Anything coming doesn’t matter in the slightest. You complain to complain because you lack any knowledge of the world you feel entitled to. i explained that if i had to deep dive into why you were wrong then you are a lost cause. which you demonstrate in this reply.
you feel validated cause a couple people on a forum post share your diluted opinion even though you all are just a loud and obnoxious minority of the player and fan base.
Why are you even on these forums? all you are doing is complaining about weird things that have nothing to do with the actual game itself. You and like a handful of other people all are just parroting each other on several different posts. Weekly Challenges aren’t considered content by any one and they were never said to be content by anyone. You clearly don’t understand what goes into the process of making a game let alone a live service.
Yes. 100% yes and do you know what it’s already showing in the numbers. People are leaving in droves. I’d rather play a worse game that actually works. Fix the servers ffs
Compared to every other free-to-play game Halo INfinite’s launch has been masterful.
Game Informer wrote an article about this very topic stating Infinite compared to their competition has had one of the best launches ever.
The problem is you are coming into this world clearly for the first time. Welcome to always BETA games. Enjoy!
compared to Vanguard and 2042, yes.
This doesn’t even mention the completely lackluster & generic campaign they charged $60 for.
Anyone who disagrees with you is delusional and inhaling MASS amounts of copium. Such an embarrassment for a “live-serve game”.
Deleted. Not taking the bait. Sorry
Don’t know how intentional it was from Nintendo, but the Switch seems to have become the go-to place for those smaller indie games you mention. The console certainly can’t compete (graphics wise), but the insane sales figures keep ticking along.
The fact that the only 4 updates have popped up since the release (2 of those being actual updates), it is really making me feel like they are understaffed and can’t get content out fast enough
But don’t you understand? These things take time. There’s just never enough time to make the servers work, or make the monetization reasonable, or include key features. 343 wants to do those things, but they can’t unless you sign in and keep playing, and give them as long as they need.
Your expectations are brutal*

Things cost time and money… you’d think MS wouldn’t be in short supply of this for one of their “premier” studios
So now that we look back on this…how on the money was I?
Where’s the love, dedication and devotion to make this game into the gamemit should be?
It’s just so very, very disappointing.
Wow man those are some brutal expectations that the UI just cannot support.
I’m sad this games going the way it is, cause it has fairly solid foundation, just nothing else on top of that.
I think sometimes bigger studios look at an IP like Halo as something that “sells itself”, thinking of it as “too big to fail”, and therefore the studio devotes less resources to that IP to increase their profit margin. From a business perspective, they “don’t have to worry about Halo.”
Unfortunately, it seems to have backfired with Infinite. A mentality like this does a huge disservice to both the fans who have supported the IP for decades, as well as understaffed / overworked developers who need more resources than what they’re given.
The Free-To-Play / Live Service model doesn’t help, either…
I see you have been posting wins for months

Except we know this isn’t true because it’s pretty well documented that Halo Infinite had an enormous amount of resources pumped into it, both in terms of money, manpower and time. It still came out barebones. It was poorly managed, not underfunded.
Was speaking more so to the contracter situation at 343 – not having to pay healthcare to your employees as a means of cutting costs. To your point though – I did say understaffed, good clarification and I’d agree that bad management is a huge reason Halo Infinite is likely in the state it is.
