You can get a decent one able to run most games relatively cheap.
Uhm.
Not only is that game over two decades old, a lot has changed since then.
But, you loading the game faster didn’t affect anything gameplay wise. It was the same game on both PCs, same information getting sent back and forth. Being below recommended specs for a program will always put you at a disadvantage.
Having fiber, can confirm this isn’t true
The game will use up a set amount of bandwidth at most, and going “to the extreme” with bandwidth will only ever make diminishing returns.
Your fiber is connected to your ISP, how they then connect to everything else is whatever they use and you’re subject to their connection forward from there. Your ISP is unlikely to be connected with a straight line to the server your match is on so your signal will go through several other servers to be relayed to your “destination”, i.e the server the match is on.
Fiber allows a larger bandwidth, more information downloaded per “time passed”, and an actually faster connection to your ISP, a lower latency. The thing here is, while fiber will reduce the ping somewhat, the biggest factor is distance between you and the match server. As long as the user has enough bandwidth, the game will function as it should, and the platform will send the same amount of information regardless of the connection bandwidth.
Me and the friends I met on halo 2/3 just arent that into how overly complicated they made the game with sprint, clamber, ads. ive went into how much the game changes because of these things and so have others so i wont go into that, instead ill list a couple things on why we dont stick around even if we liked those things.
i have more but i think it goes more into what i think halo should be not so much dealing with player retention
I bought the game for the Single Player experience. I adored Halo Single Player and Co-op throughout the life of this series. Halo: Infinite single player feels incomplete. It’s fun, the gameplay and mechanics are solid. Great! The missions and environments are repetitive, the campaign feels like an incomplete placeholder for a better experience that was never realized.
Unfortunately, I grew bored of the game after 46.8 hours of playtime. Campaign incomplete, and no interest in completing it.
I even did a tiny bit of multiplayer. I found the experience frustrating at the best of times Halo multiplayer doesn’t hold up for me unless I can verbally abuse my friends that are sitting on the couch nearby. Online multiplayer is wholely unsatisfying. Battle passes are an uninteresting annoyance.
Today I deleted Halo: Infinite. I’m sticking with the Master Chief Collection if I want more Halo, but I fear my interest in this series is over.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts here! Please continue to give feedback here in the forums so that things can change in the near future. We are all here to see the Halo franchise win! Please continue to be diligent and give feedback on your experiences. I know it gets frustrating, I know that Halo:Infinite needs a lot of work but this franchise would be nothing without us. They need us!
I almost gave up as well. I went on a 6 1/2 month stint and deleted every tweet on my twitter about Halo. I trolled the Instagram page, all of my friends know that I am a devout Halo supporter and I was telling them that I quit. Deep down inside I was hurting. I hyped this game up ever since they announced it and it crushed me when it released. I played all of the beta test flights and I gave very detailed feedback afterwards thinking that things would be different upon launch. I was sadly mistaken.
I agree that the Campaign is lackluster and has room for way more. I completed it on Legendary difficulty and for the most part it was an “Okay” experience. I beta tested the Co-op campaign before it released and I was very upset to see 3 other Master Chiefs running around the campaign. Its just lackluster and falls way short of greatness. I do not know what 343i has planned for future updates to the campaign but Im really pushing for 343i to allow us to play the campaign with our own created Spartan. This is no diss to Master Chief but its time for us to move on from him and create our own stories. It does not mean that Master CHief needs to be “Killed off” or die but its high time that the Halo Universe is expanded to something MORE…
As I said before, we are all here on these forums for the same reason, WE WANT HALO TO WIN, however, if things do not change here soon, Im afraid it may be the end… For me atleast… We will keep the faith, but I admit that it is extremely difficult…
just saw a teammate punch a dude four times and the dude not die. can’t tell between desync and cheaters at this point.
The answer people won’t want to accept is that the core gameplay is not actually that good. The lack of content and the glacial slow drip don’t help, nor do the rampant technical issues like Desync, but people were already leaving in droves well before that.
I genuinely believe that Infinite would not have gotten anywhere near the same praise for its “core gameplay” if it had maintained the art and sound from Halo 4 or Halo 5. But people start to leave once the gameplay experience they are having just doesn’t match up to what they are seeing and hearing
I’m not sure how you’re confirming this, or even what you mean by this exactly? Do you even know how much bandwidth a game uses? I have recorded Halo using on average 127 Kbps (kilobits per second) typically 80’s Kbps down and 40’s Kbps up. Games do not require huge amounts of bandwidth, ping is king with online gaming.
Halo games be weird about ping though it seems.
How’s it been put? Broken game is broken.
I don’t feel like I can attribute my k/d and stuff to purely skill
How am I proving it out? The example is for MCC so not really for here
Ah my brain had to clarify. How data is transferred is good too. Regardless of bandwidth used, I’m still likely to get that data before somebody else. India is only a half sec on 1:1 convos and it seems to be the physical limitations, not the speed of the internet, causing the delay
I’m not understanding this comment, either.
Light transferring over glass is faster than electricity across a copper cable
This is a claim, and you don’t know for sure. How do you know someone isn’t getting a better ping than you are? And I’m pretty sure Halo is using some type of lag compensation, hence for dying around corners.
Ping is ping. 80ms ping on fiber is not going to be better than 5ms ping on copper.
Also remember, you’re not 100% fiber. The fiber is being ran to a local ONT then converted to copper. Either coax or as in my case, since I have over a gig, right to ethernet.
Half second or less (didn’t actually time it) delay on a 1:1 connection to India. Physical limitations are a thing.
Also, being the one with 5-15 ping… I can’t really argue it I guess
Half a second would be 500ms.
That just represents you’re connected to a server close by. You would have the same ping if you were on copper 25 Mbps down/up or fiber 2.5Gbps down/up.
I really don’t understand your argument here.
I don’t either. Just bein dumb
