Awesome as it is it would take away valuable dev time that most players would never try

@@ABoxIsMyHome I don't think you realize the sheer number of people who preformed an easter egg on reach just to drive the phantom/pelican.

@@tarterus0117 good point but reach had a way easier development cycle, infinite had masssive crunch time and still cut many features while reach had everything

@@ABoxIsMyHome "massive crunch time" Bro it had the longest development time of a Halo game by far, how are people still saying that with a straight face?

Yeah, you can't even hitch a ride on them. They spawn in a certain distance away and then spawn out. Leaving you free-falling.

I understood that reference.

Meet the Spartan

"SEE! GREEN! no wait that's the marines"

TF2 REFERENCE TF2 REFERENCE TF2 REFERENCE TF2 REFERENCE

"Boo."

“Ok, shop’s moving; just gotta wait til the next stop… what the-?! CURSE YOU, BUZZ LIGHTYEAR…!!!”

Theres no fall damage so what's the panic you actually fell invincible in infinite

I think they were stunned by my sheer athleticism

game mechanics.....

It's probably because they're locked into the "seats" so the ai can't respond, and neither can they leave either.

@@wxXRYANXxw most likely scenario

@@urielventris5493 yeah I realize it’s probably just an oversight by the devs but it would have been cool if the enemies actually reacted to you boarding the ship

It's always worked that way

No, they did expect it. They just didn't care.

@@AlgaeEater09 in the Bungie halos they also didn’t respond. Dose that mean Bungie never cared about halo?

@@Halo-5-is-a-masterpiece I think the difference here is Halo Infinite is open world and in open world games it's intended for people to do stuff just like this. In heavily scripted missions like the original Halos - you're not expected to do stuff like this.

@@AlmarWinfield open worlds give more freedom for things like stealth, weapons and equipment. For example you could go into a FOB with nothing but a plasma pistol or I could go in with a full squad of marines. I feel like jumping into something that’s on screen for like 15 seconds doesn’t qualify. That’s just me tho

GRAY FOX??!?1/??!

You’re that Ninja…

Yeah and u could grapple to the Goliaths and turrets too

You could also yeet the Atlas soldiers into the Warbirds rotating blade.

Yeah it actually stunned me when I found out that most people did it know you could do that, I probably beat the campaign 10 times and I did that every time I played that mission

@@Certified_Dude which mission was it?

Hahaha

Or even just the other games, I remember in reach and firefight if you knew where they'd be you could just fire a fuel rod or rocket or grenade as the hatch opened and just about everyone would die before they hit the ground, kinda wish they'd use the grav lift sometimes, or maybe open the side not facing you

I've had that happen, the marines will keep shooting at it and it will still explode. Pretty funny

@@MegaClaymore123 My five marines once gathered around a shrunken phantom when it halted about 2 metres off the ground at the top of a hill. When the Phantom exploded, all the marines were killed because the blast radius was still the original size.

@@jonathanl1276 lmao, i hope to some day see this in my game... So far I've seen marines shooting at air and refrencing it's poor driving skills and drilling the chief to get closer ... but there's no enemies to get closer to.

I have a video of this on my channel

@@jonathanl1276 I've had the exact same thing happen with a razorback full of marines, driving up to see what they were shooting, realizing it's a mini phantom only for it to blow up and kill all the Marines lmao

Idk why but for some reason 343 got this and was yup we doing it. As well to kill the pilots and fly in it.

Hopefully in DLCs…

or beat out the driver and take it as your own personal transport.

This game adds plenty of new ideas to halo, wdym?

Yeah, the game is very boring to me in comparison to older halo games, yes, it's open world and everything but it gets really repetitive and empty really fast. Also, it lacks of many details (no blood, no bullet shells, dumb AI, no corpses, vehicles despawning, etc)

When my grandparents arent home, I go out into the garden, cover myself with dirt, and pretend to be a carrot.

I love every glitch we the players come across we do not want to get patched out. It’s like the game is… perfect.

@@justcallmetyler5291 lmao

@@justcallmetyler5291 did you not just watch the video where the developers obviously didn't account for players getting into the phantoms?

I ended up having one roll down a hill. It stopped firing and froze, fell, and then there was no stopping it.

@@Magpie1701 nope, but it’s funny how the community can break the game. Halo infinite is the least buggiest game of 2021, despite every other game getting delayed they actually worked on it.

Halo 3 you can walk on the Scarab, and in Halo Reach you can walk on top of most vehicles p consistently. Falcon strat for CTF gets you fast wins

@@IlyaSPARTAN108 reach was pretty shaky and 3 had walking on the scarab as part of the main game mechanics. Halo 2 phantoms also bounced you around and flung you often. This is the first phantom I can think of that is perfectly stable when you stand inside it.

@@mrpancake8889 the Scarab is a vehicle in the game files for Halo 3 which is why I mentioned it. It has a special tag to enable you to walk on it like normal geometry, but that tag can also be applied to other vehicles The Halo Infinite Phantom might be the first Phantom you can walk in just fine, but it's not the first time the feature of walking on moving vehicles had appeared in the series

But nobody even said anything about, "the first time the feature of walking on moving vehicles"... he specifically said "you can walk inside the phantom while it moves. I believe this is the first halo game to do that". Yet you felt the need to refute this in some way. Sounding like a know-it-all also usually means sounding like an ass. I always sound like an ass though so I'm fine with that, it comes with the territory of constantly correcting other people XD

@@shadowmonk9672 my comment was extracting the information of "walking on moving vehicles fine in a Halo game without sliding" from the comment I replied to. Hence the content of my comment

That should've been part of the campaign

That’s sick as hell

It should take you to a marine slave camp run by a spartan killer and you have to kill him to rescue the marines and escape

Drivable open-world scarabs would be so high-tier

amazing ideas. infinite campaign was great but feels so barebones for a full price release

@@atlas2061 how would that even work

@@LolLordy That's because it is. Basically, this is the "shadow of war" version that's MEANT to be designed as flawed. The game after that where they add the good stuff will be the "shadow of war" version. Where they do everything much better. Sell on the hype then show an even better game. That way you get double income while coming across as looking "good" at first when in reality it's average. Even Final Fantasy is doing it. Though with FF they do kind of have to basically expand an entire world. Games like shadow of war and whatever the next halo will be are more focused on "larger scale warfare". Let's face it. We have skirmshes with smaller troops with not enough backup on either side in infinate. When past games have had backup sent in midfights on your own side with pelican drops and your own marines are overpowered even on legendary then it removes the challenge from the game. It's clearly not balanced out properly. Considering that shadow of war was balanced out (where in shadow of mordor I had to not get certain abilities on purpose to avoid being overpowered) then I'm confident the next game will pull things off. There's past games that serve as templates, both in and out of the company. Provided they up the larger scale war factor, focus on balancing skills and have larger assaults with better objectives... It's what some mods have done in past halo games even. The marines would even get away with being overpowered if swarms kept coming until certain warzone objectives are done (think warzone missions with having to claim and conquer a base first). As it stands it's basically "Give them all an OP weapon and walk over the enemy". Either they have to nerfe sentinal beams in the next game or give the enemy a means to soak up that type of damage type. It'll be "the endless" next time though. Though wherever we'll fight the banished for the first half of the game in the next one is unknown. It will be interesting to see how they balance things out. Or perhaps fail too. Either way really need to up the "war" vibe with having marine pelican drops while charging through enemy forts. Perhaps some sort of "marine training" game mecahnic can be employed so they need to survive long enough to use better weapons to justify how OP they can get with them. This gives the player incentive to actually look after their marines as well. Perhaps a simple order mechanic where you look at a marine and order them to take cover or attack/fallback. That would also be good for setting up snipers or other amubushes.

whats BLAM?

@@changen4125 blam is the engine halo has used for the past 20 years. The slipspace engine is just an altered version of it. The codes that dates back to halo ce, still exist in the game we are playing today

@@mayanksharma5006 that's one of the cool things about game development, in every engine there's code from another, older one in it.

@@mayanksharma5006 delta force games had this mechanic back in the first game

You know that you can kill the gunners, right?

@@Dickstick not the main turret. Atleast not in a reasonable time before 1000000 shots are already in your face.

@@ichigo9171 debatable

I mean that would be good if the phantoms were still indestructible and they wanted to make them like scarabs or liches, but sadly the reality is that theyre not immune to infinite's weak vehicle HP and so a couple rockets completely blows one up

@@assistantmagus5213 I sat on a rocket hog for like 20 shots before one blew up

This comment sounds so cursed 😆

Wait he has a grappling hook how hasn't he done this until now?!

Appreciate it, will do!

I mean, people are really desperate to like this halo, and they're not wrong to say this game kinda lacks in variety

This exact mentality is why you haves games of this quality. Enjoy!

There are so many ways this game could have been perfect, but there were so many things that were intentionally butchered that prevents me from loving Infinite. Granted, a majority of my grips are on the multiplayer side.

@@redmanrode8349 tbh halo has always lacked in variety. It's always been fighting the covenant alien species, or fighting the flood species. In all the years bungie owned the IP, they never gave us new aliens aside from the engineer and the monke (brute) which had very predictable roles. My tastes have changed since halo 3, if halo Infinite was just like the older games, then I probably wouldn't be interested in it. I want new ideas, with an understanding of the old games. I think halo Infinite has delivered in what I want. Now you know where my bias lies.

@@scumbagearth9637 I will, my taste in games has changed since I got to the max rank in halo reach on PC and since I played a shitload of halo 3. I have also learned the value of compromise. Halo Infinite is the best compromise youl get. If you think that my attitude will create bad games, then I'm sorry to say, gaming is going in a certain direction whether we like it or not, due to the fact that financial models have changed. If you have ever bought a microtransaction or played an open world game, then your part of the reason why Halo Infinite is what it is. To me, Infinite is the best possible scenario for a modern halo game, and I celebrate it. They could've done MUCH WORSE with the game, and turned it into a 100% battle Royale simulator, but they didn't. They made the gameplay closer to Halo CE than what Halo 3 was, and they created a new campaign with something different than a preset amount of missions you cycle through. I respect that. I'm kinda sad that you don't. The inability to compromise leads to the death of all things worthy.

You're not missing much, the game really punishes you for being in a flying vehicle, it'll spawn banshees on you a lot that literally only want to get you out, if you exit, or your vehicle is destroyed, they despawn
