The player count is poor. It's the problem Halo has had for about10 years as it plays too much like other shooters to carve out its own large and unique fanbase. It needs to go back to its arena shooter/slower movement roots with all its changes being to the environment and sandbox. Nowadays Halo, CoD and Battlefield are mostly just slide sprinting and bunny hopping around corners with colorful guns and immersion breaking skins.

Hey buddy yeah I admit first launch was very lacking in content and games should be complete upon release (looking at you COD and Battlefield) But the core gameplay in Infinite makes it the replay value sooo good. Especially if you have a squad of buddies to jump on with. Halo Infinite has enough content right now to keep it fun to play over and over again. What's more 343 is activity listening to the community and updating to our feedback which is something than cannot be said about EA or Epic Games. With Forge, new maps and modes, co-op campaign and new season launching soon Infinite will have everything it should have had at launch and more. I agree 343 should have given us more on release and they get some points taken away for that but they have done and incredible job with everything already included and they are actively responding to our feedback and giving us the content we want. TO imply that Halo is dead is just kinda stupid. The game is wildly popular and people need to stop saying everything needs a BR mode, turn their misty eyes away from COD and realize Halo has so much more to offer. COD isn't bad, I love warzone and MW, but the last two games have seriously sucked and Halo is a way more consistent series. With the exception of Halo 5 of course.

[@nathanebrecht1407]

I know this comment is super late, but... Having played Halo since it's release in 2001, I can genuinely say that I would love a Halo BR. Do I think it needs it, no... But I think it would be fun, assuming it's made the right way. While I still enjoy playing Fortnite, and I had a good time with both Apex and Warzone, I think those games are too far away from what a Halo BR *needs* to be. Honestly I believe that a Halo BR just needs to be more Halo but just on a larger scale. No having to pick up shields, no additional armor, no different attachments for weapons or awkward interfaces. Just drop us onto Zeta Halo with Banished and UNSC weapons scattered around the map, like it would be in multiplayer, and let us find them, pick them up, and fucking shoot each other. They can even take a page out of Blackout's book and utilize past and current maps in the landscape. Can you imagine playing Halo with 99 other people? 25 squads of 4 just duking it out on the biggest, most open, most beautiful Halo map we've ever seen? The fact of the matter is that all the stuff for a BR in Halo is already there. Infinite introduced a bunch of different equipment, and you can even bring back some of the older ones from past games, especially for maneuverability (looking at you Jetpack and Grav Lift). Imagine coming up on someone from behind just for them to bubble shield you... Imagine grapple hooking onto a tree or building and lobbing a Plasma onto an enemy player from 50 yards away! And then, oh this is great! And then, sharing it with people through some sort of file... share... wait. Facebook. Anyway, the map could be designed for the different movement options in mind, and you could have intense battles that last on multiple layers of engagement. Infinite also introduced variations on different weapons. Hell, you could even acquire them the same way you did in the campaign: hunting down a high value target. Implement a sort of PVPVE. Side note: I can't believe those weapons aren't currently available for use in the actual multiplayer. The overall point here is that a Halo BR doesn't have to be fancy, or even *new*... It just needs to be Halo. And the reason I hope it never exists is because the developers will never understand that..

Look how stupid Disrespect sounds shooting from the hip with what he thinks about Halo Infinite. In one breath he claims to love Halo yet fundamentally misunderstands how chasing the tired trend of BR would only hurt Halo. When someone says they don't play the campaign of a game they're already suss in my mind. Nothing wrong with liking multiplayer but when you can't even watch a single player trailer without bringing up BR.... Thank God for Favyn and Act Man.

I played a Reach map in the custom games browser on Forge World that used the entire map (As it's the biggest one ever created) and it was a FFA battle royal game type. It seems like it'd be fun but it got boring fast, especially since the shield recharge rate was longer and shields were weaker to help out with the balancing. I just don't get why some people obsess over BR modes. When I play Warzone with CoD, every match is usually the same thing where all players always go to the exact same location, despite having such a huge map to explore and to ambush people. It also doesn't help that everyone has armor in that BR game so it creates a weapon meta that you have to use to actually compete with even the most basic players. I couldn't see it working with Halo with the balancing of weapons and vehicles, as if you came across a team of 2 or more guys and you have a Plasma Rifle or SMG and they have Battle Rifles, you'll be screwed

Yup 100% bro Halo has always been different and original Not the same thing over and over again

[@njm2699]

I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s because they are terrified of viewers dismissing or looking away from their particular brand, I just think that from a streaming perspective, they know that Halo is a big title, it has popular brands, and big money behind it through Microsoft, and so they see it this; if Halo can uphold a particular audience that juxtaposes w high viewership for those streamers than they want to maximize that outcome which in their eyes are BR’s. Now I disagree w that incentive, but I don’t think that it’s because they are afraid that Halo will be successful to a point that it will bring viewers away from their BR brand. I mean if it’s popular as an arena type shooter than those streamers will gravitate to that type of shooter because it makes them money. They just see that arena type shooters will not give them that viewership that they believe they would have if there was a BR.

[@AIIEYESONME]

@@geilertobi231 I don't think it's necessarily the fault of capitalism, after all fans can bring in more money, take a look at games like gta, hitman, battlefield, these games aren't really prevalent if at all present in the pro scene yet rake in tons of cash. I think the problem is that they think what they are doing is the best method to make money when it is not, capitalism is great for games because it will encourage companies to make the most money which generally means trying to appeal to fans, siege and similar games are in a position where they are making money, just not as much as they could be if they did what the fans want.

THIS. Most of the big IP fps games nowadays seems to having crack with customization thingy (apart from halo of course). You got COD Vanguard that has big excuse to go back to classic cod (1-3, world at war to an extend) but no, they rather choose to made them as "big warzone DLC". Bf2042 has too much costumization that it become something other than battlefield.

I don’t understand how these streamers can spend literally EVERY stream they record screaming literally and I quote CourageJD “I HATE THIS FUCKING GAME OH MY GOD!” Then when I new game comes out that looks awesome their immediate response is: I want this game to be more like the game I just screamed I hated. In fact, I have heard “ImMarksman” say: “the only reason so many people watch Call of Duty on twitch is because its so garbage to play they need to watch someone else suffer for them”. 343 isn’t trying to make a game so bad that people have to watch others to enjoy it.

Nobody gives a shit about streamability. The streamers are upset because their job is streaming and Halo will be huge, but it's harder for them to not stream BR

[@MadRetro00]

Looking back on this a year later... It didn't pan out too well for infinite, and this is coming from somebody who enjoys the game. From a spectating pov, the game probably would've brought more people to it if it had a Battle Royale. Just based on the fact that more people would've streamed it.. so I guess there's truth to that.. But the main reason this game dropped off so hard isn't because of BR, it's because of bad community management, lack of updates, and misleading their consumers..

"We can probably make our own once Forge comes out." All of this. Halo to me is at its peak when custom game makers and Forge specialists are putting out their very best work.

Totally agree, people forget that Halo was a titan of innovation in Bungie’s hands. 343 would be wise to try and live up to that despite the risks

[@jonathandavis7048]

Especially with game modes implemented in halo 5 (I think that’s the first time it was shown) like action sack which displayed famous custom game modes and player creations that got famous like cookies, drag race, castle wars, etc. i only hope we get forge and customs like we did on halos past

@@jarman395 My point is Act man is wrong. The streamers were right. Twitch viewership shows the popularity of a game compared to other games.

It's current player numbers are close to battlefield 2042 which is also a dead game. There's something wrong with Halo. Everyone loved Halo when it first came out but it can't be a good game if no one is still playing it or watching it after a month
