Here are some problems with Infinite’s theatre mode that weren’t a problem for 3, ODST, Reach, 4, and 2 Anniversary:
- The recording automatically focuses on a player other than the one who recorded it.
- There is no option to hide the theatre HUD and show only the in-game HUD; at most, you can have the in-game HUD with an ugly black control guide in the top right corner. This makes it impossible to use a theatre recording to show your actual POV when you were playing the game.
- The controls are clunky and unintutive. In the aforementioned games it was easy to set up a good shot without even thinking about it due to the camera controls working like the Banshee flight controls. The current system in Infinite is just extremely awkward to use.
- Pre-initial spawn doesn’t appear properly in the theatre. In the aforementioned games, the theatre would show exactly what the player saw in the match before they spawned.
