Play Halo Infinite

>>718242795 (OP)
why

>>718242902
its a lot of fun !

I thought it died?

>>718243848
>>718243848
no! it is very much still alive

I gave it 3 years, it was finally in a decent state after 1 year then MS started laying off the contractors and moving core staff to other projects in years 2-3. Here infinite sits half dead just getting new cosmetics and community maps every 3 months.

>>718242795 (OP)
can i play as an elite?
no.
then i'm not playing.

It's annoying how close to being a good Halo it is but makes stupid changes and mistakes that show they're only desperately copying the bungie games without understanding them.
>no map voting
>no player collision so in close range enemies can phase through each other
>for the same reason allies can phase through you and block your shots
>voice chat off by default so even if you use a mic only others that manually turn on voice can hear you
>random vehicles in BTB
>matches have forced looked at player cosmetics instead of just starting the game
>also for cosmetics reasons teams don't have colors anymore but glows to reinforce the cosmetic market
>to fix no mix and match colors or armor they added new colors and armor that can mix that you also have to rebuy

Oh and I forgot about the fake Spartan and AI voices constantly playing to drown out real humans. You can turn off the spartans voices which also removes the announcer you actually want to hear and no setting can mute the quippy AI faggots.

How is the community?
Do people interact in matches or something? It's the only reason why I stick to any game but nowadays only TF2 seems to still have people talking to each other.

for me its fiesta slayer

>>718247520
No. The only people talking are in group chats with their friends. The game actively fights to keep you from talking to anyone in game.

>>718247481
Damn, I also forgot how the game doesn't let anyone talk pregame to each other, not even those in the same team and postgame everyone is split up completely so you don't even have the option of quickpartying with the people you enjoyed playing with. What a shitshow.

Halo Infinite was always fucked

>>718247781
That sucks.
Shame I always thought Halo was one of the few remaining franchises where players still interacted with one another.
Seemed like it when CE and 2 and 3 came out.

for me its cortana

>>718247520
some guy messaged me after the game telling me I did a good job
xbox boomers are cool

>>718242795 (OP)
I still want the end of the campaign.

this is what a dead game looks like
>inb4 halo isnt popular on pc
so explain why 260k infinite used to have are not playing? 2k for halo is beyond pathetic. this should be 20k stable MINIMUM.

or explain why mcc always has more players than infinite does?

>>718242795 (OP)
I still do, best halo MP to date (don't >me 3niggers). Best weapon sandbox available, almost every weapon feels viable or fun in some way. decent map variety. Unfortunately there are rarely people talking in voip, usually it's an xcuck with an open mic and smoke alarm beeping in the background. Also the xbox problem means games take forever to load/start

>>718242795 (OP)
>next gen sequel
>the thing that makes it next gen is the fact that dozens of features that used to work perfectly were removed for no reason
Why is it always like this?

>>718250818
the talented workers were chased out of this industry many years ago. its next gen in the literal sense that it is the next release.

>>718250806
>i need a million people to be playing something for me to play it and enjoy it
why? i play on pc and always find a match within seconds. isnt that what matters?

>>718242795 (OP)
NGL I've been on a bit of a gaming block lately where I don't wanna use my brain at all. Playing Firefight while listening to YouTube videos is pretty relaxing right now.

>>718251159
>firefight
is that the co op mode? why dont they have campaign co op ?

>>718251235
Its a basic 4-player coop vs hordes of enemies on MP maps (though some are a bit more like Workshop-tier L4D2 campaigns).

>Why don't they have campaign co-op?
Because they barely released it as barebones as it was and also they wanted it to run on Pedro's crusty Xbox One S with total feature parity with Next Gen.

man, they best rename that shit

>>718250413
Those were over a decade ago. The new shit is made by people that hated that era.

>open world
>"normies are totally going to eat this up"
>even normies dont want this trash

>>718253263
the linear missions suck ass, the open world and grappleshotting around it to encounters are the most enjoyable part of the campaign

>>718242795 (OP)
>5 years after planned release
>STILL no warzone firefight
yeah, nah mate
