Also love your work man keep it up

Thank you for watching and for the kind words. You ask a great question and who should get the most blame is a tough one. 343i deserves blame for never really having a consistent plan and poor management throughout development of the game. Microsoft however really has poor oversight on halo and didn’t see the issues coming until it was too late and when they finally made the changes to the studio just decided to cut its losses instead of trying to turn this thing around. Now it’s like they informed 343 to just squeeze as much money as you can from the community with the most limited resources available to make meaningful content.

And this alone ​@@MarzzmanGamingis what I never see people using touch on. Thank you for being the 1 so far and thank you for responding means a lot

We appreciate you tuning in and engaging with our content.

marzzman how can I email you on something that iv been dealing with for 4 months now with 343

Thank you for the comment. A lot of work was put into this research and appreciate the additional insight.

You are right. Thank you for the comment.

I still play and enjoy halo infinite for what it is. I was in the top 100 to hit hero and have over 10,000 games played. It’s gotten so repetitive and stale with the sandbox. It is sad what the game could have been, so much potential. I’m excited to try out Xdefiant. Should be a breath of fresh air

Thank you for the comment. We hope is doesn’t end either and should be kept alive until the next installment is close to coming out. Just curious, How do you like it so far?

@@MarzzmanGaming It’s really good. I thought I was gonna be bad on most multiplayer games, but I’m actually holding my own and doing awesome work. For the Spartan points, yes I do think it’s kinda over the top a bit for getting the things you want, but I really don’t focus on that stuff that much. I only try to save up to get the things I really want, like the Mark 5 Helmet for example. Other than that, I love the game. It handles well and I feel like if they loosen the grip of wanting money, Halo Infinite could be at the top. They were doing something right for the customization maps and A.I., so if they kept that train going, Halo Infinite could match up with the standards of the classic Halo games.

Thank you for the comment. Yea it won’t be one weapon that does that but a combo of weapons + playlists + maps will be their only chance.

Yeah give me a few things while i wait for the new game

Xbox players have no taste, thats why infinite is in 25th this playlist is modified. No one plys this, only fanboys carry this toystory-esque incomplete game

⁠@@cheporestrepoi wouldn't say no taste just nothing else to play, as far as xbox games go. i mainly play ps5 now but i wish there was something good on xbox again.

How do we save Halo, as a whole, and predominantly the game we know of as "Halo Infinite"? 1) Rebrand the entry to separate these two games. "Infinite" was the previous title provided to the game tailored to a social-casual experience. "New" rebrand is the game for everyone else. 2) Separate "Social" into either it's own game (launcher) or an individual Match Composure (Social Composure), thus allowing for numerous queues while not caring about weight times. 3) Remove the current "TrueSkill2" implementation, replace with an implementation that focuses around CSR, rather than winrate. Put this to all non-social playlists. 4) Make the CSR a Skill-Progression metric, equal to 1-50, but in newer rank format, using a bell curve. 5) Make upwards of 10-12 of these variety skill oriented playlists, with each of them rotating between each accustomed meta shift of the HCS season's. 6) Developer maps only. "Community maps", with respect, undergo severe scrutiny before being put into matchmaking. No more "falling on pebbles" in an FPS. 7) Minor meta changes every few months to provide large swings of competition with minimal overhead. Larger meta changes every year putting entirely "new" experiences in the hands of the players or even competitors. 8) Battle Pass must be an FPS battle pass -- Weapon models, weapon coatings, weapon attachments. Store must be either pop-culture in player cosmetic (no lore, period), or specifically tailoring to rare weapon affiliated cosmetics. 9) A competitor Battle Royale, created by the developers, to be designed as the defacto "Halo Battle Royale". Zero PvE, since this has never been popular in any Halo FPS (period, proven). 10) Update this portion of the game substantially more, taking feedback of not just typical matchmaking players, but professional players alike, and creating a separate "HCS" playlist just for the competitor player feedback to take affect. Finally. 11) Balance the games sandbox around classic Halo design as upon launch -- Weapons with "super fast ttk" are hard to use, weapons with "low ttk" are easy to use. Less pickup weapons that aren't power weapons (classic Halo), and maps gravitating toward control oriented play, rather than "3 lane easy map to make it more digestible for a casual". All "social", aka "casual halo fan" playlists and features are only in the singular "composure" playlist, which shouldn't be a focal point, nor an area for continuous updates. Updates to this should be minor, at best, and at worst for "fixing bugs". Not for updating or adding content. Content in this situation should be stipulated behind "You have forge, a custom game, a custom games browser, and an all access derivative of the game settings, make your own casual content", since not only has the developer been incapable of creating "some youtubers imaginary belief of how infection should be", but simply that the "community" that thinks Halo should be popular as such, should be the ones to actually make the content for this section. 343 should never add anything they create into matchmaking directly, and in fact, there should be a simple checkmark box for the Social Composure for "community" where it's a rotated community option that cycles through community content that was added. If anything, at the extreme case, they have more of these tickboxes, but these should only be used sparingly since community maps are not only the highest quit rate maps of Halo in general, but disliked by the broader majority of fans overall. And be sure to stay tuned as this slowly happens and evolves over time. The "Unreal engine" Halo is a spinoff game, not mainline entry, and to my knowledge it shouldn't have any multiplayer attached in the traditional sense. In addition, this game is multi-platform and is one of the numerous entries headed over to other platforms. Meanwhile, the next mainline Halo game is in discussion phases still, but to break into the future of the series, they first need to figure out where they failed with this game. The only way to find that out, is by actually trying polar opposites. What attracts players, what doesn't, what went wrong, and where will it go right. Having a pseudo "content complete" game is all well in good, but what defines "content complete" when the fanbase does nothing but create "what defines Halo" out of thin air until they receive it, then create this belief that "if the game doesn't have everything every game had in existence, ever, in mankind since the 1960's, it's not content complete". How on Earth can 343 be the only development studio held to this insane standard, when people don't even hold any other game to it? It's like asking 343 to remove skill matchmaking in Halo, the game that created & popularized skill matching.

Next week marks the start of the return of Halo.

Thank you for the comment. We will be here until the boat sinks most likely. Still believe with a strong dev team and leadership Halo could flourish.

Ps. Kudos for, what seems to be, banjoo kazzoie music. Brought me fond memories

Yes, we love us some banjo! Salute to a fellow gamer for recognizing it 🫡

No not necessarily. Mix of number company and parent company that has led to where we are today.

Yea and we also criticized it. We used it as a comparison between games around content for multiplayer. What’s the issue?
