Multiplayer Thoughts?

I wanted to know how this multiplayer holds up against the rest? Any good, or trash?
Ctrl+C - Ctrl+V or what?

I gave up on trying to play, que times are sky high and when you do get a match you're in a lobby with horrible ping with coms closed off besides pings...then theres the issue where you will be issued a ban due to getting stuck in the que lobby while the game is ongoing... my personal opinion though is try and see if you can actually enjoy it just giving you a heads up of the major nuisances I encountered

very fun but the multiplayer playerbase is so damn low that you run into the same tryhards playing with their tryhard premade groups over and over and over and over again

Infinite's multiplayer is great gameplay-wise IMO and It's honestly my favourite in the series but what drags it down is the low playerbase and skill-based matchmaking, especially in some modes where it really shouldnt be there.

Those two together basically allow for you to get steamrolled by premade groups while your team has genuinely terrible teammates. It's one of the reasons why I mainly play firefight nowadays and only occasionally play the new gamemode released every month or so

The multiplayer has really good gameplay, and most of the modes are pretty enjoyable. I'd say the biggest issue with it is the sbmm being extremely strict at all times. e.i. if you play several pve matches and then load into a pvp match you will be matched against people who very sweaty. there are some queue time issues with lower populated playlists like doubles or ffa, but things like btb and regular 4v4 modes will have faster queue times. I think its definitely a mp you should check out, 343i/halo studios really cooked with the gameplay and most of the maps are really good. I would stay away from ranked though unless you wanna sweat your balls off

What would be very helpful is to have a maximum latency setting that users can toggle. I stay in a country where the best possible latency is 180ms which is still playable but 280ms is a nightmare. Accuracy drops by 50% on average and kill delays are well into the next magazine. Where can one make a suggestion to 343 to have an user set maximum accepted latency?

Good Luck. They are not known for listening to users advice, complaints or feedback.

It's funny that you guys call it a good game while citing the low playerbase as an issue. The game is the reason it has a low playerbase, and this is due to it being bad.

You can tell who's going to lose in under 30 seconds most of the time, which makes all the waiting around feel even more pointless. I don't know if that's because of the low player count or the SBMM or whatever the hell, but all in all it hasn't really been worth it.

It's a shame because it really shines when everyone is a team player.

They killed it by releasing it too early and with no content. Player base never recovered even when the game became quite decent.

Its more the fact that when the game launched it was bad, and thats when the majority of people would of played the mp, since it was new. Most of them left because it was bad, and the playerbase never really recovered despite 343 putting a lot of effort into adding the missing content. So yes, the game was the reason it had a low playerbase in the beginning, but its not a bad game anymore. I would say its one of the better Halo multiplayers now that they've added back a lot of the missing content.

Thank you everybody. I appreciate all of the feedback, unfortunately Low Player Base has scarred me since XDefiant and 2042. Que times are the bane of my existence. Im probably going to stick with my current go-tos. Siege, PS2, OW2 & Hell Let Loose. never a que time issue for me there.
