I've been hopping in and out but it runs like shit on my PC. Even with all of the settings turned pretty low I get about 40 fps.

Just ran a quick round of multiplayer and it runs SIGNIFICANTLY better for me than the beta did. Granted my CPU probably needs some upgrading at this point, it's nice to know this game isn't unplayable for me with my current rig.

I’m psyched to play this on XB1 when it releases. Halo 2 was my first online multiplayer game, and when 3 came out, my roommates and I would play it HEAVY. Played 5 a bit but meh. Hopefully they turn back the clock to the Halcyon days with infinite, if it’s good would even been interested with teaming up with some of ya’ll

I play this on the old xbox one. Still have to figure out the controller settings. This game feels incredibly fast for me gameplay wise and I am not used to that. MCC in comparison feels slower but more managable. And I find the radar pretty useless. But it feels cool to invest some time into a game and hopefully get better. Right now, I absolutely suck at ranked games.

Upgraded to a Series S a couple weeks ago mostly for this game, gotta pay tribute to the endless hours I spent on Halo 1 and 2.

Stoked for the campaign to drop but also really enjoying the multiplayer - I found that decreasing the controller deadzones and increasing the look sensitivity helps it feel more like the older games. Still regularly get annihilated and called a slur by some mic’d up 17 year old, so glad that time honored tradition lives on, I guess.

Anyone have any strong feelings on the progression/unlockables/challenges? It’s not really an issue to me either way but I guess I’m not the target audience for it (see aforementioned slur using 17 year olds).

Can I ask your opinion on the S? Been thinking about getting one just for game pass and halo. I’m more of a PlayStation guy now, but I loved my OG Xbox back in the day and regularly lugged a 32” crt tv around for LAN parties at my boy Steve’s place.

For sure an incremental upgrade from the Xbox One rather than a game changer, but I appreciate the shorter load times and graphics improvements. I pretty much got it for the same reasons as you, and overall I’m glad I did, it’s dead silent and much smaller than the One/360.

The battle pass is fucked and the microtransactions are ridiculously priced ($25 for an armor set?!?!) but people need to learn to put down the damn controller and walk away for a while, shit is not that serious, especially in a free-to-play game that runs terrific and is fun to play. It's not like they paid $65 for a game that is broken (looking at you Cyberpunk) not that that would justify death threats either
Title: Re: Halo Infinite
Post by: pizzafliptofakie on December 06, 2021, 04:59:59 PM
The progression system is jacked and microtransactions are stupid, but honestly I'd forgive all of that if they would just let us pick our preferred game type and give us playlists.


I'm sure that's coming soon though.

I ended up doing the all access program for a series X, only $10/month more than the S. As soon as it gets here I’ll share my gamertag. I’m pumped. Didn’t realize bethesda was bought by Microsoft too, so I would have had to pick one up eventually

For those playing on PC: are you doing mouse and keyboard or controller?


I was using mouse and keyboard as I would any shooter but was surprised to hear that a lobby I was in was almost unanimously playing with controllers. They were really good too, so there might be something to it. I'm finding lots of conflicting reports regarding aim assist on the controller so idk what to believe. But if I get good enough with the controller it would be cool to play on both my computer AND my Xbox/big TV.

Used to play with controller back on ElDewrito but switched to mouse and keyboard. I'm pretty sure that mouse and keyboard will always be the most accurate, right?

That's how I feel about shooters in general, but I ran a few rounds on a controller and was kinda killin it. Maybe it's just ingrained after so many years of playing Halo on an Xbox controller but it was nice.

Just started playing a few days ago. Haven’t touched a Halo since the disappointment that was Halo 4.

Fucking loving this. Haven’t bought the full game yet, probably will eventually, but currently having a ball playing multiplayer. Took me 3 games until the muscle memory was back, now it feels like the a faster, cleaner, slicker version of Reach.

The inevitable playlist patch can’t come soon enough though. If anyone wants to party up, gamer tag is PrinzKek

Really don't fucking like it, my friends got me to play quite a few hours with them, as friends do, and it feels almost as soulless as splitgate. They're fine games overall, but compare these to Halo Reach, a(n 11 year old) game that is only held back by the fact that you have to pay for it or for game pass. Halo Reach, and its predecessors actually make you feel something when you play them. Im on the brink of insanity however

What don't you like about it? Personally I think this is the best Halo has been since Reach. Are you referring to the campaign or the multiplayer? Because I'm gonna be honest, I've been a fan since Combat Evolved and I don't think they ever made me feel something besides 'rad!' while playing these games. I don't come to Halo for depth of feeling, I just want fun multiplayer. Just my opinion.
Title: Re: Halo Infinite
Post by: user18081971 on December 11, 2021, 09:47:19 AM
I didn’t get the campaign because the multiplayer experience justified not getting it. And I agree with you, every halo up until 4 (which tbh was not that bad) was legitimately groundbreaking at the time, and still hold up or in ODST’s case, an important game for a new narrative that was in such large contrast to the rest of the games, in a way nobody expected. Damn, I’ve got to replay that one, now that I think about it. But yeah, I’m not saying a game needs to make me feel something in order for me to like it, I mean I’ll play anything. I just do not like this game because it feels like a “can I copy your homework” game. How’s the campaign?

I was, but I've been hit with a bug for the past few days that won't let me load any saves. Countdown timer starts, and nothing happens after it ends. I've already reported it to 343 but no response, and I'm not the only one affected by this. It sucks because not only did I pay $60 for something I can't even play,. but it seems to be an under reported issue.

Anyone have any strong feelings on the progression/unlockables/challenges? It’s not really an issue to me either way but I guess I’m not the target audience for it (see aforementioned slur using 17 year olds).

I played thousands of hours of Halo 2 without a single progression system besides the ranking level next to my name. We all had identical armor and weapons, I can't imagine really worrying about it lol. Oh and your rank got worse if you had a few bad games too haha. I remember it being very accurate. Me and my buds always played together and always hovered at a certain number. Decent, but not spectacular. When squads rolled in with slightly better rank we knew we'd have to get sweaty to keep up, and when they rolled in lower numbers we knew we could dick around more.

Haven't played a game to this day with a ranking system that felt so accurate

Anyways, sorry old man post. Got my first triple kill in about a decade, and still reflexively teabagged.

i tried the multiplayer, but it took a long ass time to get into a match and it ran like crap.

wasn't feeling it tbh, but i never played halo back in the day, so i have no nostalgic feelings for the franchise whatsoever. just from how it feels to play i like destiny a lot more, but i bounced off the pvp modes of that game as well and pretty much only played co-op because it was broken as hell imo.

maybe if i knew it ran better on my machine i'd give it another shot. might be way more enjoyable then.

Purely cosmetic, I hate microtransactions too and the prices are way too steep but considering the multiplayer is free to play and also therefore doesn't require Xbox live I'm very happy (I only got an Xbox to play this game and the future Bethesda releases and was relieved I didn't have to pay the subscription on top of buying a console)

It feels like a spiritual successor to Halo CE. While I may not go crazy grinding on it like I have BR games, I think they knocked it out of the park and really have perfected the feeling of the franchise this time around.

My only complaint with the campaign is that areas and enemy encounters are too repetitive, having different biomes like they showed originally or adding different kinds of areas would have went a long way. I wouldn't hate if they did a Breath of the Wild thing of having small, puzzle like dungeons with rewards at the end either, even if they're just like a platforming test with the grappling hook or something.

That said I had a blast with open world and loved getting new bases and unlocking items for them. Loading up a warthog with some soldiers before tackling the assassination missions is great.

Halo means a lot to me and I spent the last weeks mostly on the Halo Waypoint forum.
If anyone ever thought slap is toxic.. 😅
I mean I love video games, but it is kinda scary how serious some people are about a video game.

Yes some things are not as great as they were in Halo 3 for example. But no one is forcing anyone to buy cosmetics in this game. Main issue for me are the bad server connections and the desync. The gameplay itself is incredible. Sounds like a lot of fixes will come, since the plan is, to make this game the Halo for the next decade.

Not a bug, you have to toggle different chat options on in audio settings. Goofy I'll admit, though I like that they have options.

if anyone is having problems getting thrown off the servers or getting a no internet message, try this:

go to device manager>network devices>ethernet(or wlan or whatever)adapter>properties>powermanagement

it's probably set to turn off when not in use by default, set it to always on.

fixed most connection issues for me. apparently the game can't figure out to turn the adapter on again. for me it basically shut down my whole internet connection after one round. now it's fine.

Been loving this game, however the main and only real issues ive had were with big team battle, it works about %75 of the time solo but in a squad it has only worked two times

same. love the big team battles.

but actually i wish there was something like planetside3. perpetual sci-fi warfare with hundreds of players. the big team battle maps have been a bit boring imo. sometimes they seem to big, sometimes too small.

Still having lots of fun with this game. We need new maps and forge or it’ll start to get stale

Yeah, I keep finding new little gameplay things that are exciting and interesting but we need new content. Attrition was great in my opinion and should be plugged into the normal ranked playlist.

Forge is what kept a halo game feeling fresh for a longer time in my experience, i feel like the Devs know that.

I believe if they add classic maps/ new maps it will freshen things up in the meantime

They definitely do, they've said Forge is coming and there's also a bunch of rumors of a possible new PvE mode being made by Certain Affinity that may be some kind of Invasion or Horde mode that incorporates the Forge stuff as well but take that with a grain of salt

They were supposed to release the roadmap for new content in January but announced today that it's being delayed, I wouldn't expect a whole lot until season 2 unfortunately

If they just gave us Lockout, I'd be happy for a while.

343 posted their plans for the game in the future, looks like they were moving slower than expected, however forge has been confirmed to be coming eventually as well as more maps and an increase in the quality of player experience.

Been playing online a lot. I really like it though I suck. Used to loved big team battle but I'm not really feeling it in this game, maybe its the BTB levels. Not sure.

I love the Skewer.

BR is clearly the best non power weapon and the most fun to use, it sucks that it isn't your default weapon in non-ranked.

I'll come back when season 2 kicks off but I think I'm done until then. Love the game just doesn't have enough content to keep me hooked any longer and there's too many other things out there I want to play right now

I grew bored quickly with the current state of the game, but I still enjoy a match or two of multiplayer every now and then. Game definitely lacks content on mp side. Hopefully they'll come out with more maps and other goods.

I know I kind of suck at Halo.

But when I play online, sometimes I feel like I die almost instantly, like in like literally 1.5 seconds from first shot to last shot and I don't even know what happened. I can't even shoot 4 rounds from a battle rifle that fast. I know I suck, but when I die that fast it doesn't seem right nor does it make for a particularly enjoyable experience.

A lot of players (myself included) have been experiencing crippling de-sync errors, like delayed shot registration and getting shot around corners ect. which may make it seem like you aren't damaging the enemy while they mow you down like nothing

343 has acknowledged this (https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/closer-look-halo-infinite-online-experience) and is working on server fixes to improve this for the players experiencing it, until its actually fixed the game is basically unplayable for me.

haven't played in a while, but is mp still dodgy? i can't play with my us homies without getting disconnected from the server, client or group at one point during a match. and generally it seems like you can't really relog after you were booted from a game, but have to wait for your friends to finish the round. that sucks big time and is the main reason i don't play it a lot anymore.

The Matchmaking issues like being disconnected have been noticeably better than they used to be, so what you were experiencing has been patched for the most part, especially for big team battle

however for me and some other players, when the matchmaking was fixed I started to have the de-sync issues...

I don’t care what anyone says, Halo Infinite is a blast. Since they implemented a ranking system im no longer being paired with full time halo streamers and Internet cafe Chinese kids. It’s so nice being paired with people my skill level and getting more than 2 kills a game.

I know they took a year and half after launch to fully develop the game (and there’s still shit missing like firefight) and all the other problems like drip feed and shitty customization. But I say better late than never and I enjoy the gameplay loop more than anything. I never customize anything in FPS games anyway.

The campaign is also great in my opinion. I can see why people wouldn’t like it if they don’t like open worlds but I thought they executed it great with the exception of it being one biome. Its worth making it through the open world part to experience the last few linear levels which are some of my favorite halo missions ever.
I also thought the high value targets and capturing FOBs were awesome additions.

I hate that I like this game so much. Sometimes I absolutely rip the other team, other times I'd be better off shooting harsh language than my weapon. Might be a me problem, but it seems like it's really easy to control spawns if you know what you're doing.

That being said Super Fiesta has been my jam recently, the heatwave and sentinel beam variants kick ass
