I haven't been happy with 343 ever since they took the franchise. They are incompetent. They ignore all negative feedback. They admitted to hiring people who hate halo to form the core of the studio.... They have a Kathleen kennedy/Anita sarkessian in BONNIE ROSS WHO EMPHASIZES DIVERSITY HIRES! I TRULY HATE 343 FOR RUINING HALO . 343 ARE LYING SCUMBAGS. THEY NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE FRANCHISE. F THIS COMPANY
We shouldn’t even be having the discussion of “is it too late?”. It’s been too late. This company has repeatedly dropped the ball with every release and for some reason still has a fanbase finding someway to defend this company. Halo is dead. The franchise died when bungie/Marty left and most likely is never coming back.
Forget the update saving Halo. They should shelve the whole franchise at this point. I hope nothing but the worst for 343's future, truthfully. I want this studio to crash and burn, and for Halo to be buried so it's name isn't tarnished by the stink of it's stewards incompetency.
After the honeymoon phase and somewhere in the middle of season one, I was getting weird vibes. After beating the campaign, I have no desire to come back unless they add a fireteam or horde like mode.
I’m literally playing MCC right now lol that should be an indication on the state of Halo Infinite. We need another company to take the IP of Halo away from 343 sooner rather than later because at this rate halo as a brand will be long forgotten.
Instead of calling it halo infinite they should have called it halo bare minimum. They didn’t even include any of the animals other than birds and ground hogs in the campaign. Story mode could have been so good if there was more enemies, more varied environments and the grapple hook wasn’t so power you didn’t want to use any of the other equipment or use the vehicles. Also would have been nice to have split screen co op and online co op.
343i has had one of the biggest failures I have ever seen regarding a franchise. These guys have REPEATEDLY dropped the ball with the franchise. On Infinite alone, they have repeatedly, HABITUALLY dropped the ball. They have had chance after chance, and they keep letting the players down. It's unreal. Infinite had the foundation to be GREAT. The gameplay was enjoyable, it was a solid start; if they actually had a vision and some leadership that could get things done, this game could have been much more complete and would be delighting fans for years. Instead, this game is on life support. The franchise will probably have to go dormant for years AGAIN to recover from the damage. I don't know what the hell is going on in that studio, but the people in charge do not know how to deliver a Halo game. It's time to move 343i on to something else, something smaller, something they can realistically do because Halo isn't it. They have had YEARS to get it together; I have to imagine they have had a massive budget (If not, Microsoft is effin up, you give Halo whatever it needs to be significant). They need to give the franchise to another company and give them all the time they need to figure something out. They need to restructure the leadership at 343i and pay big money to get people who can deliver in place. The current leadership is shambles, they have proven time and time again they can't get it done. I've been an Xbox guy since day one. Had the OG Xbox at launch and have gotten one ever since. I loved Halo 1 and 2, but thankfully, I lost a lot of my interest after that. I still enjoy Halo, don't get me wrong, but its not my diehard favorite franchise, so Halo being messed up isn't a massive blow to me. However, I feel so sorry for people who live and breathe Halo; they are getting molested. Even I, a casual Halo fan, is bitterly disappointed in what 343i has done. This is unacceptable for a franchise that built the Xbox brand on its back. Something has to change; 343i has proven unequivocally they don't have the means to get the job done properly.

@@manz7860 I myself and many others that played it at launch feel like the gameplay felt particularly good. I know some Halo veterans disagree, Jeremey himself wasn't really feeling it that much, but as a more casual Halo fan these days, I really liked what they did, it felt a lot better than Halo 5 or 4 to me, hell I hadn't felt that much fun since maybe Halo 2 (again I lost some interest around Halo 3, not saying I didn't like the game I just stopped being very interested in Halo but I have played them all). Infintie felt good, it sounded good, I was rally happy with what I thought was just the base start. Since then, they have added so little. If it had that gameplay but launched with a more compelling/complete campaign, co-op, story, and quickly put out more updates and we were on like season 6 by now, I think it would be a totally different story for Halo. Fact is, these guys weren't ready. It took them several YEARS just to find a good gameplay balance but they still had little on top of that.
@@manz7860 I hear but I felt differently, I really liked it and I wasn't alone. That said, I know there are others that felt like you. I might feel differently if I was a big time Halo fan, I don't really play MCC or any of the old games anymore, just not interested. I did like Halo 5 for a bit but again lost interest, I certainly liked Infinties gameplay more than Halo 5's upon luach.
Based on the update video where they mentioned “player safety” and player reporting, my guess is they omitted a pre and post game lobby because they didn’t having a working reporting system. So hopefully whenever they add that, they will add those features too. We’ll see. Good level headed video.

In cold war one season was 2 months. In that season you got a 100 tier battle pass, 4 MP maps, one zombies map, outbrake map, 4 new weapons, new operators and bundles. That's as much content as Halo will receive in one year or more. And not to mention cod is a yearly thing.
Also not to mention campaign, split screen, all the MP modes at launch, and maps, and Treyarch was rushed with only two years of development, as apposed to 343 having 6 years and launching bare bones
It can definitely be saved. Like look where MCC started, it was buggy and broken at launch and now it working and considered to be one of the greatest remaster collections of all time.
As great as MCC is now, it took them *years and years* to get it to an acceptable/functional state. And as great as MCC is now, the game really is not very popular. It's not even in the top 200 on Steam or the top 50 on Xbox. I'd say that alone means the game wasn't even "saved."
Halo dead dead 😂. You called it wasaaaaaaaay back when it first launched. They will probably improve the game and get some people back on side with the road map and patches but the wider gaming community ain't nobody care about what Halo has to offer atm. But the first person shooter crowd and die hard fans will probably stay with it kinda like what we always laugh about with games like NBA 2K, EA Sports Madden, EA Sports FIFA etc 😂, that abusive relationship where people keep going back but they know nothing's gonna change in the bigger picture. Great coverage as always chief 👊🏿
Everyone should feel the same way about 343 industries, they have been messing up from the jump (dont get me started about the last halo 4 dlc they charged players with season pass) every game has had issues even mcc which was already established games! Unforgivable!
Bro I forgot about that, but you're totally right. They sold us a Halo 4 season pass saying it would get you access to all DLC content and then just said "fuck it" and charged us separately for it anyway... Bungie had the franchise for 9 years and put out 5 absolute bangers. Meanwhile, 343 is 0 for 4 on their releases. It's time for them to go.
Isn’t this Microsoft’s doing tho? They wanted halo to come out pretty sure they’re the ones that rushed 343 to push the game out when it clearly wasn’t ready
@@Ozzyozzysheesh I never seen any confirmation that MS forced them to release it. But that could be the case or 343 wasn't honest about what they had. 🤷🏾♂️
game has earned complete apathy long ago. personally I won't be excited until we get a new game heralded by new developers. next gen exclusive. even then the campaign side of halo has completely been butchered by 343. I wouldnt mind if the next halo game didn't even have a campaign. or at least not a narratively important one.
True. Every single 343 Halo campaign is a retcon of the last one. Halo 4 retconned the gameplay design and artstyle of Halo Reach through 3. Halo 5 retconned Halo 4. Halo Infinite retconned Halo 5. It's actually baffling how bad 343 is at making video games, especially when you consider that they're given a bigger budget than even Rockstar games...
It is man I have been playing halo since forever and I got no hope anymore mate. I want to be optimistic but 343 are just too slow at doing updates and constantly cancelling things like split screen (which pissed me off majorly because they promised it was gonna come and yeah I was waiting lol). MCC my only halo fix now and it's sad I wanted Infinite to succeed
Personally, I think what happened with Halo 5 is what we’re seeing with Halo Infinite, just to a more disastrous degree. Halo 5’s MP had a great core *(gameplay/map design/sound design/weapon variety/modes etc.),* but it didn’t hit its stride and receive the bulk of its great content until 2-3 years after launch. Halo 5 quite honestly has the best MP in the franchise *(objectively speaking)* but most people don’t care outside of the hardcore player base because it was too little too late. Halo Infinite will get better within the next 2-3 years, but by that point who will care outside of the hardcore Halo fan base?
@@maxxyian2yt243 I’d agree if those games weren’t outdated at a core level. I still believe that Halo CE/2/3 are the best Halos in the franchise, undisputed, *(Halo 2 being my personal favorite) but from a modern perspective they’re all far past their expiration dates.
I think the game can be as big a success as MCC has become, it'll take time and lots of righting the wrongs but the foundations that are there already are great. I wont be playing for a while but I know I will be coming back.
Kinda sucks because I do wanna get back into Halo been craving it recently and I found out my Xbox ain't switching on Bastard went dead on me which is ironic guess that's what I get for playing Playstation so long lol
2021 What a terrible year to be a gamer COD sucked Battlefield Sucked Halo Sucked ! are we living in a time where the standards in gaming get reduced ?
They probably cancelled co-op because then they would have to roll back the game to make it playable offline. Right now, 343 has fucked up MCC and Halo 5 by making them only playable with an internet connection. Fortunately for me, I have an Xbox One X that I put away a year-and-a-half ago with an older (better) version of MCC and Halo 5, that I could play offline, and WITHOUT heavy aim!!!
This roadmap isn’t the worst thing they could’ve put out, but it’s far from ideal. And after straight up lying about split screen co-op, I think it’s finally time for the leadership at 343 to go. They have no idea how to run a Halo game, much less a live service. They think Halo at its core is competitive, which is far from the truth as stated by ex-Bungie devs. There’s a chance that Forge (if it isn’t broken or delayed) can keep the game on life support since the community can make their own maps while we wait for S3. If they were smart, they’d take the best maps and put them into a rotational playlist as well. But unfortunately, they aren’t smart. While Bonnie Ross is at the helm, this series’ death is nothing but certain.
It's so unfortunate for die hard halo fans, I literally only play Halo and Fortnite with my friends. And by myself I grind Infinite cause I wanna get better. What sucks even more is that they actually nailed the gameplay this time around where as that was always an argument before, most people love the gameplay, but it's the rest of the game that is in disarray. 343 needs new leadership or the higher ups at Microsoft or whoever need to be changed to do things differently. They keep having to play catch up after each release its tiring. But like you said Jeremy I'm too die hard to leave it and if I ever wanna play on a team I have to grind it regardless.
I'm sticking around for infinite but I barely play it I wish I didn't buy the battlepass so I don't have to play it to get back my credits. I still feel like my social games are so sweaty to. I played with a friend who hasnt had much halo experience and the difference in the lobby is night and day when I play with that friend social is fun and feels social but if I play by myself my lobby are way to sweaty. Honesty the fact that playing solo is a sweatfest and lack of content is making me consider deleting the game
I feel what you saying on some of the topics BUT….imma say this…I think nostalgia be killing y’all experience with these new games….y’all gotta let that old shit go bro…..like seriously
Most studios in the industry aren't 343. Even indie dev teams can more content faster with less resources. And I don't think it's necessary Microsoft direct management that's the issue. It's the lack thereof is what people don't understand. Microsoft used to get hated on for meddling too much in game development. And now that they have a hands off approach, if the dev teams know what they're doing they're going to be fine but if the deaf teams don't know what they're doing, they have a bunch of issues. So it's a situation like if the coalition and Ninja Theory know what they're doing, they should be fine. But if a team like The initiative or 343i don't know what they're doing, it's probably going to stay like that because they don't interfere now.
But niggas are going to give them credit for whatever (less than stellar but better than halo) game that Bethesda comes up with. As if Bethesda or Activision for that matter wasn't already managing themselves lol.
My fellow Halosapiens, I believe the time has come to make a stand. We can no longer accept mediocrity. The only way Microsoft will pay any attention to the Halo IP and community is if we make a statement. We need to close our wallets. I’ve spent a lot of money on Xbox and halo. We need them to understand that we need change. We all want halo to succeed but something needs to be done. Let’s all come together and say no more! If you are still playing I’ll see you on the battlefield but the bank is closed until they’ve earned it back. Agree or disagree?
@@TheGamer2323 In good faith I believed they could deliver a live service so I supported it because it was a free game. After this last update it has left a awful taste in my mouth. I feel like a fool. Season 1 delayed because they wanted S2 to meet its high standard. Season 2 was heavily underwhelming… And here we are delayed for a 3rd time. 🤦🏽♂️
All I can hope is that this is such a disaster that Xbox close down 343 and give Halo to id Software or another developer lol. Joe Staten really deserved better than this shit. Worst development studio ever. 10 years and NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT.
Even if you never planned on playing the couch co op it was fucking promised so it's still absolute bullshit man. THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
I’m just wanting that campaign DLC, didn’t realise how literal they were when they said this game has a ten year plan, because it might finally be finished by then. Can we please start a petition to remove 343 as the developers of Halo, imagine if that gained some traction. Microsoft would have to notice
What happened to all the "game of the year" talk? Too much early projection and copium doomed this game. Should have just enjoyed it for what it was and not propped it up and there wouldnt have been such a precipitous fall. Now cats are counting on the community to save this supposed 10 year game.
Halo Infinite was a lazy poor attempt at trying to bring halo back from the dead 😂 i ain't saying halo is a thing in the past. They just ain't doing enough to make ppl want to care.
I love this game even though it lacks content which is extremely disappointing. I’ll still be playing it and looking forward to more content. The Internet a bunch of cry babies that makes everything seem 10x worse than it really is.
I don’t think rightful complaints of a game not having even 20% of the content a predecessor achieved a decade ago is just “Internet being cry babies.” Especially when that game had over 6 years of development time and even now a year of post launch. Yet still no forge, coop, infection, grief ball, or firefight.
I’ve been playing on Xbox primarily and I have never cared about halo or gears since the 360 era. I’ve always preferred the Xbox ecosystem, achievements, and controller. I kept a PS for the 🔥🔥 exclusive titles. That being said, HALO is DOA.
Halo Infinite ruined the Hydra. It went from my favorite gun in Halo 5, to nerfed trash in Halo infinite. Side note, losing couch co-op isn’t a big deal, this isn’t the 90s. Most people play online co-op, now if that was missing it would be a big issue.
Halo 4= decent campaign (Cortana/Chief narrative carried), garbage multiplayer. Halo 5= garbage campaign, decent multiplayer. Hardcore Halo 5 fans swear that it was the best multiplayer but the numbers of viewership and players online said otherwise. Halo Infinite= good campaign sandbox/gameplay; narratively it spends the entire time trying to undo the mess that was Halo 5 tho. Multiplayer gameplay and mechanics are good but everything else ranges from mid to garbage (mid maps, lack of meaningful updates, boring "events" for mid cosmetics, shop updates more than everything else and has the best cosmetics, long seasons because they clearly never intended this game to be a live service when beginning development, etc.) I blame heads of Xbox and 343i for everything. Someone has to step up and actually lead these developers to make a good game.
People have the right to be mad, but people also need to stop looking at only the present. Season 3 will be the start of ACTUAL 3 month seasons and an actual live service, season 3 is the “relaunch” of the game, seeing all the leaks shows ALOT is coming in the near future, also the Battle Royale is rumored to come late 2023 and will bring in a lot of new players. The future is bright for Infinite, short term pain for long term gain 👍🏼.
That's the issue overall, most people aren't going to wait another 6 months or whatever for the next season to come out for the game to actually be in a decent state, Ik I'm not I was willing to wait a full season so they can get their stuff together because live service multiplayer games usually launch fairly barebones, but after this point it's ridiculous
@@cynthiaandoh9575 we waited 6 or so years, what’s waiting another 7 months gonna do lmao? If season 3 is the “relaunch” of this game then at this point I’m ok with waiting if it means constant updates like a live service should be. Infinite will only probably bring back the long time Halo fans, but the Battle Royale will bring in all the new players, streamers etc
@@cynthiaandoh9575 exactly. newcomers to the game aint gonna do all this waiting for things to get ''better'' thats why halo can never grow. At the end its only always the die hard fans that stick around for the bs
@@TheGamer2323 that’s what the Battle Royale is gonna do, we all know big time streamers are gonna be playing it, and more people will have eyes on the game. Look what happened with Apex when it first released. I’m just saying the potential is through the roof.
@@jared5706 battle royal does not work for every shooter. Didnt ''battlefield firestorm'' and other poor attempts in game teach you that? Just cause your game has a battle royale it doesn't mean its gonna pop off.

Everyone should feel the same way about 343 industries, they have been messing up from the jump (dont get me started about the last halo 4 dlc they charged players with season pass) every game has had issues even mcc which was already established games! Unforgivable!
Bro I forgot about that, but you're totally right. They sold us a Halo 4 season pass saying it would get you access to all DLC content and then just said "fuck it" and charged us separately for it anyway...
Bungie had the franchise for 9 years and put out 5 absolute bangers. Meanwhile, 343 is 0 for 4 on their releases. It's time for them to go.
@@343Films i never forgot and i think most people did, knew they would suck ass after that
When I saw the game didn't even launch with a dedicated Team Slayer playlist I knew it was the end.
The fact they had no shame saying the UI couldn't handle a
Slayer playlist is absolutely unfathomable.
@@jmorales6539 You'd think that that would be the red flag that tells you the UI is shit and should be redesigned but nah.
If I was Phil its on-site with the higher ups at 343. They catching hands every where they go.
Isn’t this Microsoft’s doing tho? They wanted halo to come out pretty sure they’re the ones that rushed 343 to push the game out when it clearly wasn’t ready
@@Ozzyozzysheesh I never seen any confirmation that MS forced them to release it. But that could be the case or 343 wasn't honest about what they had. 🤷🏾♂️
The biscuit video picture lmaoooooo
Déad on arrival this will become the norm with gamepass day 1 games, rushed out the door from developers who just got the cheque from Microsoft
game has earned complete apathy long ago. personally I won't be excited until we get a new game heralded by new developers. next gen exclusive.
even then the campaign side of halo has completely been butchered by 343. I wouldnt mind if the next halo game didn't even have a campaign. or at least not a narratively important one.
True. Every single 343 Halo campaign is a retcon of the last one. Halo 4 retconned the gameplay design and artstyle of Halo Reach through 3. Halo 5 retconned Halo 4. Halo Infinite retconned Halo 5. It's actually baffling how bad 343 is at making video games, especially when you consider that they're given a bigger budget than even Rockstar games...
It's crazy and sad how these once titan franchises have fallen off over the years.
That Popeyes picture still kills me 😂
Got my popcorn chicken and my watermelon rockstar lesgooooo
💪😎👍
Great Video Topic
It is man I have been playing halo since forever and I got no hope anymore mate. I want to be optimistic but 343 are just too slow at doing updates and constantly cancelling things like split screen (which pissed me off majorly because they promised it was gonna come and yeah I was waiting lol).
MCC my only halo fix now and it's sad I wanted Infinite to succeed
Personally, I think what happened with Halo 5 is what we’re seeing with Halo Infinite, just to a more disastrous degree. Halo 5’s MP had a great core *(gameplay/map design/sound design/weapon variety/modes etc.),* but it didn’t hit its stride and receive the bulk of its great content until 2-3 years after launch. Halo 5 quite honestly has the best MP in the franchise *(objectively speaking)* but most people don’t care outside of the hardcore player base because it was too little too late. Halo Infinite will get better within the next 2-3 years, but by that point who will care outside of the hardcore Halo fan base?
@@maxxyian2yt243 Halo 4 is true Halo? With Call of Duty killstreaks, poor sound design, and underwhelming weapon and map variety? Nah.
@@maxxyian2yt243 I’d agree if those games weren’t outdated at a core level. I still believe that Halo CE/2/3 are the best Halos in the franchise, undisputed, *(Halo 2 being my personal favorite) but from a modern perspective they’re all far past their expiration dates.
RIP Halo Franchise
HALO: Combat Evolve ~ HALO: Reach
Halo 5 came out in 2015, really wonder what the hell 343 was doing
I think the game can be as big a success as MCC has become, it'll take time and lots of righting the wrongs but the foundations that are there already are great. I wont be playing for a while but I know I will be coming back.
I'm hoping that they give Treyarch a shot at making a halo game. They are the best cod dev to bring life to Halo and keep it classic
Kinda sucks because I do wanna get back into Halo been craving it recently and I found out my Xbox ain't switching on Bastard went dead on me which is ironic guess that's what I get for playing Playstation so long lol
it aint worth it dawg....
I think it’s too late
2021 What a terrible year to be a gamer COD sucked Battlefield Sucked Halo Sucked !
are we living in a time where the standards in gaming get reduced ?
The canceled couch co-op after promising it so long and so many times.
They probably cancelled co-op because then they would have to roll back the game to make it playable offline. Right now, 343 has fucked up MCC and Halo 5 by making them only playable with an internet connection. Fortunately for me, I have an Xbox One X that I put away a year-and-a-half ago with an older (better) version of MCC and Halo 5, that I could play offline, and WITHOUT heavy aim!!!
They should have called it a year long beta or 6 month
Dead? When was it alive?
This roadmap isn’t the worst thing they could’ve put out, but it’s far from ideal. And after straight up lying about split screen co-op, I think it’s finally time for the leadership at 343 to go. They have no idea how to run a Halo game, much less a live service. They think Halo at its core is competitive, which is far from the truth as stated by ex-Bungie devs.
There’s a chance that Forge (if it isn’t broken or delayed) can keep the game on life support since the community can make their own maps while we wait for S3. If they were smart, they’d take the best maps and put them into a rotational playlist as well. But unfortunately, they aren’t smart. While Bonnie Ross is at the helm, this series’ death is nothing but certain.
At least we can look forward to the match xp beta 😂
lol a beta for match xp is crazy
It's so unfortunate for die hard halo fans, I literally only play Halo and Fortnite with my friends. And by myself I grind Infinite cause I wanna get better. What sucks even more is that they actually nailed the gameplay this time around where as that was always an argument before, most people love the gameplay, but it's the rest of the game that is in disarray. 343 needs new leadership or the higher ups at Microsoft or whoever need to be changed to do things differently. They keep having to play catch up after each release its tiring. But like you said Jeremy I'm too die hard to leave it and if I ever wanna play on a team I have to grind it regardless.
Hello Jeremy, How are you
I'm sticking around for infinite but I barely play it I wish I didn't buy the battlepass so I don't have to play it to get back my credits. I still feel like my social games are so sweaty to. I played with a friend who hasnt had much halo experience and the difference in the lobby is night and day when I play with that friend social is fun and feels social but if I play by myself my lobby are way to sweaty. Honesty the fact that playing solo is a sweatfest and lack of content is making me consider deleting the game
I feel what you saying on some of the topics BUT….imma say this…I think nostalgia be killing y’all experience with these new games….y’all gotta let that old shit go bro…..like seriously
MS can't even manage their flagship franchise, can't wait for all these first party studios to crash and burn lmao.
Most studios in the industry aren't 343. Even indie dev teams can more content faster with less resources.
And I don't think it's necessary Microsoft direct management that's the issue. It's the lack thereof is what people don't understand. Microsoft used to get hated on for meddling too much in game development. And now that they have a hands off approach, if the dev teams know what they're doing they're going to be fine but if the deaf teams don't know what they're doing, they have a bunch of issues.
So it's a situation like if the coalition and Ninja Theory know what they're doing, they should be fine. But if a team like The initiative or 343i don't know what they're doing, it's probably going to stay like that because they don't interfere now.
But niggas are going to give them credit for whatever (less than stellar but better than halo) game that Bethesda comes up with. As if Bethesda or Activision for that matter wasn't already managing themselves lol.
halo Infinite is the raid shadow legends of the console world.
yes ut
MCC till death am i rite? ✊👀👊
My fellow Halosapiens, I believe the time has come to make a stand. We can no longer accept mediocrity. The only way Microsoft will pay any attention to the Halo IP and community is if we make a statement. We need to close our wallets. I’ve spent a lot of money on Xbox and halo. We need them to understand that we need change. We all want halo to succeed but something needs to be done. Let’s all come together and say no more! If you are still playing I’ll see you on the battlefield but the bank is closed until they’ve earned it back. Agree or disagree?
I haven't spent a DIME on this game outside of buying the single player mode. The battle pass in this game and stuff you get is a joke imo
@@TheGamer2323 In good faith I believed they could deliver a live service so I supported it because it was a free game. After this last update it has left a awful taste in my mouth. I feel like a fool. Season 1 delayed because they wanted S2 to meet its high standard. Season 2 was heavily underwhelming… And here we are delayed for a 3rd time. 🤦🏽♂️
I think it might be too late. If this game isn’t already dead, it’ll die off when modern warfare drops.
All I can hope is that this is such a disaster that Xbox close down 343 and give Halo to id Software or another developer lol. Joe Staten really deserved better than this shit.
Worst development studio ever. 10 years and NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT.
Even if you never planned on playing the couch co op it was fucking promised so it's still absolute bullshit man. THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
Halo 5 somehow came back and Infinite’s gameplay is far better than that game so i have hope… in 2024
The single player was fun
The multiplayer not so fun
No couch co-op or forge in a Halo game that's a horrible idea
I'm out
I’m just wanting that campaign DLC, didn’t realise how literal they were when they said this game has a ten year plan, because it might finally be finished by then.
Can we please start a petition to remove 343 as the developers of Halo, imagine if that gained some traction. Microsoft would have to notice
What happened to all the "game of the year" talk?
Too much early projection and copium doomed this game. Should have just enjoyed it for what it was and not propped it up and there wouldnt have been such a precipitous fall. Now cats are counting on the community to save this supposed 10 year game.
Such a shame what happened to halo bun I'm all honesty 343 and Microsoft are at fault for this
The split screen coop thing was insulting and they should absolutely refund people over that. This was like a 5 year in the making lie.
343incompentence needs to go, never in my life would i say that BF2042 is more lit than Halo infinite lmao
we can co op mobeil techngy
This game should’ve never been free to play and it needed another year and a half in the oven
Is it wrong for me to say that I forgot about halo infinite
no......
no it is not
343 is so trash it killed Halo without even trying
#FREESERPENT
Halo is to late to save. 343 needs to go or the higher ups need to be removed. That’s the only way I’ll buy another Halo game.
It’s crazy how trash talking is bullying or being racist but saying the N word isn’t 🤦🏿♂️
Gaylo???
Halo Infinite was a lazy poor attempt at trying to bring halo back from the dead 😂 i ain't saying halo is a thing in the past. They just ain't doing enough to make ppl want to care.
guys just play the better version of halo... Unreal tournament!!
🔥🔥🔥
All I care about is Halo and song requests
FREE SERPENT
Halo been dead since forever now, y'all need to let it go.
#Fire343
I love this game even though it lacks content which is extremely disappointing. I’ll still be playing it and looking forward to more content. The Internet a bunch of cry babies that makes everything seem 10x worse than it really is.
I don’t think rightful complaints of a game not having even 20% of the content a predecessor achieved a decade ago is just “Internet being cry babies.” Especially when that game had over 6 years of development time and even now a year of post launch. Yet still no forge, coop, infection, grief ball, or firefight.
hàlo gibg be great futee
Hi
Too little too late only kojima can save them now
I’ve been playing on Xbox primarily and I have never cared about halo or gears since the 360 era.
I’ve always preferred the Xbox ecosystem, achievements, and controller. I kept a PS for the 🔥🔥 exclusive titles.
That being said, HALO is DOA.
The game is dead and 343 killed it!
Halo Infinite ruined the Hydra. It went from my favorite gun in Halo 5, to nerfed trash in Halo infinite.
Side note, losing couch co-op isn’t a big deal, this isn’t the 90s. Most people play online co-op, now if that was missing it would be a big issue.
Losing couch co op is a big deal many people I know still do split screen
Halo 4= decent campaign (Cortana/Chief narrative carried), garbage multiplayer.
Halo 5= garbage campaign, decent multiplayer. Hardcore Halo 5 fans swear that it was the best multiplayer but the numbers of viewership and players online said otherwise.
Halo Infinite= good campaign sandbox/gameplay; narratively it spends the entire time trying to undo the mess that was Halo 5 tho. Multiplayer gameplay and mechanics are good but everything else ranges from mid to garbage (mid maps, lack of meaningful updates, boring "events" for mid cosmetics, shop updates more than everything else and has the best cosmetics, long seasons because they clearly never intended this game to be a live service when beginning development, etc.)
I blame heads of Xbox and 343i for everything. Someone has to step up and actually lead these developers to make a good game.
I'd say Halo 4 decent campaign, trash multiplayer.
Halo 5 garbage campaign, trash multiplayer but at least it wasn't 4's
No it can’t.
Elden Ring PvP is more exciting than Halo infinite
They didn’t even fix the game save glitch. Halo is dead 💀
SUCKA, I know u ain’t cover this trash ass game instead of “the last of us” broooooo!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

People have the right to be mad, but people also need to stop looking at only the present. Season 3 will be the start of ACTUAL 3 month seasons and an actual live service, season 3 is the “relaunch” of the game, seeing all the leaks shows ALOT is coming in the near future, also the Battle Royale is rumored to come late 2023 and will bring in a lot of new players. The future is bright for Infinite, short term pain for long term gain 👍🏼.
That's the issue overall, most people aren't going to wait another 6 months or whatever for the next season to come out for the game to actually be in a decent state, Ik I'm not
I was willing to wait a full season so they can get their stuff together because live service multiplayer games usually launch fairly barebones, but after this point it's ridiculous
@@cynthiaandoh9575 we waited 6 or so years, what’s waiting another 7 months gonna do lmao? If season 3 is the “relaunch” of this game then at this point I’m ok with waiting if it means constant updates like a live service should be. Infinite will only probably bring back the long time Halo fans, but the Battle Royale will bring in all the new players, streamers etc
@@cynthiaandoh9575 exactly. newcomers to the game aint gonna do all this waiting for things to get ''better'' thats why halo can never grow. At the end its only always the die hard fans that stick around for the bs
@@TheGamer2323 that’s what the Battle Royale is gonna do, we all know big time streamers are gonna be playing it, and more people will have eyes on the game. Look what happened with Apex when it first released. I’m just saying the potential is through the roof.
@@jared5706 battle royal does not work for every shooter. Didnt ''battlefield firestorm'' and other poor attempts in game teach you that? Just cause your game has a battle royale it doesn't mean its gonna pop off.
What big updates? The updates they announced are pathetic. Makes me sad this was the only game I cared about and they messed it up again.
RIP TRASHBOX SERIES L. ALL THIER GAMES ARE ON PC DAY ONE. IRRELEVANT PATHETIC DOGSHIT CONSOLE CONFIRMED. FOREVER IN LAST PLACE AS IT SHOULD BE.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
