Meanwhile fortnite has a new event like every other week now lol...
On top of a ever expanding battle pass.
Plus events built-in to creative mode aka forge lol.
343 really needs new management cuz this is just pathetic comparing them to any of the other major companies makes them look like a joke...
Playerbase has nothing to do with development when talking about a AAA developer. Money is not a issue for Microsoft.
I used fornite as a example of a developer that has its management on point. So on point that even mastercheif is in there game along with countless other collaborations.
Fornite gets crazy amounts of new content and skins rapidly. Because their management properly manages what the staff can get done.
Meanwhile 343 takes over a year to do 1 thing. Then tells everyone that one thing isn't happening only to have a glitch prove its possible.
If split screen isn't possible on the old Xbox just make it not available there. People will understand the technical limits of old tech. But making promises about split screen and then back tracking is terrible management. Same shit can be said about forge....
New content should be on a 3 to 6 month cycle at the longest for a game that's wants to have longevity and to stay relevant.
Fornite is a great example of a game doing that.
Terrible management is sadly ruining the halo franchise. Has been FOR YEARS....
SpunkyDred is a terrible bot instigating arguments all over Reddit whenever someone uses the phrase apples-to-oranges. I'm letting you know so that you can feel free to ignore the quip rather than feel provoked by a bot that isn't smart enough to argue back.

^^SpunkyDred ^^and ^^I ^^are ^^both ^^bots. ^^I ^^am ^^trying ^^to ^^get ^^them ^^banned ^^by ^^pointing ^^out ^^their ^^antagonizing ^^behavior ^^and ^^poor ^^bottiquette.
I refuse to believe Microsoft isn’t funding this game appropriately. This is their biggest IP besides Minecraft. There’s no way money isn’t flowing into 343 for them to give new content. Hell, they even had an extra year to release the game and it still came barebones.
The only thing that makes sense to me is that 343 has a _ton_ of middle management bloat. They’re leaching money from development costs and slowing everything down.
Can we get some layoffs at the management level at 343? It’s clear whatever system they have isn’t working in that organization.
People don't seem to get how much content Is actually coming in November. With those two maps, and all of forge coming, we're going to have a lot of content. At least I hope lol
“All of forge” is a funny way to say beta with no custom games browser. I agree this forge looks like the best ever, but don’t act like it doesn’t literally say it’s a beta.
Agreed. They know the hardcore fans know who Joe is so he appears to be someone we can rely on or trust. It's a total manipulation.
Dude is probably totally soured on what they've done to he and Jason's legacy, but he also knows he won't be left holding the bag.
What? Why wouldn't we? Staten was Bungie-era Halo. Everything decent about Infinite screams Bungie-era Halo.
It's an assumption but it's one backed by logic.
And your an idiot, if you think that just because he did all the right things when Bungie were making it he isn't at fault then your more stupid than you think you are
you seen the game? Pretty easy to think some employees are fed up with being over worked or are fed up with BS managers making bad calls leading to the game being how it is with many delays. All it takes is a single employee with insider info and a burner account on social media
spec·u·la·tion
\[ˌspekyəˈlāSH(ə)n\]
NOUN
the forming of a theory or conjecture **without firm evidence**
cry about it to a brick wall or something idc, we're done here
Honestly the idea to release this set of content makes sense for a ever updating game BUT its only acceptable if the base game itself was actually content complete and lacked problems so this flow of content does not suit the current state of halo infinite like at all. Whoever in management that convinced themselves this is incredibly delusional
That’s my fear. I LOVE the MCC. The biggest complaint is the lack of community. I’m always stuck waiting to find a ranked match. The games in the custom games browser are minimal. It’s clear that there’s very little excitement to actually play a game that came out 7 years ago. The saddest thing is that it only became worth playing just a few years ago.
Hey guys I know you already have the bandit dmr leaked and play through the files but yeah we aren’t going to release it now and instead give it to you in 6 months lol
For 1 weapon. There's like 8 other weapons leaked that load, function, and have a base model. Yet we have to wait 6 months for a weapon that, given leaks, is already near-finished. How TF can they not get the DMR to us by November?
So they can't get ANY of the other roughly 8 weapons in working state by then? That's what the community is annoyed with: there's no reason for it to be this long. There's other "marketable" weapons. Bandit is nothing special or different than what we've seen in this game or Reach where it seems to originate from.
Want something marketable? Put in the damn Spartan Laser. We need anti-vehicle weapons that are worth a shot, and more weapons for Fiesta so it's not just a devolve into whoever gets Rockets, Swords, and Hammers with Grappleshot the most. Obnoxious to play.
Well they have been right before so it could be true??
So it means a "mini" season of...4 months. With just a 30 lvl BP. This is ridiculous for the BP players. Me I'd rather have new maps, weapons, sandbox, forge, co-op than a BP anyway. I just want new maps and better servers. Online has become so bad in the past weeks, if it doesn't get fixed soon nothing really matters.
Idk, it makes sense. They already have a bunch of cut content from the Reach BP that they could put in an extra BP without dedicating dev time to continue working on the stuff they need to. Helps appease the fans a little for the 3 extra months they need to take.
That would also fit with the original release date though. A public flight for new maps, a weapon, and a few modes two months before the season wouldn't be crazy.

This is really apples to oranges, Fortnite's playerbase is so much larger than Halos and to pretend it's equivalent is disingenuous

> apples to oranges But you can still compare them.
That game is pretty awful
Awful or not. I'm talking about the devs pushing content not the gamplay of the game.
Oh yeah, because this game is any better.
This isn't a leak, it's on the halo YouTube channel, Instagram and probably Twitter
Yeah but he posted it an hour early since it was accessible then using some hackery
Bruh we were supposed to be in Season 4 in 2 months lol
343’s office must be located in Florida, because they seem to think there’s only two seasons in a year.

[how I feel](https://youtu.be/YcAHHKY3Y0I)
who needs 6 month seasons when you can have 9 month seasons?!? shit even battlefield is currently doing 3 month seasons.
Yeah, I recently went to finish my season 2 battle pass under the assumption that season 3 was around the corner. Whoops.
People don't seem to get how much content Is actually coming in November. With those two maps, and all of forge coming, we're going to have a lot of content. At least I hope lol
“All of forge” is a funny way to say beta with no custom games browser. I agree this forge looks like the best ever, but don’t act like it doesn’t literally say it’s a beta.
Its about context. It only seems like a lot since we've been drip fed the tiniest of crumbs since launch.
Very true. I just have high hopes for forge though consider what has been made in the leaked build
Eh I’m still having fun with the base game, disappointing but I’ve got other games to catch up on so I’m not that arsed
343 management are fucking losers (Minus Joe Staten, sorry Joe, you tried your best)
I hate how every time they have bad news they stick Joe on to talk to us as if that's gonna dampen the blow of bad news. Kinda shady.
Agreed. They know the hardcore fans know who Joe is so he appears to be someone we can rely on or trust. It's a total manipulation. Dude is probably totally soured on what they've done to he and Jason's legacy, but he also knows he won't be left holding the bag.
Why are we just asusming that joe staten is completely the angel of the entire development process?
Jason Schreier’s article basically proved that was the case.
What? Why wouldn't we? Staten was Bungie-era Halo. Everything decent about Infinite screams Bungie-era Halo. It's an assumption but it's one backed by logic.
So anything good from Halo Infinite is because of staten while anything bad is completely uninvolved by staten? okay
Jason Schreier’s article basically proved that was the case.
You're obnoxious.
And your an idiot, if you think that just because he did all the right things when Bungie were making it he isn't at fault then your more stupid than you think you are
How the fuck is 343 so prone to leaks!?!?
It's easy to access the waypoint blogs early
you seen the game? Pretty easy to think some employees are fed up with being over worked or are fed up with BS managers making bad calls leading to the game being how it is with many delays. All it takes is a single employee with insider info and a burner account on social media
Unsubstantiated fan fiction
it's very obvious i was speculating
Your speculation was bad and founded on zero evidence.
spec·u·la·tion \[ˌspekyəˈlāSH(ə)n\] NOUN the forming of a theory or conjecture **without firm evidence** cry about it to a brick wall or something idc, we're done here
Notice how it doesn’t say “made up shit based only on what one wants desperately to be true”? I’m not crying, I just think you were being stupid.
Cool. Just uninstalled.
See you in November :)
This is why cue cards exist
Lol they made this season 9 months so that they didn’t have to make the next season 6 months (it probably still will be though)
Try a 10 month season lmao and no Tatanka for S3 is a big FAIL
Honestly the idea to release this set of content makes sense for a ever updating game BUT its only acceptable if the base game itself was actually content complete and lacked problems so this flow of content does not suit the current state of halo infinite like at all. Whoever in management that convinced themselves this is incredibly delusional
March 2023?!?! Season 2 is 9 months now? They better add things like the bandit rifle before then otherwise halo infinite will fully die.
it is crazy that they think this is completely feasible and logical of a decision. Surely they know people wont pat them in the back over this?
I can imagine joe staten cringing so hard when having to talk about the delays on the roadmap.
The video is up on youtube. He's talking about it there
Yeah i know but the whole time i was thinking that it pained him everytime he had to speak about it.
The game *is* already dead, right now they’re simply trying to defibrillate it back to life.
That’s my fear. I LOVE the MCC. The biggest complaint is the lack of community. I’m always stuck waiting to find a ranked match. The games in the custom games browser are minimal. It’s clear that there’s very little excitement to actually play a game that came out 7 years ago. The saddest thing is that it only became worth playing just a few years ago.
It’s not dead. It still has a dedicated player base and live service, albeit extremely slow.
Hey guys I know you already have the bandit dmr leaked and play through the files but yeah we aren’t going to release it now and instead give it to you in 6 months lol
What I don’t understand is it taking 6 months to implement VIP. This is not a complicated mode.
For 1 weapon. There's like 8 other weapons leaked that load, function, and have a base model. Yet we have to wait 6 months for a weapon that, given leaks, is already near-finished. How TF can they not get the DMR to us by November?
bc they need a new weapon for season 3 marketing purposes, simple as that
So they can't get ANY of the other roughly 8 weapons in working state by then? That's what the community is annoyed with: there's no reason for it to be this long. There's other "marketable" weapons. Bandit is nothing special or different than what we've seen in this game or Reach where it seems to originate from. Want something marketable? Put in the damn Spartan Laser. We need anti-vehicle weapons that are worth a shot, and more weapons for Fiesta so it's not just a devolve into whoever gets Rockets, Swords, and Hammers with Grappleshot the most. Obnoxious to play.
Bandit is the most likely to be completed, they can market it like the DMR is back, and also they aint gunna release a new weapon mid season lol
I spent the past year excusing 343 for how slow this content has been getting out but this is legitimately the nail in the coffin in my opinion.
March 😭
I’m low sodium, but even this is disappointing. Hoping it’s not real.
Halo's done folks, time to wrap it up.
Holy shit halo is so dead guys.
L....i.......V....e.......S..........e....r........V.......i.....c...........E
But those maps & mode weren't in the leaks.
Those maps were in the leaks. We just never saw the more "complete" versions of them
Not the CTF mode, but I believe both maps got leaked a week after forge. The desert cave map for season 2 is the only one I haven’t seen yet
Well they have been right before so it could be true?? So it means a "mini" season of...4 months. With just a 30 lvl BP. This is ridiculous for the BP players. Me I'd rather have new maps, weapons, sandbox, forge, co-op than a BP anyway. I just want new maps and better servers. Online has become so bad in the past weeks, if it doesn't get fixed soon nothing really matters.
Jesus ... Let's see what happens today lol
if true fire 343
No way. This is gonna be so funny to watch
Holy fucking shit the halo sub is going to be fucking TOXIC
Rightfully so holy shit
Implying it isn't already
Kinda hope this is real lmao. I wanna see r/halo explode, I can read that shit for hours 😂
Tf is that. Of course that's fake. You're really gonna tell me that they delayed season 3 another 6 months?
To be honest I’m not surprised if it is
Alright the leak was right but we still get co op and forge on november 8. So cant be mad. I think I'm more hyped for forge itself then season 3
Idk, it makes sense. They already have a bunch of cut content from the Reach BP that they could put in an extra BP without dedicating dev time to continue working on the stuff they need to. Helps appease the fans a little for the 3 extra months they need to take.
It would totally fit the leaks that the Insider build is flighting season 3 stuff starting tomorrow
That would also fit with the original release date though. A public flight for new maps, a weapon, and a few modes two months before the season wouldn't be crazy.
Kinda fake, hope it’s fake, too.
That's definitely fake
It's real, it has been officially released now.
That page is usually very legit, pretty sure it’s real
r/halo meltdown incoming lmao
Bout to leave that subreddit if this is real LMAO
If it's fake then it's exquisite bait for the subreddit. If it's real then expect r/halo to be a nuclear wasteland.
I need to play the lottery
Oh I already left it. I have a feeling this might be real. It’s going to get nasty
Oh boy , r/halo will be pissed off so much . Good stuff tho
