not custom matches, Bot Bootcamp
Never tried bot boot camp I’ve mostly just done quick play and fiesta and a few custom games and the amount of bots that can be in the game are very limited only eight even in a big team Battle you can only have eight bots which is interesting when big team Battle can have up to 24 players
Really does get more depressing the more I think about it.
All I wanted was a normal full priced game that was functioning and fun at launch but instead we get this free to play crap with an insanely predatory monetization system.

The worst of all is that they give you a strike if you leave many games, I already have my 1st strike and I am forced to play the game modes that I do not need to be able to close the game out of frustration.
My ‘challenge’: capture a flag
5 HOURS (NOT MATCHES - HOURS!!!) not a single CTF.
Finally enough 50xps to get a swap
I swap
Next game - CTF
I cap 2 flags

This is no conspiracy. “You need Oddball? F**k you for hours I guess” says the game. It’s me right now. Last week it was Stronghold. The algorithm is real and they don’t even try to hide it. I am talking about 3 or 4 slayers straight and 3 or 4 Capture the flag and 3 or Stronghold before having one Oddball.

havent had to much of a problem with the ctf or odd ball game types, consider joining the halo discord and playing with real teamates.
- Radar still doesn’t work right. Don’t believe me? Go to the shooting range and tell me how often an enemy at 10m shows up on a radar that’s supposed to reach 18m.
- They replaced too many weapons and nerfed over half into the ground. Why would I use a Stalker Rifle over a Sniper or a BR? Why would I use a Commando (it’s basically a full auto replacement for the DMR significantly harder to use) over an AR? Why would I use a Pulse Carbine over an AR or BR? Why would I use a shotgun over a sword or hammer?
- They significantly reduced the handling and power of vehicles.
- In general, significantly reduced AA and bullet magnetism compared to previous games.
- Locked over 2/3 of the cosmetics behind a $10-30 paywall, not including items not in the battle pass or events.
- Charging $60 for what is basically a fraction of a game unless the campaign has as much to offer as other popular open world games.
- The challenge system is practically designed to work against you with how MM works, and you can’t leave without risking a ban. “Complete/ win 3 Slayer matches in PVP”, forcing you to play against others with no guarantee you’ll even get Slayer in the next 10 matches much less a good team. This system is even worse where events are involved and you can’t do them until you complete the regular weekly challenges.
- Continued play time becomes less rewarding, and your performance literally means nothing.
There’s probably more I’m forgetting. As cool as the new mechanics are and as cool and satisfying as several of the new weapons are, it’s like they’re trying to break Halo and rebuild it as a completely different game, but are failing miserably. MCC was trash at launch, took YEARS before it finally got any notable attention, H5 was trash from day one and only got worse. Infinite will fail if this keeps up.
Even if it does see the kind of improvements they gave MCC, I’ve already put that money towards the anniversary/ WQ deluxe bundle of Destiny. So not going to bother with buying Infinite any time soon.

Adding challenges is not the solution. Challenges are part of the problem as they are currently.
Psst… The radar range is measured by diameter not radius. It’s not bugged, just worthlessly short.
Incredibly misleading, but point still stands that it’s basically useless. I’d take just about any other radar over it.
It’s almost like they have an algorithm in game to purposely give you what you don’t need
Dude I need 12 more wins to get that not that great timate challenge reward and sudde yl I get put with teams that aren’t even trying. Kinda like the algorithm decided to match bad against onyx players
Just leave the match if it a not the one your looking for. There isn’t any penalties for leaving a non ranked match. Note I have not completed in ranked matches in Halo:infinite yet.
I was having the Same problems made a post about it too and if it’s not what I’m looking for I leave. No reason to waste my own time. I would suggest you not waste yours and leave the match if it’s not what your looking for. However if the problem is something larger that should be talked about too.
I know I have had some interesting players I have been matched up with and based on their names I wanted to leave.
To be fair though the MCC match composer is a godsend for people that like the mix of slayer and objective. It means that people who are at least okay with objective modes can search and still likely find a match. Still, there’s nothing wrong with getting people to play a mode they don’t normally want to try. We already accept this when it comes to maps. I don’t get to say NO RECHARGE! No, if I want to play then recharge is on the table.
I’d like to see a customs browser at the end of the day so that people who just want to play slayer on Behemoth for an hour can do exactly that.
Lol, my man…are you serious? That gripe has to be the worst one yet.
Nah defending it is terrible. If the playerbase outright shows, now and in the past, they don’t want to play these gametypes the vast majority of the time then you don’t force people to play them. At worst it should be a playlist of objective game modes for 4v4 and objective game modes for 8v8 while leaving BTB to its most popular game modes.
Next weeks challenges, play your normal amount, but do the challenges blindly. Don’t look at them at all.
How many did you complete and how far have you progressed by the end of the week?

Wait How many times can you leave before you catch the ban hammer. I managed to complete the Ultimate challenge, Win 17 matches of PVP…
It left many games game where my team wasn’t playing the objective. Hell had or where the dude carried the flag back to the enemy
and then your punished for leaving a match which you can do very little to complete your challenges and if you quit enough you have to wait up to 16 HOURS!! and this penalty applies weather or not you game crashed, or whatevet the dumb disconnects are.
