actually, I like the battle rifle sounds from halo infinite better. I also like the fast gameplay, but also no one takes into account that shooting has more startup if you shoot out of sprint. Also I can't even load any of the customization menus

Thank you for this. Excellent work!

Couple of months later they managed to make the old currency system feel better than the new. How on Earth did you manage that 343i.

I agree the visual effects need a little bit of work as well as I want to see larger battles

Another huge problem with the campaign was the constant dialogue. Since when is master chef talking all the time??? He’s a classic “silent protagonist” trope who’s known for his one-liners. Weapon is also really cringe and NEVER SHUTS UP.

I would not say it's bad. It was fun at places. It's just mid. It's not the top tier halo like it used to be, but it is not a bad game. Just mid.

a mediocre xbox 360 game series slapped together to be live service and undercooked is awful? who could have known. *shocked pikachu face*

are we playing the same game? this game is so much fun! i just dont get it. also, halo has always praised you for doing well. its the reason why the announcer goes "triple kill" when you get one. though, i do agree with you that they focus on competitiveness too much. halo is a party game damn it!

Good click bait. Bad take. Skill issue

Crossplay for coop campaigns Dedicated servers for coop (the lag makes it very hard even on short distances and good internet) Splitscreen on PC Social features like map/mode veto, party up, etc Add commendations, since reach and h4 had them. Wouldnt be too hard to come up with something similar for the other games Extras section with a music player for the soundtracks, easy accessible links to all the halo media out there, etc (theres already a video player for all terminals and the H2A cutscenes, why not expanding it a little?)

Glad someone is saying the truth about halo infinite multiplayer. it sucks, these halo fanboy influencers keep bootlicking the game and every update they post "halo is back!" and theyve been saying that since the first update the player counts are still at their all time lows. people believe the cringey youtubers. download it and play it and uninstall after they realize its another garbage f2p battlepass game.

Halo infinite is not a bad game.

I honestly agree with most of what you said, but I think they’re fulfilling different roles; ODST Firefight is like a Left 4 Dead, survive as long as you possibly can until you win or lose. Infinite Firefight is more like COD zombies, become a legend, and kill as many as possible until you win or lose.

hope they nerf/remove modern aim controls

Sick thumbnail, where can i find it?

There are marines too in Infinite FF as allies.

Reach was alright. I preferred playing with custom class load outs. Playing the map Outpost. And just seeing how long my lone Spartan could hold off the covy. As Reach burned in the background. ODST was definitely more grounded. The enemies weren't as deadly as reach. But again. You're only an odst. The struggle for survival felt real. Halo 5. Warzone FF I could take or leave. Objective waves could be easy. Fun. Or tedious. "Protect this building from countless Knights and Soilder spawns!" *Rage quits* Not played H6 in ages. 😊

There isnt enough ammo in infinite firefight its like the famine skull is always or something

I hated halo 5 campaign but i gotta be honest 5's multiplayer was some of the funnest halo ive ever played. Including warzone firefight. Dont sell yourself short by not playing 5s multiplayer

I love how when the video switches to Halo Infinite, the graphics worse.

Well first of all, they did add marine teammates to newer firefight maps, house of teash, a Halo Infinite campaign map was added in the launch of firefight, and finally, the Elites and Hunters being teammates feels to me a bit cheap, but it does bring back the Halo 2 memories when you release them from the prison and work together to break out. Plus, it does make sense from a lore perspective. I do think they need to make Firefight in Infinite harder, with the whole revival system being exchanged for lives like how the older ones were, and have less and less power weapons and ammo

Halo Reach firefight is what got me into Halo

My biggest dislike about odst firefight is the damn catch skull. Why do they just stand there spamming grenades it's very annoying, I wish there was a way to turn it off. Although it does make firefight more challenging and more fun.

As someone who has put the least amount of hours in halo 3 odst out of all the games, odst's firefight mode is the only firefight i play

Huh, after watching this video, I expected both the video and the channel to have more views. A long time ago now, I made a first person wave defense shooter game that I released. It was developed concurrent to the original release of Halo ODST, and was released shortly after Halo Reach came out. It took a lot of inspiration from Halo. I clicked on this video out of curiosity to see if I fell into any of the pitfalls in game design. My philosophy was to introduce more numerous enemies and new enemy types per wave, rather than just turning them into bullet sponges like Firefight / Horde mode. I guess that's the luxury you can afford when running on the PC rather than consoles that can only have a limited number of enemies at a time.

halo 5 had a nice balance between objectives and waves - the objectives would either be to protect a location/ object or to kill enemies, but unlike infinite you weren't restricted to a small zone. Halo 5 also benefitted from having huge firefight maps and an even larger weapons roster, which just added to the fun. in halo infinite the maps are too small and don't work well as firefight maps, and the small weapon pool makes it boring.

Halo Infinite firefight DOES have friendly marines tho but this does depend on the map. I see them more often than elites. My biggest problem with HI's FF is the lack of map variety. After a while, I've just learned where everything spawns which takes a lot of the challenge away. Also while I disagree its that base FF is "just a power fantasy", Gruntpocolpyse definitely is & the grunt bosses in this mode are UNREASONABLY tanky for the sake of "difficulty" which I dislike.

I’m so glad you pointed out how the maps just don’t work. I’ve seen quite a few youtubers sing praise for Infin’s Firefight, yet I always wondered why they did since the maps are just trash. I knew I wasn’t crazy.

On a somewhat related note; I've been working with a gametype scripter for the past year to bring Reach Invasion to Halo 2 Anniversary Multiplayer! We are finally ready to release it, and are hosting the mode alongside a few maps in the custom game browser this Friday. One of the maps I made is a remake of ODST's Lost Platoon, which the H2A Forge palette lends itself to very well. Would love to have you there Friday!

I disagree. Halo reach firefight is probably the worst. For starters the lack of on map weapon pickups(except for the round start power weapons) makes the experience very samey. The game offers you some loadouts but I think that kinda just gets rid of the diversity in terms of how a map is played. Additonaly the maps aren't great imo. They are basically reused campaign areas and because of reach's sandbox operates most of the time the best strat is to just camp one spot with dmr because of the infinite ammo resupply. I always go back to infinite firefight because ecen if not all the maps work as well as they could there is at least some diversity in how you can approach things and even a wider selection of vehicles to use in said maps besides just the damn warthog. I also disagree about your points about the brutes in halo 3 odst. Brutes in halo 3 are hands down their worst itteration. All the ranks besides like 2 behave the same excep with different colors, the basically die to 1 melee hit and are some of the msot braindead piss easy enemy in the halo franchise. There is no strategy to em. Infinite has so many more unique ranks of brutes. Brutes can be shielded or not making you consider what weapon to use, they can be ranged fighters or berserkers, they can be snipers with the skewer. I think this video is just poorly made and fails to provide a decent analysis on firefight and the sandboxes of these 2 games.

only reason i dont play odst is because theres only like 2 maps on rotation and they just happen to not be as fun as the others

Halo Reach's firefight was genuine ass

It's like Halo... But worse.

LIke you said, it really does feel like a modded in mode. The way enemies spawn and react to their environment is awkward. Dude's spawning in plain sight is embarrassing. They get stuck on their environment so often. I've had boss enemies get sent flying out of bounds due to how tanky they are and softlock matches since they get stuck.

I'll be watching your growth with great interest.

I do agree with you about the maps but fire fight specifically forge maps are pretty fire.

343i doesn't know how to make a Halo game let alone a Firefight mode lol

You're underrated bro ngl

Not sure what I was expecting

This is why they added the elite as friends; The elites are apart of arbiter's faction, the swords of sanghelios. The UNSC is friendly towards them and frequently share ships and the arbiter helps out the UNSC when he deems it necessary, still I would prefer for 343 to add marines too. I do think they should have added more versatile friendlies as well. I think adding elites was pretty good but they should have added more things to differ the SoS elites from the banished elites or hell, even add the arbiter to fight on your side. Still, I agree with most of the points made in this video.

“I didn’t play halo 5” man another person who either didn’t get an xbox one or didn’t want to be disappointed.

Pretty much agree on most, feels soulless and begrudgingly made. Nice vid and good points 👍

At this point I think they need to add Invasion and Hardcore options to the match composer as these playlists are practically dead in Ranked, but hey, they won't do that now that they've ended support.

im not a fan of really any sounds in infinite, all remind me of the soulless sounds of cod ww2, and the physics of vehicles feel so bad, you cant knock them over with nades now or see damage eaily as it happens. The plasma pistol is now useless, and now the maps are crap aside from remakes. Not even using a post and pregame lobby so matchmaking is a chore.

I still have to admit that Halo 5: Guardians is a better Halo game compared to Infinite in so many ways. Yes the REQ system has pros and cons, but the game has so many weapons and variants because of it, vehicles as well. And Warzone (especially Warzone Firefight) was a masterpiece. I was really looking forward to Firefight in Halo Infinite, but what they gave us is a barebones disgrace. Only a few modes, a handful of weapons and vehicles and no new achievements… Halo Infinite is missing so much content and the Campaign made no sense at all, it did not follow up the story from Halo 5. This game will never be good, just remake Halo Reach and 3 already.

I just refuse to support and play a game which has been designed to be rigged and control the experience. Online gameplay always feels either rigged against u, impossible to win. Or its too easy and u destroy the other team. Observing the stats of players makes this obvious. Also, the lack of any real social interaction really kills it. Muting all players in ffa modes. No pre/post game lobbies. And the overall broken gameplay really ruins it all

Are we even surprised? Especially after Halo 5 and the state MCC launched in?

Honestly this game still feels unfinished
