Halo Infinite | Winter Update : New Battle Pass, New Maps, New Modes, Forged Beta

Had so much potential but has sadly underwhelmed at evey turn. I'm hoping someone somewhere has a great Halo game in development 🙏
 
That will be a craaaazy week! Got Halo Update and Sonic Nov 8th, next day is Ragnarok on the 9th and then Wakanda Forever on the 11th. Amazing...amazing!

I've been holding off on the campaign for just this reason.

That Forge mode is hectic.
Cant wait to see what the community creates.
 
We knew all this already, but nice to see it all packed in one video.
Hope the new leadership turns this around and we start seeing content come in a quicker pace. They are playing the long game, but the pace is too slow right now.

I play a bit almost every day mostly in BTB Fiesta aka BTB Social
 
I think my problem is it doesnt play like Halo Rrach I preferred Halo reach special powers or whatever you call them, this type of gameplay feels like a step back.
 
Lol here comes the I'm a halo fan form ten years ago franchise shitty shitty post don't care for it but I'm intimidated by a franchise that lives rent free in my head brigade. Hopefully they keep up the consistency from now on and start delivering great updates.

I'm not sure why you think an Halo fan wouldn't be disappointed with how Infinite has been handled before and after launch 🤔 when you say "keep up" what does that mean? Surely this is the only worthwhile update they'll have delivered since launch? The others have been rather lackluster?

I think he'd expect a halo fan to watch the 12 minute long video then comment on the content of the video BEFORE re-treading old talking points that have been done to death on this forum.

Thoughts about Forge? Campaign co-op implementation?
 
Match xp beta......
Fuck off 343 fuck right off u incompetent fucks.
How they massacred my halo.
Microsoft should just shut down the studio appologise to the fans and hand over halo to id software or treyarch.

Exactly what i said, the only worthwhile update since launch, did you read my post?
 
What an update, happy to see they've finally got most of the stuff that should have been available at launch. Finished the campaign back then, but I'll go through it again in co-op with friends now.

There's a difference between the people that are disappointed about the rollout of content and are doing constructive criticism and the people that are just shit posting who aren't even fans or own an Xbox just to shit on the game.

Yeah what the fuck is that about lol.

My guess is revamped xp system but weird to revamp it with a beta system.

It replaces the current challenge system that has you at times not playing in the interest of your team. It's a better system in a way because doing better gets you more XP instead of just joining a game and going AFK or playing a certain way to complete a challenge.

It's in beta and is part of this free Battlepass because they didn't want people to have to pay for something they are testing to replace the current system.

I think it's a welcome change, but we'll see how it works out.

If I recall correctly, dont you have infinite time to complete a battle pass? I actually think they said that you could complete stuff at your own pace.
 
So how is the community going to be able to play forge stuff with no custom browser? And all this will be for nothing if they don't fix the server issues.

Yup. Still true that you can basically switch battlepasses to complete at your leisure.
Besides the Battlepass, there are still weeklies to get rewards, thus the challenges. I think this will make it so that you aren't pigeonholed to playing certain modes since it will be XP based and not challenge based.

I think that's why they have the free season, so that they can figure out the best way going forward.
There was some truly annoying challenges that I would almost autoswap when I saw them. The melee from behind challenge for example was one of them. I assume that they'll get rid of challenge swaps if they completely switch over, but that's tbd for now.

For GaaS people come and go if the new mode is popular enough or forge leads to maps/modes people care about people could return. Especially if influencers (specifically Twitch streamers) play it.

Customs browser will arrive in season 3 early next year.

As a workaround for Xbox (maybe PC too?) people will be making LFG's until then.
 
as long as weekly challenges are in the game I will not reinstall. getting Xp for matches won't solve the issue that people ruin matches by leaving or griefing to complete challenges

Forge Beta does not include the necessary custom games browser. Custom Games are also still broken. You can make a 1,000 maps, but the inability to discover them or easily play them means it'll be the next update - March 2023 - that stands a chance of reviving the game through community made content.

I'm calling it now, it'll never make a come back, it's dead in the water.

Perhaps the spinoff that is being developed by Certain Affinity will turn things around though somewhat, hopefully it's true they are using UE5, cos the Slipspace engine is garbage.

Why did you feel it was a turd? I loved the gameplay of the SP and MP. Story was good, just a shame there was no co-op. Multiplayer was just lacking content, and forge mode. But to call it a turd... That's ridiculous.

I didn't like the classes. Many of the abilities are achieved through pickups anyway Ziplines can get way crazier than jetpacks. Reflecting a spanker rocket back into a scrubs face is hilarious.

Some of the gameplay of the campaign was fine albeit highly repetitive and uninspired, but the vehicles were awful and navigating the terrain, terrible. Never tried the mp, it looked like a bare bones version of something I played a decade ago. Don't get me started on how boring, safe, short and badly written the campaign was, where was the game they showed in the first trailer? It wasn't 1% of that...I get seriously pissed off how lame every game 343 have made, they should've been shuttered after the lackluster Halo 5 imho.
 
Forge looks incredible. I wish it would have been available at launch. That would have been a game changer.

Hopefully the community can save this game.
