How bad is halo: infinite actually?

[Wiyry]

Lets run down the game as it is now from where I'm at:

1. Shortened battlepass that is way less grindy than comparable games (note: other modern AAA games; not other halo's). Couple this with the ability to buy any previous battlepass and every previous event pass and you get a really solid feeling game with little to no FOMO.

2. Solid gameplay. The core of halo infinite is the gameplay and it is phenomenal! everything just clicks and it feels like a good mix of new and old.

3. Forge is genuinely incredible. There is literally nothing I could possibly say besides wow. It far surpasses every other halo forge by a country mile.

4. Skill based matchmaking. This is one of two issues I still have with the game. It needs to go.

5. Challenge based XP system. I've been noticing this trend in modern gaming and I hate it. Just make it so we earn XP from playing the match and getting kills. It really isn't that hard is it.

In summary: halo infinite is genuinely great right now. I am excited to see how 343 handles this game in the future.

You know, you can just write a review. There's clearly no conversation to be had.

Instead previous games made you pay for online access, maps+playlist access, and also fileshare

2. The gameplay is basically CoD since Halo 4 so 343i has failed there.

ah yes basically cod, which is why you gotta tune your loadouts, stay on top of those killstreaks, and you die in 3 hits

jfc if Infinite is "basically CoD" then so is every other halo game

3. Forge took them how long to add to the game after launch when every other game launched with it.

forge in the previous games, aside from Halo 5 Forge, was extremely barebones. While it's unfortunate that it came out late, it's at least understandable given how powerful it is

5. This has been a thing for a while from 343i because the only way they can keep the little kids grinding their game is ti give them pointless challenges to chase.

Same fanbase that adores the vidmaster challenges and Reach's abysmal grind, lmao

this isn't the issue the game is arbitrarily trying to keep you at a 50% win loss rate. basically you're fate of winning or losing the game is decided before you even load into the map. you've been doing well and are on a win streak? time for you to get assigned 3 teammates who are playing with their feet and blindfolded. never have i ever felt like i have less control in an fps than with halo infinite mm it just feels so rigged.

I don't know because it takes so long to just load the game!!

i can understand why people don't like sbmm but at the same time i can't, obviously they just wanna ♥♥♥♥ on worse players to feel like they're good at the game, and the same time they get put against people who are actually good and they don't like getting ♥♥♥♥ on

Except that claim still has yet to pass any actual statistical analysis tests. And is still ONLY claimed by a singular youtuber who's never printed hello world in his life. It doesn't happen and its easy to prove wrong given that almost no one has a 50% win loss rate.

It's more like I just wanna take the game casually. The issue is that halo infinite's SBMM focuses on keeping you at a 50% win rate which makes the game a pain to play. Also, your SBMM rank never goes down: it only goes up. So eventually, you just can't have fun anymore.

right, you wanna take the game "casual" by ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on worse players but at the same time cry when it happens to you, same logic with the cod players, if the sbmm never goes down then yes thats a problem

SBMM seems like it doesn't even work i ♥♥♥♥ on every lobby i touch outside of ranked skill issue i guess

I have fun playing it honestly. I do only really play in short bursts though, unlike other games. You burn out quickly in the multiplayer in this game.

It doesn't go down, that's my issue. I wouldn't mind it if it did
