What The HELL Just Happened With Halo Infinite?!

[@HiddenXperia]

An update…? With ACTUAL content??? In MY Halo Infinite??? What a world we live in 🫣

[@Destroyer243]

Updates for infinite are great and all, but I wish they would flesh out MCC the rest of the way so that I can play EVERY halo with my friends over cross platform... All we have is halo 3 and halo 3 ODST, and we would like to play more than just those 2...

[@theincrediblefella7984]

Halo fanboys are just like abused housewives.

[@Fenrir_Furt]

So, love the video. Great Content as always. I have something to pick on though in this video. As you stated, Halo: Infinite and the other 343 era titles weapons other then the precision weapons having a headshot multiplier is one of the few things that actually makes sense. Speaking from a personal opinion but having all ballistic weapons having the multiplier is both accurate, and proper within the Halo Universe and real life weapons. I can understand that it makes the game feel more competition based and that's not really what Halo was supposed to be at it's core, but the weapons like the MA40, the Bandit fire the exact same round. It's just a piece of irl capability that I enjoy within Halo and it makes the weapons feel different, yet similar at the same. Just my personal thoughts on that topic. Love the content and continue doing the Floods work lol.

[@pokesauras5293]

At this point I have no hope for halo. I don’t even think I’m gonna buy the next game.

[@Jedi_Spartan]

I get that Halo fans have been asking for the Ghosts of Onyx MA5K for ages but since the update is called 'Great Journey' and is basically a Halo 2 20th Anniversary, why did they not add a weapon that's actually from HALO 2 (SMG, Brute Shot, Plasma Rifle, Covenant Carbine, Fuel Rod Gun, Beam Rifle)?

[@jonny45k44]

From what I can find. It seems they are only adding weapons they can re-use animations from other weapons. In this case, the new weapon uses the ARs animations.

[@bander960]

*that moment when you realize that the Plasma Rifle hasn't launched with a Halo game since Reach...*

[@Blox117]

because that would require them to have actually played halo 2

[@ARandomSpecOp]

I feel like they could’ve reused animations from the stalker rifle and shock rifle for the beam rifle and carbine, pulse carbine for the plasma rifle, ravager for the enforcer plasma caster from hw2

[@icantthinkofagoodusername4464]

343i would do anything to differentiate their time with Halo from Bungie's. Even if it is functionally identical to the SMG (it is) you know damn well they're gonna make sure it looks nothing like the SMG. That plus this was almost certainly a piece of content planned from ages ago that just happened to line up with this update. From the most reputable leaks it seems everything past a certain point in Halo Infinite's life cycle was just work that was already contracted to outside partners with no real new content getting green lit for the game.

[@MasterCheeksOfficial]

First new gun in like 2 years and it’s just a slightly modified version of a gun we already have, let’s fucking go 🔥🔥🔥

[@ThornEternal]

Pretty much. They wanted to do this whole live service thing and we have to suffer with their decision. “We didn’t make enough money” Isn’t a justification to not actually add new weapons. Not with a franchise this big at least. At this rate we’ll never get a halo again because they’ll spend 400 million to make it and then drop it the second it doesn’t make a billion profit in one year and move on to the next halo cash grab.

It sucks because I loved this game at launch. I was one of the few to test the game's very first build and the grappleshot alone was enough to make it so much fun. When it released me and my friends had too much fun in BTB. It's a shame it got so underutilized, especially the campaign. As fond as my memories were of this game, I think they need to actually add something like playable elites to bring me and many others back. Or just take it behind the barn.

Theres still so little that they’ve added to the game and so much that still is missing

Took infinite 3 year to add a new weapon. We owe Halo 5 an apology.

[@trashjash]

No, 343i or Halo Studios or whatever they want to call themselves owes _us_ an apology. Halo 5 was terrible, and still it was in a better state at its launch than Infinite was. All the cosmetics in 5 are earnable through gameplay, even if it's from a stupid loot box system that was designed to frustrate and sap money from you. That's how bad Infinite is, it makes Halo 5 look good. Except for art style, which Infinite stomps all over 5's face with the more classic Halo looks. And the expanded Forge, but what fun is it when most people are gone and not using or playing it?

[@ConfidentMelon]

@@trashjash the only bad part of H5 was the campaign; the multiplayer was very good IMO, plenty of weapons and options for casual and competitive players alike. There were also a ton of maps so it didn't get stale. I feel like I'm going insane playing Recharge every other match

[@bickyboo7789]

​@@trashjash I enjoyed Halo 5's multi-player much more than Infinite's. The floating while aiming, charge up smash, and the booster felt like a nice update to the traditional Halo mechanics without making it too much like COD.

[@evanmanor7444]

​@@bickyboo7789 The ironic thing is that's exactly what 343 was doing with Halo 5. Enhanced Mobility was all the rage during that time and Spartan Abilities were their answers for that trend. Halo 4 became more COD like. Halo 5 jumped on the Enhanced Mobility trend. Halo Infinite jumped on the live service trend. It's pretty clear that old 343 was just trying to capture the casual audience. That alone has damaged this franchise so horribly.

[@TheiTzCynical]

I think it'd be funny if in the 3rd person mode, your 3rd person the entire time, but when you did something that naturally pulled you into 3rd person, hop into vehicle, turret, carrying turret around, it changes to first person.

This made me laugh way harder than it had any right to. The thought of going first person when getting in a vehicle and just crashing had me dying laughing

Halo 3 and Reach armor unlocking story: I went on this great journey on this massive ring world (or alien planet)!

[@VoyaNui456456]

Glad you pointed out the strafing Halo infinite strafing always felt way too fast.

[@DKC78]

Makes so much sense why it’s a struggle to finish kills this time around, so hard to get a headshot when everybody strafes like they’re on crack. Even halo 4 & 5 had strafe inertia, they just only cared making infinite the sweatiest game possible with all the changes they made

[@Chrisspru]

classic halo has a player acceleration if 9.6 (halo 2&3). CE had 9.75. halo infinite has one at 12. thats the cause of jittery movement. setting acceratiin to 80% in custom games results in the classic strafe of halo 3 at 9.6. i prefer a 90% setting, 10.8 acceleration. its a great middle point. also, setting speed to 90% gives classic halo player speed (2.25 world units (10 ft) a second). at that setting, the current sprint speed bonus of 10% is just halo 3 mlg speed. which works great at classic scales.

[@Z-Romello]

As a Halo fan, Halo Studios is trying to do the same thing like last time (343) I say this is because we've been through this insane cycle with them since release. New season update, new gear in store, new modes, new themed event, and a kit ( if there is one like now) that'll cost us 20 bucks. It's the same shit, but it's mask with the Halo 2 name slapped onto it to reel us in along with The Ghosts Of Onyx Rifle, $20 Classic MK 6 kit, 3rd Person Mode, and a Spartan/Elite Gear in the exchange. Theme? Probably Elite Themed. Infinite is still suffering in my opinion.

[@Kevinator1996]

I mean, welcome to marketing. This is at least something that is catered to what we all at least somewhat want. They're at least aware of the community. Yeah no playable elites and no communication from the devs about anything but this update is at least great for people who are still playing even though I probably won't play outside of maybe trying out the new 3rd person in firefight since I haven't played the game at all since launch.

Hey, I had a injury on my hand after playing games (not video games), It had swollen and you know swellings usually hold for a time. I didn't want to walk around with a swollen hand so I prayed to God In Jesus name and asked my hand to be healed. My hand super healed! It healed super quickly and I even have pictures but even If that wouldn't be legit, which I think It Is: Another person had a injury around their eye, and their eye after continous prayer instantly got better!When my hand healed It healed very fast but not instantly. And I see my life heading In a direction as If God Is controlling It. And today I were alone In the darkness outside having to go through the forest alone, I am not scared of the forest and stuff that easily, considering It's a very small section of forest that Isn’t long to walk through, but I am scared for a reason... So I asked Jesus for help and when I called on Jesus I felt this sensation all over my body and I felt so safe! It Isn't some psyche affect, I felt such peace and calmnes. The Bible says: Whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. And It says: Cast all your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you. And when we do a peace of God, that trancends all understanding will guard our hearts and minds In Jesus Christ. And I walked through the forest, It felt so nice! If you declare with your mouth Jesus Is Lord, and believe In your heart God hath raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. Amen.

[@jakespacepiratee3740]

343 squandered so many opportunities with this game. We lost 1/3rds of the campaign, and future campaigns were cancelled, integral features were never added, and then Joseph Staten left, depriving us of the possibility of a neeHalo story made by the OG writer. Squandered potential doesn’t even come close, and I don’t trust Halo Studios is any better.

[@tookyohead]

All they had to do was put their heads down & keep making new seasons & not give up on infinite. If the next halo is half a dozen years away then priority number 1 should have been maintain infinite. Sadly after seasons stopped they lost probably half the player base. I haven’t played since & the queue times are looking terribly long. But losing half the player base of an already dwindling number of ppl. Can’t even get a game on halo unless it’s firefight. Quite sad.

It's far too little far too late plus a bunch of the same ol stuff people have been complaining about since launch. This doesn't give me any hope for the future of this game.

It’s a little unbelievable that after all this time this is one of the first actual new guns added since the launch of the game. I mean look at halo 5 how many weapons it had, it was an amazing amount but then when infinite launched they just said nah yall will be good with the bare minimum. Vehicles too! It’s just weird

[@9000Dogs]

It's because of Warzone in Halo 5: the sandbox itself was monetized through the REQ system. They added new guns for the sake of sales. The only monetized source in Infinite is the armor and FX, so that's all they've been working on. Was that a good idea? God no. But it's what they did.

[@pHixiq]

@@9000Dogs I mean even then, the unlock system in 5 is objectively better than infinite. You still could unlock everything just through playing and you never had to really “buy” anything. Yeah it could take a bit, roughly 7-10 games depending on your skill level. But it was so SO much better than having to pay $15+ for shit in infinite. And Warzone is what BTB 2.0 should have been. We have BTB 1.5 if you could even call it that Halo 5 wasn’t perfect but when you take a step back(which is what I’ve been trying to get everyone to do) and look at the sheer amount of FREE content and updates we had then you look at infinite, you’ll see how bad the community blundered that game. The campaign was shit I get it and the req system wasn’t ideal.

[@arbo-u2b]

Im very happy that they added the MA5k thank god for a new weapon finally but its very obviously a gun they added because they knew it would be an easy addition. It is really just a touched-up AR model that has a faster fire rate and more bullets in its magazine. The M7 SMG would've made more sense for the Halo 2 update but they would've had to make a totally unique model and animations. Also the leaked brute shotgun and Falcon that have been in the files for months when are they gonna get around to implementing those, most likely because they actually require more effort to implement.

8:20 As a gun nerd, I’m happy you pointed that out. I kinda felt alone thinking either it was bugging for me or there genuinely wasn’t an ejection port..

[@bigyoshi5170]

It was there, then I remembered I still owned Halo 2 and I personally erased Halo Infinite from everyone’s memory.

[@spryfilly8968]

I ain’t tryna be that guy but a third person resident evil styled Halo game is not at all what we want. There a million more important games that should be made first. We need a game that’s gonna bring back Halo fans back not scare them away.

[@proxywolfx]

How would third person scare away halo fans? You say there's a million more halo games that should be made but you say that like they would all just be first person games?

[@oreo-postraphe]

​@@proxywolfx because its another deviation from a formula that works in order to, again, somehow let 343 feel special

[@c_rock3512]

An ODST third person tactical shooter would kick ass. Think 2025 Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 but ODSTs.

[@proxywolfx]

@oreo-postraphe dude....your acting like Noone mods halo games to be 3rd person, one of halos earlier concepts was 3rd person for ce. You already have the 3rd person camera with a turret this is just fully implemented...and it's just a mode...it isn't really a deviation from formula

[@tookyohead]

They have no idea what we want. Fr

[@jackhamey659]

Despite everything about the new gun being trash, you’re like oh it’s from the lore so atleast it’s something.

[@josephcoffelt]

i think the 3rd person worked well was halo used 3rd person for when you use a turret which allowed the team to polish the view point

[@KhiGuy]

Omg you're 100% right it's the heads hot multiplier that makes the multi-player feel weird to me, I just realized it

[@darkharder6190]

Man I haven’t heard anyone talking about the headshot multiplier on ever gun making the game too competitive, but that’s spot on. Would love to see that be gone for all non precision weapons

[@Destroyer243]

I wish they would flesh out MCC so that I can play EVERY halo with my friends over cross platform... All we have is halo 3 and halo 3 ODST, and we would like to play more than just those 2...

[@jasperfox6821]

Isn't MCC crossplatform?

[@Destroyer243]

@jasperfox6821 unfortunately it's only half cross platform. I play on pc, but my friends are on xbox. I can't play anything other than halo 3 and halo 3 odst with them because it's not fully cross platform. This means we can't play halo ce, 2, reach, or 4 together...

[@silver333z]

For Halo 7 to succeed it needs: -Playable Elites -Progression and Armor customization akin to Reach -Campaign with a substantial story and replay value -Slayer, Team Slayer, Swat, Infection, BTB, Invasion, and BTB Heavies all on launch -Forge -Custom Games playlist -Ranked -Consistent updates of new weapons, armor, and PvE content -Firefight -Minimal changes to movement from Halo 3/Reach. (Sprint cannot be a thing unless it’s an armor ability with downsides like slow sprint to fire speed)

[@blain115]

that would be the dream, wouldn't it? I just don't know that if that's even possible with the climate of gaming were in right now

[@bendytheinkdemon3949]

played a lot of Gears of War so i know how 3rd person gameplay feels.

[@BiomechanicalBrick]

when i was just starting to play halo i struggled with the concept of weapon spawn locations, i thought they were just randomly strewn about the map. Infinite's weapon racks are a massive improvement. They also provide variety in different matches so you'll get to use more of the sandbox if you're getting the same map in matchmaking over and over

[@theycallmepeoples]

I'll quit halo if I can't have my first person shooter

[@Corranhorn122]

Straight up same

[@Syrus-jy8zv]

I have figured it out. All we need to do is start a couple therapy sessions between halo studios and the fans

[@Theson97]

I would be all over a ranked playlist with no sprint/slide/clamber. They can call it “boomer slayer” or something cuz honestly that’s what me and the OGs are in the Halo community 😂. Oh well I’ll just go back to MCC.

[@LordEmpyreal]

Everything in the game needs to be available for free. My personal idea of it being that there is a shop which expands as you play, and you earn credits in-game to spend at that shop. Basically in order to get something via gameplay there are three possible requirements, the first is having enough credits. The second is being a high enough level. (At this point more or less like Reach) The third is having completed a certain commendation tier, to borrow from Halo 4. I'd also really prefer it if the unlocks tied thematically to the commendations. For example, commendations relating to the Sniper Rifle would unlock cosmetics for the Sniper, and armor based on Snipers throughout the franchise, such as Jun's Scout and Linda's Argus. And then, so Halo Studios can make their bank, you'll have the ability to skip the entire unlock process on cosmetics with your wallet. That way, players who just want to buy stuff can go ahead and do it, while players who want to earn stuff can chase cosmetics the good old fashioned way. But in no way should these unlocks feel throttled any more than they would in a game without MTX. Getting everything in Halo Reach or 4 was a monumental task, I didn't hit Inheritor until Reach was 3 years old, and I don't even think I unlocked everything in H4, though I did get most of it. That kind of "we expect someone playing regularly for 2-3 years to be able to unlock everything" mentality should be present. If there even is a proper premium shop with stuff you can't unlock without spending money, it should *never* be pieces of armor or weapon/vehicle skins. Instead that's where you can find flashy effects, the stuff your Spartan canonically doesn't actually wear. Armor effects, footstep effects, spawning effects, vehicle trails, animated nameplates, glowing/animated visors even. All the stuff that isn't a clearly in-universe part of Spartan customization could go there. And then whenever new content gets launched, new cosmetics should be treated the same way they are in the base game too. There's some stuff just added to the shop with no new requirements, so you can spend credits at your leisure. But new updates also include new commendations to pursue based on whatever actual gameplay content got added, be it using a new weapon, playing a new mode, interacting with a new mechanic, or completing new PvE content.

[@jasperfox6821]

Well you can now, they added the exchange store a while ago where you can just unlock stuff with the free currency you get.

[@LordEmpyreal]

@jasperfox6821 The exchange is an *extremely* limited selection. It's no more than 20 items, and the credits gains are throttled so there's a hard cap on what you can earn daily, and seasonally. If you want anything good you might even need to save up over multiple operations and hope they don't remove it by the time you have enough. It's something, sure. But it's nowhere near as player friendly as it could be. Now if we could spend credits in the Armory, and credits were changed from a hard-limited daily challenge and battle pass reward into a match reward like Exp was we'd be getting somewhere. But until then it's still just not enough.

[@skullerton9858]

Seeing Mint Blitz's name on the other end of the killscreen feels surreal.

[@agus.lorenzo]

Third Person Halo is what I have been dreaming since 2006 when I first played Gears of War. This is a dream come true.

[@BiggestPlastic]

The new gun is just lazy

[@macktaylor4389]

The bit of shade lovingly tossed at Mint Blitz @ 0:50 😂😂

[@andyfriederichsen]

The MA5K carbine is a good edition to the sandbox, since it can fill the role of a close-range automatic weapon. I have to disagree with you about headshot multipliers. Precision weapons dominating the sandbox isn't fun.

[@TimelessVariation]

Reading the waypoint post seeing them talk about Spartans wearing Elite inspired armor without any playable Elites is agonizing.

[@Biomancy]

They should give us a dedicated 1st person mode too then that never kicks you into 3rd person for driving a vehicle or using a turret.

[@Godzilla_Beast_of_Revelation]

I already know that they're gonna do nothing for the Campaign tho😑

[@aspenator42]

I agree with your gripe about weapon lockers! It is such a small aesthetic thing, but I kind of despise it for the se reasons you mentioned

[@noahspencer7012]

If I can get the Classic AR model on the new MA5K, I'm sold.

[@SHMOUSEY86]

They genuinely need to sell the IP to someone who's actually going to do something with it. The fact that they're updating a AAA game for the first time in 3 years is _scary_ levels of incompetence. We joke about games like Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League, but at least that game had *multiple* content drops for its 10s of players actually playing it.

[@stevemc6010]

honestly did not expect Infinite to get another weapon at this stage Hope to see more than just UNSC bullpup variations from here on though - Covenant Carbine, Fuel Rod Gun pls! Also hope a touched up version of that Sniper Rifle skin is used from here on, miss the original H2/3 model that heavily resembles the Denel NTW-20
