If you want to do things right then get rid of the F2P model, it makes people continuously asking for more content and spending more money for it, it’s compulsive buying and you never feel happy about buying something and always want more because you didn’t work for it. Giving people what they want without work leads to yearning for more. I want an “everything is obtainable if you work hard enough” model so we can enjoy having our eyes set in something instead of our credit card ready to buy the next things.
Fix the issues. After that I have a list of things I’d like to see added.
More asymmetrical maps and maps that are not 3 lane.
Tanks, banshees, wasps being available at spawn on each base in BTB.
More vehicles (Gause Hog, mantis)
No RNG weapon and vehicle spawns, especially in BTB.
Bring back some OG weapons and equipment (shotgun, spartan laser, bubble shield etc)
Bring back the OG game modes too.
Private servers for customs.
I want the free to play model to be abandoned, the complete removal of microtransactions, and the season passes to go away in favor of a more traditional progression/unlock system.
Free to play was a mistake.
That door is closed. MS tried to reacquire them recently, but bungie made a deal with sony instead.
I want other ranked playlists besides Team Hardcore and an updated rank system that allows you to grind for your rank as opposed to being placed their ASAP and having every game be a sweatfest
Honestly…to abandoned this game entirely and try again with a full new game. The look and feel of this game is pretty good, but the F2P model just sucks and so does the new campaign story. If you’re going to reboot the story, then reboot it and don’t try to shoe horn in a new narrative into the existing. Both end up suffering
Chalk this game up to being a swing and miss and go back to the drawing board.
Keep the art style, keep the music, come up with a completely new story, make it open world or don’t, I don’t care just so long as staple functionality isn’t lost like co-op and mission select. Ditch the slipspace engine and go to Unreal 5, go back to the Halo 2/3 ranking system, and don’t release the game until all aspects are ready. The game needs to be released in a complete state or not at all.
Finally and most importantly, 343 and MS need to commit to their leadership and back them up so you aren’t changing leads 3 times over the course of development. Whether it’s Joe Staten or someone else, there needs to be a single vision that the whole team can get behind and move in a single direction. I have no doubt this is why Infinite has so many issues and is incomplete.

A ping filter, at the very least
Literally a handwritten apology and resignation of the entire studio. Wish I was joking.
What do I want? A game that feels like a full, complete Halo game rather than something that was designed by committee and released piecemeal. Something that actually iterates on the Halo games that came before it, rather than tries to reinvent the wheel only to give us a game that is -Yoink!- and missing core staples.
A game that isn’t chasing F2P and MTX trends.
More maps and game modes with a season pass and challenge system like MCC. Along with any store items that are added be kept in the store forever and have special limited holiday items that are the only ones to actually disappear. It’s really not hard and it’s what most players have been saying since the beginning.
Right now all i want is Neon Superfly and Neon Beat bundles. Both have stuff I NEED for my looks and they are some of the few bundles left that need a rerun.
I mean I’m in a similar boat as you @Weird_Shroom. I need only two of the week 1 fractures tenrai bundles to complete my yorori collection and maybe a dozen and a half other bundles, which isn’t as much as it sounds like because most of them are daily’s.
Dude I hate playable Sangheili. So no won’t be a satisfied player
what I want is to not be forced to wait 10 flipping years for a complete game.
This is not hard to understand.
Halo infinite is VASTLY incomplete,
Being drip fed features that SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED AT LAUNCH, is not CONTENT.
Adding game modes that came as Staple in older games is NOT A CONTENT UPDATE.
This practice of ripping everything apart and rebranding it as if it were the “new exciting mode” Is an insult to the intelligence of the Halo player base.
The fact that their spending tons of development time on This new Battle Royal mode, and not spending development time on critical features like FileShare/Theater/Forge/PreGame&PostGame Lobbies/Missing Low Stress Game modes,
Is unbelievably frustrating.
We could be having forge MONTHS before its estimated release time, but instead their dedicating man power to a Mode to attract Fortnite Sqeakers.
343i could have made amends, spend time rebuilding their relationships with the older Halo Fan base,
Put work into getting back to the MINIMUM standard Halo is regarded for.
They could have smashed out the Classics, put them in a nice tight well structured bundle with a ton of good well supported content. That gave everyone their favorite modes back, gave people their favorite guns back, gave them community features to play with and enjoy.
But their not,
And no amount of Dripfed content will ever make anyone happy.
You hate that some players choose to be an easier target?
Honestly aside from halo 3 hitboxes i don’t get the hate towards playable elites
After playing a couple of games today.
I want them to;
(Considering sbmm is across all playlists) make our visible rank not playlist specific but an overall rank on all game types and call it Skill level. Which goes up and down with whatever we play. Or some thing like that.
Then for the ranked playlists team slayer/team objective/FFA/Doubles/BTB I would like them to have a progression rank like Halo2/3 and radar and mixed aR/Br starts…
Then for HCS/MLG settings use the ranking system that we have now…
Then social loosen everything up for a bit of fun… but obviously not to much. Similar to MCC.
I would also like firefight/replayable level campaign/ the new game type from certain affinity and forge-custom browser.
I’m not too bothered about the shop and cosmetics but maybe we could give everybody racing green to start with and when they move up a career rank I would give them more basic colours and attachments.
Medals, stats and condiments all in game. With heat maps of games played and extras on the website. - not forgetting an overall leader board like we have on tracker tracker - I have brain fog.
An option to create a clan in game - which could correspond with career progression/overall skill/ranked progression and HCS division! - more freebies and great ways to make your clan individual.
An option to organise clan tournaments/scrims in game.
If we had the above I would have bought the steel book limited edition disc (even though I have a seriesS I would buy every season pass. And even even —- things from the store… especially if we could attach it to our clans.
But oh well. Screw 343!
I want playable grunts!
Bait post? Looks like it
