re: Halo Infinite Discussion Thread

I keep seeing these YouTube videos showing off new weapon variants, but I haven't encountered any of them in the game.

Are they in some specific playlist or something?

There aren’t any yet. Either faked videos, from flight tests, or just development promotional stuff that will come when we the frick 343 wants to squeeze more money from you.

I’ve officially reached boredom status with this game and have stopped caring about how well I do. All I want now is a dedicated Super Fiesta. Ranked has become too sweaty even at plat levels and the inconsistent hit register and melee is annoying as is the ability of the BR to beam from across the entire map and kill you easily without any drop off but when you try that you seem to get smoked. Aimbots likely.

I don't like being that guy, but this actually sounds like a skill issue

Might be a ping issue. Some games my hit reg is awful. Like I put 6-7 br shot into guys and I die, then they get hit by a grenade (I'm watching in my cam after I'm dead) and they are still up. But some games I'm like a headshot magnet. I wish I knew what the issue was.

I’m sure some folks may have figured this out but with the changes to the battle pass progression you can actually progress pretty fast if you work it right.

The first 6 games of the day (starting at 11am) is when you will get the most experience for just playing. You receive an 2X experience boost for every 5 tiers you go up the battle pass.

Combine this multiplier with those first six matches of the day and try to grab any challengers you can within that hour.

This will shoot you up easily 4 to 5 tiers depending on what challenges you combine with the multiplier. Once you get up your five levels you will receive an additional 2X multiplier.

Then just repeat that the next day. Any other games you complete beyond the six games will help.

I’ve swing the hammer and gotten a body shot only for the hit to not register at all and then wind up dead. I’ve also dumped a mag of Needles in someone and then meleed for them to NOT die. And I’ve ammo dumped the AR and then a BR HS and that doesn’t register.

And that’s in addition to shitty inconsistency with the rockets and taking a body shot from an enemy barely in front of me and then taking no splash damage and me killing myself if I do much as hit a rocket at their feet too closely.

The aiming and damage in this game has been wildly inconsistent for me.

And BR is still a rifle and you shouldn’t be able to spam it across the map with accuracy like that. But then I’ve always preferred the smaller H5 maps and I just don’t like these larger Infinite maps where it comes down to who spots who first at extreme distance.

The reality is that the BR has always been a gun with close to not quite completely long, but kinda long range in most Halo games. 343 was up front with the push to return to older Halo style of play, so this really shouldn't be a surprise to be honest. The BR is meant to be a great equalizer so a team that fails to secure the powers weapons in a segment of time is only at a significant disadvantage rather than proverbial checkmate.

BR is pretty consistent for me, outside of a couple high latency lobbies.

I think people having issues are probably lower on the rankings chart.

I mean, I’m probably right

It did come off kinda dick-ish though
