"Wake up John"...."Wake up 343"..., Seriously

Just coming to the Halo Infinite forum specifically and scrolling down through all of the topics… like wow. Every post is negative and or against the game so far, (Respectfully so, not saying it’s not deserved or that some of it isn’t suggestions for the game) I’d say it’s time that the vacation or “break” is over. Or about time for a road map. Maybe a little communication in the least. You’re losing your playerbase by the day, therefore also losing long time and new fans alike. I freaking love Halo, practically my only hobby and favorite game since I was like 7.

I just wonder, if I saw everything that was wrong with this game I’d pull it and fix it.

I also wonder who’s idea it was to price everything. Personally I’d change that immediately also and tell whoever made the prices to deal with it, considering whoever did make the prices needs to ask themselves if they are willing to pay that much and weekly on items.

I just don’t think the community is being taken seriously at all and it’s bothersome

I honestly just don’t care. If they fix it, they fix it. Until then, I’ll just drop this game.

They get three weeks. A lot of people are seemingly on vacation a week into the new year. I wonder if their vacation rolls over?

They have a lot of contracted help that they don’t hire and doesn’t get benefits. Maybe they can fix the game, surely they are motivated.

since most of this community is completely inept to voice criticism properly and does nothing more than trying their personal preferences as objective facts ; I’d say it is wondering that 343i devs don’t want to communicate with those human-sized chimps - having to scrool through all those useless rants is what’s really bothersome.

All of the posts here are just hate just to hate at this point. The Offspring song, It’s Cool to Hate is so true right now. Hating just to ride that “hype/hate” train.

Pulling the game is not a choice according to the forum goers here. They would rather wait like a sitting duck for 343 to feed them like a baby.

343 needs to make hard 180 turns. NOW.

Pull the game.

Make multiplayer paid

Fix or remove the store

Do something. Because small updates here and there isn’t ganna cut it. Even if they release a map or two it won’t hold people over. Theres so many angles this game is messed up in from barely any ranked playlists to no collison. Each of these updates will take a lot of time. By then the game will fail harder and harder

It’s funny you are the only person that doesn’t add anything but people are here to hate in your eyes?

Even the people who go against me have more feedback than you.

I think we have been pretty clear about everything. Just because you feel someone was too opinionated doesn’t mean that people aren’t upset as a whole.

They aren’t waking up. They inhaled their own farts so deeply.

Wouldn’t waste your time with them. Most of the kids are fans of 343 not Halo, they’ve built a false friendship in their heads with the community guys and actually believe they care about them. It’s naivety and delusion. It’s actually a massive part of the problem, some of these people will defend them to the death. I always see the same names on here defending them. Certain Youtube/Twitch influencers (Not mentioning any names) are the cause of that.

Dude honestly I’m looking at that Pokemon Arceus game, I know it’s just Nintendo but the Pokemon games are pretty fun, hell even thought about Getting the new diomond one. But I. Waiting for it to be compatible with pokemon home so I can speed run the Main story.

Bro they dumped like what 80 million into this game, delayed it for a whole year,

And somehow they went into meetings and development groups and said hey you know what guys, I know we are making it so you can’t customize your individual cor exactly how you want, so let’s take the 60 default colors from go 5… Give the playerbase 10 of those and sell them back the other 50…

343 went in with the idea of take away and slowly give back either as a fix, updated content or microtransactions.

For me I know stuffs not coming till season 2 aka May 2022.

But if they have Co op campaign, forge, and cross core customization done before season 2… That stuffneeds to drop ASAP like even if it’s on a middle of a work week at a random hour just send it out of it’s ready.

But knowing then they need to fill in content cus they basically ran out of stuff already it seems. So they will turn in late assignments and.say it’s new updated content.

80 million into development on Microsoft s Flagship Franchise, and they came.out with a let’s take away content and release withput content, while provide the .lst robust customization that’s also extremely restrictive and very dime and nickel ish.

I have always said that one of the biggest problems with 343i is communication: they don’t do it often enough, leaving many in the Halo Community scratching their heads. Those who know me and have seen my posts know that I will defend 343i to a certain extent, but even I have dropped Halo: Infinite for the time being until things get sorted out.

That’s all gaming forums are good for. Gone are the days when developers communicate here. So the circular hatred builds up to where any praise for the game is unwelcome.

I wasn’t as aware of issues until I came here just yesterday.

I think you’re being to charitable tbqh

I think 343’s thing is that they don’t take the complaints seriously, they look at the metrics, decide they look fine, and don’t change course, and by the time the numbers actually look bad, there isn’t enough time to fix anything before they lose most of their player base.

Basically yea, smaller indie developers always look outside just the metrics they take a grasp of the communjit

Don’t forget infinite is the start to their 10 year plan for halo and with it being this terrible expect some garbage Halos to be made (hoping other than Halo wars 3) in the future that’ll be fixed years later.

Took them 4 years to fix mcc. It came out in 2014 and they fixed the mp in 2018 when they added reach and introduced crossplay with pc. Halo 5 came out in 2015 it took them 2 years to fix it with its mess for everything and even then I didn’t bother to return.

I’ve uninstalled infinite I don’t care about that game anymore its terrible, its a sweat fest they cater more for esports of the game than they do for everything else. Its nothing like a modern day Halo 3 its literally another Halo 5 and they had said they weren’t going to make the same mistakes as they did with Halo 5.

Its missing core features that they plan on adding months later. 343 is devolving halo than evolving it.

Bungie had co-op campaign in CE and they managed to add mp at the last minute even though it was only local and they had co-op in Halo 2 and that game had so much stuff cut from it and it was being held together by gum, duct tape and toothpicks. They had a big cheating problem and were able to learn from it.

What does 343 do? Make the mp free to play with no anticheat and no in game report you have to go out of your way to go onto the halo support website and file a ticket to report someone for possibly cheating. Have they not seen the issues that Respawn (apex), Activision (COD Warzone) and many other games and companies (THEIR COMPETITION) had to deal with making their game free to play?

Clearly they haven’t seen that they had to deal with cheaters and their solution was to make an anticheat software (although it did come a lot later). Those companies literally went through a lot of trial and error to find the solution, they basically did all the work for 343 to avoid the same mistakes.

But at least with Activision and Respawn they were smart to add an ingame report button.

So much wasted money on Halo merch and stuff just for it to be garbage I wish I was able to go back in time and tell my past self to not buy it and tell him its going to be a big flop.

Someone told me that Halo infinite is rewarding and I honestly want to know where that is true? Because I lost 1 match and I deranked from 99% of D3 to the 99% of D2.

Literally lost 1 match and got deranked by so much and I’ve won ranked matches on obj where I’ve got negative kd by 18 - 20 but with a positive kda and the most obj timeand flag caps out of everyone in the game and I also derank. I’ve had a lot of games where I’ve won and had positive KD and KDA with no OBJ time and still deranked.

1 recent match I lost and went positive on both KD and KDA and this person on the other team who went 11 - 27 increased in rank. That pissed me off. Ik I’m capable of onyx but this rank system is garbage and has major flaws.

Thank god for steam charts to show infinite’s current player base bc that had 100k ppl at the start of November and in December it dropped by more than half. At least with that it gives me an estimate population of console players because 343 loves hiding the numbers.

Its amazing Bungie showed population numbers in their games they never had to hide it.

Its very sad that at one point I wanted to be a game Dev and work at 343 because of Halo but seeing how its turned out and the path its been going and will go to. I’ll still become a game Dev but not work at 343.

Yes, we need some honest post-holiday feedback to let us know what all issues they recognize and plan to fix, so that we may either focus our ire or be relieved of it.

Server-side issues are my #1 (I had to stop playing today it was so bad. BTB is still hard to get into and unstable once I’m in. It wasn’t this way for me in November.)
XP/Match Reward rework is my #2 (Sean W just released a video on YT detailing my exact thoughts on this.)
#3: Either focus on implementing some version of Forge or design some new maps. Preferably one extra 4v4 and two more BTB with reliable tank spawns on both sides and some open ground.

Do how is 343 struggling with 12v12… I get BF2042 didn’t have a perfect launch but I’m on maps with 120 or more players against another 120 or more players… With jets, tanks, choppers and tornadoes…

And 343 is struggling with their 12v12 mode… Like dude 80 million dollar budget and 12v12 is a struggle…how. like that’s what’s my question how do they break a mode with just 12v12… Like that’s not even alot of players…

And there’s some people who think Halo can manage a BR… Bro they can even manage 12v12…

If they ever do a BR that thing is gonna be beyond broken, given their track record.
