This isn't Halo

[Hink Hall]

Crouch spamming is rampant, whoever can crouch/strafe the fastest wins
Pistols always favored over other main rifles
Desync is wild
Gravity hammer range is insane
Load times are insane
Customization is stupid and paywalled
Fortnite lookin armor
etc.

There's always going to be differences from other games in the franchises. Other wise there'd really not be much of a point to make new games if they're just going to be extensions of older games. For old Halo, you got this too:

1. I've seen Crouch Spamming since Halo 2 honestly, nothing new to the franchise.

2. While I like the pistol. I do feel though that after the last update, weapons like the Bandit ( and of course Evo ) are significantly better in general use then the Pistol. The pistol is still useful enough if you need to fight back with something though at least, but not the best option IMO.

3. Lag's nothing new to Halo, Been dealing with it since Halo 2. It occasionally hits me like a truck on rare occasions and yeah, it sucks. But unless your playing multiplayer in a LAN, you're never going to get rid of it 100%.

4. Remember there are two special gravity hammer variants, and variants tend to be significantly better then the normal counter part.

Although on this I will admit, people seemingly have an issue with the Sword being good in the area it's suppose to be good at. I don't see any complaints about the Hammer, which is just as good, albeit maybe a little bit slower, and definitely more effective against multiple people where the sword is better towards individual targets, one at a time.

5. The only time load times are a problem for me seems like after big updates the loading time is super long. But after the first time fully loading, it's significantly shorter every time afterwards.

6. Live Services, that's not going away...

7. There's been weird armor in Halo since at least Halo 3 with the Hayabusa set. Not to mention there's plenty of people that like it, you're going to have to just suck it up and deal with it. It really isn't that big of a deal IMO.

Dude, go outside. Nobody has time to answer 7 different points like this is a debate course or something. You like Halo Infinite, fine. A lot of us don't think it's that great, which is why barely anyone is even playing it.

Just for the record, I've been playing Halo since Halo CE on the original XBox as well. Me and my brother played it for hours at stations in stores before we ended up buying the console and Halo one itself. The days of playing online in Halo CE with XBox Connect, before Xbox live was a thing.

Hell, even when this video originally aired:

Crouching and strafing has always been a main part of Halo.
Pistol being a strong weapon has always been a thing except in Halo 2 and maybe 3 unless you were good with aiming.
Desync is a thing in every multiplayer game in some capacity, it could also be your internet or the server you're playing on. Remember how bad Halo 3's hit reg was?
Gravity hammer is a power weapon so its meant to be strong. Personally I thought it was too weak in the older games so seeing it buffed makes me happy.
Yeah load times are ♥♥♥♥ lmao
I kinda agree about the customization I hate seeing it monetized but this is also a free game so i can't be surprised. Halo has always had goofy armor but there's still a lot of good armor too just dont wear the ugly armor.

Biggest issue with the customization right now is how so many of the reach armor coatings are paywalled and few are in events and the bps

I threw $10 at the reach battle pass quicker then i bought halo 3 i had no issue decking myself out with the reach crew for $10 considering i knew they were gonna add millions of paywall armor for probably more reach armor is 1000% better then anything they've added

I just stick with the dark green armor coating so I haven't been paying attention to any others

again armor aint the problem im talking about coatings like paint for the armor

[Silverlight]

No it isn't really. But none of the 343 games / books or movies have been.

Their halo has a completely different tone. More corporate.

Halo 1-3 , the first 5 or 6 books and Halo Wars just hit different.

It's a franchise in its own right.

I think 343 studied reach and odst more closely than the main games while making halo 4 and 5
