Halo Infinite Snowbound Update Made the Same Mistakes

[@KevinKoolx]

1v1 is great 👍 Snowball fight looks fun! Snowbound mixed in quick play 😢

Halo infinite needs map veto with the map composer

[@PunyHumansTV]

This is why halo should come back with Map Voting. I've been wanting this back since reach

[@Valkyrae123]

Problem with that is people will just keep voting for the same map over and over, but i agree

[@ericbarnes5217]

@@Valkyrae123 Give us veto at least. I'm tired of playing certain maps over, and over again. They sucks, and I'll take anything over them.. Looking at you illusion

[@EastlakeRasta7]

​@@Valkyrae123 in MechWarrior Online they give you the option to vote for the game mode and then the map. So far 343 has shown that they will consistently drop the ball.

[@Londonfamyo]

Voting, or a veto system like Halo 3.

[@BadBad3n]

The veto system was in 4 too

[@stickyfing3rs534]

So, as a heads-up, Sketch confirmed on X that Delta arena will be back as a playlist next week, and 3p firefight will also be coming back (not sure if that was for next week as well)

[@nickm5419]

just give us 3P Squad Battle.

[@stickyfing3rs534]

@nickm5419 3P Husky Raid is up next, but that would be fun

[@aaronbellofatto2331]

I randomly got into a match of One Shot Slayer on Snowbound yesterday. It was awesome. The nostalgia was very strong

[@Eastra3]

What about getting good exchange content for the holidays? Instead the exchange shop is worst than ever. I'm sitting on 150,000+ SP, with nothing worth spending it on. Then, some of the good exchange items that are supposed to still be available when moved out of the exchange shopping window, have disappeared. So now that I know there is still nothing good in the exchange, I decided I'd go back and by some of the decent stuff that I wasn't sure I wanted to spend my SP on, and I can't even do that. I've rarely complained about 343, and defended them compared to most of the fanbase, but this is getting even me pissed. I cannot stand this. If the exchange is never going to get decent stuff, then those 20 lv operations are useless, because they are almost exclusively SPs. I feel like I'm just completing them for the heck of it at this point. No more motivation to complete these operations, and they were the reason I played some days even when I wasn't really feeling it, because I thought, "don't want to lose out on free in game currency." But now I see that its not free at all. It costs me my time to try to complete in within a months time span. I can just save my time and play Infinite once a week for a couple hours rather than multiple times a week for multiple hours. Then there is the snowbound map issue. How do they make a playlist for new content every time, but for this one they decide not to make an exclusive playlist to show off the new content, and now we have to hope for a 1/40 chance to play it? I'm sick of getting Live Fire and Recharge, was supposed to experience two new ranked maps, but we only have one, and on ranked arena, Live Fire and Recharge having a slayer game mode makes the maps overplayed by having more modes, hence more chances to get the map, and we don't get to experience the other ranked maps as much, because they have a smaller amount of game modes. I also got a ton of slayer games in a row one night on ranked Arena...what gives? If I wanted to play so much slayer on ranked, I'd be playing Ranked slayer lobby only. I do not care for slayer...the most casual game mode that exists, with the worst spawns, and requires little teamwork.

[@HDfromNJ]

Its wild seeing how well bo6 plays and works as a live service in comparison to halo whos employees cant be bothered to even follow up on waypoint tickets.

[@OnizukaFFM]

Update is a catastrophe, removed 3rd person firefight which was the best thing this year and replaced it with another sweaty mode 1v1. Game needs more social feature pre/ post lobby map veto action sack playlist griffball playable elites weapons equipment and vehicles honestly this is so little to ask yet they can not even provide this in that poor game. They basically put minimum effort in these three years and only so much to support store sales. Question: why should we play another halo game from them? will they give us all the cosmetics we bought in the next game??

[@sosamatic91]

Kevin you missed the part about 1v1 showdown now allowing up to parties of 2 to search!

[@BrianBPlatt]

Man I’m really surprised they haven’t put a feature in there where we’re allowed to pick the maps we want to play

[@trplez6098]

U didn’t mention anything about them taking out 3p firefight

[@MandoMarsi13]

It's gonna return next week

[@Cekseiro]

@@MandoMarsi13 Confirmation that 3pFF is returning? PREFERABLY in an evergreen fashion and not just occasionally being trotted out? I know that a third person "snowball fight" mode with plasma grenades is coming at some point this season, and while I don't doubt you in the least, I really don't want to get my hopes up for a company that's consistently been letting me down for about a decade to do something right, without something to at least latch on to.

[@MandoMarsi13]

@@Cekseiro "3rd Person Firefight will also be added back next week!"

[@justinnyugen7015]

I wish they added fiestafight in the ff normal playlist. 3p ff had it, while the ff normal only has fiesta grunts

[@Cekseiro]

@@justinnyugen7015 Also agreed. Personally I prefer fiesta rules for the simple fact of, people tend to find the weapons they want to use (due to the infinite ammo) and are extremely courteous not to pick up others' weapons IME.

[@DogMutilator]

Don't queue arena objective, you will never find a game. They should've kept those modes in quick play

[@KevinKoolx]

Typical for objective specific playlist in Halo

[@doootuz]

I was so excited to play the new game mode with my friends. But then I forgot that like all Halo content, you have to wait at least two weeks after they name an event after something… 😂😂😂

[@disco4178]

That double knife chest piece is sick.

[@amikagahbo2487]

This game is like a decade behind on so many features lmao. I tried jumping back in after years little while ago (prob why kevin was recommend to me) but it literally just felt like a skin simulator you buy from the store. It felt so lifeless and like the entire point of the game was like spartan dress up.

[@LostODST]

Yikes, I didn't even know that map was added. Goes to show how poorly these events are..

[@DittoNews]

I remember last year I wasn't able to play the snow map, but at this point, I'm done with 343.

[@grahamchown2461]

I gave up, I never even got to play snow fire last year, you would think they would do a xmas playlist. Already played like 20 games and no snow map lol

[@MrGreencastle]

Thanks for the PSA about the Delta Arena stuff. It looks like it is coming back next week. The way it's mixed up now turns out to be a bit too confusing I think!

[@CommanderWolf611]

easy fix for the map problem is just to add in a way to just select that map. in. the map list like how you can select the game modes in playlists

[@BeTeLGeuZeX]

So much missed opportunities made by them

[@EastlakeRasta7]

4 years into this game and the best they can average for ranked playlist is 13 to 9 Maps. Forbidden has a one and whatever chance of being played on those ranked Playlist too. Of those 13 to 9 Maps four of them have been in the game since day one that is a third of the average map Pool half of ranked Arenas Maps smfh Honestly they need to put more weapons on the maps because it's honestly boring and Bland

[@levelwithme8535]

Sorry to say but the neutered weapon pool is based on feedback from pros, and the lack of new maps is because the competitive insights team and Tashi have done nothing to work with forgers. There's no real reason to think that will change.

[@EastlakeRasta7]

@@levelwithme8535 it's not a matter of "thinking" but a matter of asking not too much from the studio. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Over 100 maps and the best they can average is 13 to 9 maps in ranked this is pathetic.

[@levelwithme8535]

@@EastlakeRasta7 It is pathetic. I'm explaining to you the reason it's that way, and why it's likely that nothing will change. This will translate to the next title as well. The cooperation, outside of a few developers, with the forge community has been awful. Many people in the forge community have moved on as a result.

Why wouldnt you just make a snow themed playlist? 🤦🏻

[@aliensquid]

They probably busy on the new Halo game but that’s still no excuse I agree, rather than 1v1 just give us a Snow Playlist!!

[@Vkenlly]

The store in the game has and will always be cheeks, play something like “THE FiRST DESCENDANT” a game where the developers actually listen to there community/fans

[@optomysticartist7768]

Yeah I’m not playing it armors horrifically garbage 1v1 already was here so that’s not knew at all and u can’t even get any of the snow maps plus the one good thing snowball fight doesn’t drop till later in the operation😑 and they didn’t bring any other 3rd person modes in and instead just got rid of 3rd person firefight which was the only thing I really enjoyed playing really besides delta arena. I’m so all set with this game until they drop new weapons or armor that’s actually good

[@CaubóImpecável]

bo6 finally made me stop playing halo infinite (temporaly)

[@TheMatriuz]

just me that hates Halo infinite meny music? It wassnt great to begin with, that only one track no other tracks. Doesnt provide any Halo feel, just makes me think of the terrible state Infinite launched on.. Please react to this post if you have thoughts.

[@jjglazed4852]

Only 1 track is pathetic 😂

[@KevinKoolx]

IMO I love the music. Though I wish they would change it up.

[@kab51_]

I think there are like 3 different tracks, they are just very similar. I kinda like them, but some more variety would be very good. When they changed back the launch music to that zeta halo melody (or whatever) during the first operation I tought they were gonna change it every operation just like the menu backgrounds, but now with this whole universal blue ring menu its very unlikely we'll get anything different

[@MandoMarsi13]

MP music has been shit since S2.

[@Slo0ppyT0ppy]

Usually what I do is turn off the music for halo infinite and use my soundcloud and play halo 2 complete soundtrack and it basically plays all the campaign music in order exactly as it's heard in game and it just makes it better

[@theincrediblefella7984]

Yes, welcome to 343. Move on.

[@levelwithme8535]

Another playlist relying on nostalgia instead of introducing new experiences. The product of a company directed by individuals with no passion or vision. Corporate trash.

[@mrgrim75]

Halo Infinite’s live service is ass Look at COD and Destiny they actually add new weapons and the modes they release are actually decent

[@aliensquid]

A bunch of Heretics in the comments!! Acting like you had no fun with Halo Infinite 🤡

[@Cekseiro]

First time I've had fun with the entirety of Halo Infinite has been 3rd person firefight. I'm not kidding when I say it's unironically the most fun I've had with Halo since Reach. Does 3pFF *feel* like Halo? No, but it did feel fun, which is more than I can say about the base game.

[@JUNIsLuke]

Another sleepable update

[@marty1459]

The event is absolutely terrible, can't play with your friend's on 1 vs 1 and you can't even get a snow map. It's complete crap. Goodbye Halo Infinite. It's been something.
