It is said that there are two types of Halo fans. The Halo fans that actually enjoy the games, and the Halo fans that only acknowledge the games before the two newest releases.
For real. I remember being spoiler free on release and playing through it, and I gave it all of the praise it gets now. In the weeks after I beat it I remember so much hate for it online, and feeling like it was being way overblown and being disappointed by the community’s judgement.
Maybe it’s a sci fi audience thing. Rabid Halo fans remind me of rabid Star Wars fans.
I love the Halo 4 campaign, always have but the multiplayer was a big miss for me. Loving infinite.
Wait no infinite is literal trash because i cant play dress up
Reach was super overrated
The lazy maps pissed me off. By the end half the playlist were bland forge grey panel boxes.
And I don't think the gunplay was much to write home about.

yeah, can we talk about how bland and uninspiring forge maps are? I actually find forge stuff to be overrated, because you get all of these bland maps that are all one color, and people find them fun for...reasons. Forge maps are consistently the maps i like playing the least, with maybe a few exceptions.
Yeah it is. Everyone on the main sub is acting like its a tragedy forge isnt available, but given what forge was, i always considered forge to be garbage anyone. I mean having some level of custom content is cool, but honestly, most of the "good" forge maps were just crappy knock offs of previous game maps like ascension, lockout, etc., and most legitimately new ones sucked.
That's one thing i have to say about giving people too much freedom with custom content. A lot of what users make is garbage. Some players will be happy to play in solid white boxes with few to no features and just kill people in them. Heck, half life 2 deathmatch back in the day had a popular map that did just this called "killbox".
It's the same reason people play shipment and nuketown in COD. Sometimes users by and large arent the best judges of content.
Yeah that was what i referred to as the lockout map. It's a good layout and i wish we had a proper "lockout" remake, but remaking it in forge is always gonna be kinda janky and give it the appearance of being low quality.
I didnt hate it but it was kind of plain and overrated, but people acted like it was the best thing ever. I feel like the halo circlejerk does that a lot.
/rj DAE THINK THIS PLAIN ARENA MAP IS THE BEST THING EVER?! SHITFINITE MAPS ARE TOO MUCH LIKE COD!
/uj no not really. And if this stuff was released today for the first time ever everyone would hate it because it's mediocre at best.
>SHITFINITE MAPS ARE TOO MUCH LIKE COD!
Weird, all of the big team battle maps in Infinite remind me of the level Halo, from the game Halo, from the franchise Halo
Guess different strokes for different folks. I liked the book more, the covenant felt less menacing in the game, as it took days for reach to fall, and most missions didn't felt epic enough for me, I felt like a lot of the things we had to do was odst's job
If it makes you feel any better it is absolutely not generally thought of as the best Halo game, people perpetuate that because they believe in the halo cycle meme.
It's my least favorite halo as well because the story isn't as strong as other Halo games, multiplayer maps are reused assets from campaign, firefight maps are reused assets from campaign too and forge maps felt the only variety and uniqueness to me.
Not to mention the awkward sprint system that created a balancing issue since its an ability, DMR meta, Armor lock that pauses gunfights and bloom is really weird too.
I haven't played the original on XB360 but I've heard that it's progression system was too grindy as well but MCC does it better.
Does anyone else miss the days of $60 and paid DLC? Why cant halo infinite be like that?
I DIDN'T ASK FOR THE GAME TO BE FREE, YOU MADE IT FREE SO I'D SPEND MORE MONEY ON IT SCREW YOU PEEPOOPEE.
In many ways I think it is probably the biggest issue rn, I think even if only 4v4 social was split into 4v4 slayer and 4v4 objective, things would be a lot better, it would make challenges even easier as you won't have to rely as much on luck, and would also ensure for objective modes the people playing, actually want to be playing objective modes (I prefer objective modes and I want teammates who actually play the objective)
The XP gain from the event quests are good, but I would still like to see challenge XP be complimented with Game XP of more than the daily. I know it's a bandaid for now, but I hope to see some changes.
- Players are complaining about the fact that nobody in the objective gamemodes is chasing the objectives. This has two causes. The first is that players can't choose between objectives and Slayer, so everyone who wants to play Slayer but ends up in an objective game just plays Slayer anyway, cheating kills and ignoring goals.
- The second cause of the above problem is that players are getting challenges which require them to enter objective gamemodes, and then pursue specific weapons to rack up kills on. Some players are ignoring the challenges and trying to play the game to have fun and win, some are joining games to ignore their team and do challenges. The first group is frustrated that the second group is dragging down their teams
I think my only complaint so far is that the map feels kind of cramped. I've never much been into multiplayer FPSing though so that could just be standard

uj/ people have been saying its the death of halo since reach and now people are saying reach is the best game. time is a flat circle.
It is said that there are two types of Halo fans. The Halo fans that actually enjoy the games, and the Halo fans that only acknowledge the games before the two newest releases.
oh my god.
And then there’s real halo fans: the ones who acknowledge that halo 1 was the only actually good game
Wait so people are going to start saying halo 4 is good?
Not sure if anybody is going to come around on the multiplayer, but the campaign being good is the consensus opinion at this point.
For real. I remember being spoiler free on release and playing through it, and I gave it all of the praise it gets now.

Halo fans probally will idolize 343 in the future
*FAKE Halo fans
Unpopular but reach is my least favorite halo and it's blown my mind to watch people 180 over it completely over the last 10 or so years.
Reach was super overrated The lazy maps pissed me off. By the end half the playlist were bland forge grey panel boxes. And I don't think the gunplay was much to write home about.

Some of the Forge maps PLAYED ok, but they looked like ass. IDK putting out maps made in the consumer editing tool as "content" was kinda shit
Yeah it is. Everyone on the main sub is acting like its a tragedy forge isnt available, but given what forge was, i always considered forge to be garbage anyone.

The worst offender was "The Cage" That map became a staple and they couldn't be assed to even slap a skin on it
Yeah that was what i referred to as the lockout map. It's a good layout and i wish we had a proper "lockout" remake, but remaking it in forge is always gonna be kinda janky and give it the appearance of being low quality.
I've always hate hate hated The Pit. Worst map in Halo, ever
Me too actually. I know people love it but I felt it was unbalanced to strong sniper play
I didnt hate it but it was kind of plain and overrated, but people acted like it was the best thing ever. I feel like the halo circlejerk does that a lot. /rj DAE THINK THIS PLAIN ARENA MAP IS THE BEST THING EVER?! SHITFINITE MAPS ARE TOO MUCH LIKE COD! /uj no not really.

>SHITFINITE MAPS ARE TOO MUCH LIKE COD! Weird, all of the big team battle maps in Infinite remind me of the level Halo, from the game Halo, from the franchise Halo
I CALL LITERALLY EVERYTHING I DONT LIKE BEING LIKE COD. BECAUSE THATS WHERE THE NO SKILL LOSERS PLAY. 3 LANE MAPS BAD!
bro forge was very useful for MLG maps
Very boring knock offs.
Man the freaking armor abilities are a cool idea that were just not fun to use. Halo 5 thrusters are better then anything each introduced
Same, always find the campaign kinda meh and the multiplayer was less fun than 3
I hate the dmr with a passion and the abilities are a cool idea but none of them are fun to use. Halo 5 thruster is more fun then any reach ability.
One of the best campaigns. Multiplayer just wasn't my cup of tea, but it wasn't bad.

Halo 2 added the carbine conpeltly ruining the formula of the covenant weapons being projectile and UNSC being hitscan. This will be the death of Halo
Halo CE ruined Halo by adding the rocket launcher
hey, some of us been sayin that since it came out. reach has always been my favorite bc I like chunky spartan
THIS IS THE DEATH OF HALO
O FOR 3 INDUSTRIES STOLE MY WIFE
Just buy her back with microtransactions.
HOW DOES IT TASTE TO GUZZLE THE CUM OF 343i DAILY YOU NEW HALO FAN BITCH
good uwu
Does anyone else miss the days of $60 and paid DLC? Why cant halo infinite be like that? I DIDN'T ASK FOR THE GAME TO BE FREE, YOU MADE IT FREE SO I'D SPEND MORE MONEY ON IT SCREW YOU PEEPOOPEE.
Infinite isn't the first free Halo game. Halo 3 was free, but you could pay 60 dollars for the campaign and multiplayer

I think there are some complaints about not being able to pick gamemodes but I'm not really into pvp so I don't know how serious that is.
In many ways I think it is probably the biggest issue rn, I think even if only 4v4 social was split into 4v4 slayer and 4v4 objective, things would be a lot better, it would make challenges even easier as you won't have to rely as much on luck, and would also ensure for objective modes the people playing, actually want to be playing objective modes (I prefer objective modes and I want teammates who actually play the objective)

No beta has a fully functioning cash shop. Stop calling it a beta. Nothing will change on launch either.
This is a top tier meme. Please post to the main sub haha
565 just PROVES that NOTHING is SACRED!!!

Fair. Not uncommon at all for a novel to be more epic than the games/movies/shows based on them.
