Thankfully i don’t play Halo. But seems everything 343 touches is a shit show Lately. It seems the 360 games from 10 years ago were universally accepted as more polished.

As time passes, it’s becoming clear that this game needed a few more years of development but they probably didn’t want to wait that long and decided to release it knowing it would take years to be completed.
A live service game shouldn’t lack this much content especially when historically the older games had more content and features on day 1.
Absolutely, it's terrible how bad 343i isFacepalm
For clarity, I don't give 2 shits about Halo; never did, probably never will. That said, it is the IP that put Xbox on the map and it has been left in the hands of clearly incompetent people for many, many years. Time for a total reboot with an entirely new studio, Phil.
I never use it but my bro does all the time it’s how he gets MLG in every game he plays lol. It definitely works as advertised fr fr.Just use the excellent LFG feature on Xbox. It works really well. It works well even on PC.
And you still can. It's just that Xbox made matchmaking at the Xbox level, universal instead of game by game.What an epic fail. I have 0 friends who play these games and I was looking forward to playing some coop, even if it was with some randoms.
Why would they lose money on a successful game?Can't even imagine how much money they lost with this single game.
How’s this an issue if that’s how previous Halo games have worked? Including the Bungie ones.
I'm not a developer but why? Doesn't seem like its something difficult to implement for a studio with a hundred million dollar budget. Honestly they need to just give halo to ID and take 343s developers and intersperse them throughout the MS gaming studios.
Ah yes. A well reasoned, detailed argument at last!
And Halo 5: Guardians while they’re at it?Just fking bundle it with mcc collection and call it a day 343 is a fucking shitshow , no matter how much u try u can't defend these incompetent fucks
And then task 343 to add co-op campaign matchmaking to Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3, ODST, Halo 4, Halo 5 and Halo Infinite AND Halo MCC. Since none of those games. have it.And Halo 5: Guardians while they’re at it?
I think reach was the only game that did, and that was added after launch and people didn't like it apparently.I don't understand why can't they have this feature?
Interesting. So matchmaking was in a Halo game before? I bet 343 saw the usage of matchmaking and it was rarely used, so why spend the resources? Playing a campaign with strangers sounds awful.I think reach was the only game that did, and that was added after launch and people didn't like it apparently.
What are you talking about? You don't need matchmaking to play coop with your friends..Gdamn it , I didn't played this game cuz I wanted to go CO-OP with a buddy , but nope ! I will skip it and my copy of the game is garbage also , there is no game data on the disc.....
one of the best games Among people with ridiculously low standards yeahWhat a horrible company, releasing one of the best games of 2021. I mean how can they look themselves in the mirror.
one of the best games Among people with ridiculously low standards yeah
So your saying the entire gaming community has ridiculously low standards?
are we talking about the same community that currently ignores this absolutely dying POS game?
Conveniently ignored the question about why you are in the thread, but ok.
We are talking about the whole gaming community, you know, including the ones who play one player games with missions. But I guess that doesn't exist to you.
Good question — why are they clarifying that online matchmaking won't be available with final co-op.....if it's never been part of a Halo game before? Why are they having to clarify this point to GamesRadar?How’s this an issue if that’s how previous Halo games have worked? Including the Bungie ones.
They also mentioned LFG, but I suppose it’s more dramatic if you go with Discord.
I don't think lack of content is the main problem honestly.I still think the main reason why Infinite is dropping is that it has such little content, especially compared to MCC which must have 20 times the content, literally. MCC was always going to overtake it at some point, it was just a matter of when.
I still loved the campaign, and my 80 hours in Infinite MP. 343 need a massive kick up the backside though.
Well the lack of content was the mian problem for me. Like i said, i put 80 hours into the MP, i thought it was pretty awesome to be honest, but you can only play the same handful of maps so much, no matter how good it is.I don't think lack of content is the main problem honestly.
It doesn't help, but the main problem is the actual structure of the game. The menus are a pain in the ass to navigate, the challenge system a slog, armor customization gimped to hell, and the actual gameplay is geared towards e-sports which makes it sweaty as the reeds of my asscrack in the summer. Granted I enjoy some sweaty games but there's not really any casual games anymore.
Then there's Infinite's social features. I mean by the almighty Space Christ look at this:
The real irony is that for all the talk of reaching a "broader audience", 343 fucked up the very features that gave Halo such wide spread appeal! Over the past 10 years Halo has gone from an all you can eat buffet to an overpriced steakhouse with some appetizers.
- Theater: Busted
- File Share: Busted
- Custom Games: Busted
- Forge: Looks better than ever but fuck is it late to the party
- Campaign Co-Op: Finally here 8 months after launch
- Player Profiles (e.g. stats, commendations, player cards): Basic as buttered bread
- Pre/Post-Game Lobbies: Fucking where?
- Voice Chat: Must be enabled in the menus???
- Proximity Chat: Not happening
- Player collision (yes I'd argue this affects the social aspect of the game): Busted AND missing despite popular demand
Imagine giving a shit about this dumpster fireImagine going backwards in time wow
Achievement hunters, localised players for better connections/teammates, friends not always available at the time you want to play etc. If a coop matchmaking system was tied in with playlists and achievements etc it would be a really nice evolution of those systems and likely deliver more players more often than say...not having it.Who wants to play halo with strangers?!
The drop isn't really little content, its that the game is a call of duty ripoff instead of a real Halo game.I still think the main reason why Infinite is dropping is that it has such little content, especially compared to MCC which must have 20 times the content, literally. MCC was always going to overtake it at some point, it was just a matter of when.

Infinite is an awful game actually which came and went. Its another generic fps call of duty ripoff like the many out there. There is a reason that is failed and nobody plays it anymore.What a horrible company, releasing one of the best games of 2021. I mean how can they look themselves in the mirror.
I honestly feel sorry for Halo fans. <....> This is basic stuff. It’s Dark Souls level of co-op. Fucking Returnal has co-op matchmaking.
still, Infinite is a failure, it has the fastest dying playerbase of any Halo to date, getting literally overtaken by the MCC in player numbers.
so the gaming community as a whole has spoken, this game is not worth playing, hence noone is playing it.
the big player numbers it got were all from the early release where only the multiplayer was out, that quickly dies off and noone cares anymore because everyone saw how bad the game is.
literally Counter Strike Source AND Counter Strike 1.6 have now more active players than Infinite

Good question — why are they clarifying that online matchmaking won't be available with final co-op.....if it's never been part of a Halo game before? Why are they having to clarify this point to GamesRadar?
How was this expectation set?
That's what you gotta be asking.
Also, to whoever said that Destiny doesn't have online matchmaking, it does have online matchmaking — but in some modes, they don't offer it by design, not because it's not a feature they support. Nightfall, normal strikes support matchmaking....unless I am missing something here?
If you mean the story campaign, I suppose you are right, but they can offer it with the campaign if they wanted, as far as I know or understand, since the game supports it for many modes in the game.
I honestly feel sorry for Halo fans. I played the masterchief collection with random online drops as well as with a friend. This is basic stuff. It’s Dark Souls level of co-op. Fucking Returnal has co-op matchmaking.
Hahaha the mods dont play.Oh look, now calls me a "c u next tueseday" because he's sensitive.
