      By the time you get to Halo Infinite, there'll probably be season 3. It includes the custom games browser which will make the best gameplay ever in the series. Also read a book or two if you're that type of person.

    Oh bit of an update you might wanna know if you dont already, 343 in an interview with ign confirmed that split screen is NOT cancelled, just shelved, and theres a lot of hints in what he says that after they have more manpower not dedicated to damage control, they'll finish off the 20% left for split screen. No promises made, but it really sounds like that will come eventually.

    im tired of people saying 343 have finally done it or have brought halo back now. This game still has less features than halo reach had at launch. 343 hasnt done anything but fuck w halo for over a decade. All they did was give us the tools so that we can make like thanos and "do it ourself"

    One of the MP leads mentioned Action Sack was gonna be a more Forge focused playlist, and on controller at least there are different control schemes. Even one that mimics Reach's own.

    I am a bit salty they removed Bot Bootcamp. It was a great way to grind through the more tedious parts of the battle passes. But I can see how removing this feature can funnel unskilled players (me) into the actual game where enemies will never act the way bots do anyways.

    Bot Bootcamp's removal will likely mean I'll play a lot less. It's pretty much the only way I could find a game in the morning in Australia. I found 1 game of BTB in 1 hour this morning even though it said the wait time was 45 seconds. I just went and played in training mode for 0XP.

    I'm really not sure the winter update has changed much for me on a daily basis. I really don't like either of the new maps which is fine, because they hardly show up in matchmaking. Progression is better for sure but it's a long way from being finished. The 30 tier battle pass was over for me without even really trying so I think they have some tuning to do on XP rewards. Mucking around in forge is fun and all the stuff people have been making is incredible. The winter update is a decent update but let's keep grounded....there's long way to go yet

      Honestly I give you mad props for watching the Vid. That was a cool gesture. It’s more about what Halo was, and sadly will never be. Although the video was made by someone literally half my age. All these elements are now absent from the current game. If your a younger player and you enjoy it. Then very cool, have fun and “you do you” don’t let other’s opinions: including my own turn you away from something you enjoy. But halo 1 launched in 2001 and some of use older bucks were there to experience all the majesty and glory when it felt fresh and exciting. 20 plus years later and with a chain of disappointing releases. It’s to little to late. BTW forge was always cool since
      2007 when it launched in Halo 3 alongside the games release

    Iv played this game a fair bit now and honestly it doesn't feel that good to play even when I'm having a good game the maps are just so crap the atmosphere is dead and the maps don't even look good either and there's no map voting it doesn't even feel like an halo game and what ever they done to that battle rifle fuck my life if the game loads me in with that I don't even want to play it takes forever to kill someone now so much so the right side of my hand is killing me and I didn't even find it over powered before they nerfed it I want to like halo but since 343 start making them I can't even enjoy them the power weapons ain't even that good I remember shot guns one shot kill and jumping around with a sword etc but now it's just people driving a vehicle or sat together shooting across the maps at you with a rifle or sniper it's so boring some maps feel too big and some are just symmetrical boring arse maps I remember halo reach where you had maps like countdown which had 2 floors and maps like reflections where everyone would fight to be at the top of the elevator and another they took assassinations out of the game it just doesn't feel like halo anymore
