I cannot fathom (other than money and laziness) why Infinite is not up to par performance wise with the MCC. . . 343 has been working on Infinite for nearly as long as the MCC has been around.
We did not need a new sandbox or engine, we did not need a battle pass, we do not NEED cat ears 343! (which are cool but still, we don’t “need” them)
WE NEED A GAME THAT IS “HALO” and is comparable to the other HALOs that we love…
Stop trying to make the game for people that don’t even play Halo!!!
We NEED consistent gameplay, We NEED rewards/experience for time spent and performance done, We NEED HALO back. . .
You know why OREOs don’t “change” their recipe? . . Because they wouldn’t be OREOS anymore, DUH!
Get back to the basics please 343, Maybe you should hire executives that actually KNOW the GAME! ! !

much like how half the campaign’s dialogue is repeating lines from earlier games, it’s easier to build on the foundations of those who came before

MCC has had 5+ years of refinement since it’s release so comparing the two isn’t going to work. When it first dropped it was worse than Infinite is now, so give it time.

MCC was an almost complete trash fire when it released, disconnects in multiplayer, drop outs and freezing during co-op.
Many years of work later and people now hold the MCC as the pinicle of Halo and forget the issues it had/has, much lile they do everytime a new halo game is released, tje new one is slagged off while the previous one is “teh greatest game eva”.
Things change, they have to otjerwise people complain that its just “the same game with shinier graphics” , but then moan if even slight innovation is tried (armour abilities in H3 broke tje game according to many vocal people on Bungie.net, yet now it was ine of the best aspects people harp on about)
In conclusion (I know, I ramble) MCC took time to improve, Infinite will be the same, not an excuse coz it should be better, but thats how the cycle goes with Halo.

So where was the lesson learned? How could you be in that position with fans raved and then turn around and drop another steamer of a launch? Whether they fix it or not is irrelevant. Companies shouldn’t be able to keep getting away with pushing out poorly thrown together goulash.

That’s exactly what I asked too. Like I thought all the things they put into MCC was essentially a test bed for features to be implemented into Infinite. Well, we can tell that was not the case now, as many of the quality of life issues Infinite has works perfectly fine in MCC. Like the bp and challenges for one, not even gonna mention how much better customization is in MCC, too much of a low blow.
bro infinite is more halo than 5 and 4

yep 100%.
its terrible.
you need a grapple hook to beat every miniboss or tough foe and boss
even though u can’t swing on anything you anchor to from, the ground, wood, steel plates, grunts, jackals nor even vehicles or Forerunner constructs. The anchor would always break loose. Its Not a Question of Scifi physics like PLASMA or Teleporting, or Human Augmentation… its aweful
and they made you dependant on it
BUT
yet
sometimes you must hold the button, sometimes you can’t hold the button, and sometimes it doesn’t matter what you do, it retracts and screws you hard.
that kind of decision making defines the $.5billion spent making this game.
BUT Why Do you Think We Need REWARDS!!!
another problem with the Grapple interface is that it impedes the capacity to use Any Button as a TOGGLE Key for Any or All Other Button’ Functions. Limiting game mechanics and interface options.
does it click? hold? is it reliable? does it make sense? should it EVER be necessary to do any combat?
repulser was good…
why doesn’t Repulse Negate SWORDS or HAMMERS*?
4 and 5 were both better. their pvp was viable, Sleepmaster5646. but i’d be patient, if the grapple hook didn’t set me off 9 months ago when they previewed that heresy: I can’t believe there is no drop kick, spartan charge(hated, but eagerly expected refined…) nor amphibian Campaign warthogs… for a RELIC pvp MAP remake…
that grapple hook could never work in any circumstance. but you are dependent on it for the terrible gameplay and game design of INFINITE. **Repulser, would have adequately sufficed as a Exclusive alternative to it for campaign. **
bro you can swing iwth grapple hook
most people love the grapple hook and it was a major part of the games hype so your opinion is invalid
ohh hoo hoo. I don’t think so.
and the word here is, think.
it has nothing to do with impressions.
- How can you grapple off dirt?: OH YOU CANT.
- How can you grapple off a steal structure that the anchor can penetrate? If you can shoot through it, 7.8 tons swinging on it will break free; YOU CANT.
- a Rock?: CAN’T; chip, shatter. You won’t swing.
- Jackal?: CAN’T.
- Vehicle Armour?: Steal Deal*.
- Forerunner material: “Virtually indestructible”; can’t penetrate with a whip, and then secure a reliabble anchor / BREAKS FREE.
As narrative goes it was dog water.
As Game Play Experience
You can’t beat any Brutes without it.
and where did they get bullet immunity? the Two Were used to Justify one another and it was terrible.
and why are they bald and not Halo 4 Brutes… or even halo 2 brutes… sheeze.
its a device that can’t work
that you can tactically grab Explosives with
but can miraculously penetrant anything to anchor.
Its not cool, its not HALO
and anyone who complained about SPIRINT or SPARTAN CHARGE and has no issues with this…
We don’t even have a bubble shield equipment
and SPARTAN CHARGE was Fine and just needed Rebalance.
THESE SUITS DON’t EVEN HAVE HALO 5 BOOSTERS Anymore!?!
what do you mean people like it?
You are playing a game with No CARBINE nor BEAMRIFLE , No Needle Rifle (fav*), No Storm Rifle… and you think that thing will be COOL if we had them?
NO. Its all you see.
and in every context its crapola.
you are delusional.
escaping combat by Anchoring in cement? HAH. Dirt!? HAH
come off it. if your enjoying swinging so much, Go PLAy COD Blackops 2008
the People who change their COD CD’s to get more map content, would love to rip you up.

thats the funny part about Games. People CHANGE CD’s.
its not :NEW NEW NEW, always keeping pace. ITS, “MORE MORE MORE” and
the dimwits play the same new maps over and over.
if u tried to Retract any amount of weight off an Anchor,
it would DRAG across the ground to the vertical point and slide up the wall.
NOT GO AIRBOUNRE.
Grapples are Beyond Stupid and heresy
it changed HALO into something that makes you wonder if you are supposed to buy the Campaign a second time to get the REAL COMAPAIGN…
you should want them to fix this.
not promote it.
you commend dogwater, that’s all you’ll get.
it wasn’t Game Hype: It was NIGHTMARE.
Came to share essentially this. Infinite is MILES ahead at its launch compared to what MCC was at its launch.
Yes, there is room for growth and change in Infinite. However, comparing it to MCC in its current state now is not a good comparison.

My point was/is that Infinite should not have released with less content than the MCC currently has. . . They could have used the MCC platform for Infinite MP and spent a lot more time refining the game itself. . . I’m not saying MCC was great on release but like others have said, Has 343 not learned anything?

John needs a grapplehook to fight an armoured Brute.
that’s good to you?
or to get near enemy troops.
or to reach cover.
or to hijack a vehicle.
or to survive most conflicts.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the second installation of INFINITE when it comes out.
Oh wait. no I wouldn’t.
but that game’s highlights are going to be its nothing like the first installation… and that’s not a concrete fate yet.
so pick a team. HALO fans or OVERWATCH fans.

100% Guarantee. The gameplay was fun, don’t get me wrong, but it got boring. Basically just a really long version of the second mission in Halo CE with a bit of extras. I’m finishing the campaign thanks to my sweet $1 Xbox Game Pass deal (Thank goodness I didn’t pay full price) then hopping back into MCC. I might even give 5 a whirl, I never played it, but folks seem to think it beats out Infinite.
I don’t know how much longer the campaign is, I’m on Escharum and he’s got a million and a half HP for some reason, and has a lunge/insta-kill once you get his last shield down, but after that, I’ll see you all in two years when some of the nonsense is fixed!
