Man I just want infection as a game mode again

Anreall2000 · 2021-12-31T11:42:16+00:00

The main problem is BTB doesn't work

TrumpdUP · 2021-12-31T11:45:04+00:00

The lack of maps AND no forge mode to compensate is what got me. I’ve just been playing 1 match a day for the winter stuff and that may go down to 1 or 2 times a week after. Fun gameplay but so barebones.

Trimere · 2021-12-31T10:55:41+00:00

I mean, TF2 is a hat simulator and is successful so maybe they thought it would work for them too.

LedudeMax · 2021-12-31T13:08:13+00:00

Wasn't infinite supposed to have something like custom map creator ? Not sure where I heard that from

ChaoticIzual · 2021-12-31T13:03:04+00:00

Firefight, Spartan ops or warzone firefight....

Kenshigo · 2021-12-31T15:07:37+00:00

isn´t it worse that the Halo community was one of the loudest when it came to microtransactions and then stormed the store to buy freaking cat ears?

edit: yes, overpriced! cat ears.

riptide0009 · 2021-12-31T14:59:54+00:00

Yea my buddies were really nostalgic the first couple weeks, all went to high diamond in ranked and then it just started to fizzle.

Full game released was the exact same as the preview, menu UI is still bad, no armor or in game rewards for skill or playtime achievements.

Limited game modes, limited maps. Doubt we’ll play it again even though we were addicted to halo 3 and reach.

DeusVultGaming · 2021-12-31T14:29:28+00:00

Honestly if the cosmetic items that they were trying to sell were just stuff like cat ears, I wouldn’t have a problem with it, because that really is just a cosmetic item and has never been in a Halo title.

But instead everything costs money, i cant even choose the color of my damn spartan, i have to fucking buy the color swatch and that will maybe have the colors that i want on other pieces of armor. And speaking of armor, you have to buy that too. New shoulder pads $. New helmet $. Oh, it doesn’t march your armor core??? Fuck you give money.

Add on to that that Halo was another AAA title released in 2021 which clearly wasn’t finished in the way that an AAA title should be, and you can see why so many people have just stopped playing compared to previous Halo titles

castleaagh · 2021-12-31T12:35:42+00:00

Wow its almost like live service shit harms games and the reputation of the devs if they were previously good, shame the industry doesn't learn that

NeedsPraxis · 2021-12-31T08:39:42+00:00

The sad part is that Halo: MCC offers a huge amount of cosmetic content for no additional cost. I actually really like Halo: Infinite, but seeing virtually all meaningful cosmetic content gated behind paywalls is unfortunate.

With that said: I have faith that more game modes are coming, and I think we're already seeing progress on that front. It's a new game, and it went through development hell. I think what matters most is that the core of the game is solid, and Infinite's core gameplay is fantastic. I just really wish more cosmetics were gated behind achievements, progress, or even just free random drops, rather than through cash purchases.

Dispositionpsn · 2021-12-31T08:06:44+00:00

Is there really cat ears in this game?

Far_Lavishness5377 · 2021-12-31T14:14:47+00:00

I can't imagine the devs are the ones pushing this but it is instead the suits who aren't even remotely in touch with the community.

Crissagrym · 2021-12-31T08:08:43+00:00

Are they making money though?

As a “Freemium” game, there will always be people unhappy about the monetisation, and these people will leave.

But that is OK, because these people are unlikely to pay for anything anyway, as long as there are still enough people playing to keep the paying players engaged, those free to play players can leave.

Unfortunately that is just how free games go.

Goldman250 · 2021-12-31T13:31:10+00:00

They added several game modes on the same day they put out the cat ears though? Tactical Slayer and Fiesta?

2021-12-31T14:15:31+00:00

The devs aren’t the issue. Chances are the issue is the execs

Krioniki · 2021-12-31T17:23:06+00:00

Ah yes, because the entire teams works on one cosmetic at a time.

fuzzynavel34 · 2021-12-31T13:58:19+00:00

To be fair they're probably on break during the holidays...

Ashe_SDMF · 2021-12-31T12:18:02+00:00

I desperately need rocket hog racing. STAT!

Still way better than the new Betafield

AwesomeX121189 · 2021-12-31T08:08:26+00:00

They just added all the modes everyone was asking for like 2 weeks ago. Also launched wi th that new BTB mode with the power seeds.

The game came out a month ago, expecting new maps this quickly especially during holidays is idiotic.

Pearcenator · 2021-12-31T13:55:48+00:00

Maybe I’m just too old, but why do people care about cosmetics again? I just play the game to have fun and create fun memories with buddies.

What am I missing? Why should I care about cat ears again?

blazinazn007 · 2021-12-31T13:15:01+00:00

As a new dad I'm just glad the campaign is fun (looking at you battlefield whatever number were on). Don't have the time or energy to deal with multiplayer anymore.

mmiller2023 · 2021-12-31T14:37:45+00:00

Im sure the MAAAAAAYYYYBE 18 redditors that really have stopped playing halo over cat ears are just really eating at 343 right now. They are shaking in their boots I tell ya. Terrified.

oxmiladyxo · 2021-12-31T16:51:02+00:00

At first glance I thought this was a meme trying to dig at Destiny’s PvP…but I guess Halo Infinite is doing the same thing? But didn’t it just come out? People are already asking for new maps and game modes for a game not even a month old?

LordMazzar · 2021-12-31T17:07:12+00:00

I mean, they did add FFA Slayer and ~~SWAT~~ Tactical Slayer and a separate Slayer only option. Still pretty bare bone I'll admit but that shows they're at least listening a little.

JaesopPop · 2021-12-31T18:27:49+00:00

The people making assets for cash shop nonsense probably aren’t the people who’d be making maps or game modes.

dat-nintend-boi · 2022-01-01T02:04:46+00:00

Ok this is kinda true but don’t expect new maps right when the game comes out

SpartanHamster9 · 2021-12-31T12:25:19+00:00

Free to play devs inevitably wind up only caring about the dolphins and whales. 343 just skipped the step where they pretend to care about the actual fans of the series and not just the addicts they've managed to rope in.

Umbran_scale · 2021-12-31T19:25:16+00:00

No co op campaign.

No Firefight.

No Forge.

No infection.

No dual wielding.

No playable Elites.

No Spartan Ops.

Lacking in creative maps.

Lacking in weapon variety.

lacking in modes.

Lacking in 'free' customisation

Terrible exp progression.

Overpriced shitty cosmetic store.

Over abundant hacking with no proper report feature.

And yet it's still somehow so much better than COD and Battlefield.

Man our standards have plummeted.
