re: Halo Infinite Discussion Thread

When the community went nuts about no TS and they said something like “well the UI doesn’t support adding playlists right now” I knew we were entirely fricked

I think they fully killed off this game with the update.

Silently removed a bunch of in game features and people are pissed especially pros.

343 lost Halo Infinite’s casual crowd, now devs are driving hardcore players away too

Outside of the typical weapon stat tuning, 343 shockingly adjusted one of Infinite’s core mechanics. ‘Advanced sliding’ or ‘jump sliding’ as many refer to it, has been a fundamental part of the multiplayer experience since the earliest public tests in July of 2021.

Mastering your movement is one of the most effective ways to get a leg up in the competitive shooter. Thus, the mechanic has become ingrained in just about every experienced player’s style since launch. 

Following the May 3 update, Infinite no longer supports this mechanic. Moreover, a wide assortment of the game’s more intricate movement tricks have also been patched out.

Leaving the most passionate players and even former Halo devs shocked, 343 opted to go in a different direction without even so much as a warning.

I only played a couple games last night to check out the two maps which are great and the cosmetics, so I didn't notice this but something felt off.

Just got finished playing and I definitely noticed it. What a terrible decision.

I'll never understand why companies do shite to appease casuals at the expense of people that love the game. Casuals won't play it if the fans think it sucks.

This is especially the case for Halo that has a specific play style. It's not like anything else which is a good thing.

Is this a late April Fools joke?

Which makes the situation that much more disappointing

Everybody I know that played it loved it at launch and agrees the gameplay is awesome and hasn't been the problem until now.

The problems are that there is not nearly enough content so we can't play it for hours without getting bored and they're actively making the gameplay worse.

Apparently they can’t keep developers and other employees because 343 has turned into a woke shite hole of a company. That’s why they can’t get anything done on time or don’t have enough content.

It's such a bummer. It took me a week or so to get back into Halo, but man this felt like Halo 3 to me... but there was just not enough content to keep me playing.

I meant that as a positive.

How does Microsoft continue to let 343 frick shite up with their most popular game
