Remi please make a video and put constant pressure for halo studios to make the delta playlist its own mode. If it goes into quickplay, it will die. Ironically, that is such a 343 move to do. While they're at it, add the halo 3 refuel playlist back aswell as its own thing. Give people clear choices on the menu. Dont just throw everything under quickplay and expect people to understand how to access it. It doesn't work like that. I wish this company would wake up

Modes to go with playable elites: Invasion 2 - AI allies such as Marines for Spartans and Grunts for Elites. With a new team size of 12 for 12v12 invasion. Hunt - Elites spawn with camo, plasma and an energy sword. Spartans spawn with 1 threat sensor, an AR and a Shotgun. Elites hunt down Spartans as they try to escape or complete objectives to win. Warzone - Bigger Invasion with 24v24. More AI units such as ODST's and jackals. More vehicles to add to this warzone. It'd be nice to see stuff like that in the next Halo.

[@justsomeguy1136]

I want them to go all out with invasion. Screw 12 v 12. Make it 30 v 30. It's a game mode called INVASION. And if you messed around with the mods that halo reach had back In the day, you could see they wanted to do more with the mode but were limited on time for most of the stuff they wanted to do for the game. I'm thinking they wanted to do something like battlefield/warsim games. HUGE open map with a lot of players and stuff like that.

[@TheLegendaryMiningMinecraft]

I'm so glad you keep bringing up the SBMM. I mainly play Husky Raid and every match is a sweat fest. It's exhausting, frustrating, and unfun. I can't play casually with my family because they get destroyed every match. I wish it would change.

Hi Mint Blitz. The same person who was banned from Halo Australia online tournaments (Cserleo) is the same guy that destroyed that draft tournament last weekend and spoofed my name while doing it. Guy has nothing going for him in life.

[@MintBlitz]

Dude him AGAIN Pretty sure he doxxed me during the MCC PC era alongside some other people.

[@AlbertRossvids]

@MintBlitz Yes he has doxxed many people & used private information to threaten them online. Thanks for this video. Any of these cheaters using the "midnight" cheating software can impersonate other players & get them banned by "spoofing" their Gamertag. All it takes is one cease and desist letter to the single dev responsible and it stops.

[@hyperwing5374]

Sounds like the guy needs to be doxxed himself.

[@ScottThePisces]

I stopped playing Infinite 3 months after it came out purely because of how the game leaned towards competitive gaming, while removing all the amazing social features that made Halo in my teens soo good. It's a sweatbox, and unfortunately no longer a casual gaming franchise. MLG has it's place, but make a dedicated playlist to that, and let the rest of them be fun.

[@il0917]

[@DarkShuriken]

man PREACH. Competitive shouldn't be baked into the foundation of the game! Let the multiplayer come from a good gameplay loop AND THEN let the sweats figure it out from there. Here's a crude analogy to chew on: A game designed for speedrunning isn't as appealing as Mario 64.

[@garrettc6521]

Well said. They’ve completely shifted from casual gameplay to hyper competitive for every game. Idk who enjoys this kind of game now

Halo Infinite also has hacker problems, every day I play with my friends and we always find some cheater with wallhack or aimbot, usually they are in the tactical slayer playlist but we also find them in ranked team snipers

[@CringeKing103]

That first issue is actually the reason i havent come back to infinite multiplayer. I started the game way later than others and whenever id go to play online, the skill gap for casual matchmaking was insanely high, even moreso when fighting others who are on PC when i use controller. The MCC seems to have that issue less, which is why ive stayed on thier multiplayer this entire time.

[@anthonybeach6994]

OG halo should be its own playlist moving forward with both the Halo 2 and the Halo 3 Mountain Dew playlists and game types available🙏

Delta Arena is genuinely the most fun Ive had in Infinite multiplayer. If they remove it, I will probably drift away from the game again. A return to form (removal of sprint, clamber, etc) was such a breath of fresh air.

[@kylemorgan7961]

Totally agree, I hadn't been on Halo infinite lately. Then DELTA ARENA mode dropped and I was back baby.

[@justsomeguy1136]

It's insane to me they don't just make these game modes permanent. We have this amazing new powerful technology yet NO ONE has taken advantage of it besides making pretty waterfalls and photorealistic rocks. You cannot convince me that they couldn't make all these temporary game modes permanent with the tech we have nowadays. I get the 360/ps3 era, but the series x and ps5/pro era? That's ridiculous.

I agree don’t remove playlist that players enjoy playing.

For what Halo Infinite is now, especially as they move on to development of the next games, the classic halo experience should stay permanently. I think there should be a casual one with SMG starts how it was before and then a ranked one with BR starts. I hate even calling it classic Halo. It's just "Halo"

[@megaman37456]
