Why do people hate this game

[Eshtian]

To set the conversation, I'm coming into the game relatively recently, and I'm genuinely confused.

The gun count sits at 21 compared to Halos original 10, which is still a solid sandbox. Are there holes missing? Is there too many repeats?

I see the cry for new content, what's missing there as well?

I see some people complaining about store prices, but why would you even want to buy store items?

What's the issue?

honestly i don't like some of the new guns that were added and would like the classic ones back i.e bulldog<m90 pump, mangler <mauler cinder shot<(i always thought it was the successor to the fuel rod some say brute shot but i can see arguments for both). while when halo 5 came out a lot of the sandbox weapons were redundant either sharing the same space as another weapon just with a different fire rate, I've grown to miss them after having infinite for 3+ years. as for the items it just rubbed me the wrong way seeing armor that we've unlocked for years costing $20 in the shop the one that hurt the most was hazop which is the one of the first armor you unlock in reach. but this is not me saying i hate the game it still feel like halo game play wise more so the 4/5 did which honestly makes me wish they refine the game play from this game going into halo 7.

Because the matchmaking is bad and 343 thinks it's brilliant because they force Microsoft True skill algo. More like True crap.

The last time some one said this they ended up meaning no skbm. Though tbf ideally matchmaking should be player based, not game based, like one of the older Halo games.

Maybe because i have a high - end PC and it takes like 6 min to open the game....

Design processes aren't the actual design. you're just using this as an opportunity to ♥♥♥♥ on infinite. Not actually answering the question.

they changed the guns and then nuked the armor customization on top of being a sweat fest in quick play dude to matchmaking forgetting the OG game of halo was made for fun not comp play and not touching on the lies and the fact they tried to steal money off us with bad prices in the store...... do I need to keep going......

the good parts are that it looks ok and that it has an ok play loop but thats it thats all it has going for it other than forge in my eyes

Matchmaking is the worst it has ever been. That's why people hate this game.

It's been like this since Reach, but PvP games as whole has seen an increased in disparaging skill gaps, you would think with Call of Duty's 500k+ cross play with 2 other consoles it would be miles better but it's the most egregious with it

I hate this game because it has so many bugs that it wont even let you sign into your microsoft account using a keyboard, it doesnt recognize it at all. Garbage.

Too vague to mean anything

I'm not going to say this isn't important, but when the art design of the base suits look good anyways, this isn't close to a make or break.

I agree that the original, player based matchmaking was better, but sbmm is not a bad matchmaking system. if you're sweating, that's on you for thinking you have to sweat just because the match is close. Not to mention you choosing to sweat only further makes it an issue by increasing your comparable score rather than just taking an L and lowering.

Yes. I'm not convinced.

Now I don't have that issue. But if you are than that's fair enough.

i reinstalled the game even, and its still not recognizing my keyboard when inside of the xbox sign in box while the game is up, but im able to press the windows key and type outside of the game anywhere. What an odd thing to happen?

REF: Custom Games! Would have been nice to be able to rotate our maps like we could have been able to do in Halo Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3 Halo CE, Reach and Halo MCC ETC ETC
