FINALLY! thank you!

Hopefully Unreal Engine 5 will improve the game and content.

We need a new trailer for the next game at e3, as well as announcing at e3 that warzone and warzone firefight will be coming to infinite, as well as a battle royale mode. This will bring hype about the halo franchise, causing people to want to play something halo, and halo infinite will have this new and reprised content for everyone to hop on and try out, and hopefully it attracts good attention from streamers as well. We saw this happen with Fallout when the show came out. The show was good and there was tons of mainstream hype surrounding the fallout IP, and fallout 4 got a huge boost in players as a result.

Have you tried marvel rivals yet? Maybe play that, its more fun

Well said dude, I've been trying to reach Hero Rank since last year and I JUST now have reached the halfway point in Onyx

Hollowtide is the best Halo KZbinr. No click bait bullcrap. No rehashing the same information 15 times in the same video. Direct and to the point. No fluff talk, no artificially being excited about new forge maps. No nonsense.

Honestly i love kevinkoolx but i think hes a very intense halo player. As a person who is now in his unc phase and is just a casual player... this is my favorite halo. I love it. I'll be playing for a looooong time.... like 30min to an hour and a half 1 - 2x a week tho. Maybe if i was playing like kevinkoolx i'd feel the same, but thats why i dont make videogames my life.

Still playing and having fun in Halo Custom Edition for 20 years now. MCC mods are a great time too. And i waited with starting Infinite until like 3 months ago, which was a great idea since it really is a in 1.0 state now, I am having a lot of fun in Custom games and the forge is the best we ever had. Yeah the campaign story is bad, but the story of has been ruined since Halo 4 and I am not expecting it to ever get good again after that shitshow from H4, but the gameplay in the campaign is great and finally felt like a successor to H3 (just missing an epic moment like the beach landing from CE or the tank battle from H3) and if you replace the Infinity in the beginning cutscene with the Dawn, then this would be a good H4 replacement. To cut out H4 & 5 out of the time line. Yes they ruined the chances for a big playerbase for Infinite by releasing it in an alpha/beta state and keeping it that way for 2 years, since the only day that matters for the masses is the release day, if it's not hitting it on that day then it's dead for 90% of all players. But that doesn't mean that we can't have fun with a small playerbase.

As long as halo leaves A.I. generated art out of their games I'll buy anything. Boycott COD they use A.I. instead of artists.

if Halo didn't turn into a money grab piece of junk with retconned everything, people would still be excited about it. But nope. Lets make the game almost unrecognizable to what it used to be. To say the franchise is on life support is an understatement. But the positive news is they actually do seem to be trying a little so we will see. Lets hope the next game is good.

I'm 35 too, Also a dad of 3 kids. Halo is my all time favorite game but the time I have to play is super limited now. I am excited for the next Halo game but I also question if i'll even have the the time or desire to play it by the time it comes out. Late 2026 sounds like an eternity right now.

I can't lie this video feels like it's 3 months old. I mean it feels insightful for then but it just feels outdated with all the new development that halo studios has opened and how they've made announcements for what the next halo will be. Great content though.

I have so many Forge map ideas, and it sucks because, yeah, same, burnt out. Also, I miss how KZbin was when growing up watching Halo content creators. I've always wanted to be those guys and to an extent I am and I'm proud of that. However, now adays it feels like a needle in the haystack for non-mainstream content to even surface on my front page, which makes it hard for smaller creators to create and share with the community of said non-mainstream content. So many creators are singing into the void, unless you join like a hundred discords lmao (not just halo tubers btw) Speaking for myself, being a small creator on KZbin is like being a money starved musician on the sidewalk in Hollywood . 😅😫

I feel that the focus has been on the 4v4 experience and barely any on the upgraded BTB mode they boasted about in the beginning! On top of that Squad Battle has like 8 modes while BTB has 16. Where is my Squad Battle Fieasta CTF!!😂

Eww, those baked in captions are just a little too high or the font is a little too big or both. Yeah, your reticule is still visible but at times the gameplay is very hard to follow through the captions. Honestly I wouldn't care if the in game AI captions were obscured by the added captions. At least get em a little lower...I'm guessing this is also a short or a TikTok and you put the captions there to look better on a smartphone in portrait orientation after chopping off the sides of the original footage?

The problem with Halo is that it hasn't grown past the Arena 4v4 successfully. It just been the same thing repeatedly since it's been out. For example, it doesn't matter what kind of armor you wear as a Spartan because every player has the exact same traits. This is one of the many reasons why Halo has gone downhill over the years.

The community wanted to give objective critism ans feedback And the clickbaiter took that critism and turned it into a "343 killed halo franchise again Infinite is unplayble ,people are mad " It was sad then its more sad now because we "live " with the results

These days I play halo because………halo is the game I play and have always played. Mainly I switch my brain off and have a podcast playing, some matches engage me, some I just zone out and go through the motions. It’s a shame but the as great as the gameplay is the lack of sandbox expansions and slow trickle of maps and modes just don’t do enough to keep it fresh enough. It makes me sad.

Ever since the last Infinite season, the game has been crashing for me on PC. Used to not experience crashes - but at this point the game has become unplayable. I'm very frustrated because Infinite is the only game that crashes, no other game does not even Infinite used to do that. And I'm also frustrated by 343 abandoning every story thread they introduce and always being reactionary and trying to course correct while throwing out things that never got a chance to be properly developed. It's become really hard to be a Halo fan.

Its a game. Maybe peoples problems is there expectation that its supposed to devour their life like they are 16 again. And they are ALWAYS going to be disappointed when it's not this earth shattering cultural phenomenon. We all want our favorite thing to be the big thing. Especially KZbinrs who obviously obsess over it for views. But its unhealthy. Its created a toxic, atrocious community to be a part of that almost no one new wants to join. So many people helped make yhe entire experience miserable, and then wonder where all the hype and love and excitement for the franchise went. People behaved like absolute ravenous animals over infinite and the halo tv show the past few years. And yeah, the entire experience hss been draining for everyone. So much so that 343 changed their freaking name lol..

I love halo very much but i have had no drive or incentive to play/grind it out besides trying to hit Hero. But even trying to hit Hero has felt like a chore more than an enjoyable experience. I know ill comeback to halo ininfte again and play for a bit but I'm probably going to be playing the games that get regular updates/ have more things to do on them.

Halo it's trough and trough a 2000's game. I honestly don't believe there is still room for Halo. Maybe if they made a single player only, but multiplayer wise Halo doesn't stand a chance

Halo died during reach with the birth of 343. They changed the for.ula and the intended audiance. If people like.modern halo good form them, but I wont be back to any new halo. I finished the fight back in 2012.

I love Halo. Dont know how yall make a living off this series especially with infinite for the past 4 years

Loved the video and I agree, the hope is starting to die out. I’ll never stop playing halo one way or another but it’s tough out here. If anyone still likes little halo montages I have a few posted. Shameless plug.

Gave me a laugh with that Rolex promo

There's nothing wrong with taking time away from a game to play other things or just focus on life for a while. In fact, I think that's healthier than playing one single game or franchise 24/7! I think not enough gamers understand that. That's also kind of the strength of live service games too, that every few months it's still refreshing to come back to with new content to look forward to. I am hitting that point a bit with Infinite at the moment, where I feel there's simply other games and things that are more worth my attention right now. But Halo in general has always been that franchise that I find my way back to, in between breaks and playing other things.

This waiting period is getting pretty worrying but these uncontested times could be a huge advantage serving as a pregame for us to experiment and stack our skills. Also, while a lot of the old content formats don't really work anymore, I still believe that there's ways for them to be repurposed with modern twists. (Ex. adding a narrative focus to challenges, adding stakes and consequences to gameplays, turning news into documentary styled vids, etc.) Would love to chat about this one day, lots of opportunity and ideas that have not been touched by this community!

I’m with ya. Me personally, I’m tired of the forge maps. BO6 got old after a month and right now, I’m just catching up with the Halo books.

I Feel you man, the lack of news and updates and This long dead time in between new halo games. I can understand why its frustrating to be a halo content creator.

For me I always remain a halo fan and enjoy it. My issue now is that it’s the community that tends to ruin the experience for me. With doom and gloom and it reaching a height of people actively wanting something to hate, even if it’s nothing. Or bash people that have guilty pleasures like halo 4. It’s tiring and even left to me no longer being subscribed to many KZbinrs due to clickbait and doom and gloom or just groveling at rumors.

Do you know what they should do? They should make a game based off Spartan 3s headhunters

96.3% of ya'll are whack! Sub immediately wtf

I just going to be brutally honest, it takes six years to make aaa games in this day and age with a full studio, now with the management change the mass lay offs that happened during a company wide hiring freeze(all of Microsoft) and switching to unreal engine how much work do you think they have gotten done, not trying to sound mean but it’s like halo fans and content creators live in this fairytale land mindset, and with abk and Bethesda Microsoft doesn’t have to worry rushing out halo games, so looking at the reality of thing I would be massively shock if we see anything next halo game related next summer.

Hey, if you're looking for another multiplayer FPS to play take a look at The Finals, I absolutely love it.

He’s right

Just like you I will always and still do love Halo. I can see how you and the other Halo content creators can feel the burnout faster than casual players (except for Mint). Times are just different my man. CoD seems to be the only old IP that can keep up with the times.

I really relate to what you said especially about feeling so burnt out. I spent 3 years enjoying the game but it’s been a rollercoaster it’s for me at a point where I could enjoy it again but I’m so tired of the up and down that has been consistent with the game that I hardly play but like once a week and I don’t do match after match anymore

Basically how I feel

Im planning to start a halo channel (would be the first ín my country!) but I realized im way past my "prime", and I dont even have any motivation to play the game. Its a tough time to be a halo fan, but we'll get through it eventually! Or all of us leave halo and the community dies. What a negative way to end a comments lol

I feel like Halo Infinite was the last chance to create a widely popular and successful arena-style Halo game. I just can’t see another release from the 'new' dev team succeeding if it sticks to the traditional 4v4 and Big Team Battle format. Moving forward, I think the only viable path for Halo is either crafting exceptional campaign-only titles or taking a completely new and modernized approach to multiplayer. As a longtime Halo fan, especially of the multiplayer, I’ll always hope for an amazing classic arena-style Halo game-but I don’t think that’s the future for the franchise anymore.

For me it was the controller AA volume that made ranked not enjoyable from a MNK perspective and the SBMM making the social part not social and fun, always carry 3 bots vs another dude carrying his 3 bots for a 50-48 slayer gets boring after 3 games. So yes, burnt out and i just ocassionaly play it or watch some HCS.

Thanks for checking out the video. Was just a very raw, hit record a post type of video so I didn't really plan our what I wanted to say. The lack of certainty with the franchise, spinning my wheels in the live service or just tired of playing 4v4 arena over and over. I really want to see Halo do something new and exciting.

Tired. Yea.

spent 180hrs in infinite tired of it ngl i need marathon

😢

It's nice to love something, but this is a classic case of learning to Let It Go. I let it go last month, and switched over to fortnite, and couldn't be more happier! I realized that I was seeking the community. If this is taught me anything as an old gamer, it's to try new things and keep an open mind at all times and every facet of life! You can always pivot! You see the writing on the wall. It would be nice to have you in the fortnite realm. It's waiting for you! And once that's done, we'll let it go as well. But you know those old folks that refuse change! They're the people that don't even know how to work email, and you feel so sorry for them. I'll see you in zero build, hopefully!

Halo is like Van Gogh. It was never truly loved for its greatness until it had passed away.
