Halo Infinite's New Update Is Lacking...

- Опубликовано: 1 апр 2024
- The new operation in Halo Infinite is live now, the Yappening II has returned and brought with it a massive shop update. There is a new Gruntpocalypse game mode is Firefight KoTH but all the enemies are grunts. Later in the operation, we are getting the new arena map Corrosion, a forge-built map. Missing in this update however is any mention or improvements to the new network update, and no updates on the cheating situation that has all blown up in the last two weeks. It is concerning that this is the new trend for Infinite and I'm worried that if players don't see or hear about changes soon, then population will start to fall off fast. Thanks for watching. #halo #haloinfinite
• Halo Infinite's New Up... 
Игры
At this point I think updates are going to be a new map/s, a 20 tier pass with filler, and an entire seasons worth of cosmetics in the store. Today’s store makes me think they were planning a banished season at one point.
There really should be a way to earn credits through gameplay
Nerf shockrifle
I agree
If they did do that then it's going to be like super grindy to unlock
@@ks_carri3d571yeah but having the option is still better then only being able to buy with real money
My suggestion, that r/haloinfinite liked and r/halo flamed to hell due to trolls, was that every time your rank up in career progression, you should get 100 credits. By the time you get up to Hero rank, you should get 1000 since it's the last rank. In total, that would be 10,000 Credits, or about $100 worth of credits. That gives the player the ability to buy less than 10% of what is available in the shop.
I really do think that if a halo game played exactly like infinite but had the features we would expect at launch and consistent updates, we would get to keep infinite for much longer as our main halo game.
They still have people on the team making these really cool weapon models but won't actually give us any new weapons. Halo infinite has been out for almost 3 years and we've gotten ONE new weapon. (I don't count the bandit evo since it's a variant) If they could just, idk, give us some of the older covenant weapons but maybe with a banished theme, I think the game would actually feel kinda refreshing. We have also yet to recieve any new vehicles, and they clearly have one finished which is the falcon but they just won't give it to us.
Ive been having issues with the hitreg on firefight, and the sbmm seems way stricter than normal for me. Maybe it was just today, but it doesn't feel like the update really brought much.
I had some funky hitreg firefight matches as well. It's a pretty meh operation
Felt the same way about the SBMM. I've played twice since the network update totaling 4 matches and I just don't have the tolerance for it anymore. Tired of people feeling the need to play the way they do instead of playing for the fun of it and tired of the current SBMM system. Turns an already mediocre game into dogshit.
I feel the exact same way. I’ve been playing Infinite consistently since Dec 2022 and did not see a cheater once until 343i switched from Arbiter to Easy Anti-Cheat.
I also decided not to purchase anything else in the game when I released 343i was moving on during the livestream for CU-29.
"Not as good as Reach"
Such a simple and perfect way to describe 343i's time with Halo. They are still getting body'd by old Bungie games.
Shameful.
Yup that's the problem. They try to sell us a poorly supported "live service" Halo, but the game didnt have the basics to begin with. We still don't have neutral assault or a godamn Falcon ...
Debatable. I like both and they both have their strengths. I like that Reach has the ability to hijack Ghosts and Wraiths, better maps, wackier modes, better weapon sandbox and of course the target Designator. Nothing like raining hell from above. With Infinite, I like the fast pace, the very well designed AI behavior and combat feel, and the bosses that drop powerful weapon variants. Neither is better than the other, just different.
@@Starborn77 Not even remotely.
@@Starborn77 I can ask you the same question, I was playing it last week, and to call it slow is objectively incorrect.
@@Starborn77 It really isn't if you know how to move through the maps, also Firefight was NEVER meant to be fast paced, case and point: ODST firefight.
Reach FF is by no means slow, but it's not a twitch shooter like Halo 5 either.
Infinite firefight *seems* faster because there are more advanced movement mechanics in it than Reach, including a hookshot inspired piece of equipment that zips you across a good chunk of the map insanely fast.
Infinite is by no means fast paced, Hell it's almost as slow as Halo 3, I'd argue slower cause vehicles are worthless outside of tanks. But there's no way in Hell that Infinite FF is better than Reach FF outside of the fact it's forgable, that's the ONLY advantage Infinite FF has over Reach FF.
I really really wanna love this game, but I find myself sweating, getting shot through walls etc , over a whack keychain, or whatever the free weekly is… cos the shop is so ridiculously priced, considering the game is stale af .
It’s honestly a miserable experience as a solo player.
I’ll give bungie that, they kept an open line of communication pretty well during the halo days
I feel the same about the skins, while the game can be fun, there's no point buying them if the games about to be dropped. And Easy Anticheat is proof that kernel level anti cheats are not worth the invasiveness that they cause.
This whole game is lacking from day 1.
I think that this update puts a great emphasis on what I think Halo has done terribly ever since Halo 4's release and that is how polarizing the game is among the fanbase. It's not so much about the changes that are made and more about the player-base's reaction to them.
We have been playing this game on the same network model for around 2 years and now for them to change it drastically has completely divided the community. Same thing goes for a lot of the changes this franchise has seen over the past decade. Not inherently bad but definitely polarizing and divisive within the community, and I think it bleeds players because people are just sick of the arguing and frustration within the community.
Crazy that after the match composer comes, there are only two things 343 needs to do to keep Infinite fresh: Frequent new sandbox additions, and implementing a system for earning credits. Do that and the game will keep players, give them a reason to grind, and keep the Forgers happy by putting their stuff in matchmaking. It's so simple. It's not nearly as hard to implement as something like the new networking model, but it isn't going to fit Microsoft's evil priorities.
Agreed. What's the harm in letting grinders get a few credits over time? My proposal is 100 credits for every career rank up, until Hero which should net 1000 credits for being the final rank and hard to attain. In total, that gives players 10,000 credits, about $100 worth in shop, which lets them buy less than 10% of the available content in the shop. Seems rather fair to me.
They need to add past weapons vehicles and a veto/voting system. These things, match composer and I know they won’t add this at all but if they added pregame postgame lobbies we would be cooking. Then we could say game is getting what it needs, only thing aside from those things I would say is new modes from past games like griffball, multiteam vip ect. Next halo game needs everything infinite has plus these things at launch and we would be at a great place starting but won’t be till few more years. Hope they can add enough to infinite to keep it up. Store prices are ridiculous and honestly I just don’t open it up anymore. Anytime I play I just get my buddies together and we play matches. Don’t even care for the absurd prices they have, I bought stuff in the past but not buying anything since content updates started. All the money being made most likely is going towards the next game (hopefully). Enjoy the gameplay of infinite and honestly excited to see the next halo on unreal engine. It’s gonna be the game changer we needed for all these years we been asking for a better halo game. The engine will make halo feel unreal.😏
As a PC player, I just want Halo 5 on Steam. Be in standalone or part of MCC, if 343i opened up preorders, I would put money down right now. I want to play Warzone with the advanced movement and weapon/vehicle variants. 343i would also have to unlock the framerate, add an FoV slider and allow view model movement like in MCC and Infinite, but other than that, no reason Halo 5 couldn't be put on PC right now. They'd make money and I would have little to complain about.
I’ve wanted to love Infinite from day one but it’s been hard. The network update was an improvement in some areas, but not enough for me to be able to fully enjoy the game the way I want to being an m&k player. I understand that events like The Yappening are crucial as to keep content fresh, but it’s lacking. I would rather they put the resources in to making the game feel better. Halo is the only game at the moment where I feel I’m at a disadvantage not using a controller. The cosmetics being in the store and not able to be earned is such a shame. I’d play so much more if I could grind for a dope looking skin. I’ll keep rooting for Halo but there will come a time when that will stop not just for me but others as well
These ‘seasons/operations’ are basically becoming the equivalent of Apex collection events. You get very little actual content for free and then over $150 worth of cosmetics added to the shop. I don’t even understand why we get the crappy 20 tier pass with like 5 levels of actual armor when all the stuff in the store would make a good 50-100 tier battle pass themed around the content. I swear, every time 343i starts to sway fan perception they back pedal with the most baffling decisions that make fans question everything all over again and return to how they felt prior to new updates. The Spirit of Fire operation was a bad omen and a precursor of what we would see more of. I’m sure more people bought into that because of the Halo Wars theme, but I don’t think people are as blind when it comes to the Chimera/AI horror operation the last few weeks and then this grunt/banished theme op now. Halo should be so much better, such a disappointment.
Managed decline in full effect.
In Slayer Fiesta and Super Fiesta nothing has improved. Lots of jittering and stuttering. 😢
My concern is this: it's long shot between now and the next game. I'm thinking in the ball park of 6 years. I feel like it's gonna be a long road, and I'd hate to see the game die. They will likely never tweak SB/MM and it already feels like those ranked wait times are a little longer comparing S5 to post-"CU29". Whatever they do next, please just don't make it F2P.
you can kinda tell that these updates are more so to keep players busy with something to do as they work on the next game..
Whats the viewmodel settings for 0:05 ?
After beating the campaign on legendary and giving it 3 months of my time for multiplayer it was more then a let down. If they brought back game chat where u could talk to everyone before the game theyd be in the right direction but we all know they’d just bad u and so it wouldn’t work even if y wanted it too
My partner loves halo, but she doesn’t keep up with the news and i dont have the heart to tell her this game is on its last legs.
Rolling out more than fixing big issues
The Content update strategy for infinite is very very weird... not gonna cap i love my grunts so this is a cool event for me but even still... the staying power and meat behind updates like these i feel like in a lot of ways only hurt the game... you have a dare i say miniscule update as far as content goes... we got like what 2-3 armor pieces and some coatings and that's really it (imo i dont think nameplates and backgrounds is a big sell for most ppl) but you can ALWAYS expect a bunch of 20-40$ bundles, oh and i forgot 1 new map that you'll probably love for a week or hate immediately... awesome... also i hate to do this but in this world competition is a lot and when you have other F2P titles like a Fortnite or The Finals or Apex and you see the content to update ratios they have it just make you go "why would i play halo?" TLDR: these definitely feel like updates you would get for a game you should not be playing as much anymore... love the vids!!
At this point, I have more hope for Halo fans to make a halo inspired game... Than the promise of a future halo game being "the return of the king." Under 343 anyway.
Ran into a cheater in the yappening firefight for the lag thing he was just exp grinding not ranked not social, unless he was testing it but I left regardless after coincidences started to happen
I find it disappointing. Because just when the game was feeling great, they make these decisions. It reminds me a lot of when destiny 2 has been handled ever since. They do activities in cycle until the end. And the only thing I'm urgently asking of the game is more weapons.
I didn't like Halo 5. I mostly played warzone and warzone firefight as time wasters, but I was never happy with the state of the game, and I never liked how my armor looked because I was stuck with the Mk VI and then Mk IV because I never got anything that I liked.
However, I do genuinely like Halo Infinite. I've been playing since the public flights. But holy shit this is easily the most hap-hazard feeling halo game. While the campaign is good, it is unfinished. There are glaring areas with cut content.
The management. We were promised transparency, and they just lied to us and when we called them on it they went radio silent. And even when we got the leadership shakeup during the winter update, they were already sacrificing things to reach "seasonality". Then we hit season 5. Even though the flood stuff was cool for people who liked it, the lack of a central theme in the pass, and the transition from events to "operations" screamed that we were nearing the end. I hoped that maybe season 5 was like a "winter update 2" situation, but it wasn't.
The content/networking. The very end of season 4 with an actual themed gamemode with special maps, was peak Halo Infinite. Sure the story was gone, but Tenrai 4 was the moment where I was like "Finally THIS is where the game should have launched" And I was looking up. We've only now gotten the networking improvements when the game feels almost dead. We've lost seasons, BTB finally got an update but its too little too late for me. Events are dead again (even yappening isn't close to those two weeks of tenrai 4), they aren't even changing the background art anymore like they did last season. Frankly, I don't see new modes being added either, much less finally getting new sandbox items.
Shop prices. The final nail in the coffin. They are increasing the prices because less people are spending money on the game, but they are trying to justify paying for getting these last few things done. Xbox, 343, whoever is making the shop decisions, is putting the squeeze on their whales to get every cent.
I was hopeful that Halo Infinite might attempt a relaunch. I know that isn't happening. Even though I liked Halo 4, MCC's launch, Halo 5, and now Infinite leaves me with little hope for whatever is next for Halo. I'm not going to bother sticking around for its launch. If it isn't launching in a similar state to how Infinite is now, I'm dropping the series.
New network = 350-400 ping most games. I have never had it that high ever! I live in NZ but still com on guys.
343 😞 you doomed us all
It made the game unplayable for me, I get random spike frame drops to below 15fps. Shit never happened before the update for me and Infinite is so dead I can't find anyone with the same issue.
As a PVE fan, I really love the yappening, but I'm a casual. The battle pass is dogshit though. I really miss when Halo was a MILITARY scifi shooter, not all this rainbows and weapon charms. But at least Niki Minaj isn't a playable character.
90 percent store update 😂
Hold me.
I think the drought is here, just hoping it's not another 2+ years before we get anything new
painnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn@@BBKDRAGOON
Reach Gruntpacoplyse is so much better
friendly reminder that in 2021 343 blamed the fans, us for not liking the game. never forget their vitriol towards us.
Hot Take: Halo Infinite never got better, the community just managed to get dumber somehow.
Easy Anti Cheat more like Easy Game Won't start. There's a growing number of us who can no longer start the game.
no matter what HALO is still the best all around FPS game there is, I dont get why more people dont play it
I genuinely feel sorry for core Halo fans. Xbox and 343 have seemingly treated the fans with absolute contempt.
They aren't even producing new content, but they wanna pump out $20 or whatever skins?
At least other live service titles give players new content to play while trying to milk their wallets.
I don't really think it's hate but rather indifference. These new cosmetics are pretty much just signs that they're just recouperating from their losses.
Also with how much the fanbases hated 343i even back when they were trying (Not criticism mind you, just pure hatred of anything with a 343i logo. Trust there are actually people like that). I'll chalk this up microsoft just not wanting to bother with Halo fans anymore.
There’s loads of new content just not in this update what else dose the game actually need it’s got infection firefight btb loads of other small modes loads of maps sure it could do with more but the game isn’t dry like 2021 anymore
It's not an update it's an event
But it's a weak one
I’ve grown tiresome of this cycle of Paywalled armor and filler passes of minimal worth.
So much great content that should be earned through progression based challenges…. Is instead something you have to pay for.
That godforsaken store remains Infinites greatest mistake rivaled only by the busted SBMM.
I decided to uninstall and go back to mcc today
It’s just embarrassing at this point. Game is a step away from being a mobile game. They’re just desecrating the Halo name.
Removing Firefight for ONLY GRUNTS 🤮💀🤮
First!
cheers!
