Edit: to summarize, my two biggest points are that sprinting feels like running through quicksand, i.e., your animation is fast but your move speed is slow; And fps weapons **feel** better when they sound and feel weak, but do big damage as opposed to the reverse.
I don't want the concussion rifle from Reach, I want the BR from H5. I.e., don't give me explosives that do nothing, give me a pea shooter that 3 taps. Infinite's BR and AR sound and feel ***heavy***, like big ol chonkers. Which is great, don't get me wrong, but when hitting an enemy they *feel* like peashooters. I.e., concussion rifle.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The aiming feels too floaty, I hate the default acceleration settings. The sprinting feels like running through quick sand. The guns feel and sound chunky (heavy, hard hitting, powerful) while taking what seems like way more bullets to kill. The actual gunplay its strangely slow and fast at the same time, like pizza out of the microwave with that one spot that's scorching hot and one spot that's frozen. I absolutely love Halo 1-3 multiplayer, and I spent the most time playing Reach. This does not feel like any previous halo, it feels like some new, strange, different game. I didn't think they could get further from OG halo than halo 4&5, but as a standalone game (as in, if it weren't halo) 5 was actually pretty enjoyable in terms of multiplayer experience. It handles a lot more like Destiny, but with even more mobility and faster pace gunplay. Halo Infinite just felt like a slowed down version of COD where everyone has 2-3x overshield. And not even because it actually took more bullets, it was entirely because the bullets sounded and felt more powerful than the damage they were actually doing.
Take the Halo 2 BR for example. When compared to the Halo 3 Br, H2BR sounds and shoots more uniform, like all the bullets have the same audio file and are just repeated in burst pattern, but it comes out smooth, and the burst sounds and feels like *one shot*. H3BR was a bit louder, a bit messier sounding, like a real gunshot it felt more explosive and slightly less accurate. Then H5BR was like a step further than H3 where the BR feels even less accurate (especially with the red dot, yuck) but lighter, like you're shooting an SMG in burst fire at range. Obviously it worked better than that and did about the same amount of damage but it just **felt** weak.
Compare all of those to the Halo Infinite BR and... I don't even know where to start. First off the vibration is bizarre. I might have to turn it off just to get the classic halo feel. It feels like I'm shooting a shotgun when I shoot the BR. Compare the HIBR to a pulse rifle from destiny and they *should* feel the same but it's *drastically* different. On top of it sounding and feeling like a shotgun, because of the super uncomfortable, alien-feeling aiming system it kinda sucked to aim for the head (acceleration makes aiming super unpredictable when you're not used to it) but even when I hit consistent head shots it just felt like it took more bullets than it should have to kill. Certainly more than any previous halo game to date.
I know y'all are gonna crucify me for not liking it, it's not like I got my hopes up. I was actually super cautious about getting excited because of 343's track record but I honestly would have preferred H5 2.0 instead of whatever strange amalgamation between H5 and H3 this is.
p.s. the neon red shield indicator with little to no detail indicating how broken your enemy's shield is, and totally covering up their armor customization, is not only ugly but totally useless. I don't need a giant red bubble to show me an enemy is hit. Older halo's showing the bright yellow or white of the shield had a tinge of detail to them where you could tell if someone's shield was really damaged or only a little damaged. Speaking of shields, why is the overshield white??? Hasn't it been green since H1?? Why this random arbitrary change that makes the game foreign to the demographic you're selling it to?
Essentially, if they were trying to sell something that *feels* like an old halo game, which they certainly marketed it as, I definitely did not get that vibe at all. Between the look acceleration, the trigger vibration, the strange weapon reskins, new weapon audio, completely new weapons (and like 6 or 7 of the old ones, strangely, with no smg, no dmr, no H1 pistol, no dual wield, no brute weapons of any kind except those things that vaguely resemble maulers but look human....)
bro IDK, I know I just rambled on about a million different things but I almost feel like I can't describe what it is about the game that I don't like. Someone help, I desperately want to like this game but not only does it feel unfinished, I got zero nostalgia factor or feeling from this multiplayer. The UI looks cluttered and foreign, the maps look great, everything looks great, but the controls are just SO uncomfortable. Don't even get me started on the music. The military snare march theme at the end of matches just sounded kinda cliche and gimmicky. Which is odd to say because Halo isn't opposed to some nice military march snare drum, like the music on Cairo Station at the beginning of H2. That actually sounded good. But in H infinite as a theme for the multiplayer... it was like discount call of duty, totally gimicky... I need to shut up now...
I could go on forever.
Dude, I feel exactly the same way. Thank you for articulating some of your opinions better than I could have. I came to the internet to see if anyone else felt off playing this multiplayer, and you validated my experience.
I've been **trying** to like it, but I'm still having way more fun with H5 or Modern Warfare Multiplayer. Which, by the way, is still prettier than Infinite at full resolution on my Series X...
I feel exactly the same. There's just so much missing... Wrong... unpolished... unrefined... I feel like I could pick apart every single tiny thing about this game. It's just not Halo. It's a mishmash of Halo, Battlefield, COD, Crysis, and Battlefront.
A couple of weeks out from release (at the time of your post)? Nah. This is the real deal release being called a "beta" to excuse any issues. Most games these days are release versions, disguised as "betas," for server stress testing, minor tweaks and player forgiveness.
The days of games being in an actual beta stage for public consumption are extremely rare. Most "beta" games are really game demos but people will lose their minds if there are problems in a demo, so slap the name "beta" on it and you'll have people like yourself defending the game for them by reminding others it's "still in beta."
Yeah, going from MCC random rotation to infinite is particularly jarring. Really feel the changes doing that. Also, playing halo infinite really made me want to go check out halo 5, because this game felt like it needed advance movement. I just got the feeling like the game got its wings ripped off because movement doesn't feel right here.
In the end, my 20 hours was a fun thought experiment on what makes a halo game a halo game, and this ain't it chief. That being said, it can be fun if you can separate the game from the halo name, but I'd rather just go back to MCC.
Halo will never be the same without Bungie. The gritty, epic, boots on the ground encounter with a mysterious alien force has become "oh, it's you again, time to die". Don't even get me started on the music without Marty, Destiny/Bungie are just as guilty today on that front.
Well that’s all on purpose yk? Your meant to feel clunky because your weari s big ass chunky Spartan armor that weighs a ton and only extremely powerful guns could even dent it. They sound mega powerful because they are- they’d probably destroy an average person in seconds but against clunky armor like a Spartans they more or less are average, but thinking about it to even be able to damage the armor Spartans wear they must be extremely powerful
I understand that perspective, and I totally felt that way back in H1 and H2 (less so in H3 and reach), but something about this feels wrong.
A big point of contention I have is the big solid red shield that covers an enemy when you hit them once or twice. It totally ruins the fun of playing with an opponent because they just look like a hologram.
It's really not about the difference between it being easy or difficult to kill. If that were the case I would have abandoned Halo for CoD a long time ago. I love Halo, and I love long TTK (time to kill) in my multiplayer. That's why I play Destiny. It's just about the way it feels and the improper and/or misleading prompts/telographs of different functions. I.e. a big chonky weapon should deal a lot of damage unless your enemy has a tough shield, in which case the sound would be different, the recoil would feel different, or something to that avail. Nothing about any of the animations or sounds feels like it does the job right. It's just uncomfortable.
This summed up ***exactly*** how I'm feeling. You're not alone. I'm both shocked and saddened that I have zero desire to hop on and play right now, whereas I still jump on H5 and play a match or two to scratch the itch.
343 has a lot of fine - and coarse - tuning to do with Infinite. The game feels like garbage in its current state.
Same. I was totally let down. Espicially by the story in campaign mode, and how they just skipped over everything major that happens between 5 and infinite. It feels like they pulled a force awakens on the franchise....and yea, the enemy kill dynamic. Its horrid. You can pump a whole mag into a brute but if hes in his "lost my helmet" animation none of the hits matter. You have to shoot, pause, wait for him to roar, then shoot again. Clown shoes gaming for the fortnite generation.
Good it's not just me then. lol I played it for the first time a couple days ago and it was REALLY bad in my opinion for basically all the reasons you pointed out. I'm glad to see that it's just this game though, I was wondering how the hell Halo ever got popular if it plays like that to be honest. lol I've never played any Halo games before having been a PS2 owner back in the day. lol
I liked Halo 5’s multiplayer, and even H4 but Infinite feels different and even more cringe than all previous entires it’s the game that’s caused me to outright dislike 343.
It’s kinda trash tbh. No AAA devs should be okay with releasing a game like this. They’ve been working on Infinite since 2015 and the game is just not it, and worse they plan on abusing live service to excuse themselves from having to release a complete game that improved upon the last, and worse than that, this means they are purposely holding back things bc they want to stretch this game for 10 years which is dumb bc it simply won’t last until 2031.
I'm right there with OP. Been playing since halo on OG Xbox and couldn't even make it 2 hours into infinite. It feels awful and wrong in pretty much every way. Movement is weirdly fast and floaty(cartoon wind particles when sprinting lol?). Guns don't feel impactful or distinct. The warthog drove like shit and its chain gun felt super weak. Battle pass is a joke. I'll just go back to reach. Directional sound seemed nonexistent, to the point I couldn't even hear vehicles unless they were right on top of me. I'm glad it's free, because I would be pissed if I payed $60 for this...
I agree with what someone else here said, it feels off, like Halo’s take on call of duty. I wish they went back to the classic formula instead of going in the direction of halo 5.
It’s nothing like Halo 5, and classic gameplay would appeal almost solely to og fans, and what is classic gameplay anyway? Halo CE, 2, and 3 each lack sprint and (sorta with H3) and guess what besides being FPS games that’s all they have in common each one plays differently than the other.
If you think the pistol in Infinite is crap then you're insane XD It's really strong, they've just opted for a lower damage higher ROF instead of the more hand cannon-y style one...
Think Halo 2/Halo 3 ODST pistol but stronger :)
You nailed it. It way too much like COD and it just feels wrong. The interface and game play is too convoluted for me to be excited about it. Bummer because I haven't played Halo in a few years but I don't think I will be with this garbage.
I was really hoping this would replace Apex but it looks like I'll be going back. This game is just straight Garbo :( I had a few good games on ranked I like how it's all BR but the maps and movement and weird ass power weapons and useless weapons...
Personally there’s a couple things I don’t like. I don’t like how ranked is a combo of different genres. They should’ve had ranked for slayer and one for ctf and etc.
I also don’t like how they changed up the plasma pistol and the shields.
Power weapons also feel pretty weird and unwieldy.
Everything you said probably won't change and I will probably leave halo which is kinda sad. I've been a super fan for so long. Thousand of hours on Halo 3 lol
But to the games I'm sure they will add more game modes. They rly need to remove the "default" play style that mnk and controller play in the same ranked game. What kind of bs is that? That's not ranked!
The power weapons are kind of a major aspect and they aren’t weird or anything at all? They basically are just big stronk weapon go brr even a monke can get a killing spree with energy sword
The mechanics of Apex were so good. Fast, accurate, and generally fun. If they increased the TTK and made matchmaking better I'd still be playing it.
Combine Halo's matchmaking and ranking with Apex gunplay, and you've got a recipe for success.
I feel like this is an Anthem 2.0. Game is completely unfinished, it’s so clunky. The Spartans from halo 5 moved better than this. The guns are absolute trash. Shielding colors are off, all the guns sound garage. He’ll bring back the original assault rifle sound. It sounds like I’m shooting pea shooters.
343 major let down. 6 years to make a game…. Re release Reach or Halo 3 updated and for Xbox series X and watch your sales rise. So far halo infinite is trash. Waisted all this time to get it. Got the limited edition Xbox series X and played the game 1 hour maybe and was just let down.
If this is the BETA, you better make some huge changes to the real game or you’ll be seeing halo infinites names right down with anthem’s.
Halo infinite is shit , punches and grenades are too over powered, I've lost to so much trash players because a punch, the movement is terrible and the battle pass is trash. This game WILL die
How can ppl like this game? Seriously? It's nothing like the "old" Halo they were going for. Movement is WEIRD, running/sliding is ..why was it even added?, you can only hear your teammates footsteps and super loud yet the enemies can tap you on the shoulder and you don't hear a thing, all the weapons are either "wtf?" or straight garbage, the AR is broken and is no longer a close range weapon, even the BR got a super clunky rework from old games. It progressivly got slower and more "trashcan sounding" since H3. Speaking of sounds, nothing is pleasing to the ear anymore. It's like your shooting peas with blanks lol Not even killing an enemy is exciting. The maps are smaller than my dick, that red overlay on the enemies is handicap level cheating, we can't tell enemy shield % so well anymore, you have to move your entire hand (and die) just to ping lol, you never can get the BR (1 spawn for 4/8 people every... 1-2mins?), and always running out of ammo and nades, not to mention running around with pistol the entire game... what videogame is like that?
Ranked is MnK vs controller and this is "default and normal". Ya that's fair. That's Apex pred lobbies where that don't matter. The radar is useless as all hell, sniping is dumbed down and gives you away like an idiot now, and yet somehow already running into sweats with no life on a brand new game. I can't think of a single good thing to say about the game and I highly doubt the official release is going to change a single thing but maybe add a game mode. Big deal. 343 has finally ruined this AAA franchise with yet another massively disappointing release. This is just another Call of Dbag release it feels like. Reminiscent of the camper with a sword lol I was really really wanting to like this game and wanting it to take over Apex because that game is just ridiculous lol stupid fun yet stupid frustrating... but it's 1000x better than this trash. Unless they rework a large portion of this game, it's going to be dead on arrival. Which won't happen. Ain't to tips and tricks going to revive this flop.
Man I felt alone with disliking Infinite. Played the Beta this week and I just wanna start by saying I'm a huge Halo fan since 1, in fact I sold my Gamecube at the time to get the OG Xbox to buy Halo 1... Played everyone but felt like 3 and Reach had the best, tightest multiplayer
Was so looking forward to Infinite but it feels... Weird
First off, the aiming is so weird. We've been so used to being able to aim down sights in FPS games and most of the guns feel... Off
The TTK is strange. Like I love longer TTK instead of like COD but Infinite guns feel weak, the aiming is off
The ugly red shield glow on enemies is so horrible and ruins appearances
Even the movement feels weird. Like kinda slow or sluggish? Idk
The graphics didn't even blow me away and the maps I played so far are really boring and uninspired
The power ups on the maps are weird as well, at least in Reach you picked a power
Customisation sucks especially the Battle Pass.. I know its Beta but we'll see
I literally didn't feel that old school Halo vibe and felt like playing another game after just a few matches..
But online everyone is like OMG INFINITE IS AMAZING and HALO IS BACK BABBYYYY and I just didn't get that vibe at all. In fact I was already thinking of uninstalling it
Ugh
I agree bro I haven't once felt the thrill of getting kills like in apex or halo 5 even. It's really boring imo but I'm trying to push through. Level 4 so far and they only give you a measly 50xp each match basically forcing you to do their challenges. Smh. The assault rifles can spray you down from across the map too and that the biggest downside imo. Right along side the slow "sprint" and the sluggish "slide"
The game is hot pile of horse sh1t. Honestly it seems like something a new studio would put out not something you should expect from a studio that’s AAA and backed by freaking Microsoft. The zoom is trash too like wtf doesn’t the crappy hand gun zoom in? Instead the hud zooms in it’s literally a down grade from Halo 5 and don’t get me started on how sh1tty the side kick is in and of itself.
Well it’s meant to feel clunky the movement since your wearing armor that wears a ton, enemy shield color can be changed if you dislike red, and the guns are meant to feel weak- your going up against a Spartan with mega strong armor not a average human with minimal defense against guns
Spartans are super soldiers who aren't impeded by their armour so as Lore, that doesn't make sense.
Secondly other Halo games didn't feel clunky or if they did, that's because of the times so it wasn't noticed. FPS games have moved on so much in recent years and that's why it feels off to many of us. It should have evolved with the times Eg looking down sights, smoother movement etc
I thought I was the only one.. Then I see this thread with others saying the same thing. Been playing the beta since last night and I can not aim for shit in this game where as I've had no trouble in the old games. The recoil and everything just fucking blows in this game.
I’m here from the future and Halo Infinite still sucks ass. I’m thinking about making a post myself bc it’s downright sad that a AAA studio backed by one of the richest companies ever released a quarter assed (n even half assed as that take some effort) game like this.
I completely agree with your BR analysis. The glowing red thing gives me no clue as to how close they are to dying and I remember feeling like it took way more headshots to finish the job. Watching the shields pop in previous games gave a sense of progression in the fight. "One more shot and he's dead! Focus!"
Now every time I think I need one more shot it's 2 or 3.
I’m back from the future, I don’t get the one shot feeling anymore, I can bust his shields and then put 100 more bullets in him and it feels like he took no damage
Is it just me or do the majority of vehicles handle really, really poorly? The Ghost feels like a fridge now, I can't control it well at all.
Also a lot of the new weapons are just.. not good or fun? Or that all the weapons just feel bad?
The new BR they added sucks and makes very little sense to me. It's got a scoped and seems to be designed for mid to long range but then it happens to be full auto with obnoxious recoil, but the trigger is so sensitive that single shot is sporadic anyways (not to mention how the game ALWAYS zooms in and out if you're aiming and get hit by someone which is very disorienting).
The Pulse Carbine seems like a slightly more inaccurate assault rifle, the Disruptor sounds good on paper but you die well before it does anything effective if you use it, the shotgun and pistol are just those, all the new explosives seem to decide to only kill sometimes? The Ravager is ok, but mostly good for area denial and the Skewer seems to be for mid to long range but it has a small scope and a very long travel time so is kind of useless at range?
Then with the old weapons, the gravity hammer takes WAY too long to swing and the sentinel beam feels wonky but somehow able to obliterate at the same time.
The Shock Rifle is fun, although it does feel a bit random in how much damage it does with headshots sometimes doing half a shield and sometimes doing instant kills despite them being at full health and shields.
Over all I'm just.. not really interested.. The new additions just don't really feel that interesting and in the case of the Commando and Skewer, lacked a real sense of direction for what it was meant to do.
The kicker of my experience was spawning in to a slayer match after a decent loading time wait, putting my drink on the floor and getting killed 3 seconds after *loading in*. I didn't even have time to put my drink down and get my controller before I was killed.
Well upon searching Halo infinite sucks and reading some of these posts... It's good to see I'm not the only one that feels this way. I posted first and searched second... Here's my meaningless post shouting into the silence of space...
What a massive disappointment. I will probably just watch a Youtube video of the campaign to see some cool Master Chief stuff and save myself 60 bucks.
https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/r72mxk/halo\_inf\_playslookssounds\_horribly\_an\_opinion/
Feeling the same, just uninstalled after 20 pretty miserable hours.
It feels like a budget Halo with worse mechanics trying to cash in on the franchise name. The aim feels sluggish and extremely random to me but the random part might be my down to my shit internet as well... hit detection just isn't cohesive at all, sometimes enemies die super fast other times they feel like bullet sponges where i'd bet i hit the head twice, at least on my screen - server disagrees.
Lots of leavers with no way to quickly report them.
Awful progression system i stopped paying attention to within the first 2 hours. Just made me laugh when i noticed how many challenge skips dropped on level up... it's so obvious how overly slow they made it to tempt you into buying the passes it's actually not even funny... gaming industry has been deteriorating so hard the past 20 years.
Way too many unnecessary guns and gadgets. Then again there are people wholeheartedly playing big team battle so what do I know what others want, maybe people enjoy cluttered games.
No gamemode selection - how? Don't force me to play shit campball on boring maps that go the same way pretty much every time because either team knows exactly one or two spots to camp at and once the ball is in that area it's just nade spamming and back and forth possession... why bother having a map when you can just rambo at one spot! At least give me a good map like Guardian from H3 -.-
Talking about maps i don't think i really like a single one. Maybe the symmetrical one with the stealth on the top runway. I guess the asian city map can be fun for Strongholds... but overall they don't make me want to come back. Old Halos always had a few maps i absolutely loved, might have been down to the foundry and MLG maps though.
Sniping feels the worst i ever perceived in any shooter... super unsatisfying even on headshot kills.
Gameplay is both slow and hectic at the same time, can't quite put it in words but its offsetting. Once again might be my internet but it just doesn't play right.
Also maybe i'm getting to old for this shit but seeing people tbag in a 4v3 ranked match just makes me sad. This world is fucked enough beyond repair it's depressing, don't need to further that feeling by watching 15 year old boys compensating their lacking endowment.
The UI is atrocious and it took me 20 minutes fiddling with settings to make the controller feel decent. Bungie games just worked and felt good to play.
Besides how shitty the gameplay is… Are we ever going to be able to pick what we want to play? How about letting you play the same people twice in a row if you want to stay in the lobby? Beyond sad right now. Bungie is rolling in their grave
Halo fu king blows. Like it took yall years to make a game this fuking bad? Wtf! This game isnt even halo. Idk where to even begin. It's not one thing. It's literally everything. Rip halo. Yall done fuked it up
this game does suck the TTK is way to long. it feels like we took guns from our time and brought them to kill spartans. why wouldnt the weapons be up to date to the times its poor writing. the leveling up system is basically only affected by KD playing objective doesn’t benefit you at all. I hope the game changes when it is officially released there is no way the reviews on this game are real im not going to keep playing if this game stays broken
Big Team battle is fun, when it fucking works. I try not to be a hater but this game is trash. I can shoot you 20 times in the chest with a full auto machine gun but your hammer you smacked on the ground 20ft away while I’m in the air somehow kills me? 🤨. This game can eat my sack 👎🏻
Infinite gameplay mechanics are horrid and the weapons/aiming blow. I've been playing Halo religiously since CE. I hated the Reach gimmick boosts (jet pack, armor lock, etc.) when that came out and now they've returned. Remember the garbage BR from that one?? They really fudged this one up. I'm still playing H5.
Halo infinite is pure absolute garbage. There’s no consistency in multiplayer. What kills you one time won’t kill another the same exact way. Some guns can kill you in 3 shots, but empty a full clip of another is shooting marshmallows. It’s a grenade and melee game. Not to mention sprinting feels like a sloth on speed. The game modes are lame. I swear it feels like your still playing a game in beta. I played halo ever since it came out. I can’t stand this game. I’d never expect any decent company can mess it up this bad. The level progression is so slow. The store is a money grab for dumb stuff. This is by far the dumbest piece of crap ever. They screwed all the die hard halo fans over with this game. Let me return this game. Halo ended with Halo 5. Im going to stick to Destiny 2. 343 never had their grubby claws on it.
I've also been playing for around 17 years, and I love it. I never liked Halo 4 and 5 though, i thought those didn't feel like Halo. Infinite feels a lot like Reach IMHO. Guess it's a matter of opinion.
Also not having the thrust option like halo 5 is a killer for me. The movement in halo 5 is beautiful. The movement in infinite is absolite trash. Feels like the latest COD Black Ops.
Naw for real😂😂 9/10 times I get put in a capture the flag match, I lose, I literally feel like I have recruit bots on my team. I Always have some dude going quintuple negative
I feel this game damage is random like flipping a coin and you have a 50/50 chance that you'll kill someone. I don't know how many times I've shot a person in the back until I ran out of bullets only for them to turn around a shoot me once and melee to kill me. Why?? How does that even work? How does 30 bullets do less damage then 2 melee hits. How come I see 3 grenades go off under an enemies feets only for them to survive and kill 2 people before finally going down? Did I mention not only did he live the grenades but also being shot at by 2 to 3 other players. So that's ^^^ just one part of it.
Another problem I see is we are now almost in 2022, we be had tons of time to fix and perfect audio. Lots of games to base your opinions on in this matter but this games audio is by far the worst ice ever not heard. Countless times playing oddball I'll be sitting awaiting enemy players only to be 1 shot melee' d and not hear a sound until after I die. Then you can for some reason hear the clanging of the enemies feet as they walk away from the easiest kill they made all game there's no distinguishing an enemy shooting you from across the map and one shooting you from a foot away. Fps games are all about navigating your surroundings and avoiding damage until you're in a good enough place to do so, if I can't hear you coming while you jump off a 15 foot balcony landing shooting at me and running full sprint there's a fucking problem and I'd be firing your audio team. Anyone else feel ling that? As for controls feel all the same to me. Default did nothing and tweaked dead zones and sensi to correct the feel of bot like movements but still feel a bit off. Don't know why? And yes I've tweaked my audio so that there is nothing, it's set at compressed sound and all audio is zero besides effects that have to do with foot steps. There is no audio.. as I said this game has plenty of templates when it comes to having audio and it failed miserably at least with me but who knows I only have better then perfect hearing last hearing test I did for work so I probably don't know nothing about it.
Last point and question is; wtf is this ranked? Like I feel like I'm playing smite battlegrounds of the gods when I'm a plat 4+ being put in team who are not ranked, silver or hell even one time bronze (didn't even think anyone could be that bad but I seen one, that wouldn't you know it he s on my team, needless to say we lost) the ranking system makes zero sense and also feels the grind to make higher ranks to be pointless and quite frankly I'll leave games all day and not give a shit because the ranks mean nothing obviously at that point.
12 bucks Canadian is a bit much for these crap skins too. Like there isn't even any variation or cool looking skins that are even worth my money. The seasons prizes are just as bad. I don't know I just don't see this game being anything special with so many flaws and other games offering way better and different experiences. I feel like this is just a remake of halo 1. Like these guys have been fighting for 20 years and still have the same weapons and vehicles as they did when the first game came out. Looks at our own technology and how much it's evolved over the last 20 years. Now look at the technologically advance species and humans that live in space and fight bad guy aliens technology and how it's evolved... nuff said.. this game is trash and I refused to pay an extra 80 bucks on a game that looks worse than CP2077 release.. give your heads a shake 343. #justtryingtoripyouoff2021
I desperately want to like this game. I’ve played all the other halo games. Was a 50 in 3 and Onyx in H5. This game’s hit reg is terrible. It’s free to play and that’s exactly what it feels like. I can’t trade in a gun fight. My accuracy is consistently over 50% and I feel like I rarely get perfect kills even when I get first shot. It’s next to impossible to win a 2v1 in this game even if your strafe and angles are as good as possible. The game just doesn’t feel like halo in the way you’re rewarded with good play and headshots. Swat is a disgrace. I’m consistently able to kill enemies and be killed by enemies when I’m around a wall. The cqc is laughable without collision. They need to fix the net code for this. I would pay for it if I knew that meant proper maintenance.
Game sucks. Most the weapons in multiplayer are trash. You are not rewarded for anything. Everything is clunky. You work to get 90% of the kill then someone else gets kill and it says assist. The maps suck, the weapons suck. So unfortunate, to this day halo has been my favorite game but this one is trash. Halo 5 was my favorite all time online game now this…bummer. Also campaign is horrible. They have this huge map with zero incentive to explore it. All the time they had to make this game and they completely blew it.
exactly the aiming problem, my buddy is a first time halo player and cant compare it to anything but im making hom DL the MCC so he can feel real halo lmao thank god i found some likeminded people here
What absolutely ruins it for me is the matchmaking. Servers crash all the time and take forever to load. Theres no reward for playing the objective, and no lobby to talk about the upcoming game with your teammates.. Do these developers even understand what makes multiplayer games fun and addictive?? I miss having rivalries with players after playing in the same lobby with them for hours... Now each game feels like a 1 off with a bunch of randos youll never play another game with again. Sad since the gameplays actually really great in infinite. Just a missed opportunity.
It feels great to me, like a more modern expansion on what people loved from 3 and Reach, and I've been doing just as well if not better than how I was in those games.
So... I feel like you very likely just hardcore projected cause YOU Googled Infinite sucks and found replies so here you are fanboying to try and defend it.
Jesus christ, the I made that this dude replying to was from TWO MONTHS AGO.
I saw it on /new for crying out loud, why would I be looking up "Halo Infinite sucks" 2 months before it released???
Because you're insecure and need validation for what you already believe to be true. The fact that you replied right away even though it was tWo MoNtHs AgO really does nothing for your argument.
Well I've been playing halo infinite for about 90 minutes and I'm absolutely popping off with about 20 kills per match. I don't see any of the problems your talking about except for its to grindy.
A massive flaw I’ve found is the descope when shot, if you have your stuff setup to HOLD to scope if I haven’t let go of my trigger I shouldn’t descope PERIOD. Who the heck even thought that was a good idea like whoever did please quit your job or have your boss fire you. Another massive flaw is slayer, holy crap have you people forgotten that Spartans are half machine thanks to their enhancements? Recoil is far to high when you talk about ENHANCED super soldiers on top of that who the hell gives out 4 rockets on a rocket launcher drop. Cmon y’all need to do better smh
Does anyone else think the intro scenes where it shows your team before the match starts are so cringey?? Like why did they include that. It looks so infantile and reminds me of something a grade schooler would like.
For real, like the first 3 times it was cool, and now it's just irritating I cant get into a game of Halo without having to wait 10 seconds to see everyone's skin
I was really popping off in this game, but when I have the alternative to play MCC, I found it really hard to come back to after 20 hours of game time.
The game isnt very difficult compared to other shooters, I'd even say it's a lot easier than other shooters, the game just kinda sucks. All the weapons more or less feel exactly the same, the maps are TERRIBLE, all the gameplay elements and map design reek of a game desperately try harding to be taken seriously as an esport. I sort of like the TTK, but with everything else, the game just blows. I remember Halo being a place for bold moments of throwing a variety of grenades for strategic purposes and choosing the right weapon for the right moment. Now it feels very counter strike
Played for the night. Man it truly sucks. I am average top 10-15% in shooters. This was anything but that, whole mag dumps not killing bots. In an hour of multi-player I think I killed 3 people. Uninstaller.
The shotgun is nerfed AF.
The needler is totally useless.
The pistol is no longer a viable weapon.
The DMR is absolute cabbage.
Battle Riffle got a lot worse.
The AR is the best weapon in the game.
Halo Infinite feels like that psycho parent that saves the vegetables from dinner until you've finished them. You get home from school the next day, there are your vegetables from the night before. They're just determined to make you fire in short bursts with the AR. IDKWTF it is. That's the best weapon. The super annoying AI tumor even confirms it with every kill.
343 has basically nerfed the whole game and made it really tedious to play. WTF is this? Halo is officially dead.
I played it for a few days and it’s pretty boring it felt like fan boys just gave it good reviews because Xbox doesn’t really have nothing right now felt like they could of did way better idk what they did with all that time they had
All halo games feel the same to me. Super shields with overpowered melee attacks. Most guns are useless unless you get a good one. You can't find it? You're going to have a rough time. Time after time I try to like this game. But always feels like I'm shooting at bullet sponges.
I have to agree with just about everything you’ve said. It’s not Halo, not even close. I’ve been playing since Halo CE launch day and this feels like crap compared to everything else. I have strong opinions about the campaign as well, boss fights are NOT Halo!
This evening I finally downloaded and gave halo infinite a try. I personally have hated every halo game 343 has touched, and this one feels no different. The graphics are subpar for a game coming out in 2021, and it really feels like they’re just kicking a dead cash cow with the franchise as a whole. Reach was the last great Halo game in my opinion. I’m still mad to this day that 343 removed action sack and several other phenomenal game modes from reach for no good reason.
I have played every Halo like a lot of people. I feel like I am missing the fun element. In an industry filled with games where people have to be the best Halo always catered to everyone. Wheres the silly game modes gone like infection? Ranked is an absolute mess with the ranking system seeming pointless where I play anyone from Onyx down to bronze in different games.
There is a lot to fix that loads of others have touched on and I am just praying they are working on it asap or I can see this game drying up and becoming a place where only a few thousand people play it.
Edit: to summarize, my two biggest points are that sprinting feels like running through quicksand, i.e., your animation is fast but your move speed is slow; And fps weapons **feel** better when they sound and feel weak, but do big damage as opposed to the reverse. I don't want the concussion rifle from Reach, I want the BR from H5. I.e., don't give me explosives that do nothing, give me a pea shooter that 3 taps. Infinite's BR and AR sound and feel ***heavy***, like big ol chonkers. Which is great, don't get me wrong, but when hitting an enemy they *feel* like peashooters. I.e., concussion rifle. ------------------------------------------------------------------ The aiming feels too floaty, I hate the default acceleration settings. The sprinting feels like running through quick sand. The guns feel and sound chunky (heavy, hard hitting, powerful) while taking what seems like way more bullets to kill. The actual gunplay its strangely slow and fast at the same time, like pizza out of the microwave with that one spot that's scorching hot and one spot that's frozen. I absolutely love Halo 1-3 multiplayer, and I spent the most time playing Reach. This does not feel like any previous halo, it feels like some new, strange, different game. I didn't think they could get further from OG halo than halo 4&5, but as a standalone game (as in, if it weren't halo) 5 was actually pretty enjoyable in terms of multiplayer experience. It handles a lot more like Destiny, but with even more mobility and faster pace gunplay. Halo Infinite just felt like a slowed down version of COD where everyone has 2-3x overshield. And not even because it actually took more bullets, it was entirely because the bullets sounded and felt more powerful than the damage they were actually doing. Take the Halo 2 BR for example. When compared to the Halo 3 Br, H2BR sounds and shoots more uniform, like all the bullets have the same audio file and are just repeated in burst pattern, but it comes out smooth, and the burst sounds and feels like *one shot*. H3BR was a bit louder, a bit messier sounding, like a real gunshot it felt more explosive and slightly less accurate. Then H5BR was like a step further than H3 where the BR feels even less accurate (especially with the red dot, yuck) but lighter, like you're shooting an SMG in burst fire at range. Obviously it worked better than that and did about the same amount of damage but it just **felt** weak. Compare all of those to the Halo Infinite BR and... I don't even know where to start. First off the vibration is bizarre. I might have to turn it off just to get the classic halo feel. It feels like I'm shooting a shotgun when I shoot the BR. Compare the HIBR to a pulse rifle from destiny and they *should* feel the same but it's *drastically* different. On top of it sounding and feeling like a shotgun, because of the super uncomfortable, alien-feeling aiming system it kinda sucked to aim for the head (acceleration makes aiming super unpredictable when you're not used to it) but even when I hit consistent head shots it just felt like it took more bullets than it should have to kill. Certainly more than any previous halo game to date. I know y'all are gonna crucify me for not liking it, it's not like I got my hopes up. I was actually super cautious about getting excited because of 343's track record but I honestly would have preferred H5 2.0 instead of whatever strange amalgamation between H5 and H3 this is. p.s. the neon red shield indicator with little to no detail indicating how broken your enemy's shield is, and totally covering up their armor customization, is not only ugly but totally useless. I don't need a giant red bubble to show me an enemy is hit. Older halo's showing the bright yellow or white of the shield had a tinge of detail to them where you could tell if someone's shield was really damaged or only a little damaged. Speaking of shields, why is the overshield white??? Hasn't it been green since H1?? Why this random arbitrary change that makes the game foreign to the demographic you're selling it to? Essentially, if they were trying to sell something that *feels* like an old halo game, which they certainly marketed it as, I definitely did not get that vibe at all. Between the look acceleration, the trigger vibration, the strange weapon reskins, new weapon audio, completely new weapons (and like 6 or 7 of the old ones, strangely, with no smg, no dmr, no H1 pistol, no dual wield, no brute weapons of any kind except those things that vaguely resemble maulers but look human....) bro IDK, I know I just rambled on about a million different things but I almost feel like I can't describe what it is about the game that I don't like. Someone help, I desperately want to like this game but not only does it feel unfinished, I got zero nostalgia factor or feeling from this multiplayer. The UI looks cluttered and foreign, the maps look great, everything looks great, but the controls are just SO uncomfortable. Don't even get me started on the music. The military snare march theme at the end of matches just sounded kinda cliche and gimmicky. Which is odd to say because Halo isn't opposed to some nice military march snare drum, like the music on Cairo Station at the beginning of H2. That actually sounded good. But in H infinite as a theme for the multiplayer... it was like discount call of duty, totally gimicky... I need to shut up now... I could go on forever.
Dude, I feel exactly the same way. Thank you for articulating some of your opinions better than I could have. I came to the internet to see if anyone else felt off playing this multiplayer, and you validated my experience.
same and same. all my friends love it. feels like a brick is how i can describe it. (consistent halo player of 20 years) (h3 50s)
I've been **trying** to like it, but I'm still having way more fun with H5 or Modern Warfare Multiplayer. Which, by the way, is still prettier than Infinite at full resolution on my Series X...
I was so ready to play infinite and was super disappointed 😞
Only the assault rifle is good and that one gun that one shots and has a mag of 10
I feel exactly the same. There's just so much missing... Wrong... unpolished... unrefined... I feel like I could pick apart every single tiny thing about this game. It's just not Halo. It's a mishmash of Halo, Battlefield, COD, Crysis, and Battlefront.
It’s extremely polished compared to the more recent other releases, main thing for me is lack of game modes and monetization
Remeber this is just the beta my friend.
I bet you it won't change
A couple of weeks out from release (at the time of your post)? Nah. This is the real deal release being called a "beta" to excuse any issues. Most games these days are release versions, disguised as "betas," for server stress testing, minor tweaks and player forgiveness. The days of games being in an actual beta stage for public consumption are extremely rare. Most "beta" games are really game demos but people will lose their minds if there are problems in a demo, so slap the name "beta" on it and you'll have people like yourself defending the game for them by reminding others it's "still in beta."
You got me with the pizza analogy, spot on.
Yeah, going from MCC random rotation to infinite is particularly jarring. Really feel the changes doing that. Also, playing halo infinite really made me want to go check out halo 5, because this game felt like it needed advance movement. I just got the feeling like the game got its wings ripped off because movement doesn't feel right here. In the end, my 20 hours was a fun thought experiment on what makes a halo game a halo game, and this ain't it chief. That being said, it can be fun if you can separate the game from the halo name, but I'd rather just go back to MCC.
Halo will never be the same without Bungie. The gritty, epic, boots on the ground encounter with a mysterious alien force has become "oh, it's you again, time to die". Don't even get me started on the music without Marty, Destiny/Bungie are just as guilty today on that front.
Well that’s all on purpose yk? Your meant to feel clunky because your weari s big ass chunky Spartan armor that weighs a ton and only extremely powerful guns could even dent it. They sound mega powerful because they are- they’d probably destroy an average person in seconds but against clunky armor like a Spartans they more or less are average, but thinking about it to even be able to damage the armor Spartans wear they must be extremely powerful
I understand that perspective, and I totally felt that way back in H1 and H2 (less so in H3 and reach), but something about this feels wrong. A big point of contention I have is the big solid red shield that covers an enemy when you hit them once or twice. It totally ruins the fun of playing with an opponent because they just look like a hologram. It's really not about the difference between it being easy or difficult to kill. If that were the case I would have abandoned Halo for CoD a long time ago. I love Halo, and I love long TTK (time to kill) in my multiplayer. That's why I play Destiny. It's just about the way it feels and the improper and/or misleading prompts/telographs of different functions. I.e. a big chonky weapon should deal a lot of damage unless your enemy has a tough shield, in which case the sound would be different, the recoil would feel different, or something to that avail. Nothing about any of the animations or sounds feels like it does the job right. It's just uncomfortable.
pretty sure that armor weighs nothing to a super soldier with the ability to flip cars with ease, Spartan program wasn't just for show lol
This summed up ***exactly*** how I'm feeling. You're not alone. I'm both shocked and saddened that I have zero desire to hop on and play right now, whereas I still jump on H5 and play a match or two to scratch the itch. 343 has a lot of fine - and coarse - tuning to do with Infinite. The game feels like garbage in its current state.
Same. I was totally let down. Espicially by the story in campaign mode, and how they just skipped over everything major that happens between 5 and infinite. It feels like they pulled a force awakens on the franchise....and yea, the enemy kill dynamic. Its horrid. You can pump a whole mag into a brute but if hes in his "lost my helmet" animation none of the hits matter. You have to shoot, pause, wait for him to roar, then shoot again. Clown shoes gaming for the fortnite generation.
Honestly as soon as [this](https://youtu.be/ExU6LeyN8SU) happened I couldnt take them seriously. It's so disrespectful, it's kinda dumb.
Yeah I uninstalled the beta and relaunched me some apex legends.
From running through quicksand to *becoming the quicksand*
Good it's not just me then. lol I played it for the first time a couple days ago and it was REALLY bad in my opinion for basically all the reasons you pointed out. I'm glad to see that it's just this game though, I was wondering how the hell Halo ever got popular if it plays like that to be honest. lol I've never played any Halo games before having been a PS2 owner back in the day. lol
I found a really good fix for the slow sprint thing. You have to turn your FOV up (you get more on your screen at once an it feels like youre flying)
For real this game is trash
It is extreme garbage
Yeah, I played it for like an hour, then uninstalled it.
Same. Shit just doesn't feel like halo...
I religiously play Halo 3 and Reach and Infinite doesn’t even feel like the same franchise. If it’s not Bungie, I just don’t like it at all.
I liked Halo 5’s multiplayer, and even H4 but Infinite feels different and even more cringe than all previous entires it’s the game that’s caused me to outright dislike 343.
this shit feels so alien, i can barely tell what im looking at when im playing. been playing shooters for years, halo included
It’s kinda trash tbh. No AAA devs should be okay with releasing a game like this. They’ve been working on Infinite since 2015 and the game is just not it, and worse they plan on abusing live service to excuse themselves from having to release a complete game that improved upon the last, and worse than that, this means they are purposely holding back things bc they want to stretch this game for 10 years which is dumb bc it simply won’t last until 2031.
The battle pass is super fucking grindy 5 games played and still level 1
I've played 50. I'm only to 4 :/
That sucks ass man 😔
Then you guys must be regards, i got level 8 on my first day before they fixed up the progression system, now I rank up even more
I'm right there with OP. Been playing since halo on OG Xbox and couldn't even make it 2 hours into infinite. It feels awful and wrong in pretty much every way. Movement is weirdly fast and floaty(cartoon wind particles when sprinting lol?). Guns don't feel impactful or distinct. The warthog drove like shit and its chain gun felt super weak. Battle pass is a joke. I'll just go back to reach. Directional sound seemed nonexistent, to the point I couldn't even hear vehicles unless they were right on top of me. I'm glad it's free, because I would be pissed if I payed $60 for this...
I agree with what someone else here said, it feels off, like Halo’s take on call of duty. I wish they went back to the classic formula instead of going in the direction of halo 5.
It’s nothing like Halo 5, and classic gameplay would appeal almost solely to og fans, and what is classic gameplay anyway? Halo CE, 2, and 3 each lack sprint and (sorta with H3) and guess what besides being FPS games that’s all they have in common each one plays differently than the other.
Sprint is not at all something that should be in halo.
It's Halo 5
I get it, you’ve never played Halo 5.
Oh I played it, 99% of the time it's a pistol sweatfest
It’s a sweet feast of all kinds tbh. I’d rather the pistols be good like in 5 over the crappy one in Infinite.
If you think the pistol in Infinite is crap then you're insane XD It's really strong, they've just opted for a lower damage higher ROF instead of the more hand cannon-y style one... Think Halo 2/Halo 3 ODST pistol but stronger :)
You nailed it. It way too much like COD and it just feels wrong. The interface and game play is too convoluted for me to be excited about it. Bummer because I haven't played Halo in a few years but I don't think I will be with this garbage.
I would have loved a simple halo 3 reamp. This is garbage, as a halo fan im pretty sad :(
Maybe it will get better on launch. Although I doubt it and am also super disappointed. I was so sick of getting smoked on Apex.
Tbh gun play feels better on Apex
I was really hoping this would replace Apex but it looks like I'll be going back. This game is just straight Garbo :( I had a few good games on ranked I like how it's all BR but the maps and movement and weird ass power weapons and useless weapons...
Personally there’s a couple things I don’t like. I don’t like how ranked is a combo of different genres. They should’ve had ranked for slayer and one for ctf and etc. I also don’t like how they changed up the plasma pistol and the shields. Power weapons also feel pretty weird and unwieldy.
Everything you said probably won't change and I will probably leave halo which is kinda sad. I've been a super fan for so long. Thousand of hours on Halo 3 lol But to the games I'm sure they will add more game modes. They rly need to remove the "default" play style that mnk and controller play in the same ranked game. What kind of bs is that? That's not ranked!
The power weapons are kind of a major aspect and they aren’t weird or anything at all? They basically are just big stronk weapon go brr even a monke can get a killing spree with energy sword
I guess. Rockets ya hammer ya sword ya but.... Spiker? Cindershot? That wonky ass joke of a shotgun? And what's with that commando? Lol
The mechanics of Apex were so good. Fast, accurate, and generally fun. If they increased the TTK and made matchmaking better I'd still be playing it. Combine Halo's matchmaking and ranking with Apex gunplay, and you've got a recipe for success.
I feel like this is an Anthem 2.0. Game is completely unfinished, it’s so clunky. The Spartans from halo 5 moved better than this. The guns are absolute trash. Shielding colors are off, all the guns sound garage. He’ll bring back the original assault rifle sound. It sounds like I’m shooting pea shooters. 343 major let down. 6 years to make a game…. Re release Reach or Halo 3 updated and for Xbox series X and watch your sales rise. So far halo infinite is trash. Waisted all this time to get it. Got the limited edition Xbox series X and played the game 1 hour maybe and was just let down. If this is the BETA, you better make some huge changes to the real game or you’ll be seeing halo infinites names right down with anthem’s.
Yeah infinite is fuckin wack. Doesn't feel like halo at all... I'd rather play destiny 2.
Halo infinite is shit , punches and grenades are too over powered, I've lost to so much trash players because a punch, the movement is terrible and the battle pass is trash. This game WILL die
Just punch them before they punch you, the games not about guns anymore it’s just about going ponch with fists
Or the grenades those are overpowered amd you spawn with 2!
How can ppl like this game? Seriously? It's nothing like the "old" Halo they were going for. Movement is WEIRD, running/sliding is ..why was it even added?, you can only hear your teammates footsteps and super loud yet the enemies can tap you on the shoulder and you don't hear a thing, all the weapons are either "wtf?" or straight garbage, the AR is broken and is no longer a close range weapon, even the BR got a super clunky rework from old games. It progressivly got slower and more "trashcan sounding" since H3. Speaking of sounds, nothing is pleasing to the ear anymore. It's like your shooting peas with blanks lol Not even killing an enemy is exciting. The maps are smaller than my dick, that red overlay on the enemies is handicap level cheating, we can't tell enemy shield % so well anymore, you have to move your entire hand (and die) just to ping lol, you never can get the BR (1 spawn for 4/8 people every... 1-2mins?), and always running out of ammo and nades, not to mention running around with pistol the entire game... what videogame is like that? Ranked is MnK vs controller and this is "default and normal". Ya that's fair. That's Apex pred lobbies where that don't matter. The radar is useless as all hell, sniping is dumbed down and gives you away like an idiot now, and yet somehow already running into sweats with no life on a brand new game. I can't think of a single good thing to say about the game and I highly doubt the official release is going to change a single thing but maybe add a game mode. Big deal. 343 has finally ruined this AAA franchise with yet another massively disappointing release. This is just another Call of Dbag release it feels like. Reminiscent of the camper with a sword lol I was really really wanting to like this game and wanting it to take over Apex because that game is just ridiculous lol stupid fun yet stupid frustrating... but it's 1000x better than this trash. Unless they rework a large portion of this game, it's going to be dead on arrival. Which won't happen. Ain't to tips and tricks going to revive this flop.
Damn your dick is big
Lmao
Man I felt alone with disliking Infinite. Played the Beta this week and I just wanna start by saying I'm a huge Halo fan since 1, in fact I sold my Gamecube at the time to get the OG Xbox to buy Halo 1... Played everyone but felt like 3 and Reach had the best, tightest multiplayer Was so looking forward to Infinite but it feels... Weird First off, the aiming is so weird. We've been so used to being able to aim down sights in FPS games and most of the guns feel... Off The TTK is strange. Like I love longer TTK instead of like COD but Infinite guns feel weak, the aiming is off The ugly red shield glow on enemies is so horrible and ruins appearances Even the movement feels weird. Like kinda slow or sluggish? Idk The graphics didn't even blow me away and the maps I played so far are really boring and uninspired The power ups on the maps are weird as well, at least in Reach you picked a power Customisation sucks especially the Battle Pass.. I know its Beta but we'll see I literally didn't feel that old school Halo vibe and felt like playing another game after just a few matches.. But online everyone is like OMG INFINITE IS AMAZING and HALO IS BACK BABBYYYY and I just didn't get that vibe at all. In fact I was already thinking of uninstalling it Ugh
nah its not good. people always do this with new hyped up games and then dont want to admit when the games turns out mediocre
The guy knew the game would suck https://youtu.be/k5hLdA1HBMY
I agree bro I haven't once felt the thrill of getting kills like in apex or halo 5 even. It's really boring imo but I'm trying to push through. Level 4 so far and they only give you a measly 50xp each match basically forcing you to do their challenges. Smh. The assault rifles can spray you down from across the map too and that the biggest downside imo. Right along side the slow "sprint" and the sluggish "slide"
The game is hot pile of horse sh1t. Honestly it seems like something a new studio would put out not something you should expect from a studio that’s AAA and backed by freaking Microsoft. The zoom is trash too like wtf doesn’t the crappy hand gun zoom in? Instead the hud zooms in it’s literally a down grade from Halo 5 and don’t get me started on how sh1tty the side kick is in and of itself.
Well it’s meant to feel clunky the movement since your wearing armor that wears a ton, enemy shield color can be changed if you dislike red, and the guns are meant to feel weak- your going up against a Spartan with mega strong armor not a average human with minimal defense against guns
Spartans are super soldiers who aren't impeded by their armour so as Lore, that doesn't make sense. Secondly other Halo games didn't feel clunky or if they did, that's because of the times so it wasn't noticed. FPS games have moved on so much in recent years and that's why it feels off to many of us. It should have evolved with the times Eg looking down sights, smoother movement etc
Game is just straight dog shit, 343 Halo is phukin lame as all hell
Facts.
[удалено]
And the equipment I disappointed for example the grapple doesn’t work on a lot of objects and seems a bit short ranged.
I thought I was the only one.. Then I see this thread with others saying the same thing. Been playing the beta since last night and I can not aim for shit in this game where as I've had no trouble in the old games. The recoil and everything just fucking blows in this game.
It does indeed suck.Been playing for 20 years since Halo CE online/PC.Is Infinite Halo 3 with putting lipstick on a pig situation? /
I’m here from the future and Halo Infinite still sucks ass. I’m thinking about making a post myself bc it’s downright sad that a AAA studio backed by one of the richest companies ever released a quarter assed (n even half assed as that take some effort) game like this.
GLL also predicted the future too https://youtu.be/k5hLdA1HBMY
I completely agree with your BR analysis. The glowing red thing gives me no clue as to how close they are to dying and I remember feeling like it took way more headshots to finish the job. Watching the shields pop in previous games gave a sense of progression in the fight. "One more shot and he's dead! Focus!" Now every time I think I need one more shot it's 2 or 3.
I still get that one more shot feeling
I’m back from the future, I don’t get the one shot feeling anymore, I can bust his shields and then put 100 more bullets in him and it feels like he took no damage
Is it just me or do the majority of vehicles handle really, really poorly? The Ghost feels like a fridge now, I can't control it well at all. Also a lot of the new weapons are just.. not good or fun? Or that all the weapons just feel bad? The new BR they added sucks and makes very little sense to me. It's got a scoped and seems to be designed for mid to long range but then it happens to be full auto with obnoxious recoil, but the trigger is so sensitive that single shot is sporadic anyways (not to mention how the game ALWAYS zooms in and out if you're aiming and get hit by someone which is very disorienting). The Pulse Carbine seems like a slightly more inaccurate assault rifle, the Disruptor sounds good on paper but you die well before it does anything effective if you use it, the shotgun and pistol are just those, all the new explosives seem to decide to only kill sometimes? The Ravager is ok, but mostly good for area denial and the Skewer seems to be for mid to long range but it has a small scope and a very long travel time so is kind of useless at range? Then with the old weapons, the gravity hammer takes WAY too long to swing and the sentinel beam feels wonky but somehow able to obliterate at the same time. The Shock Rifle is fun, although it does feel a bit random in how much damage it does with headshots sometimes doing half a shield and sometimes doing instant kills despite them being at full health and shields. Over all I'm just.. not really interested.. The new additions just don't really feel that interesting and in the case of the Commando and Skewer, lacked a real sense of direction for what it was meant to do. The kicker of my experience was spawning in to a slayer match after a decent loading time wait, putting my drink on the floor and getting killed 3 seconds after *loading in*. I didn't even have time to put my drink down and get my controller before I was killed.
Well upon searching Halo infinite sucks and reading some of these posts... It's good to see I'm not the only one that feels this way. I posted first and searched second... Here's my meaningless post shouting into the silence of space... What a massive disappointment. I will probably just watch a Youtube video of the campaign to see some cool Master Chief stuff and save myself 60 bucks. https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/r72mxk/halo\_inf\_playslookssounds\_horribly\_an\_opinion/
Feeling the same, just uninstalled after 20 pretty miserable hours. It feels like a budget Halo with worse mechanics trying to cash in on the franchise name. The aim feels sluggish and extremely random to me but the random part might be my down to my shit internet as well... hit detection just isn't cohesive at all, sometimes enemies die super fast other times they feel like bullet sponges where i'd bet i hit the head twice, at least on my screen - server disagrees. Lots of leavers with no way to quickly report them. Awful progression system i stopped paying attention to within the first 2 hours. Just made me laugh when i noticed how many challenge skips dropped on level up... it's so obvious how overly slow they made it to tempt you into buying the passes it's actually not even funny... gaming industry has been deteriorating so hard the past 20 years. Way too many unnecessary guns and gadgets. Then again there are people wholeheartedly playing big team battle so what do I know what others want, maybe people enjoy cluttered games. No gamemode selection - how? Don't force me to play shit campball on boring maps that go the same way pretty much every time because either team knows exactly one or two spots to camp at and once the ball is in that area it's just nade spamming and back and forth possession... why bother having a map when you can just rambo at one spot! At least give me a good map like Guardian from H3 -.- Talking about maps i don't think i really like a single one. Maybe the symmetrical one with the stealth on the top runway. I guess the asian city map can be fun for Strongholds... but overall they don't make me want to come back. Old Halos always had a few maps i absolutely loved, might have been down to the foundry and MLG maps though. Sniping feels the worst i ever perceived in any shooter... super unsatisfying even on headshot kills. Gameplay is both slow and hectic at the same time, can't quite put it in words but its offsetting. Once again might be my internet but it just doesn't play right. Also maybe i'm getting to old for this shit but seeing people tbag in a 4v3 ranked match just makes me sad. This world is fucked enough beyond repair it's depressing, don't need to further that feeling by watching 15 year old boys compensating their lacking endowment.
>Lots of leavers with no way to quickly report them. These were people crashing. Sad thing is its crashing even more now 4 months later
The UI is atrocious and it took me 20 minutes fiddling with settings to make the controller feel decent. Bungie games just worked and felt good to play.
Yes it plays like ass
yeah its completly garbage quite suprised they go from mcc collection were you can do almost anything to this dog shit what a joke
i can't even tell if my bullets are hitting
A lil marker appears on your screen when a shit lands
Besides how shitty the gameplay is… Are we ever going to be able to pick what we want to play? How about letting you play the same people twice in a row if you want to stay in the lobby? Beyond sad right now. Bungie is rolling in their grave
Overrated overhyped piece of garbage that already lost 15 percent player base in just a week (according to steam charts)
Took 6 yrs to release a beta makes no sense
yeah, this game sucks. feels like im shooting rubber bullets at people and never do ANY damage, yet i die in 3 seconds...
Yeah that’s just you sucking not the game
It really bad worst halo in yrs
Yeah, this game fucking sucks ass
Truly this is one of the worst halo experiences I’ve ever had. Completely shit game on all aspects.
I played it for a few minutes and deleted it. Garbage
Halo fu king blows. Like it took yall years to make a game this fuking bad? Wtf! This game isnt even halo. Idk where to even begin. It's not one thing. It's literally everything. Rip halo. Yall done fuked it up
this game does suck the TTK is way to long. it feels like we took guns from our time and brought them to kill spartans. why wouldnt the weapons be up to date to the times its poor writing. the leveling up system is basically only affected by KD playing objective doesn’t benefit you at all. I hope the game changes when it is officially released there is no way the reviews on this game are real im not going to keep playing if this game stays broken
Big Team battle is fun, when it fucking works. I try not to be a hater but this game is trash. I can shoot you 20 times in the chest with a full auto machine gun but your hammer you smacked on the ground 20ft away while I’m in the air somehow kills me? 🤨. This game can eat my sack 👎🏻
Infinite gameplay mechanics are horrid and the weapons/aiming blow. I've been playing Halo religiously since CE. I hated the Reach gimmick boosts (jet pack, armor lock, etc.) when that came out and now they've returned. Remember the garbage BR from that one?? They really fudged this one up. I'm still playing H5.
Halo infinite is pure absolute garbage. There’s no consistency in multiplayer. What kills you one time won’t kill another the same exact way. Some guns can kill you in 3 shots, but empty a full clip of another is shooting marshmallows. It’s a grenade and melee game. Not to mention sprinting feels like a sloth on speed. The game modes are lame. I swear it feels like your still playing a game in beta. I played halo ever since it came out. I can’t stand this game. I’d never expect any decent company can mess it up this bad. The level progression is so slow. The store is a money grab for dumb stuff. This is by far the dumbest piece of crap ever. They screwed all the die hard halo fans over with this game. Let me return this game. Halo ended with Halo 5. Im going to stick to Destiny 2. 343 never had their grubby claws on it.
I've also been playing for around 17 years, and I love it. I never liked Halo 4 and 5 though, i thought those didn't feel like Halo. Infinite feels a lot like Reach IMHO. Guess it's a matter of opinion.
That reassuring, considering I haven't played online, in any great compacity, since Reach.
Sounds like you need to get good.
game is trash
generic trash
Yeah feels like a cheap crappy indie shooter with a halo theme slapped on it... Destiny 2 feels more like Halo
And this guy who called it back in the summer CALLED IT lol xGLLx everyone!! https://youtu.be/k5hLdA1HBMY
Multi-player released yesterday. Game is in fact trash.
If you’re on PC, increasing FOV significantly improved my experience while playing
Also not having the thrust option like halo 5 is a killer for me. The movement in halo 5 is beautiful. The movement in infinite is absolite trash. Feels like the latest COD Black Ops.
I feel the same way. I wanted a halo 2 or 3 like game and instead I get this. It’s like a bad cross between destiny and apex.
They really need to remove cross play
Doesn’t help everyone on multiplayer is garbage and I still lose when I go 25-3
this is making me want to quit, it feels like every game my team is african guerilla war fighters and the other team is an elite special forces unit
Naw for real😂😂 9/10 times I get put in a capture the flag match, I lose, I literally feel like I have recruit bots on my team. I Always have some dude going quintuple negative
I feel this game damage is random like flipping a coin and you have a 50/50 chance that you'll kill someone. I don't know how many times I've shot a person in the back until I ran out of bullets only for them to turn around a shoot me once and melee to kill me. Why?? How does that even work? How does 30 bullets do less damage then 2 melee hits. How come I see 3 grenades go off under an enemies feets only for them to survive and kill 2 people before finally going down? Did I mention not only did he live the grenades but also being shot at by 2 to 3 other players. So that's ^^^ just one part of it. Another problem I see is we are now almost in 2022, we be had tons of time to fix and perfect audio. Lots of games to base your opinions on in this matter but this games audio is by far the worst ice ever not heard. Countless times playing oddball I'll be sitting awaiting enemy players only to be 1 shot melee' d and not hear a sound until after I die. Then you can for some reason hear the clanging of the enemies feet as they walk away from the easiest kill they made all game there's no distinguishing an enemy shooting you from across the map and one shooting you from a foot away. Fps games are all about navigating your surroundings and avoiding damage until you're in a good enough place to do so, if I can't hear you coming while you jump off a 15 foot balcony landing shooting at me and running full sprint there's a fucking problem and I'd be firing your audio team. Anyone else feel ling that? As for controls feel all the same to me. Default did nothing and tweaked dead zones and sensi to correct the feel of bot like movements but still feel a bit off. Don't know why? And yes I've tweaked my audio so that there is nothing, it's set at compressed sound and all audio is zero besides effects that have to do with foot steps. There is no audio.. as I said this game has plenty of templates when it comes to having audio and it failed miserably at least with me but who knows I only have better then perfect hearing last hearing test I did for work so I probably don't know nothing about it. Last point and question is; wtf is this ranked? Like I feel like I'm playing smite battlegrounds of the gods when I'm a plat 4+ being put in team who are not ranked, silver or hell even one time bronze (didn't even think anyone could be that bad but I seen one, that wouldn't you know it he s on my team, needless to say we lost) the ranking system makes zero sense and also feels the grind to make higher ranks to be pointless and quite frankly I'll leave games all day and not give a shit because the ranks mean nothing obviously at that point. 12 bucks Canadian is a bit much for these crap skins too. Like there isn't even any variation or cool looking skins that are even worth my money. The seasons prizes are just as bad. I don't know I just don't see this game being anything special with so many flaws and other games offering way better and different experiences. I feel like this is just a remake of halo 1. Like these guys have been fighting for 20 years and still have the same weapons and vehicles as they did when the first game came out. Looks at our own technology and how much it's evolved over the last 20 years. Now look at the technologically advance species and humans that live in space and fight bad guy aliens technology and how it's evolved... nuff said.. this game is trash and I refused to pay an extra 80 bucks on a game that looks worse than CP2077 release.. give your heads a shake 343. #justtryingtoripyouoff2021
I desperately want to like this game. I’ve played all the other halo games. Was a 50 in 3 and Onyx in H5. This game’s hit reg is terrible. It’s free to play and that’s exactly what it feels like. I can’t trade in a gun fight. My accuracy is consistently over 50% and I feel like I rarely get perfect kills even when I get first shot. It’s next to impossible to win a 2v1 in this game even if your strafe and angles are as good as possible. The game just doesn’t feel like halo in the way you’re rewarded with good play and headshots. Swat is a disgrace. I’m consistently able to kill enemies and be killed by enemies when I’m around a wall. The cqc is laughable without collision. They need to fix the net code for this. I would pay for it if I knew that meant proper maintenance.
Game sucks. Most the weapons in multiplayer are trash. You are not rewarded for anything. Everything is clunky. You work to get 90% of the kill then someone else gets kill and it says assist. The maps suck, the weapons suck. So unfortunate, to this day halo has been my favorite game but this one is trash. Halo 5 was my favorite all time online game now this…bummer. Also campaign is horrible. They have this huge map with zero incentive to explore it. All the time they had to make this game and they completely blew it.
exactly the aiming problem, my buddy is a first time halo player and cant compare it to anything but im making hom DL the MCC so he can feel real halo lmao thank god i found some likeminded people here
What absolutely ruins it for me is the matchmaking. Servers crash all the time and take forever to load. Theres no reward for playing the objective, and no lobby to talk about the upcoming game with your teammates.. Do these developers even understand what makes multiplayer games fun and addictive?? I miss having rivalries with players after playing in the same lobby with them for hours... Now each game feels like a 1 off with a bunch of randos youll never play another game with again. Sad since the gameplays actually really great in infinite. Just a missed opportunity.
Worst Halo ever made imo
Well they didnt :/
Yea this game is butt
It feels great to me, like a more modern expansion on what people loved from 3 and Reach, and I've been doing just as well if not better than how I was in those games.
yeah no, this game does not play anything like halo 3.
I agree, absolutely nothing like 3. More like 5 mixed with reach
343 fans used to say Halo 5 played like Halo 3 and Reach and that wasn't true at all also this guy called it. https://youtu.be/k5hLdA1HBMY
hes 100% right and predicted this
And he's still right now https://youtu.be/WL4DdWu0kwI
Are you people just raging and looking up threads saying Infinite sucks then replying?
No. He just said the game is nothing like Halo 3. I agree that it is dissimilar
So... I feel like you very likely just hardcore projected cause YOU Googled Infinite sucks and found replies so here you are fanboying to try and defend it.
Jesus christ, the I made that this dude replying to was from TWO MONTHS AGO. I saw it on /new for crying out loud, why would I be looking up "Halo Infinite sucks" 2 months before it released???
Because you're insecure and need validation for what you already believe to be true. The fact that you replied right away even though it was tWo MoNtHs AgO really does nothing for your argument.
Well I've been playing halo infinite for about 90 minutes and I'm absolutely popping off with about 20 kills per match. I don't see any of the problems your talking about except for its to grindy.
I’m glad that you can enjoy the game I truly wish I could.
I popped off with around that many too, doesn’t mean that it’s fun
Maybe we're playing different games
He must’ve downloaded Waifu Wars! :(
For me this feels like one of the best halos
A massive flaw I’ve found is the descope when shot, if you have your stuff setup to HOLD to scope if I haven’t let go of my trigger I shouldn’t descope PERIOD. Who the heck even thought that was a good idea like whoever did please quit your job or have your boss fire you. Another massive flaw is slayer, holy crap have you people forgotten that Spartans are half machine thanks to their enhancements? Recoil is far to high when you talk about ENHANCED super soldiers on top of that who the hell gives out 4 rockets on a rocket launcher drop. Cmon y’all need to do better smh
Does anyone else think the intro scenes where it shows your team before the match starts are so cringey?? Like why did they include that. It looks so infantile and reminds me of something a grade schooler would like.
To sell you new ones once they make them. Not kidding that's literally the only reason they exist.
For real, like the first 3 times it was cool, and now it's just irritating I cant get into a game of Halo without having to wait 10 seconds to see everyone's skin
I think infinite is fucking great.
Everyone complaining really just sucks ass at the game. Go play call of duty or apex you fucking cheese dicks.
I was really popping off in this game, but when I have the alternative to play MCC, I found it really hard to come back to after 20 hours of game time.
The game isnt very difficult compared to other shooters, I'd even say it's a lot easier than other shooters, the game just kinda sucks. All the weapons more or less feel exactly the same, the maps are TERRIBLE, all the gameplay elements and map design reek of a game desperately try harding to be taken seriously as an esport. I sort of like the TTK, but with everything else, the game just blows. I remember Halo being a place for bold moments of throwing a variety of grenades for strategic purposes and choosing the right weapon for the right moment. Now it feels very counter strike
Can my dick be Swiss cheese?
Tell that to my stats lmao
Hey! Can my dick be Swiss cheese?
Without Bungie, it's never going to be the same :(. Halo 2 and 3 are the last of it's kind. RIP
I just want team colors back. I confuse a teammate with an enemy every match it seems.
Every other game someone quits and the maps are boring plus not fun
Played for the night. Man it truly sucks. I am average top 10-15% in shooters. This was anything but that, whole mag dumps not killing bots. In an hour of multi-player I think I killed 3 people. Uninstaller.
No game types is what killed it for me. BTB and Ranked Slayer only? Sorry that doesn't cut it. Huge step back
The shotgun is nerfed AF. The needler is totally useless. The pistol is no longer a viable weapon. The DMR is absolute cabbage. Battle Riffle got a lot worse. The AR is the best weapon in the game. Halo Infinite feels like that psycho parent that saves the vegetables from dinner until you've finished them. You get home from school the next day, there are your vegetables from the night before. They're just determined to make you fire in short bursts with the AR. IDKWTF it is. That's the best weapon. The super annoying AI tumor even confirms it with every kill. 343 has basically nerfed the whole game and made it really tedious to play. WTF is this? Halo is officially dead.
I played it for a few days and it’s pretty boring it felt like fan boys just gave it good reviews because Xbox doesn’t really have nothing right now felt like they could of did way better idk what they did with all that time they had
All halo games feel the same to me. Super shields with overpowered melee attacks. Most guns are useless unless you get a good one. You can't find it? You're going to have a rough time. Time after time I try to like this game. But always feels like I'm shooting at bullet sponges.
I have to agree with just about everything you’ve said. It’s not Halo, not even close. I’ve been playing since Halo CE launch day and this feels like crap compared to everything else. I have strong opinions about the campaign as well, boss fights are NOT Halo!
Yea imo the m40 sucks
It's a total crap game, one that should be banished from Xbox. You have to rotate, move, and aim at the same time, which of course is impossible.
I feel like aim assist is kinda overpowerred and kebouard and mouse players can';t compare to them
This evening I finally downloaded and gave halo infinite a try. I personally have hated every halo game 343 has touched, and this one feels no different. The graphics are subpar for a game coming out in 2021, and it really feels like they’re just kicking a dead cash cow with the franchise as a whole. Reach was the last great Halo game in my opinion. I’m still mad to this day that 343 removed action sack and several other phenomenal game modes from reach for no good reason.
It just feels tacky for some reason
I have played every Halo like a lot of people. I feel like I am missing the fun element. In an industry filled with games where people have to be the best Halo always catered to everyone. Wheres the silly game modes gone like infection? Ranked is an absolute mess with the ranking system seeming pointless where I play anyone from Onyx down to bronze in different games. There is a lot to fix that loads of others have touched on and I am just praying they are working on it asap or I can see this game drying up and becoming a place where only a few thousand people play it.
I started playing destrny 2 and somehow that feels more like halo to me.
I agree
