Never downvoted a Halo game in my life, and this is strictly for the Multiplayer portion. For the Campaign version, see the DLC.

This game was released before it was ready, the engine is a complete mess despite whatever 343 would say. Every new update breaks the game, and was possibly the whole reason for delays. Content cut to release the game early, with priority placed on store and ranked modes to pull in people who aren't into Halo. While people who have been into the Halo universe for 20 years are shunted to the curb without any consideration.

Just saying Halo Infinite is the worst Halo game in history pales into comparison to it's actual issues, most of which still going on months after release. Which I might add, they called a "beta" until campaign released, with absolutely NO changes!

1. No Progression System (Rewarded by completing challenges that are abhorrent to the actual gameplay! - No rewards for performance, forced to do challenges or BUY levels!)
2. 343 devs halved XP, then trippled it because of complains (Why halve it from 100 to 50 in the first place? Other than to give the middle finger to the players)
3. Predatory Microtransactions ($5-$20 for COLORS! Compensations were made to make prices less, only for them to turn around a few weeks later and raise the prices back up!)
4. Unmet promises (Before release, we were promised "Millions" of customization options, yet there isn't even a decent amount)
5. Most restricted customization system in the history of Halo, can't even pick individual colors which had been a staple since Halo Combat Evolved (Which was released 20 years ago!)
6. No Female Representation (Genders replaced by Body Types, that all look Non-Binary/Male! - With any attempts to be heard met with being silenced)
7. Lack of transparency from 343, despite being promised
8. Promised a FREE LIVE-SERVICE Video Game, which was proven false!
9. De-Sync & Memory Leak (Optimization/Stability) issues preventing gaming at all
10. Grenades seem lackluster, generic fire effects
11. Again, devs don't care and just leave you ignored while playing the victim card!
12. No Co-Op or Forge at launch!
13. Devs were warned during every Flight since the first, and in the year(s) that past did NOTHING about what the testers mentioned.
14. Customizations limited to armor cores, in nearly every previous Halo game you were able to min-max everything you wanted from sets.
15. Poor management from 343, micro-managing from Microsoft, absolutely no roadmap in months for Infinite
15. There is just too much to list, this game honestly feels like the next Cyberpunk 2077 and Anthem. For a comprehensive list of everything, just check the forums and see what others are saying.

All in all if you're a women expecting representation, like you had in Halo Reach, Halo 4, and Halo 5 then I suggest you either speak up or go play those games. As 343 refuse to listen with Halo Infinite! And will silence you, rather than listen.

As of 2/25/2022 there is NO incentive to play the Multiplayer. This game is dead on arrival, and would take a miracle to get it off the deathbed.

NO Performance-based Progression - November 24th, 2021
Still NO Performance-based Progression - January 7th, 2022
STILL NO Performance-based Progression - February 25th, 2022 (It's not even listed in the known-issues despite the multitude of complaints)


Final thoughts, it is plain to see that 343 shows no care for it's community, and outright gives them the middle finger when they gain a voice. Either by silencing them, or for example: Halving XP when complaining about Challenged-based system.

If you're a long time fan of Halo, I suggest buying the MCC and forgetting Infinite even exists (Except for the Campaign) until 343 actually starts to listen, which might never be! If you still choose to play, then SPEAK UP! Hold 343 accountable for their failed promises and utter lack of care for the community and failure to listen to US!
