Look I really like some of the BTB maps and the grafix. But if Halo Infinite dies I wlll get kinda bummed. Sure there is a crap load of issues but if 343i does not get their act together sooner than later imho Halo Infinite will die and that would be a tragedy for sure. I really hope 343i can regain the confidence of the Halo Base again soon.

Halo Infinite in its current state is a joke. From a long time Halo fan I canāt quite believe that this game in 2022 remains so unpolished and with so many problems plaguing the multiplayer. Despite its flaws, I still enjoy the ranked matchmaking in this game, yet the fact that I can play ranked for two hours and gain 28 points, only to then lose one game 2v4 due to leavers/crashers and then crash myself in the second game, resulting in me being at a negative from when I came on. Melee attacks from myself and opponents are still not registering, blank shots are a frequent occurrence. Yes, the game mechanically feels good mostly, but I donāt know how much longer I can play this game before these issues drive me away. It is four months since release and realistically what has been doneā¦they have fixed the shop. I know these criticisms have been heard a thousand timesā¦yet people are still voicing them because they have not been resolved. Fix your game 343 please.

I saw how horrible Infiniteās launch state was gonna be from a mile away. Considering that they straight up delayed coop and forge, and went through several creative directors in about a year or two just gave me huge red flags on how the game was gonna turn out. You would think people would have been less surprised by the current state of this game given how 343ās track record was for Halo prior but people were too busy eating the game up because they were starved for any actual new halo content for 6 years.
While the foundation of Halo Infiniteās gameplay is so far pretty good, it doesnāt excuse how awful the launch has been with everything else in terms of there being no content, atrocious store/progression/customization system, and the lack of transparency between the devs and fans ever since that November launch. Even the campaign has a ton of flaws and overpromises that 343 failed to deliver but people seemed to have forgotten or gloss over. I think the main issue with 343 as a studio is that they try to reach for beyond the stars but usually end up blowing up or crashing on the moon. If only they donāt try to strive for being ambitious but instead stick to with what theyāre the most familiar with we could get some decent stuff from them as proven when they FINALLY mostly fixed MCC.
But who really knows, this is a studioās whoās management is so bad and out of touch, nothing really good can be done about it now, guess we have to wait for another halo Renaissance like we did with MCC.

A bit too little actually. I was hoping for a more even 50/50 split between teamwork and individual skill but itās more like 80/20.

Literally agree. Basically no content and for not 5, but 6 years they have been developing this game and halo 5 took like 2 /12 years and was a terrible game but had more content than this. Ive been playing online and literally the matchmaking is so tremendously poor i cannot even believe it. I literally just won a game after 13 matches, including last night, i won 3 ive lost 10ā¦why am i on q team when the next person has 5 and i have 16 when the other team has 16, 14, 14, etc. The match making is so poor, and they say a road map that doesnt existā¦likeā¦ just drop the gameā¦ bungie will always outshine you in everything you do. Poor communication, game crashing during online tournaments when the world is watchingā¦smh poorly built team, game developers, and view where literally 10 years of 343 literally messing up the entire timeā¦

The netcode has gotten worse every update. This gameās best state was pre-launch with the technical previews, to be honest. Every time 343 touches it, something gets worse.
The foundations of this game - the engine, the netcode, and the true skill 2 matchmaking, are all abysmal and are ruining what could otherwise be a great game.

Yeah this halo game made me almost give up on the franchise. Halo is my game and after mcc, to lack of content in some issues in halo 5 (barely any warzone maps and rehashed multiplayer maps with slight differences m) Iām kinda at a crossroads. Do I continue to have hope and get let down or do I wait 6 months til the game is good? Idk Iām getting frustrated at the lack of everything in this game.
I just want this game to succeed so bad but by the time itās good the population will just be the diehard fans and barely alive.
Like Iām speechless at how this game had been handled

The worst thing is that even at 23 ms, because the game is such a random piece of 343 employee (cause I canāt cuss, Iāll substitute expletives with 343 employee) one melee hit kills me. Meanwhile, my melee hit does not even register, and back smacks donāt even matter when literally the sound queues work, but the actual damage doesnāt. I really hope that Halo series die, along with anybody who supports Halo Infinite via Battle Pass. Hell, I paid for the campaign, and I really want a 343 employee refund because I felt like I just got ripped off by 343ās 343 employee netcode and multiplayer where nothing absolutely works on my end.

They keep saying forge is coming season 3 which leads me to believe two things. Itās ready for the most part but they are holding it off to use as content for a content thin product.
Or they just assume it will be ready by that point but there is no promise of that and we could have to wait longer.
Honestly we know they are holding back content simply because they have a content thin product

Same here. Honestly, Iāve only continued playing the game because of FOMO in relation to the event cosmetics. Joined a game today where I shot two rockets within reasonable vicinity of the enemy and didnāt kill them. Alt + F4ād right out of the game, bought Elden Ring, downloaded it, and probably wonāt bother with Infinite until they acknowledge AND fix their screw-ups. Mind you, Iāve never played any game like Elden Ring, but I guess this is what can happen when a developer puts thought behind their game.

The game was doomed when they decided to call it a live service even though it can be played offline they just shoe horned a drm or whatever crap to screw over people

Let alone they literally make them like ghosts and we can walk through and they hit us and somehow get a back smackā¦ bungie will always be suprior and i hope 343i reads this i really doā¦im tired of terribly coded games. If your engine was going to be this complex to code for and updates take 6 months to comeout with, maybe DONāT make such a complicated engine to code for that NO ONE knows how to code forā¦OR DONT get coders that hate the franchiseā¦both of which 343i continues to doā¦ smh

I love Infinites gameplay but everything else is shockingly worse then every other Halo release. Forge is our last hope. Or Halo going to a new game developer for good ( Epic Games or id Studios please)
