Halo Infinite multiplayer is finally here and while 343 has crafted a worthy online shooter, player progression feels like a damn chore.
Details regarding the 10-year content plan for Xbox Game Studios and 343 Industries' Halo Infinite have allegedly been revealed.
"The story would have been expanded through yearly campaign DLC, so players would not have to wait for another mainline Halo title." ~ this seldom works
But I still think, they should've tried 1 last Halo sequel based on that slipspace engine, that they invested so much on but made for current gen only, before going all in on UE5.
The biggest voices of Xbox’s Halo franchise have been told nothing about the multiple new games in development.
Call me a cynic. But it seems that not even the people working in the studio know what’s the status of Halo.
They were going to add a BR mode, which then got cancelled, but now it’s a sequel to infinite, but may be a reboot of the first game?
It may be normal for development to be like this as super Mario galaxy started as cut content from Mario 128, which then became a tech demo, which became pikmin, which eventually became Mario galaxy.
But 343 or whatever they are called now-certainly don’t have a good track record so it makes me wonder what’s happening.
I'd be much more comfortable with the future of Halo if "343" or whatever they call themselves now were no longer in charge of the series.
Halo Infinite now has a functional bowling alley thanks to this amazing Forge map available for free on Xbox and PC.
WTF!!!? Can we add Tic-Tac-Toe, maybe Connect 4? How bout the card game Go Fish? Microsoft should shelve the Halo Franchise for 10 to 20yrs or sell it clearly they have no new ideas to take Halo forward and putting a "Hey gamer finish the game for us" mode and we can make more money off it and we can fire some more game Developers that we really don't even care about.......Microsoft is done even trying to make Halo a game worthy of even a little bit of our time.
I dont mind the grind BUT I get it can be frustrating for others. They will change it accordingly to what the majority of the Halo community wants which is cool with me. Also I hope once the campaign launches it will have some nice easter egg rewards that carry over to the MP. I will playing Infinite & FH5 as much as I can over the next few months so it will be nice to get something unique for that.
They already said it's coming later this week.
I couldn't be more happy with the gameplay but the progression system is shocking. There was a lot of talk from 343 in the build up about player expression but how can we do that when it takes over 20 hours just to unlock a new visor colour. Everyone is going to look the same even after another 3 months, there's just not enough customization options even with the full battle pass unlocked. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I thought 343 said we could unlock everything through gameplay but right now 99% of stuff is locked behind a pay wall.
I've not played it yet. I'll be diving in today. I've seen so many awesome 'Halo moments' moments on Reddit though! I'll keep the progression in mind when playing.
Better progression would have been there if it was a purchasable title with halo infinite. As its free to play people are moaning even though they have a great game to play without forking any cash out for it
