The new era of Halo is here. What do you think? This is the future of the Franchise. And it’s also my birthday 
Happy birthday!
I’m loving Infinite except for two things:
Battle pass progression is terrible. I can do awesome in a game and get no progress because I didn’t use a specific weapon or destroy a specific vehicle, or even play the specific gametype a challenge needs. The last one is especially annoying because I have absolutely no control over it. Which leads me to my other main gripe.
Choosing game types needs to be added from MCC. If I want to play only Slayer, let me choose that. If I need a CTF challenge, let me search only CTF matches.
Everything else is secondary to these two main issues. The game is smooth, guns feel great and gameplay is super fun. I have to say 343 did an amazing job with this game, just get the battle pass points fixed up and let me pick the games I want.
I feel it is really well done. I feel it emulates H3 with some H5 mechanics like clamber along with other H5 abilities moving them to equipment where they are a better fit. Over time they will flesh out playlists for Slayer vs. Objective and likely will include SWAT and other game modes. Looking forward to more as this evolves over the next weeks and months.
Happy Birthday! Personally I think the actual game itself is top notch and everything I’ve wanted from Halo for years. The progression system kind of ruins that a little bit for me, it’s horrible, aggressively and intentionally slow, after 4 hours of gameplay you should have a small amount of gear to customise with, instead I and the majority of players have absolutely nothing. If this is the price we pay for it being free to play I’ll pay the $100 price tag, I was ready to do it anyway, but I just can’t condone or get behind this system at all free to play or not.
I think they’re deleting posts about the progression system though, so they know absolutely nobody likes it and it will kill their game if they keep it like this.
As for the actual game though I couldn’t praise it enough, which is why the progression system leaves everything to be desired, 4-5 hours with no gear, shaders or anything? It’s practically unheard of.
@RiotGamer278 Happy Birthday!
I think… I will probably never be good at Infinite multiplayer. I figured that out during beta. I guess I prefer slow and simple to speedy and chaotic.
But I am looking forward to the campaign, and I’ll keep trying to improve at the multi if I can.
