Halo Infinite doesn't deserve this much hate.

[ThaDominator4]

Yes, I know: I'm gonna get so much hate for saying this but please here me out.

1) People saying, "Let the game die." I honestly get where they're coming from but Halo Infinite's multiplayer is awesome! Sure, the Fortnite cosmetics are ridiculous and so cringy, but the rest is great! Grappling is so fun! The maps are cool! Halo Infinite needs more players to keep it alive.

2) It's not Halo 3. Yes, of course it's not! Nothing ever will be, but Halo Infinite doesn't deserve to get bashed for not being Halo 3. It's like hating someone because they aren't as good as someone else.

3) 343 Industries tries their best. It takes years to make a game and if I made a game in 6 years I wouldn't want people to hate on it. The people who make games have lives too. Do they need the money? Yes! Micro-transactions are irritating but you can stick to your current cosmetics and earn some more.

So, in conclusion: Halo Infinite is not bad at all! (This is MY opinion and you don't have to agree!) People say, "343 hates us." Do they? or do you hate them?

Sure it does. I have been playing Halo ever since Halo Combat Evolved was released. The problem IMHO 343/Halo Studios failed to keep the original game basics in the game. That's
a fact. Here are some examples just to name a few:

1. No map rotation in custom game like previous halo games.
2. Forge sucks for PC user's. Grabbing objects sucks. Halo MCC Forge is 1000% better than Halo Infinite forge.
3. Team colors Flags are not correct. The red team should have a red flag. Blue team should have a Blue Flag.

there are alot more.

[kriswrum]

In pc there is not aimassist. Crossplay left.

[Fax_the_Sender]

1. broken offline features (customs, lan etc require internet)
2. forge requires internet
3. campaign dlc cancelled
4. numerous unfixed bugs, gliitches
5. free2play mp just so they could sell garbage skins

those are my top grrrrrs

[I'm the walrus]

Nah, game sucks

You can look at the playerbase , its a good reflection of the quality of the game

[I'm the walrus]

Even the campaign was mid.
Halo infinite is the Best Mid AAA game ever made

[Himothy]

if you have to explain why a game doesn't deserve hate then it must have a reason for the hate. This game was a fail from the start and even the year delay didn't even save it. It came out as the most hallow game to ever grace the halo franchise and is the nail in the coffin for me not recognizing 343 (halo studios) as cannon halo anymore.

No coop
no forge
no multiplayer
no theater
no file share
no split-screen

what was on time though was all the special month people skins

The list goes on and it's the reason why halo fell off.

[Houdinis Magic]

well, lets look a bit closer, player base has taken a nose dive. Unless you play ranked, you're stuck with one of the worst AR's or the garbage version of the bandit. There is really nothing else I need to add that hasn't already been said.

I played the campaign through gamepass and honestly enjoyed it a lot. Got more hate than it deserves. The Marine AI was trash, and there were no Silent Cartographers, but it was still decent.

For me multiplayer is where most of the problem lies, it's almost nothing but a race to who gets the noobtubes first. There should be more game modes strictly without noobtubing, it should be easier to fight some vehicles, etc..

And besides some crashes during multiplayer, my experience with the game in terms of stability was good. One thing I would like to point out, though, is that for a game that was going to focus on being a competitive FPS, the hardware requirements were very steep. Other games like Valorant and CSGO you would have 200 fps in a entry level machine, in this one you would be lucky to have 40fps, even now I play at 120fps with some dips, which is half my monitor's refresh rate.

Halo Infinite deserves its hate because:

1) 343i has no clue about Halo
2) 343i monetizes the IP (Halo TV Show, Fornite skins, Reach Battle Pass)
3) 343i adds fanservice into the lore (Reviving Noble 6)
4) 343i ruined the Halo lore the moment they made Halo 4 and beyond
5) 343i further ruined the Halo lore with the Halo TV Show
6) 343i pushed real life political agendas that nobody wanted
7) 343i lied to their fanbase (Adding splitscreen co-op)
8) 343i hates Halo and its fanbase

From your comment you seem young. Like really young, maybe 19 years? Most of us OG Halo fans are in our late 20's and others way beyond that age group. We do not mind microtransactions. Heck, I spend atleast $50 on microtransactions in other games per month. Why? Because those other games are better. Halo Infinite is not. Halo Infinite is made by a company, no a corrupt corporation that hates what they're being paid to do.

So the question is, why do you enjoy defending these developers that hate you and the game?

Heresy! The Prophets say in all their divine wisdom that 343i is actually doing the righteous thing by maintaining the Halo franchise under their supreme authority, and anyone who dares question their divine decisions are just willfully blind unbelievers who probably side with that green menace that is the Demon.

When they light the sacred rings franchise, we will all surely ascend into godhood!

I am pretty young, Halo 4 was my first and my favorite Halo. In answer to your question at the end: it is because I am really soft irl and I don't feel right bashing people because their game doesn't live up to other games' standards.

You should be hired by 343i. Your comment sums up their understanding of the Halo lore, which is none. The Prophets died during Halo 2-3. Not sure if 343i decided to add another in due to desperation and bad writing but there has only been 3 Prophets in power of the Covenant.

I guessed as much that Halo 4 is your first Halo. 343i's goal was to completely erase Bungie's Halo from the minds of young gamers that were coming from Fortnite and Call of Duty. Fortunately they failed in doing so.

We OG Halo fans aren't bashing anyone. We're not the ones to blame for Halo Infinite's downfall. Many of us gave 343i a chance, especially during the release of Halo 4 on the Xbox 360 in 2012. To give a short overview, the story did not live up to our expectations and the expectations within the Halo lore. It is a completely different Halo.

Bungie's Halo focused on comradery, sacrifice, courage and heroism. 343i's Halo is overdramatic and celebrates the chaotic nature of first person shooter games. To elaborate, Bungie's Halo had a background aside from all the green space man shooting stuff.

In Combat Evolved, Chief was stranded on Installation 04 and rallies Marines.
In Halo 2, Chief single handedly (aside from bombers) blew up a Covenant battlecruiser.
In Halo 3, Chief finishes the fight alongside the Sangheili.
In Halo 4, "Don't make a girl a promise, when you know you can't keep it" simulator, Lasky gets yelled at for no reason, Palmer does a cringe dialogue "Thought you'd be taller" at humanity's savior.

Those are the few examples I can give in comparison to 343i's Halo. I can type lots but why not watch some of The Act Man's videos? His Halo videos basically speaks for us OG Halo fans. He's not very aggressive when he's comparing between Bungie and 343i's Halo.

One thing I wanna make clear though. 343i has never cared about the Halo franchise. Their goal is not updating or giving content, their goal is to sell content. An exmaple would be the Yoroi Armor costed money but 343i made it free at the last minute. And then of course, the Halo TV Show which is a completely disgrace to us Halo fans.

I have played this mp more than any other game in the last 3 years. I still enjoy it, and find it fun, challenging, and interesting.

I liked the campaign and feel it could have been expanded with new biomes and introduction/reintroduction of odst and spartan elements. Maybe a contingent of the covenant show up, maybe the flood show up behind them, maybe forerunners begin to move, maybe the "endless" are the superflood?

Lots of potential, wasted.

[KairanShadow]

Because so many people especially the most vocal anti "343" halo people just want the franchise to vanish, like you have to lie about easily verifiable lies like reviving noble 6, it's pretty obvious all the "343 hates halo" are projecting and wanting to troll

[UNITED STATES PATRIOT]

I don't care much for 343 for screwing up Halo Infinite for us PC users.

Example: Forge sucks, no way to rotate maps, can't carry flag in any vehicle like we could in pass Halo games.
