At its core this is still fun but damn I hate this releasing a half finished game s***

Yeah this a live service game. So dlc is sure to come. There's so much in used or scrapped content that data miners and moddera have found in the game already

mm was halo gameplay not initially designed for mac, then PC, THEN ported to controller later as an afterthought? could be wrong

the kb+m feels like ass because they deliberately added frames of delay to compensate for the input gap.

Jason article about the development of halo infinite

By the summer of 2019, Halo Infinite was in crisis mode. The studio decided to cut almost two-thirds of the entire planned game, leaving managers to instruct some designers to come to the office and do nothing while the studio figured out the next move. Eventually the game’s open world was cut back from a vast, Zelda-like experience into something far smaller. It soon become clear to some on the team that, even with the compromises, getting Halo Infinite into decent shape by the following fall would be impossible. Still, the timing of the release didn’t seem up for discussion. Microsoft told 343 that it had to be a launch game for the next Xbox, which meant releasing it in November 2020.

"Video games are built using software tools called gaming engines. The engine used to build Halo was one that 343 had based largely on old code from Bungie. Parts of the engine, a set of tools called Faber, became infamous at the studio for being buggy and difficult to use. Within engineering, there’s a concept known as “tech debt,” which refers to problems one puts up with because the previous programmers of a system chose quick, easy solutions over more sustainable ones. Faber’s code, some of which dated to the early 2000s, had so much debt that some 343 engineers mockingly referred to its “tech bankruptcy.”

The staffing at 343 was also unstable, partially because of its heavy reliance on contract workers, who made up almost half the staff by some estimates. Microsoft restricts contractors from staying in their jobs for more than 18 months, which meant steady attrition at 343.

Halo Infinite’s creative direction was also in flux until unusually late in its development. Several developers described 343 as a company split into fiefdoms, with every team jockeying for resources and making conflicting decisions. One developer describes the process as “four to five games being developed simultaneously.”

This is why 343 is always super hated lol. But I'm glad they turned ship

2/3 of the game cut

What the f*** were they trying to do?

Puff piece

the only botched thing about multiplayer is content and cosmetics. Polish and gameplay is handled well

these things dont apply to campaign and campaign have been getting great reviews so its no reason to be extra cautious

you can beat the campaign in regular halo time. the open world is also not large by any stretch compared to the game you mentioned. Also there is ability progression and progression via FOB's so this simply isn't true

niggas in here are clearly not researched with the s*** im hearing

i saw the skill trees and the map, it doesnt look appealing to me

the thought of clearing outposts and that in a halo game with marginal upgrades seems boring i like the escaltion of a regular halo campaign mixed with the diversity of locations (been playing MCC recenlty

also i didnt say the world was particularly large at all, i said the movement seems less fun to me in terms of open world games

BRO even on ranked mfs don't play the objective like that IDGI mfs don't stay in pack or nothing

they aren't making anyone do the outpost . You can still just go from mission to mission and apparently the grappling hook has enabled the game to have one of the most fun traversals based on what people who played it are saying

yea im a hater the MTX have me heated, crazy

Bro shut your bootlicking b**** ass up all you do is come here gargling 343 d*** like its your job.

All me and my friends have ever played is TS since halo 2, all the objective modes in matchmaking have been separate.

Same with any other fps ppl want deathmatch not f***ing ctf or king of the hill s***. Thats why those modes always have less players playin, that s*** is wack.

Just stfu if you like the game go play it b**** quit worrying about how other people feel about it you f***ing d*** eater.

Blocked that dumbass.

Ooooh we getting sensitive itt

1v1 on ktt needed pronto

Just jokes, all love

I want a console solely to run some fades

I uninstalled, he can have the w he sounds like he needs a w in life.

damnnn bro wrote me a novel then blocked me… legendary

that infographic with the download sizes literally says multiplayer update

i’m not expecting new content but maybe some stability / UI fixes would be nice
