Looks like Halo Infinite should drop December 8th. Anyone planning on picking it up? I've missed Halo for a while now. Hopefully this one is good.

it'll be on PC gamepass, so I'll give it a spin for sure.
gamepass has been great lately. Back 4 Blood and FH5 recently, well worth the sub. |

Been a long time since I've had time to game. But I crushed some noobs on various Halo games back in the day. Halo2 I think?

Already preordered it. Also picking up two TVs with HDR (finally) for my Series X consoles.

*released, not dropped.
I've already had it on preorder like I've done for Battlefield 2042. But I'm going to be bummed as there won't be a co-op until much later which absolutely sucks. And the grappling hook is going to do everything the whiners were complaining about with the jump jets and sprints, yet everyone on Waypoint that was crying or has cried about it are suddenly all okay with the grappling hook despite being the same map breakers. I'm a 152 on H5. Honestly I will probably go back to MCC and work on that rank and after finishing solo campaign and achievement hunting with what I can do in campaign only with Infinite. So unless they will introduce multiplayer game modes that disable the grapple or introduce the online co-op, I won't be going back until they do. |

It would be kind of great to see Halo take its throne back from CoD after all these years.

Just dusted off my Xbox one and started the download.
I haven't turned it on in 5 years |

Quoted: Same here. I wasn't expecting much after the let down of 4 and 5, but it's great so far. Played with a group of 8 IRL friends last night and wrecked shop View Quote |

the long respawn time is nice for really driving the tea bag home
|
|
oh man, i've played 3 nights in a row now, up to battlepass level 8.
it's glorious. it's going to be the best halo MP of all. it's not perfect, melee feels a bit weird/broken at times, especially with some clipping issues but it's soooo good so far. |
|
custom game are a ton of fun too
4-5 person free for all swords only with max speed and toggling gravity to max and minimum is fucking great |

Quoted: That sucks. You're the first person I've heard of having issues. Only issues I've had were a couple disconnects while searching for a game. My friends haven't had any other issues either. Hmm View Quote I googled it and there are a couple articles saying it’s common, but no real solution offered. I re verified files on steam, no luck. I reinstalled with no luck. Maybe they’ll patch in a fix. Otherwise, it cost me nothing so nbd. The game looks solid though. My friend crashes instantly. I make it to the first loading screen. |

Quoted: Got to platinum 4 in ranked. It's tough playing by yourself View Quote I found out you can change the fireteam settings, so you're not playing an entire team that's a party. You can change it so only 1 or 2 people are partied up, which helps, I think. I qualified Gold 3, and was getting peeved when I noticed this. People just don't seem to play the objective. I also found out you can change it so you're only playing people on controller, which is also nice. As for the game itself...I enjoy it, but it needs more content. Fiesta is a nice touch, but it definitely needs more. The last Halo FPS came out 6 years ago. Aside from the cycle of breaking and fixing the MCC, what was 343 doing the whole time? A dedicated mode for Slayer would be nice, since again, most people don't play the objectives. The other big beef I have is that the F2P mechanics are a bit much. I did buy the battle pass, but getting the same amount of XP regardless of whether you go 20 - 0 or 0 - 20 is just ridiculous. You get 50 XP for completing a game whether you win or lose. The challenges to get extra XP are a nuisance. What if I don't want to get 5 kills with the Commando? The gun sucks! XP payout should be based on your performance in - game. But hey, at least you can buy XP boosts. Yay. They need to get this resolved or they're going to have people doing the rubber band trick again. |

I really wish I enjoyed Halo. Never played xbox, always had PS. Been PC gaming the past two years and thought I would give it a try.......one hard pill to swallow. lol.

They've managed to fuck up the battlepass pretty spectacularly.
Core MP is solid and they can do a lot with it. Release as "Open Beta" is fine, but by adding the battlepass they raised expectations and fell pretty flat. Reddit is tearing them up. Gameplay is solid though. Figure after about three months of their playerbase screaming and 343 acting surprised they might have something good in place. |

I went and bought the premium battlepass, because I enjoyed the game so much. Once the honeymoon period ended, I realized there's just no content here. Fiesta was fun...but lasted a whole week. I can't see myself buying future battlepasses for this game, unless 343 really gets off their butts and makes something worth grinding for. The concern I have is that they're going to complain that since the basic game is "Free to play," charging money for additional maps is acceptable. Hopefully they aren't that inept. |

I've been ignoring this game up until the last couple days. The last Halo I played was 4, and I hated it. Gave up a couple hours in because it was more annoying than compelling.
I just started watching some reviews and "before you buy" videos and I have to say this is the first Halo campaign I've been excited to play since Reach. MP is usually a mode I only casually play now and then in Halo, so the campaign is what I'm most concerned about, and this one looks great with the open-world structure. I decided to order a copy to arrive tomorrow. It's kinda nice being excited about Halo again. I remember waiting in line for the midnight release of Halo 3. |

From the Steam reviews, it sounds like the progression system & microtransactions for every basic cosmetic item are the fly in the ointment of an otherwise good soup game. Though cosmetics don't matter where gameplay is concerned, the fact that the franchise is being so pervasively monetized makes me wonder where it's heading with this model.
SW: Battlefront caught mucho flak for doing this, so not sure why HALO should get a pass. |

I've had several "things that make you go hmmmm" deaths, but nothing overly crazy

Quoted: lol sorry team I want to be helpful but will be MIA 'cause I need ten kills with this stupid shotgun and I can only find one on this BTB map. I'll be camping some blind corner for half the match kthx. Not that the team really cares because winning doesn't matter right now. Asinine. View Quote That doesnt bother me so much. I did plenty of that in previous games. Winning a match with >15 KDA and getting the same XP as the clown on the losing team with -15 KDA is what bugs me. |
