Why is everybody a hologram?!?! And other issues

Games Halo Infinite

Wow, just wow. The map graphics great let’s start with that.

But the actual player coloring, hologram outline effect is utter garbage.

The entire feel is sensationalistic and so off compared to Halo 5.

Progress is actual regression on so many levels. IMO. 20yr Halo player here so I know WTF I’m talking about.

Weapon sounds are completely muddled and hardly discerning from each other.

Aiming and trying to find the opponent is way more difficult now. Clear red and blue in the past Is now this absurd and poorly done hologram effect. Movement around and near opponents and the other team is so strange and just off. I don’t get any chills like I’m getting shot or chased etc… the experience is just deadened entirely.

Not being able to select play lists?!?! Come on. Everybody is doing nothing but screwing around and don’t give two f$&ks about many games like CTF or skull whatever half of them are called. Never like them.

I play one game for 20yrs nearly entirely slayer ranked 4x4 seriously don’t care about any other type. Other players just love me on their team now. Maybe this is a beta thing?!? Hopefully that changes?

XP points never cared about, I know alot or upset about that.

But the actual player interaction, movement, graphics are a serious disappointment and dumpster fire.

Not spending a penny for the campaign since this is the direction the clueless 343 has implemented apparently.

Never after a few hours of playing a game have I been so disappointed in the Halo series.

Good luck with this 343. The most important part of the game has been stuffed up beyond belief. Having zero fun and literally shut off the console after a few hours of this. Tweaking every setting hasn’t helped it neither. Maybe I need to turn on accessibility settings to get back to Halo 5 and previous multiplayer experience. Why screw with something so badly that worked?!?!

Gheez…sorry rant over. Unreal.

Completely agree…we just have to be true to ourselves and realise 343 will never understand bungie halo.

It’s like someone drawing a picture and then someone trying to copy that picture, it will never be the same as the original designers are not there anymore.

343 were given a game which was perfect for so many and they tried to be clever with halo 4 and failed. Halo 5 was better and I enjoyed it but it still wasn’t the classic feel of halo 3.

Now this is just below parr again. It just feels off in so many ways. Gun balance, TTK, map design, loads of things are just off with this. Iv given up with 343 now, they just don’t understand halo like bungie did.

I played halo mcc halo 3 yesterday and was on it for 4 hours straight after playing this garbage and it was amazing. I had so much more fun with maps, different gun variation etc, a game which is 15 years old beating a game of 2021 is a pretty sad event.

I know why 343 made holograms a thing because they want everyone to be their own little snowflake, but its so jarring having all these different coloured players at the start of the game. It all stems from this gamepass and the fact they tied colours to it.

The fact in a Halo game we cant customise our armour colours is absurd, and if anyone says we still can, look at what we lost. Now a fix to the hologram effect, let the player customise 3 different spartan colours, 1 for Pregame lobby and free for all, and the other 2 are variable colour hues of red and blue, they did this in the past, it shouldnt be so hard now.

I know there are many other complaints, but this is probably one of the main ones I had immediately .

Just google this topic and from months ago during early testing this was a complaint. There is a Reddit thread about it with 6k likes and hundreds of comments about this stupid outline.

I know the feel and gameplay in general is also off, somewhat tolerable but still has this sensationalistic strange feel especially up close and trying to melee.

Unreal. Was all hyped about trying to find a new Xbox X series in the future and Halo was the main reason. Now just stuck with my Xbox One S or find some other games. I know people laugh at COD around here, but they generally haven’t hosed things up too bad… lol

It has gone casual, not being able to just choose Deathmatch is proof of that, I saw the same kind of push on Gears of war, were the main focus of the older games was highly competitive deathmatch they started to bury that in Gears 5 to the point Deathmatch was not even offered in Causal mode at all in the most recent update. Hope they offer it in Halo in the future.
