      Updates for infinite are great and all, but I wish they would flesh out MCC the rest of the way so that I can play EVERY halo with my friends over cross platform... All we have is halo 3 and halo 3 ODST, and we would like to play more than just those 2...

      So, love the video. Great Content as always. I have something to pick on though in this video. As you stated, Halo: Infinite and the other 343 era titles weapons other then the precision weapons having a headshot multiplier is one of the few things that actually makes sense. Speaking from a personal opinion but having all ballistic weapons having the multiplier is both accurate, and proper within the Halo Universe and real life weapons. I can understand that it makes the game feel more competition based and that's not really what Halo was supposed to be at it's core, but the weapons like the MA40, the Bandit fire the exact same round. It's just a piece of irl capability that I enjoy within Halo and it makes the weapons feel different, yet similar at the same. Just my personal thoughts on that topic. Love the content and continue doing the Floods work lol.

    I get that Halo fans have been asking for the Ghosts of Onyx MA5K for ages but since the update is called 'Great Journey' and is basically a Halo 2 20th Anniversary, why did they not add a weapon that's actually from HALO 2 (SMG, Brute Shot, Plasma Rifle, Covenant Carbine, Fuel Rod Gun, Beam Rifle)?

    • @jonny45k44
      @jonny45k44 17 днів тому +223

      From what I can find. It seems they are only adding weapons they can re-use animations from other weapons. In this case, the new weapon uses the ARs animations.

      343i would do anything to differentiate their time with Halo from Bungie's. Even if it is functionally identical to the SMG (it is) you know damn well they're gonna make sure it looks nothing like the SMG. That plus this was almost certainly a piece of content planned from ages ago that just happened to line up with this update. From the most reputable leaks it seems everything past a certain point in Halo Infinite's life cycle was just work that was already contracted to outside partners with no real new content getting green lit for the game.

      Isn’t a justification to not actually add new weapons. Not with a franchise this big at least.
      At this rate we’ll never get a halo again because they’ll spend 400 million to make it and then drop it the second it doesn’t make a billion profit in one year and move on to the next halo cash grab.

    It sucks because I loved this game at launch. I was one of the few to test the game's very first build and the grappleshot alone was enough to make it so much fun. When it released me and my friends had too much fun in BTB. It's a shame it got so underutilized, especially the campaign. As fond as my memories were of this game, I think they need to actually add something like playable elites to bring me and many others back. Or just take it behind the barn.

      Makes so much sense why it’s a struggle to finish kills this time around, so hard to get a headshot when everybody strafes like they’re on crack. Even halo 4 & 5 had strafe inertia, they just only cared making infinite the sweatiest game possible with all the changes they made

    • @Chrisspru
      @Chrisspru 17 днів тому

      classic halo has a player acceleration if 9.6 (halo 2&3). CE had 9.75.
      halo infinite has one at 12. thats the cause of jittery movement.
      setting acceratiin to 80% in custom games results in the classic strafe of halo 3 at 9.6.
      i prefer a 90% setting, 10.8 acceleration.
      its a great middle point.
      also, setting speed to 90% gives classic halo player speed (2.25 world units (10 ft) a second).
      at that setting, the current sprint speed bonus of 10% is just halo 3 mlg speed. which works great at classic scales.

      Hey,
      I had a injury on my hand after playing games (not video games), It had swollen and you know swellings usually hold for a time. I didn't want to walk around with a swollen hand so I prayed to God In Jesus name and asked my hand to be healed. My hand super healed! It healed super quickly and I even have pictures but even If that wouldn't be legit, which I think It Is: Another person had a injury around their eye, and their eye after continous prayer instantly got better!When my hand healed It healed very fast but not instantly. And I see my life heading In a direction as If God Is controlling It.
      And today I were alone In the darkness outside having to go through the forest alone, I am not scared of the forest and stuff that easily, considering It's a very small section of forest that Isn’t long to walk through, but I am scared for a reason...
      So I asked Jesus for help and when I called on Jesus I felt this sensation all over my body and I felt so safe! It Isn't some psyche affect, I felt such peace and calmnes. The Bible says: Whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. And It says: Cast all your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you. And when we do a peace of God, that trancends all understanding will guard our hearts and minds In Jesus Christ. And I walked through the forest, It felt so nice!
      If you declare with your mouth Jesus Is Lord, and believe In your heart God hath raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. Amen.

      No, 343i or Halo Studios or whatever they want to call themselves owes _us_ an apology. Halo 5 was terrible, and still it was in a better state at its launch than Infinite was. All the cosmetics in 5 are earnable through gameplay, even if it's from a stupid loot box system that was designed to frustrate and sap money from you. That's how bad Infinite is, it makes Halo 5 look good. Except for art style, which Infinite stomps all over 5's face with the more classic Halo looks. And the expanded Forge, but what fun is it when most people are gone and not using or playing it?

      Halo 5 jumped on the Enhanced Mobility trend.

    As a Halo fan, Halo Studios is trying to do the same thing like last time (343) I say this is because we've been through this insane cycle with them since release. New season update, new gear in store, new modes, new themed event, and a kit ( if there is one like now) that'll cost us 20 bucks. It's the same shit, but it's mask with the Halo 2 name slapped onto it to reel us in along with The Ghosts Of Onyx Rifle, $20 Classic MK 6 kit, 3rd Person Mode, and a Spartan/Elite Gear in the exchange. Theme? Probably Elite Themed. Infinite is still suffering in my opinion.

      It's because of Warzone in Halo 5: the sandbox itself was monetized through the REQ system. They added new guns for the sake of sales.
      The only monetized source in Infinite is the armor and FX, so that's all they've been working on. Was that a good idea? God no. But it's what they did.

      @@9000Dogs I mean even then, the unlock system in 5 is objectively better than infinite. You still could unlock everything just through playing and you never had to really “buy” anything. Yeah it could take a bit, roughly 7-10 games depending on your skill level. But it was so SO much better than having to pay $15+ for shit in infinite.
      And Warzone is what BTB 2.0 should have been. We have BTB 1.5 if you could even call it that
      Halo 5 wasn’t perfect but when you take a step back(which is what I’ve been trying to get everyone to do) and look at the sheer amount of FREE content and updates we had then you look at infinite, you’ll see how bad the community blundered that game. The campaign was shit I get it and the req system wasn’t ideal. But I’d take being able to unlock a REQ pack every few games over FOMO and spending a shit Ton of money on a broken contentless game any day.

    I'm sorry, I try to be positive but I just can't with this. Like the stuff they added is neat and all but it's nowhere near enough to redeem this game. When you break it down, they added one new gun, a toggle for a third-person mode, and a playlist that disables modern Halo features. And then the rest is more battle pass and content shop stuff. It's far too little far too late plus a bunch of the same ol stuff people have been complaining about since launch.
    This doesn't give me any hope for the future of this game. At best, it's an alright fluke on the content release timeline of this game. I want to be hopeful for Halo's future but I really don't think any of that hope lies with Infinite.

If the next halo is half a dozen years away then priority number 1 should have been maintain infinite. Sadly after seasons stopped they lost probably half the player base. I haven’t played since & the queue times are looking terribly long. But losing half the player base of an already dwindling number of ppl.

It is really just a touched-up AR model that has a faster fire rate and more bullets in its magazine. The M7 SMG would've made more sense for the Halo 2 update but they would've had to make a totally unique model and animations. Also the leaked brute shotgun and Falcon that have been in the files for months when are they gonna get around to implementing those, most likely because they actually require more effort to implement.

    For Halo 7 to succeed it needs:
    -Playable Elites
    -Progression and Armor customization akin to Reach
    -Campaign with a substantial story and replay value
    -Slayer, Team Slayer, Swat, Infection, BTB, Invasion, and BTB Heavies all on launch
    -Forge
    -Custom Games playlist
    -Ranked
    -Consistent updates of new weapons, armor, and PvE content
    -Firefight
    -Minimal changes to movement from Halo 3/Reach. (Sprint cannot be a thing unless it’s an armor ability with downsides like slow sprint to fire speed)

    I remember mod tools letting us play in 3rd person, I did a whole playthrough it was very cool. RIP campaign team.
