that’s all I want to do. I almost play no other video games except this one so when servers and desync are at their finest I basically just shut off the x box and say F it and go do something else.
I could understand that in halo 5 days because forge was very limited and the maps looked bad, but Infinite’s forge is almost as powerful as proper developer tools and people can create visually impressive maps that don’t look out of place alongside devmaps.
