Thread 718281554

Why do people unironically have such an undying hate boner for this game ? i have fun in Squad Battle and Quick Play (assuming I dont get matched against sweaty players), is it just normal to hate video games now, even if you havent even played them ? help me understand.

>>718281554 (OP)
Kill yourself

Never played it

Game's story became total shit after halo 3

Now it's just a "generic shooter".

>>718281554 (OP)
It's fucking shit. Hope this helps.

>>718281681
why is it shit, what specifically about the game bothers you to such an extent that you dislike it ? if you cant name one reason im just going to assume you have not even played it

>>718281554 (OP)
black bald "woman"

>>718281554 (OP)
For a flagship Xbox title it's horribly unstable last I played it. Like the matchmaking just stopped working half the time with no maintenance happening or anything.

>>718281554 (OP)
1. It was shit for the first two years it was out.
2. It was and still is a live service game where they don't add new content.
3. It has none of the social features of the old games, it splits players after every game instead of letting you choose to party up.
4. The eshop and battle pass monetizes customization or makes it a grindfest, something that used to be part of the game.
5. I enjoyed my time with the game, but by the time it finally had forge mode, it was just so long that I didn't care. Now I couldn't play it even if I wanted to because of the anticheat.
6. The matchmaking categories are retarded. You can't just play SWAT, you get to play SWAT maybe 1 in 4 games in the precision slayer playlist.
7. I can't choose what I want to play like in MCC, and more of my friends play MCC, so I play MCC.

You first, sweaty.

>>718281554 (OP)
BTB was broken for four months of launch. And they decided to do seasons without adding maps beyond 1-2 every like six months.

Fuck it.

>>718281554 (OP)
Open world Halo fucking blows, it's boring as shit. The main "levels" were half assed and the side content was literal ubisoft toil. They added a grappling hook, but nothing to hook onto so traversing the map with it is tedious. Also there was no co-op when I played it.

>>718281919
where ? i havent even noticed it, everyone is wearing a fucking helmet in the game ? trailers dont count because its retarded marketing
>>718281953
not as big of an issue now, I don't really lag but then again I have a wired connection
>>718281978
I wont deny the barebones launch, but right now I am enjoying the game and they still add shit to the game so people still are playing it even if doesn't do Call of Duty numbers, the microtransactions are annoying though il lgive you that, also there is no precision slayer, its literally just check box of mode you want to play, at least now it is
>>718282071
I didn't care for the Campaign either, but im moreso talking about Multiplayer

>>718281554 (OP)
I played it, campaign was absolute dogshit. The hole game released as bare ones as it could get. Multiplayer focus was micro transactions and waste everyone's time. Mecanically was a watered down halo, missing a lot of variety and options.

Never played since, if they can't get out the content Bungie did almost 20 years ago on release they can fuck off.

>>718281808
Everyone played it, it was free. It’s ass you retard. It had fewer features at launch than Halo 3 and it looked like ass on top of it. Also the story has been absolutely fucking ruined by 343. Zero anti cheat at all in the game too. Full of fucking mircotransactions for zoomer dopamine hits. Made the weapons ugly as fuck. GARBAGE.

The multiplayer could have had a stable playerbase if it had today's content on release, but it was so barebones that people naturally just stopped playing. It kinda sucks since it was actually pretty fun but them's the breaks when you prioritize battle passes and armor you have to pay for
The campaign is dogshit and the weapon is a terrible character

>>718282241
>>718282267
i dont deny the launch was shit, should of had more modes, but I really dont understand why zoomers get so assblasted about that and wont ever come back to a game, im convinced you faggots will only play popular games

>>718282356
Not either of them, I enjoyed my time with it for the first year it was out. I kept up with the news for a while on the game until I accepted that it will never be the game I want, which is Halo 3.

>>718282356
Infinite doesn't make me rage at the thought of it, but think about it from the perspective of someone who grew up playing Halo. 343 has owned the IP longer than Bungie has at this point, and every game they've released has been dogwater. Infinite was shaping up to be the return to form we finally wanted, but they made the multiplayer F2P and focused more on monetization than launch content
Infinite itself may not be an awful game now, but their handling of its release permanently killed the playerbase and I think people are finally done with them

>>718282356
The only people playing this are zoomers. I am not one. Old fags don’t play this weekly challenge, battle pass, micro transaction clicker tier shit that zoomers were groomed on. Hop on MCC and it’s nearly dead even with modded custom games, young people avoid the older games. Although MCC also released in a 343 state. Thanks Bonnie Ross useless twat, the only good thing about Infijeet was that it ended her career.

>>718282805
ive been playing since Reach way back when I was in Middle School, I guess if you are one of the older players who prefer the Original Trilogy id be more understanding, but it feels like kids these days only want to play shit like Fortnite or Apex and will completely disregard everything less popular, the release was shit, i wont deny that, you cant just have 4 multiplayer game modes and 6 maps and expect people to be happy, but it feels like so many people are tiktok brained so people like me are left playing with casuals and Mexicans on Infinite

>>718282356
I played the game already, and it was dogshit. What you don't get is that I have 4 halos better on every sense with active players everyday.

Plus I don't like turning games into shops. Those "zoomers" you mention are 30-40 years old and were used to games made to have fun. The hole campaign of infinite after the disaster of 5 was a last desperate return to the halo formula. The game (not even an alpha) fall way short at all levels

>>718281554 (OP)
I was a die hard player for about 2 years. Campaign was okay, but the multiplayer is phenomenal. Completed every single weekly challenge. There are 3 things that killed it for me, and it was all pretty much in one fell swoop
>Weekly rewards were now turned into currency for a shop
Now instead of a color skin, emblem, or whatever. I get a few spartan points every week to maybe spend on a shop that refreshes every few weeks. There were a lot of times that I couldn't get anything, because I had earned most of the rewards from the shop from playing every week for 2 years. What was new was extremely expensive.
>Dedicated Swat playlist was removed
Pretty much the only thing I played because I had no one else to play with. Easily my favorite game mode. Only time I would play something else is if a challenge was easier to complete elsewhere
>Match Composer was added
In theory a match composer is a great idea. Just checkmark each game modes you're willing to play. Problem is that suddenly it took well over 5 minutes to find a single match of Swat, when it took less than a minute when it had a dedicated playlist.

I had no problems with the multiplayer up until that point. I didn't even have an issue with skill based matchmaking. It's my second most played game on steam. I haven't touched it in ages.
>is it just normal to hate video games now, even if you haven't even played them ?
Yes. Even when they do play it, they complain there wasn't enough content or that it was too easy, despite never engaging with the post game or any post release content. The internet as a whole has become an extremely miserable place where you're not allowed to enjoy anything without someone insisting on joining the conversation just to repeatedly tell you how much they hate whatever it is you're enjoying. It's best to just enjoy games by yourself or with your group of friends.

>>718281554 (OP)
I think I got 45 hours out of multiplayer before Firefight dropped. It's probably more now. I haven't played in a while and don't have it installed anymore. I have MCC installed

>>718281554 (OP)
It is the best game of that era, so PC and Snoys mald.

>>718281554 (OP)
>i have fun in Squad Battle and Quick Play (assuming I dont get matched against sweaty players), is it just normal to hate video games now, even if you havent even played them ? help me understand.

Wow. How's the actual game though? You know, the campaign?

>>718283264
also finished the campaign once on Heroic and got most of the trinkets/all bases/killed all the HVTs

>>718283235
>Completed every single weekly challenge
See, this is who the game was designed for. The older games you made your own fun with friends and randos. Nowadays people are baited with these weekly challenges meant to keep a subscription to game pass and hook you on some lame ass repetitive challenge every fucking week. They absolutely destroyed Forza with that shit too. Weekly challenges are for the mentally challenged.

>>718283235
>In theory a match composer is a great idea. Just checkmark each game modes you're willing to play. Problem is that suddenly it took well over 5 minutes to find a single match of Swat, when it took less than a minute when it had a dedicated playlist.
I agree with that, I only really remove a checkbox for modes that are absolute coal like Neutral Bomb, but if you just wanted to play one thing youd probably be waiting like over 5 mins and that sucks
>The internet as a whole has become an extremely miserable place where you're not allowed to enjoy anything without someone insisting on joining the conversation just to repeatedly tell you how much they hate whatever it is you're enjoying.

right on the money here, the internet sucks now more then ever not just even with Vidya but with literally everything
>>718283294
>Wow. How's the actual game though? You know, the campaign?
I will never understand Campaign-only fags but yes ill admit the Campaign sucks and the story has been shit since Halo 4

>>718282191
>where ?
Laurette Agryna

he's in the MP

Good bait.

Halo was never good.

The main reason I quit was because I found out people were using shit like reWASD to get controller aim on PC and I finally understood how people with almost no game sense were getting these crazy consistent shots on mnk, and that it was way more common than I initially expected. I ended up trying it myself and was so disgusted I couldn't bring myself to play anymore. Yeah yeah call me a shitter or whatever, yes, I'm shit at FPS, that's cool, I still don't wanna play a halo game with people who have controller bullet magnetism on a mouse.

>>718283235
>Yes. Even when they do play it, they complain there wasn't enough content or that it was too easy, despite never engaging with the post game or any post release content.

So
>Play game.
>Game is shit
>Nooooo, you need to wait 3 years for the true content
Fuck off, delay the game then. That argument it's bullshit and you know it. Plus what if people just don't like infinite? If you enjoy it good, that's the point of the game, find other people that do. But don't cry if a majority doesn't think like you.

PD: the hole reward system is retarded and it's sole purpose is to maximize the money you invest on the game. Old halos you just needed to play the fucking games to progress and unlock stuff, you know, the objectives were right in the rules of the game and not some arbitrary season bullshit.

>>718281978
>6. The matchmaking categories are retarded. You can't just play SWAT, you get to play SWAT maybe 1 in 4 games in the precision slayer playlist.
>7. I can't choose what I want to play like in MCC, and more of my friends play MCC, so I play MCC.
They changed it, you can go to a specific playlist and select what modes you want to matchmake out of the whole category. It's how I get only Gruntpocalypse/Fiesta matches in Firefight.

>>718281554 (OP)
343 has now owned the Halo IP longer then Bungie and still has yet to make a good Halo game. That's why everyone who still care about Halo also hates 343.

>>718284328
>That argument it's bullshit and you know it.
I don't see how it's bullshit. OP asked a general question about video games, so I gave a general answer to his question. I wasn't talking about any game in particular and you were the one who decided that the game in my scenarios are shit. Even if a game is good, a ton of people won't play past the main campaign. If the campaign is short, but it has excellent replayability. They'll complain. If the campaign was easy, they'll complain but never even bother playing the post-game that has much harder content. Just because a game get's post launch support, doesn't automatically mean the base game is lacking in content.

>Plus what if people just don't like infinite?
Okay, then move on. That's totally fine, but there's no reason for people who don't play the game to force themselves into every single conversation just to tell everyone else how much they hate the game. I'm not saying they're not allowed to voice their opinion, but they shouldn't ruin other people's fun just because they're self absorbed assholes who hate the product or demand attention. I'm simply stating the reality of how any video game is discussed nowadays.

>>718281554 (OP)
Campaign is hated by Halo 4/5 trannies, no reason to waste your time with them, they eat AAA slop. The campaign is also hated by people that call it Far Cry, while it does take from nuFar Cry, it does feel like a faster version of Halo. Everyone else was pissed that the campaign expansion sequel got canned because of 343's corporate incompetence. The rest of the hate is rightfully for the multiplayer. Don't really need to say anything about that, everyone else can explain the MP hate. Singleplayer campaign had potential if they didn't cut everything and came up with worse solutions than Bungie to band-aid fix it.

>>718283404
>I will never understand Campaign-only fags but yes ill admit the Campaign sucks and the story has been shit since Halo 4
Not him but I don't understand you multiplayerfags. How the hell can you still play Halo multiplayer when they removed the female Spartan bodies, have those annoying ass AI voices, has that black baboon-looking thing from the MP story, has a story in MP in the first place, is esports slop, is nothing but a lack of content and care trying to get you to spend money on their shitty store. You're either braindead or retarded to still be playing Halo multiplayer which add all kinds of woke crap in it now when you boot up the shitty multiplayer. It's not 2004 or 2007 anymore. If you don't just play Halo for the campaign now, you're a dumbass. Glad they're finally separating this shit into their own games in UE.

>>718281554 (OP)
I don't get it either, the online is fun as fuck.

Is there any point in playing ranked? I wanted to get good at the game but damn there are very few ranked maps, I feel like I'm missing out on 90% of the game that way.

You don't need faggots on /v/ to like the game to enjoy it anon, just play it if you like it, have fun with it, you know for sure they're playing and liking games that are way worse but hating halo is what's hip with the kids now, who gives a shit? There are more than enough players.

Open world is always bad
>but what about that one time when it--
Always, 100%.

The multiplayer is fine but nothing that keeps me around. I appreciate that you can finish battle passes either on release or years later.

>>718286527
I never bothered with it because it always goes through a rank reset and then they swap out game modes. At least that's how it was when I played a years ago,

>>718287514
Yeah that's kinda what I figured, they reset it like every month and a half so it sounds like wasted effort.

>>718281554 (OP)
The guns suck too bad. I uninstalled in like an hour.

Halo Infinite is fun now, the main problems were that the campaign was poorly directed in that tons of people were aimlessly working on shit without a clue on how it'd contribute to the final product, leaving an ungodly amount of stuff on the cutting room floor. And 343 horrifically dropped the ball when it came to post launch support originally, it's in a good spot now, but that first year was genuinely abysmal. Not even by the standards of live service games, but by multiplayer games even during the 360 era.

>>718281554 (OP)
The multi-player is pretty good, but after playing BR shooters for years, playing a map over and over again with the same strategies, angles and weapons, starts to feel really repetitive after a couple of dozens of hours.

The campaign is the best if we are talking gameplay wise, but unfortunately 343 drank the open world kool-aid and it ended up having less environmental diversity than freaking CE, and that game is more than 20 years old.

Story is a mess like always, I don't even know if you had to read a book or play one of those strategy games before Infinite and I don't care, but at least the Weapon is cute

>>718282356
>why zoomers get so assblasted
We all know the whole negativity for Halo comes from loser Mountain Dew Millenials that are a complete failure and fantasize about being teenagers in 2007 again

>>718288451
>I don't even know if you had to read a book
Halo is a book series at this point and not a video game series. Everything happens in the books. Biggest fucking sin a fucking video game developer/publisher can make.

>>718288543
Can't argue with this, there are retards actually shitting on the campaign while actively defending a multiplayer that forcefully gives you tranny flags and makes you care about all these woke holidays for free. I don't know what's wrong with 7th gen multiplayer flags, that was already enough to make me drop multiplayer shit, but I was never into that crap anyways.

At one point cortana says, "I'm sure you smell good." to chief. I dropped the game.

>>718288718
Are you retarded?

>>718281554 (OP)
I only played the campaign and it was mid to the max, I thought it was going to be over three separate times but it just kept going and I dropped it because its very repetitive. Also the story was aggressively gay soap opera shit, it alternated between a whiny spic crying every time he was on the screen and a gorilla villian shit talking you. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea.

>>718288543
My life is alright but I do fantasize about being a teenager in 2007 constantly. Halo is really the only online shooter I enjoy and that's why I'm still here, other than Hell Let Loose but that's a completely different beast.

>>718288889
I'm glad Bonnie, Kiki, and mostly everyone that made Infinite got fired.

>>718289226
No, 3/4ths of the studio is still intact. All they did was change the name on the building. The guy who called the guy a retard who made a video about the hit detection issues in Halo 3 (which are still present in MCC) still works at the company, among other problematic employees. Thing is, the developers actually resent the people who play their games.

>>718289586
I really couldn't give a shit, Halo's multiplayer is dead no matter what, I'm happier that campaign can no longer be dragged down by it and they can take from singleplayer FPS shooters now with the campaigns. CE remake could have a lot of cut OG CE content along with cut Infinite campaign content.

>>718289775
>campaign can no longer be dragged down
lol
>they can take from singleplayer FPS shooters now with the campaigns.
lmao even

It's 343i anon, they aren't ever going to make good decisions with this IP.

>>718290149
Halo Studios aren't even making the games anymore, singleplayer games nor the multiplayer games, they're just leading them. Third parties are making the Halo games now.

>>718290340
Frankly its probably for the best. They would bring in people from time to time that do have passion for Halo with Infinite, but they'd get the boot either due to Microsoft's contractor policy or they'd walk away super burned out after Infinite's hellish development.

>>718290340
>>718291216
Nothing perfectly highlights how badly 343/HS fucked up when Helldivers 2 implying ODSTs and Fortnite having lanky female generic Spartans suddenly got people talking a lot about Halo for a bit. Infinite is like a lead weight around the series' ankle, there's nothing interesting about it if you're not already a player, and nothing drawing new people in.

>>718290340
That is literally the best and most surprising news I've heard about halo in over a decade, and it's probably the first time since then that I can say the news might actually be good. I want another ODST game.

>>718292149
The closest you're probably gonna get for now is the ODST collab that Helldivers 2 just teased us with a few days ago

>>718293490
Yeah, I'm guessing the current plan for Halo Studios is a Halo CE remake with a Halo MP beta in 2026, Halo 7 with the final build Halo MP in 2027, Halo 2 remake in 2028, Halo 8 in 2029, Halo 3 remake in 2030, and Halo 9 in 2031. It's probably going to be in some UE Halo launcher that holds all the UE Halo games all taking assets from Project Foundry.

>>718281554 (OP)
it sucks they don't fix it and add gay cosmetics
