Halo Infinite is a good game in mid-2024. The biggest issue comes with the smaller player base in the multi-player matchmaking. Plus, it's the only online game im still good at.
Yeah, if they’d had forge on launch, that alone might’ve extended its life, but because it just wasn’t there, and just so many other features were just missing on launch what could’ve been a franchise revival in multiplayer instead just fell off a cliff, nobody cared anymore even when the game started getting good, and features were added because 95% of the player base had already jumped ship.
Personally I feel it doesn't have a any real long time investment like past games did. Even though a lot of people said it lacked content and that was the reason but honestly it's deeper than that.
Halo 5 was 343's best multiplayer. Countless weapons, vehicles, and they added so much stuff post-launch that halo 5 is still an amazing multiplayer experience regardless of the teams i get matched with. As for halo infinite... it feels like a weak cough in comparison.
This doesn't change the fact that halo 5's post-launch support was far better to infinite's, so I stand with what I said; though I agree that it should not have had missing content post-launch, no game should.
ive saw some news from some websites saying that 343 would not make more halo games and if that's true, then maybe, just maybe the halo fans will have an actual good game in the next 5-8 years
Oh yeah, apparently other studios will actually manage the game hands on, 343 will more be like the overseer, which I don't mind too much with their new leadership.

Halo 5 at least had warzone which was fun and unique. Halo 4 had the best armor unlock system. Halo infinte was a step back in every way multiplayer wise.
No one mentioning the epic state of current Forge and opening the gates for current user content? People are adding their own campaign style modes/maps….. and that is amazing!
We dont mention user generated content because the community content should never be expected to be the reason a game is good. Halo Infinite in its current state is pretty much what should be bare minimum launch state. Thats not a compliment. Theyve salvaged the worst halo ever made onto something playable. Its still the worst halo ever made.
halo infinite gameplay wise was incredible in its level of fun-ness , the staff / devs just fumbled it big time with too slow updates that were lack luster and a downgrade from previous titles sadly
funny to think halo was the first to do the "zombies" before call of duty, and it was by like 4-6 years before cod did it. Community is a wonderful thing innit?
The forge is easily the BEST version so far. I’ve made several maps and it’s just ridiculous how much is possible. I don’t even bother playing forge on other halo games anymore because compared to infinite, there’s almost literally nothing you can do in them. Not only is infinite’s forge menu 100x bigger, but they added script brains which allow you to write your own code. It’s fantastic. Furthermore, the theatre mode does work pretty well. Comparable to halo reach, for example.
The issue isn’t if it’s a good game now, it’s how long it took for it to even get to that point after all the shit that happened. Nevermind the horrible microtransactions, broken promises, and the bad to mid campaign/story.
Personally Halo Infinite is my favorite multiplayer. I love the gameplay way more than the classic games, and it’s way more active. I wish they could have released like this, but once you understand the development hell the game went through and the complete restructuring of 343, it does make sense the game turned out the way it did. I just hope the Halo trilogy remake they’re doing has a similar gameplay style to this and releases in a competent state.
I do think that Halo infinite is very lacking. I just quit after a while, despite still wanting to go back. Plus, I suck at the game and it is hard to get into. I do think that they are going in the right direction, but it might be too late for infinite. Perhaps, they might be able to bring it back if a new game comes out.
Great video. Rewatching at least 2x. Halo is basically the only thing I play. I appreciate the fairness in your opinions. I’ve now Liked and Subscribed:)
I don’t know ever since reach I have never been invested in 343 releases. They lack soul and the core of what made halo such a success to begin with. Sure infinite story and multiplayer is better than there previous releases but it doesn’t change how it doesn’t stack up to halos that came out decades previous . It’s a twisted modernised version with corporate greed like battle passes and lacklustre cosmetics. Reach genuinely embodied the best of gaming I miss those days so much
Great video! I would suggest reworking your audio mixing so its a little louder on mobile speakers. Other than that, good points, the halo infinite engine and gameplay is rrally tight, its so unfortunate that they took such stupid decisions to totally kill the game.
I appreciate the feedback! I got a new microphone a little bit ago and I’m still working on getting it done tuned, I’ll work on it for the next video :)
To me it feels like 343 has slowly been chipping away at the foundation that bungie built, and that halo is just so good that it has been able to resist 343 chipping away at it. I like halo infinite but its hard to not be disappointed at so many of 343's decisions.
Is it better? Yes… Is it good? No, not by a long shot… Multiplayer just doesn’t feel the same, it feels boring in my opinion compared to some of the older games, custom modes felt more chaotic and fun in the past. The Campaign was decent, definitely not the worst, but at the same time, there is nothing to do in the open world after you are done with the story line. Oh yeah, and they monetized anything that had to do with customization, which was definitely a slap to the face compared to past games. I get that Halo 5 had loot boxes, but you could actually get everything in the game without having to spend extra.
Playing ranked, building a team, and grinding to Onyx, as well as competing in local tournaments is where it's at for me. I feel like its the best arena shooter out right now. I don't care about battle passes or career ranks as they don't effect the gameplay. I've only played the casual gametypes a few times. The bandit update made it feel more like halo reach, which is a big win!
Halo Infinite started strong with the gameplay and art style but it’s been on a pretty steady downhill spiral since they launched the free multiplayer. The weapon rebalancing felt bad, and the PVP is literally unplayable. Admittedly I’m a 9-5’er so I don’t have time to put a ton of hours into the game, but why am I getting put in high elo lobbies with absolute sweats in unranked game modes? It’s ridiculous. The MMR is so broken and I honestly don’t see myself coming back until it gets fixed.
For what it is as a free online multiplayer game, it's good. The new spartan coins system is a bit underwhelming and the change of the seasons progression is a disappointment, because you do not unlock basically anything desirable cosmetically for your character. I do like that they finally added shoulder pads and helmets to be multi-compatible with other armors; it gives your character more flexibility and creativity to customize, but the lack of new armor content is basically what makes the game a bit more undesirable to play. The game is fun don't get me wrong, but once you beat the much easier weekly challenge and the monthly progression consisting of mostly spartan coins, there's not much value in replaying the online matches and gets boring rather quickly. With that being said, I think 343 should continue to work on the gameplay and tweak a few things. The warthog with the cannon gun either needs to be able to shoot quicker or the damage needs to be buffed because it is atrocious, it feels weak for the size of the bullets you shoot out of it. Also, frag grenades need to be buffed as well with either their damage or radius; if you do not land the grenade perfectly below a person the grenade will not do hardly any damage at all. I really wish they would bring back dual-wielding guns
"let me know if the forge is any good" I don't think he knows that all the halo 3 map remakes were made in forge, as well as the most fun btb maps and all the husky raid maps. Also thankfully you can still play all the halo 3 maps in quickplay and other places too
Those complaining usually haven't played the game much. The good has always outweighed the bad for me, and now that the desync stuff has been reworked, it's a consistent and rewarding experience with *too much* content to play. Still lacking some polish, shop stuff is trash (but I never buy) and I wish LAN was easier to set up on Xbox (more a gaming problem than a Halo problem) but small problems when the core gameplay is probably the most fun I've ever had in a multiplayer experience.
I feel the same, but about the campaign. I have replayed it 30 times easy with buddies, always with a new weapons combo and new strategies. Max difficulty. LOVE IT!
"So old" you're doing his same argument in reverse. Halo is akin to now as 80's were to the 2000's. I prefer older halos even remembering walmart launch of 3 with them dogtags@@smoldoggy1005
Me: “Infinite is finally where it should’ve been at launch. I can’t wait to see the new stuff they’ll bring now!” 343: “This is the perfect time to stop supporting Infinite.”
Yeah no, gonna disagree, I love infinite, it’s so fun, haven’t spent any money on it and I have a lot of customisation options, currently platinum lieutenant, and play almost everyday
Bring back the assassinations and the shotgun so we can defend ourselves against the sniper. Feels like a sniper game now the sniper only easy weapon now feels uneven couple guys run around having fun killing people until they run into the halo man with a shotty and that’s why there is none sad
Yeah but the game was shit at launch due to previous leadership of 343 but you can thank the content you have today such as career rank cuz of the new leadership
halo infinite now is much better than launch i have played lots of halo infinite my favorite maps are chasm prism illusion and forest the playlists i play the most are quick play btb squad battle and firefight
I love infinite multiplayer. The controversy isn't about the multiplayer being exhilarating, which it is. It's bc of 343 being despised, and it's ruining my enjoyment in this game bc of the onslaught of hatred behind it. I'm deciding whether or not I'm going to uninstall bc of this animosity towards 343 and I'm convinced it's not going to improve.
@@ls93780 that makes a lot of sense, and I'm not saying 343 isn't deserving of the backlash. It just sucks bc I'm genuinely having a good time in 2024 playing infinite and I just wish 343 didn't fumble the ball so badly.
its good enough that casual fans like it. as long as people who don't care enough to visit the community keep playing the game, it won't die. Anybody who says it will is ragebaiting or a bungie meatrider. Like 90% of FPS games, the problems become minute if you don't fucking care that much.
“The gameplay is a return to form” sprint, slide, clamber and ADS is not a return to form. It’s still a complete departure from the original gameplay and vision of the original trilogy. This is true regardless of your enjoyment of those mechanics.
I can't wait for infintie to finally be over, not because of the anticipation to play their next game, but because I am desperate to finally see the day 343 loses control of the franchise and a new developer that respects it can try their abt at making something. Its been so depressing watching what they've done to it for my entire adult life. The one sliver lining was the repair of MCC, but never forget they left that broken for years till microsfot decided they wanted to test the waters batting fo rpc and even then they lost a huge amount of players very quickly because they only ported reach at first, heavily unoptimised and completely unbalanced for mouse players aka the majority of PC gamers. They haven't been able to do anything without a major fumble and that's how one of the biggest titan franchises in gaming, xboxs undeniable flagship, a cultural sensation, has become.... whatever this is.
The MP is fine but it's not my cup of tea so I don't care for it. The main reason I don't like Infinite is because of the campaign. Making it open world was a terrible decision. The game was too repetitive and I forced myself to play most of it. The only thing I enjoyed was the grapple hook, especially fully upgraded. I wasn't invested in the story one bit either. The fact that I had to wait a year just to play co-op, then it launched in a broken shitty state, is another reason I don't care for Infinite. 343 doesn't deserve the IP and should have lost it after Halo 4. The franchise died when Bungie moved on.
as someone who continued to play this game since it came out I can officially say its dead, theirs no point to playing social because its just bots and also all you get is a bit of articfial XP, ranked is the only playlist worth playing but too bad to find a match takes 30 min and sometimes you wont even find that, as someone who wanted this game to thrive I'm officially calling it QUITS which sucks because halo to me will always be special in my heart but not finding a game at all means you cant play so hopefully 343i get their house in order and go back to the drawing board, how the hell did they screw this up you had halo 2 halo 3 halo reach , you have all these amazing games yet now halo is what is it because some dev decides to think outside the box on a formula that's already been perfected, halo is bungie and I really wish that bungie would buy back halo because what 343i turned it into is a joke you cant perfect a game playloop after 3 games, yet here we have bungie who haven't made a game in almost 10 years and have perfected the live service model, imagine a decade from now when halo is a skeleton and Microsoft sell it for pennies on the dollar , and the news BUNGIE BUY BACK RIGHTS TO HALO, all us 40 year olds then would explode, to bad its wishfull thinking, 343i need to stop trying to be different because us OG fans don't want that we want a halo like reach or h3 where everygame you play you feel enjoyment and accomplishment, not just here 200xp for a battle pass with ranks that don't mean shit, a 5 star general in H3 meant something now no one cares what rank they are
I actually think the game is really fun I like how the multiplier plays. Anybody interested in playing custom games let me know! I’m trying to build a crew to play with
@@TheWeChattyFew while that is true, some games are complete tradh, not even arguable, you really can't compare something like halo 3 and say it's worse than halo infinite, that's just factualy wrong
Halo Infinite in its current state is what should be at bare minimum the expected launch state. Thats not a compliment. Theyve salvaged the worst halo ever made onto something playable. Its still the worst halo ever made. If people dump it and stop pretending its worth the halo name (because its not), 343 will either dump it completely and move on to the next disaster or Microsoft moves Halo to a company who cares about it that is willing to treat halo like a AAA title with millions of fans.
I honestly kind of hate videos like this. You're asking if the game sucks. Even though you're probably even playing it for the last 4 months. Also, Spartan lock was awesome.
Halo 5 had a better post-launch support system, however as a lifetime halo fan, the base gameplay, art style, and atmosphere of infinite were 1,000 times better
@@Altjake97 nah gameplay in infinite is straight bland i cant get hooked at all no one can halo 5 had great maps better infection gameplay guns are just more enjoyable like the shotgun in infinite should even be called a shotgun the heat wave is straight garbage to wheres the blaze of glory end game ad victorian spnkr prime damage boost speed vehicles beside the scorpion are all made out of paper halo 5 phaeton helios, Hannibal wasp, banshe ultra its just a straight downgrade
Halo infinite had better atmosphere and art by like an infinitely higher amount than 5 for sure. In halo 5's defense however, the sandbox was far better.
@@RyanCooper-r9n Ig the open world is better but like who cares when 99% of the people who played halo went to the multiplayer and the maps blow infinites maps out the water breakout arena regular slayer and btb with sick vehicles and better guns
@@rickydelbosque780 I could care less about the open world. I'm saying that the art style in halo infinite is much better than CoD advanced warfare: halo 5. Nothing in Halo 5 looked anything like halo. Halo infinite at least was a step in the right direction. Now the next halo game it's needs a better sandbox, vehicles, and maps at launch
Its shambolic, its ui is still a mess, cgb is super bugged, the moentisation sucks and the 343 has earned the reputation as the worst developer in the industry with over a decade of bad decisions, ignoring their community and firing and pushing away the original creators of halo at every opportunity to do their own god awful thing.
343 has done the impossible, each game is a downgrade from the last, even halo infinite campaign is worse than halo 5 , halo 5 atleast had level design and not a far cry 5 copy and paste with no meaning
Ya know i disagree i don't think halo infinites gameplay is good. It plays like a twitch shooter. Its call of duty basically... What happened to crouch jumping? Clamber sucks Sprint still ruins a lot of things Hi jacking is less fun Grappling hooks removes you from bad positioning Sliding??? That is sooo not halo. Are we still playing halo? Or we playing limbo now. Wanan know why 343's games keep failing because its gameplay. But most folks don't understand that they think it's content and live service killed off the game... Nope!. Wasn't that it was gameplay always has been. Wouldn't it be crazy if it actually looks like it plays VERY VERY similar to halo 3 but with newer enemies, weapons, game modes, features, options etc that we never seen before in halo? AI bots in multiplayer. Custom map editor for fire fight. No online only crap or micro transaction wallet rape type stuff? I really don't see that happening but I can dream can't I?? So halo infinite was halos last chance? If you ask me halo 5 was halos last chance... I don't see halo being anywhere near as popular as it once was, once most fans saw halo 4 and mcc. One of which was mostly hated more than any halo game before it, and the other launching broken as fck. Even if halo 7 does turn out to be amazing some how... What then?? 343 has only fucked up for 2 straight decades now for the most part. They have delivered a handful of games that are all pretty mediocre and some aspects of them are just plain bad like the ones with micro transactions or MCC at launch. 343 needs to deliver like 4 or 5 great games to win the respect back. Not just one game. Sorry but you gotta be fair. 343 gave us a bunch of mediocre/garbage games. Soo to make up for that they need to give us a handful of great games duuuhhh. You don't get to fuck me over for a decade and then do one nice thing and act like everything is fine afterwards. Nope... I have higher standards that shit only works on dumb ass fanboys. Not someone like me who has a fucking memory and standards. But yeah im beginning to rant now so back to my point about gameplay. Yeah lol. Thats how halo suxxx now!
"Live service " is killing games ..they all suck! Content is incomplete, always lagging , cheaters every time on everygame - bring back a finished USB product on release... besides when we start to sue cuz product isnt thr its on you...!
Personally, I think Halo 5 is the worst’s title of all. I played the campagne once and lost 95% memory of it. Even in H4, I can remember a big portion of the champagne despite it’s a 360 title and played it two times. The mp of 5 was created with e-sport in mind. Large playlists required requiem packs for weapons and big vehicles. Worst part, I have the option of buying these packs for a higher chance of getting a S7, Scorpin etc. Further more, I had to choose wisely. Use it or wait for a good match. CE, 2, 3 and reach were the golden age. Story wise and multiplayer. But yea, if u liked Halo 5, than that’s good for you I think :)
@@MarsiB013 sure, thats a Warzone thing, and is also part of the mp, and that’s why I counting it into my personal opinion :). I respect yours of the H5 mp. I like 1-4 more.‘. Halo Infinite needed a lot of time but is also a good one. Despite it lacks a lot of previous great weapons. Hopefully the next title does it better. Without the Slipspace engine, more features like forge and the match composer at start.

The issue isn’t if it’s a good game now, it’s how long it took for it to even get to that point after all the shit that happened. Nevermind the horrible microtransactions, broken promises, and the bad to mid campaign/story.
Personally Halo Infinite is my favorite multiplayer. I love the gameplay way more than the classic games, and it’s way more active. I wish they could have released like this, but once you understand the development hell the game went through and the complete restructuring of 343, it does make sense the game turned out the way it did. I just hope the Halo trilogy remake they’re doing has a similar gameplay style to this and releases in a competent state.
I do think that Halo infinite is very lacking. I just quit after a while, despite still wanting to go back. Plus, I suck at the game and it is hard to get into. I do think that they are going in the right direction, but it might be too late for infinite. Perhaps, they might be able to bring it back if a new game comes out.
Good video man!
Thanks!!
I loved this video but please raise the gain in your mic? It's hard to hear you sometimes
it couldve been great. truly unfortunate. i still enjoy playing though
Haven't played Halo Infinite or Halo 5 campaigns yet. Tried Infinite multiplayer and was immediately turned off by the T rating/lack of blood effects.
Yeah it’s honestly sad, I miss the blood effects as well, hopefully one day we get that M-rated old school halo game 🙏🏻
i hope they fix the latency shit outside USA I'm playing on 100+ ping all the time
Great video. Rewatching at least 2x. Halo is basically the only thing I play. I appreciate the fairness in your opinions. I’ve now Liked and Subscribed:)
I don’t know ever since reach I have never been invested in 343 releases. They lack soul and the core of what made halo such a success to begin with. Sure infinite story and multiplayer is better than there previous releases but it doesn’t change how it doesn’t stack up to halos that came out decades previous . It’s a twisted modernised version with corporate greed like battle passes and lacklustre cosmetics. Reach genuinely embodied the best of gaming I miss those days so much
Great video! I would suggest reworking your audio mixing so its a little louder on mobile speakers. Other than that, good points, the halo infinite engine and gameplay is rrally tight, its so unfortunate that they took such stupid decisions to totally kill the game.
Sounds good to me
I appreciate the feedback! I got a new microphone a little bit ago and I’m still working on getting it done tuned, I’ll work on it for the next video :)
@@Altjake97hey Jake, I’ve started playing custom games with a small group of friends + chatting over discord. Would you be interested to join?
To me it feels like 343 has slowly been chipping away at the foundation that bungie built, and that halo is just so good that it has been able to resist 343 chipping away at it. I like halo infinite but its hard to not be disappointed at so many of 343's decisions.
Nigga what 343 completely destroyed everything Bungie made with Halo 😂😂😂😂😂 their day 1 memo was to ruin everything
People are realizing that this game is not as good as people though it is sad..
Is it better? Yes…
Is it good? No, not by a long shot…
Multiplayer just doesn’t feel the same, it feels boring in my opinion compared to some of the older games, custom modes felt more chaotic and fun in the past. The Campaign was decent, definitely not the worst, but at the same time, there is nothing to do in the open world after you are done with the story line.
Oh yeah, and they monetized anything that had to do with customization, which was definitely a slap to the face compared to past games. I get that Halo 5 had loot boxes, but you could actually get everything in the game without having to spend extra.
Playing ranked, building a team, and grinding to Onyx, as well as competing in local tournaments is where it's at for me. I feel like its the best arena shooter out right now. I don't care about battle passes or career ranks as they don't effect the gameplay. I've only played the casual gametypes a few times. The bandit update made it feel more like halo reach, which is a big win!
Turned the video off at "there was a steadt stream of content coming out post launch". That's a literal lie. 😂
I play this game almost everyday
Not listening to UA-camrs is the best advice 😂 just play the game and if it’s fun it’s fun . Coming from halo 3 since it released , infinite is better
Halo Infinite started strong with the gameplay and art style but it’s been on a pretty steady downhill spiral since they launched the free multiplayer. The weapon rebalancing felt bad, and the PVP is literally unplayable. Admittedly I’m a 9-5’er so I don’t have time to put a ton of hours into the game, but why am I getting put in high elo lobbies with absolute sweats in unranked game modes? It’s ridiculous. The MMR is so broken and I honestly don’t see myself coming back until it gets fixed.
For what it is as a free online multiplayer game, it's good. The new spartan coins system is a bit underwhelming and the change of the seasons progression is a disappointment, because you do not unlock basically anything desirable cosmetically for your character. I do like that they finally added shoulder pads and helmets to be multi-compatible with other armors; it gives your character more flexibility and creativity to customize, but the lack of new armor content is basically what makes the game a bit more undesirable to play. The game is fun don't get me wrong, but once you beat the much easier weekly challenge and the monthly progression consisting of mostly spartan coins, there's not much value in replaying the online matches and gets boring rather quickly.
With that being said, I think 343 should continue to work on the gameplay and tweak a few things. The warthog with the cannon gun either needs to be able to shoot quicker or the damage needs to be buffed because it is atrocious, it feels weak for the size of the bullets you shoot out of it. Also, frag grenades need to be buffed as well with either their damage or radius; if you do not land the grenade perfectly below a person the grenade will not do hardly any damage at all. I really wish they would bring back dual-wielding guns
"let me know if the forge is any good"
I don't think he knows that all the halo 3 map remakes were made in forge, as well as the most fun btb maps and all the husky raid maps. Also thankfully you can still play all the halo 3 maps in quickplay and other places too
Those complaining usually haven't played the game much. The good has always outweighed the bad for me, and now that the desync stuff has been reworked, it's a consistent and rewarding experience with *too much* content to play. Still lacking some polish, shop stuff is trash (but I never buy) and I wish LAN was easier to set up on Xbox (more a gaming problem than a Halo problem) but small problems when the core gameplay is probably the most fun I've ever had in a multiplayer experience.
I feel those who complain have valid reasons as to why they feel the way they do towards it.
I feel the same, but about the campaign. I have replayed it 30 times easy with buddies, always with a new weapons combo and new strategies. Max difficulty. LOVE IT!
@@TheLegacyOfIvalice Totally fair, it has been a bit of a gong show
You are so old yet I guarantee you haven’t touched CE or 2 on the og xbox. Another reddit tourist shamelessly shilling for big daddy corporations
"So old" you're doing his same argument in reverse. Halo is akin to now as 80's were to the 2000's. I prefer older halos even remembering walmart launch of 3 with them dogtags@@smoldoggy1005
Love the video 💪🏾
Me: “Infinite is finally where it should’ve been at launch. I can’t wait to see the new stuff they’ll bring now!”
343: “This is the perfect time to stop supporting Infinite.”
yeah Halo is dead. Died in 2012.
imo it died with halo 5 i think the campaign of halo 4 was really good in some aspects but 5 was more of an obstacle to get through
Yeah no, gonna disagree, I love infinite, it’s so fun, haven’t spent any money on it and I have a lot of customisation options, currently platinum lieutenant, and play almost everyday
Halo didn't die, it ended with reach and nothing happened to the franchise ever since.
@@thetower8553 erm actually reach is a prequel so by your logic it ended before it started ☝️🤓
@@thetriplejjj0177 Reach actually ends in 2589 ☝🤓
Bring back the assassinations and the shotgun so we can defend ourselves against the sniper. Feels like a sniper game now the sniper only easy weapon now feels uneven couple guys run around having fun killing people until they run into the halo man with a shotty and that’s why there is none sad
I didnt like how they started messing with the aim assist it really messed me up
Yeah but the game was shit at launch due to previous leadership of 343 but you can thank the content you have today such as career rank cuz of the new leadership
halo infinite now is much better than launch
i have played lots of halo infinite my favorite maps are chasm prism illusion and forest
the playlists i play the most are quick play btb squad battle and firefight
I spent $500+ just to spite all the poor people who can’t play with sprint.
I love infinite multiplayer. The controversy isn't about the multiplayer being exhilarating, which it is. It's bc of 343 being despised, and it's ruining my enjoyment in this game bc of the onslaught of hatred behind it. I'm deciding whether or not I'm going to uninstall bc of this animosity towards 343 and I'm convinced it's not going to improve.
The multiplayer being good unfortunately doesn’t help when most of the player base has jumped ship.
@@ls93780 that makes a lot of sense, and I'm not saying 343 isn't deserving of the backlash. It just sucks bc I'm genuinely having a good time in 2024 playing infinite and I just wish 343 didn't fumble the ball so badly.
its good enough that casual fans like it. as long as people who don't care enough to visit the community keep playing the game, it won't die. Anybody who says it will is ragebaiting or a bungie meatrider. Like 90% of FPS games, the problems become minute if you don't fucking care that much.
Seems like thats xboxs biggest problem fucking up launches
It’s the same as it’s always been. Atleast it’s better then 4 and 5 but that’s not saying much
I liked 4, 5 was ehhh... 😅
“The gameplay is a return to form” sprint, slide, clamber and ADS is not a return to form. It’s still a complete departure from the original gameplay and vision of the original trilogy. This is true regardless of your enjoyment of those mechanics.
Yea, I got you. I got this on camera!
I can't wait for infintie to finally be over, not because of the anticipation to play their next game, but because I am desperate to finally see the day 343 loses control of the franchise and a new developer that respects it can try their abt at making something. Its been so depressing watching what they've done to it for my entire adult life. The one sliver lining was the repair of MCC, but never forget they left that broken for years till microsfot decided they wanted to test the waters batting fo rpc and even then they lost a huge amount of players very quickly because they only ported reach at first, heavily unoptimised and completely unbalanced for mouse players aka the majority of PC gamers. They haven't been able to do anything without a major fumble and that's how one of the biggest titan franchises in gaming, xboxs undeniable flagship, a cultural sensation, has become.... whatever this is.
Yeah once I heard Halo was going Free To Play i know it was over
I think halo infinite is in a good place
I got so bored of COD. Went back to Halo Infinite. Already enjoying it better than COD. I can actually have fun in Hali Infinite.
Halo is pretty much dead. It's unfortunate that the new 343 is stuck with it.
As someone who has played almost everyday since launch. it's not dead. Still getting updates. New maps. And can find a match instantly
The management didn't change anything.
The MP is fine but it's not my cup of tea so I don't care for it. The main reason I don't like Infinite is because of the campaign. Making it open world was a terrible decision. The game was too repetitive and I forced myself to play most of it. The only thing I enjoyed was the grapple hook, especially fully upgraded. I wasn't invested in the story one bit either. The fact that I had to wait a year just to play co-op, then it launched in a broken shitty state, is another reason I don't care for Infinite.
343 doesn't deserve the IP and should have lost it after Halo 4. The franchise died when Bungie moved on.
They still don’t have team slayer. It’s not Halo.
You're telling me this game doesn't have team death match still?
as someone who continued to play this game since it came out I can officially say its dead, theirs no point to playing social because its just bots and also all you get is a bit of articfial XP, ranked is the only playlist worth playing but too bad to find a match takes 30 min and sometimes you wont even find that, as someone who wanted this game to thrive I'm officially calling it QUITS which sucks because halo to me will always be special in my heart but not finding a game at all means you cant play so hopefully 343i get their house in order and go back to the drawing board, how the hell did they screw this up you had halo 2 halo 3 halo reach , you have all these amazing games yet now halo is what is it because some dev decides to think outside the box on a formula that's already been perfected, halo is bungie and I really wish that bungie would buy back halo because what 343i turned it into is a joke you cant perfect a game playloop after 3 games, yet here we have bungie who haven't made a game in almost 10 years and have perfected the live service model, imagine a decade from now when halo is a skeleton and Microsoft sell it for pennies on the dollar , and the news BUNGIE BUY BACK RIGHTS TO HALO, all us 40 year olds then would explode, to bad its wishfull thinking, 343i need to stop trying to be different because us OG fans don't want that we want a halo like reach or h3 where everygame you play you feel enjoyment and accomplishment, not just here 200xp for a battle pass with ranks that don't mean shit, a 5 star general in H3 meant something now no one cares what rank they are
the answer is no im calling it right here (i was half right)
I actually think the game is really fun I like how the multiplier plays. Anybody interested in playing custom games let me know! I’m trying to build a crew to play with
Did infinite die faster than 5?
You could go without all the swearing
I will give them one more chance with a brand new game, if it’s not good I’d say halo is dead, they are hanging by a thread
Halo infinite is at best mid in 2024 sometimes I find myself rather play halo 5 mostly find myself going back to MCC for the most part
unpopular opinion: infinite is the best halo (as a long time halo fan too)
I agree!
yeah no, while i can agree that the hate is unnecessary, it's nowhere near being the best halo game, you have bad taste
But how?
@@engiturtle65then again, taste is subjective. Hard to say someone has bad taste when everyone has a different pallet
@@TheWeChattyFew while that is true, some games are complete tradh, not even arguable, you really can't compare something like halo 3 and say it's worse than halo infinite, that's just factualy wrong
Halo Infinite in its current state is what should be at bare minimum the expected launch state. Thats not a compliment. Theyve salvaged the worst halo ever made onto something playable. Its still the worst halo ever made. If people dump it and stop pretending its worth the halo name (because its not), 343 will either dump it completely and move on to the next disaster or Microsoft moves Halo to a company who cares about it that is willing to treat halo like a AAA title with millions of fans.
I honestly kind of hate videos like this. You're asking if the game sucks. Even though you're probably even playing it for the last 4 months. Also, Spartan lock was awesome.
Go try out “The Finals” another dying game but a little more fun
Good video yeah but also the game has only improved
0:25 Halo 5 is much better. Even Halo 5's campaign was better, and Halo 5 had an awful campaign.
Halo 5 had a better post-launch support system, however as a lifetime halo fan, the base gameplay, art style, and atmosphere of infinite were 1,000 times better
@@Altjake97 nah gameplay in infinite is straight bland i cant get hooked at all no one can halo 5 had great maps better infection gameplay guns are just more enjoyable like the shotgun in infinite should even be called a shotgun the heat wave is straight garbage to wheres the blaze of glory end game ad victorian spnkr prime damage boost speed vehicles beside the scorpion are all made out of paper halo 5 phaeton helios, Hannibal wasp, banshe ultra its just a straight downgrade
Halo infinite had better atmosphere and art by like an infinitely higher amount than 5 for sure. In halo 5's defense however, the sandbox was far better.
@@RyanCooper-r9n Ig the open world is better but like who cares when 99% of the people who played halo went to the multiplayer and the maps blow infinites maps out the water breakout arena regular slayer and btb with sick vehicles and better guns
@@rickydelbosque780 I could care less about the open world. I'm saying that the art style in halo infinite is much better than CoD advanced warfare: halo 5. Nothing in Halo 5 looked anything like halo. Halo infinite at least was a step in the right direction. Now the next halo game it's needs a better sandbox, vehicles, and maps at launch
Its shambolic, its ui is still a mess, cgb is super bugged, the moentisation sucks and the 343 has earned the reputation as the worst developer in the industry with over a decade of bad decisions, ignoring their community and firing and pushing away the original creators of halo at every opportunity to do their own god awful thing.
Answer to the question in the title. No. Its still a bag of shit still.
Halo 5 was far superior to Halo Infinite , especially with the content releases!
I miss halo 5s warzone. Infinites btb is the worst in the series, vehicles are terrible and made out of paper.
The armor is an art style close to the original games? Are you on crack?
Yes
They have added some awesome armor into the game, way better than the options from 4 and 5
343 has done the impossible, each game is a downgrade from the last, even halo infinite campaign is worse than halo 5 , halo 5 atleast had level design and not a far cry 5 copy and paste with no meaning
Ya know i disagree i don't think halo infinites gameplay is good. It plays like a twitch shooter. Its call of duty basically...
What happened to crouch jumping?
Clamber sucks
Sprint still ruins a lot of things
Hi jacking is less fun
Grappling hooks removes you from bad positioning
Sliding??? That is sooo not halo. Are we still playing halo? Or we playing limbo now.
Wanan know why 343's games keep failing because its gameplay. But most folks don't understand that they think it's content and live service killed off the game... Nope!. Wasn't that it was gameplay always has been.
Wouldn't it be crazy if it actually looks like it plays VERY VERY similar to halo 3 but with newer enemies, weapons, game modes, features, options etc that we never seen before in halo? AI bots in multiplayer. Custom map editor for fire fight. No online only crap or micro transaction wallet rape type stuff? I really don't see that happening but I can dream can't I??
So halo infinite was halos last chance? If you ask me halo 5 was halos last chance... I don't see halo being anywhere near as popular as it once was, once most fans saw halo 4 and mcc. One of which was mostly hated more than any halo game before it, and the other launching broken as fck.
Even if halo 7 does turn out to be amazing some how... What then?? 343 has only fucked up for 2 straight decades now for the most part. They have delivered a handful of games that are all pretty mediocre and some aspects of them are just plain bad like the ones with micro transactions or MCC at launch.
343 needs to deliver like 4 or 5 great games to win the respect back. Not just one game. Sorry but you gotta be fair. 343 gave us a bunch of mediocre/garbage games. Soo to make up for that they need to give us a handful of great games duuuhhh. You don't get to fuck me over for a decade and then do one nice thing and act like everything is fine afterwards. Nope... I have higher standards that shit only works on dumb ass fanboys. Not someone like me who has a fucking memory and standards.
But yeah im beginning to rant now so back to my point about gameplay. Yeah lol. Thats how halo suxxx now!
All i want is a multiplayer like halo 5, best halo multiplayer hands down bc of forge and warzone
"Live service " is killing games ..they all suck! Content is incomplete, always lagging , cheaters every time on everygame - bring back a finished USB product on release... besides when we start to sue cuz product isnt thr its on you...!
Halo 5 overhated
No .halo 5 is better come at me
Personally, I think Halo 5 is the worst’s title of all. I played the campagne once and lost 95% memory of it. Even in H4, I can remember a big portion of the champagne despite it’s a 360 title and played it two times. The mp of 5 was created with e-sport in mind. Large playlists required requiem packs for weapons and big vehicles. Worst part, I have the option of buying these packs for a higher chance of getting a S7, Scorpin etc. Further more, I had to choose wisely. Use it or wait for a good match.
CE, 2, 3 and reach were the golden age. Story wise and multiplayer.
But yea, if u liked Halo 5, than that’s good for you I think :)
@@tiget Req Packs were only in Warzone. H5 MP was the best mp.
@@MarsiB013 sure, thats a Warzone thing, and is also part of the mp, and that’s why I counting it into my personal opinion :). I respect yours of the H5 mp. I like 1-4 more.‘. Halo Infinite needed a lot of time but is also a good one. Despite it lacks a lot of previous great weapons. Hopefully the next title does it better. Without the Slipspace engine, more features like forge and the match composer at start.
F*** 343.
Nope still shit
No
Nope.
I mostly only play campaign and campaign style forge maps. But I freaking love it. Over 300 hours easy
No
