There's a couple of hot takes in this video! So I appreciate everyone who has already commented expressing their opinions and disagreements in an amicable way. Who said Halo fans can't be civil?
If you want to see Halo fans not acting civilized, take a look at HaloFollower whenever he makes a community post. Those comment sections are brimming with negativity, it’s an actual Goddamn nightmare to look at.
NOT ME I CAN'T STAND THIS SUCKY GAME BECAUSE ALL GOOD GAMES ARE EITHER BAD OR UNPLAYABLE LIKE TF2 not that one that one th-cam.com/video/3NGiHshh028/w-d-xo.html
@@flashygreenx8828yeah as long as you’re close it makes up pretty well, still would love the old shotgun and pistol back, but what can we do, only complaint I have is the alphas having invisibility, eventually someone will die, so why give the alphas more than enough of a chance.
The likely reason the update size was so large was because they have decoupled campaign and multiplayer’s launchers. They can now test updates exponentially faster than before
Also if they decide to make a campaign DLC in the future, they have the ability to do that much easier. They also pulled the animation team for the multiplayer story off and put them onto something new for "highly requested features in Infinite". So maybe they're planning to do something like that.
Oh also the update only took up 6 GB more than the game did before. The massive requirement was mostly replacing old game files, so it deleted the old ones in the process, so roughly only 6 GB extra.
As a player that stop playing after season 1and came back to season 4 I’m loving it so far let’s hope they focus more on content since a returning player is back
The pause when you showed the ability to change colors of the dead spartans had me dying... unreal. Its so obvious that its only like this because of monetization reasons.
I disagree with your takes on infection and the translocator. The most viable strat for survivors has always been to group up with other survivors, and the new equipment that the zombies get makes playing as them actually somewhat enjoyable. So many times in other games if you were first infected people would just quit. I haven't seen many quitters in this version. The translocator being a power up and not an actual piece of equipment was a good choice on 343s part. You called it a free kill, but that can be said about both the overshield and the active camo as well. It also doesn't slow down the game nearly as much as armor lock did.
I agree with all of this, especially the part about sticking with other players. 95% of my infection games in 3, Reach, and even 4 have a group of people sitting in a defendable spot. Not everyone, but most of the survivors. Infection has ALWAYS been about standing your ground in one spot. And 343 somehow managed to make this version of infected the most fun to play
What's wrong with it? I mean we don't pump action and pervious iteration of infection br and pistol wass meta, now you can pick anyweapon you want and go for head shots.
Few things you missed here, and I don't blame you since they were only advertised in blogposts. But previous cores are getting new armor this season, as the new fracture returns to Yoroi to provide more armor, event stuff is hidden in the customization menu until that event has passed, so there are new pieces in the game but they'll be dropped over the course of the season for free (unsure on shop stuff, but idrk if thats anyone is gonna be majorly upset about). Similar stuff will likely happen for subsequent seasons, there will be more Mark V stuff in the next season me thinks, judging by whats in the API.
@@charlescabbage2933 You'll likely have to wait until Season 6, if they keep up the same rhythm of updating cores retroactively in order. On the bright side cross-core coatings will fully be a thing in S5 so that'll offer us some better customization for the cores that missed out.
Personally I prefer this mode. For one being an infected is actually fun unlike previous games where the infected gameplay was basically just running at the survivors until one guy gets a little too cocky and gets himself killed. Also I like the fact that you start off with so little ammo cause it's creates tensions as you have to decide whether to leave your position in search for ammo or other guns or maybe stay where you are and hope to pick up ammo from a fallen survivor. Also you mentioned that you don't like infection because it is too "campy" and that it punishes solo player but that's how infection has always been. Infection has always been about sticking together and holding down positions. Just go on halo 3 or reach and try to play solo. You won't get far.
My main gripe with the camping in Infinite's version of Infection is that the camping spots are more clearly defined than they previously were and are borderline impenetrable when you get them fully locked down. That massive hallway on Behemoth is ridiculous, some of the rooms with only one entrance on Bazaar, etc. I can't think of any spots like that in Halo 3, Reach or 4's version of Infection. There were at least flanks that the infected could take. It feels like you're too safe in Infinite's infection. The only real concern to your survival is lack of ammo and your teammate's awareness.
@@LaperLarden In behemoth you can enter via a hole in the back so the goal is to bottleneck the survivors. Also previous game did have cheap camping spots like the underground rooms in isolation or the spawn rooms in foundry in halo 3
Been a halo fan since Halo 2 when I first played it when I was like 6. I have a large portion of the novel. I played Halo 5 months, even years after it's launch. I have some collectibles. Halo has been a huge part of my life and the last time I played a match in Halo Infinite was 3 months after launch. I haven't played the game since even with all these new updates because I've basically been driven to the point where I don't care about the games whatsoever anymore. It's a little heartbreaking since Halo has been a huge part of my life and my childhood.
The Quantum translocator is definitely not a get out of jail card, and if your using it that way your using it wrong. It can give you multiple lines of sight, if a sniper had a translocator they basically have two lines of sight. I was able to use it to capture two points at once in landgrab, i dont know if you know this but the translocator places a portal every time you use it. try pressing the teleport key more than once or twice
Judging by all the clips I see of it, it definitely is. Doesn't matter if you can use it for cooler things when a get out of jail free card is what 90% of people are going to be using it for, just like armor lock.
If they want the infected to have equipment then they need to make them slower. They are super fast and on smaller maps like aquarias it's way too in favor of the infected. Also it's way more intense when you can see all the infected slowly going your way as you try to headshot all of them.
I think keeping them fast in the start is good and only alphas can have the abilities, but as more and more players become infected, they get slightly slower and slower.
i just want halo to be back on top again. those first few weeks of infinite's launch were immaculate, it actually showed microsoft and 343 that people still love the franchise. yet, they're still running it into the ground. i'll still keep playing infinite, albeit with all of its issues, i genuinely still enjoy the game. but 343 either gotta step up their game, or switch devs with certain affinity, at least they had an inking of what halo is supposed to be
For me it is, but only because I dick around in customs with my friend. The new infection is fantastic with bots, especially since when I'm the Alpha I can scare the everliving lights out of my friend.
To be fair with the quantum translocator, I feel like it’s only mostly annoying in infection because so many zombies have it and spawn with it In regular PvP it’s essentially a power weapon, with limited uses Active camo would absolutly be flamed if it were added into Halo for the first time with Infinite Same with overshield, even rockets which is essentially just free kills I’m fine with it, definitely not as bad as armour lock because that literally stopped the game for 5 seconds and had an abusable emp, the melee out and back into Lock then out to melee again Plus the fact that anyone could spawn with them and it recharged infinitely
20 minutes, I couldve answered this in 30 seconds, Its worth it, if you like cheaters, low player turnout and playing the same maps and game modes over and over again. It's the literal definition of insanity.
@@Bmsol531 hmm..i mean its lower in ranked but in social it gets rotated bc they rotate every map with 5% chance, so yeah its more like your expiernce besides....when there is unlimited playlist dedicated to best maps, why would I try rank?
@@Bmsol531 I mean why play rank when thier rank team slayer doesn't have a good starting weapon? Wait for them to patch it than play it. Ranked players are after this update gave thier critisim about this update and tbh team slayer not quite fun yet.
I agree with a lot but I think you're using the Quantum Translocator wrong it can be a get out of battle free card... for noobs it can actually lead to some pretty good take downs with a way for the opposition to counter it, charge up, set a portal, aim yourself in the right direction then portal back to get the kill either get the kill or portal back to someone who spots your portal and camps the spot with a Rocket Launcher to boot right up your a-
It's irrelevant if it "can be used for cool stuff." Armour lock can also be used for "cool stuff," but that's irrelevant when most people will use it for a "get out of jail free card"
@@Priception It's called 'skill gap', bud. Has been a thing since Halo 3's equipment. You can make the same complaints about things like the bubble shield, power drain, and portable grav lift. It doesn't change the fact that the Quantum Translocator is going to be used differently depending on the player's skill. High skill players will very likely smoke you with it while low skill players will just frustrate you
@alexfrost2799 The part you're forgetting and what the video actually talked about was how overpowered the teleporter is. No matter how skilled you are. There is no way for a "skilled player" to be able to counter a person teleporting halfway across the map when they're about to lose a fight. The issue with the teleporter is the same issue as armour lock. It's easy to use and it doesn't take much skill to use.
@@Priception except the difference with the qt and armour lock is that everyone started off with the armour lock in Reach, you have to obtain the qt in infinite which has the same spawn times as Overshield and Active Camo, meaning only one person can have it at a time in 4v4,and it only spawns like 3 times per match. It really isnt as frustrating as you are making it out to be lmao
@@Priception you are completely forgetting that when someone uses the quantum locator, there is a trail showing exactly which direction they went. It's not hard to read unless you just don't put any effort into it. And Dude I got food is right. You'll see this power-up far less frequently than grappleshots or thrusters, so it should be better anyway. Quantum locator falls into the category of power-up, not equipment.
Fire Fight has been heavily rumored to drop next Season, if that doesn’t bring in a much needed population boost then I don’t know what will. Actually, post campaign support probably would but let’s be real, Microsoft won’t give 343i the manpower for that.
Having it a radar scrambler would have been a better choice. An area of your choosing maybe setting up radar jammer for that area? Idk just spitball in but the current Threat Seaker honestly isn’t my favorite.
This has to be the most relatable halo TH-camr ever, pls 343 fix your game. They title the season after infection and it doesn’t even work properly in customs lmao.
Threat Seeker was made as a competitive "Ranked" version of the threat sensor. that's why it was released alongside the quantum translocator. Pretty sure we'll only see one equipment per season
Infinite finally feels like it’s launched with S4, Infection is great and the career ranking really makes a difference. And the new maps are some of the best in the game! I’m just happy we’re in a spot where upcoming seasons will have fresh NEW content instead of just adding stuff that should have been in there at launch.
I was fully under the impression that the heatwave was going to be used for infection given it has the same reloading properties as the classic shotgun but ah I guess not. Also I'll defend the QT in that you only get to cheat positioning, after having taken it from the middle of the map, so unlike armor lock it's something that's earned, and the counterplay is more interesting too since everyone can see the portal in which you came from
And luckily you don’t have I frames, so even if you cheesed out of a fight, one too many shots and you could kill that person, even then? You can see where they go from that portal with a little trail leading towards the direction they’re in, so it’s actually a really great addition, my only problem with the newest content is that they give alphas invisibility, get rid of that and make infection tailored maps, and this game mode would be the best it’s ever been.
@@void-master9077I strongly disagree, the QT needs to be nerfed. Really skilled players can cheese the hell out of opponents with it. I suggest a one time use, have the teleport position be destroyable and highlighted for enemy players, when ready and active it should be very obvious to opponents to see (eg. having a certain glowing color on the Spartan), have limited distance from teleportation in order to use, have limited time to use, and when ready and active it should take away your shields. Basically make it like duel wielding where it isn’t necessary and might put the user at a disadvantage but still fun to use.
I'm a PvE player, but there's still no new content, and the half campaign we got isn't enough to bring me back. Above that, 343I flooded the game with out of place cosmetics, they fucked up the lore beyond repair (save for a complete retcon of the last decade) and they clearly won't go back to the classic gameplay. Add to that a thousand of little detail that are off. I'm not going back to Halo as long as it's under 343I. But I'll keep playing the originals.
@@paperclip6377 You are not alone Halo needs a Hard Reset in Terms of Lore The Things i hate the most are: -Foreunners beeing jealous and genocidal Vampires instead of Humans -Characters killed off Screen like Rtas 'Vadum or the Rookie -Human beeing overpowered and controlling the Galaxy for no Reason -Making the UNSC into a soy Faction full of progressive-leftist Policies and Politics -F*cking up the Banished after Halo Wars 2 -AI Degeneration Bullsh*t is just retarded -Every AI beeing a quirky Character themselfs and written like by a 12 Years old -Nerfing the Covenant to a Point were One must ask how they possed such a Threat in the First Place -Removing the Flood from the Setting for no f*cking Reason -Killing of the mysterious Side of the Setting by explaining every Detail in a stupid Way, like the first Flood Outbreak beeing because Humans used them to make their Dogs shinier...

Surprisingly, I like the Quantum Translocator, just took me a while to get used to it, and I do enjoy this variation of Infection but I really want to see an Alpha Zombies mode, with just shotty and sidekick, no extra equipment. Anyway bro it felt good to be watching one of your vids again. You always make killer Halo content! When Firefight releases (should be S5) you, ShreddedNerd and I need to squad up, I reckon it'd be a good time :)
I've come around on the translocator after messing around with it some more in Infection. Using the inertia from one jump, to fly through another portal and catch someone off guard is a lot of fun! And absolutely! If Firefight is out in S5, I think a playthrough with the Aus gang is going to be necessary.
Overall it’s a great season. Finally added Career rank which was desperately needed, and infection. I’ve been having fun with it. It is kinda discouraging seeing the game has such a low population though.
I dont know its not too much to keep track on. I find it fairly easy. Both infected and Spartans have a good chance to win. Reach was always so unfun for starting as infected and camping was always present.
10:15 I use it to get into battles not to get away from em u just need to use it like an offensive equiptment not defensive... Great video bro and lastly the forge thing is just 🤯🤯🤯
Now would be a perfect time for a relaunch with some campaign dlc to get the people who left back in now that the multiplayer is finally starting to take shape
I know halo as a brand isn’t in the best spot but can we admit that we as a community are very much glass half empty. I just wish we could be more encouraging and supportive, because if I was a brand new player and heard all this I wouldn’t bother trying the game and as a stand alone game right now it’s pretty damn decent
The lack of customization in custom games infection reminds me of a story from a year ago. I had made plans for an MCC customs night with my friends. We were gonna play some classics and new games the community had made. I had wanted to include some from Halo 4 as that was the game I started to fall off from the franchise. I even went as far as to make a map for it based on Halo 3 Predator. I spent the week leading up to working on the map in my spare time, was proud of it, and went to finish the game type. Turns out, Halo 4 infection can not use weapons other than the energy sword. I just don't understand how it had less features than Halo 3.
Bro you can literally have ai units in custom games and people have already made amazing maps with that feature not to mention there's a reason to place custom games as you can get XP from it.
Not hating on season 4 but still I just don't like most of the weapons. I always feel like I'm using the same 2-3 guns cause most of them are just not fun. Imo they're too precision based.
laper delivers as always. while I think the season is okay, "too little too late" is unfortunately an accurate description for the game. at this point, I'm holding out (lol) for firefight
I have to admit. The "should have been there at launch" complaints are getting OLD. A year and a half of complaining about no progression system. Fair. Understandable. The progression system finally drops and we are STILL prattling on about how it wasn't available at launch? Did we want the progression system or not? What's the point of asking for it if you knew you wouldn't be satisfied when it was actually delivered? I get the frustration with the wait, I really do. It's just exhausting seeing that point trotted out for the millionth time even after we received what we asked for. Also, I disagree on the retroactive rank acquisition. We waited a year and half for this progression system, why would I want to skip a large chunk of that content? Imagine you played 1000 hours of Infinite before S4 dropped, the whole time wishing there was a progression system. Then the system is finally added to the game and you only get to experience 65% of it because you automatically skip 40+ ranks. I imagine you would feel cheated. For all intents and purposes, you received less than 3/4 of the promised progression system. While someone who just started playing Infinite, received 100% of that progression system. That sounds like the opposite of rewarding people who stuck with the game all these months. Half of the allure of a progression system, at least to me, is the act of leveling up through each rank individually. Grinding; is that not the whole point of a progression system in the first place? Sitting for 5 minutes and watching my rank increase with no interaction the moment I boot the game up doesn't sound very enjoyable. I've experienced it before in other games, it is not fun. I understand the other side of the argument, personally, I would never want to do it that way.
The Alpha zombies make a really loud sound when they are near you, it is pretty easy to notice it. The powerups also respawn after 30 seconds, so the best way to win is to stack the camo powerup instead of camping with other people, if you are the last man standing and you have camo activated, the zombies can't see you, so you automatically win.
Surely that's an unintended glitch? Being able to hit camo and not have the last Spartan standing target above your head seems like a pretty uneventful way to win.
For sure. The new settings tabs "legacy" zoom so you dont have to "unscope" from 10x. and the shield opacities made the game brand new to me. The shield is paper thin now its awesome. you use to have big crayon looking outlines on all the players which confused people because they looked like their shields were have busted at all times. you can turn that down now so all you see is an actual spartan until you crack its shield.
Wasn't aware that you could do that with shield opacities. I usually play with outlines on because it gives you a major visibility advantage. But maybe I'll try playing without it for once.
@@LaperLarden Give's a way more classic feel. When they first came out with the color schemes and how they don't change. I was majorily disappointed but now you can change it all to the classic yellow and then turn the opacity off so its not always glowing. Theres thickness too so you can adjust how powerful the shield pop is. It took me like 2 weeks to fiddle with it. I'm happy to turn off the team walling because I really don't need to see my teams shield glowing through them. lol
As someone living down under, Im always sceptical of getting into new multiplayer games because the player base usually dies pretty quick in our server region. As much as id love to finally get into Halo Infinite now that it has decent amount of content to get into, I don't see it as a good idea to hop in if there's going to be more time spent waiting for lobby to queue then actually playing the game, although I'll definitely stay updated to see if that ever changes.
would have really liked to see some sort of reward system for completing certain time consuming tasks where you get cosmetic rewards for completing. For example you got 1,000 head shot kills heres a cool sniper skin. Or stuff along those lines. Or if you hit max rank you get a special armor color.
This is a very unbiased feeling halo video, it feels like a lot of videos are either a hate feet for clickbait or “LE KING IS BACK” every single time anything gets added. This video nails the feel of the tired apathy that infinite gives off
I don’t mind the new season but I can’t get excited for things that should of been there day 1. But I have mixed feelings about infection I think some of the changes are cool but other I question. I actually like the looting around the map for weapons but i think they should of just given you the bulldog start of the game. having the commando and full 120 cap from one ammunition box can be kinda op on certain maps like behemoth. Also some maps just don’t work in infection like chasm where you can just take the high points on the map and just camp there all game. I do think that the infection should be able to use Fusion coils for balance out the game. And I not to bothered about the 30 seconds for last standing given the infection move a lot faster now. But invisible power up is broken in the game mode for the last stand. The new btb map is okay only played the map twice. New equipment is boring tho and I’m not to upset about the teleport one given its a power up like overshield and activate camo and doesn’t show up that much in my matches. But all in all this is mid for me didn’t get too hyped for this season.
@@ninebreaker2009I mean just the bulldog no secondary weapons so in encourages looking for other weapons because even the commando on some maps like behemoth all you need is the commando full ammo and you have a high chance of winning the round
Simple answer if you're new to Halo yes. If you're old to the Halo franchise and Halo infinite it still feels like a chore to play and I personally still prefer Reach customization, how to obtain gear *[ fuck season and the cash shop, but heeey players would buy regardless so it doesn't matter ]* I miss being able to play as an Elite and have Elite customization in Halo 3. I wish invasion was in the game, firefight or a sparten ops mode maybe both. Challenges are still cancer for how annoying it is just so I can get a color or armor piece which is stupid.
This season made me uninstall between the dead spartan customization to desynch, team balaancing, weapn/vehicle balancing, and the various other glitches juat made me sick of playing. Social is literally sweats that use the wasp to rack up 30 kills cause the rocket launcher doesn't lock on and the rocket hog is weak.
Idk why everyone dunks on Halo 4’s armor. I mean I understand the artstyle change, but that’s like a bigger issue that the armor falls into. The armor itself in Halo 4 seems pretty cool.
343 should put some resources into heavily campaigning Infinite on social media. Run ads, pay big streamers to play it, have a little contest regularly, etc. I think it's a really good game and there's no other arena multiplayer game that is similar right now, aside from the MCC. Crazy killstreak clips from btb being shown to everybody as ads, including crazy vehicle plays, and highlighting that the game is free, and clearly pointing out the differences between this game and others with a low ttk, has to attract more players.
What we have now would be great as a VARIANT in the Infection playlist, not as the entire thing. The alphas having camo, shroud, and sliding stupidly fast is overpowered. The update broke my infection scripts so I had to replace with official on my Halo 3 L4D remake. I swapped commando for sidekick, made it work as best I could. My night variant is made to obscure zombies already, so the inability to disable camo ruins it. I just came here from trying to do customs. Hosting Infection sucks. You can't join lobbies, so you have to start a game. Yet when you start Infection, there's only one person so the mandatory countdown timer starts. People don't want to wait through this. I can't get more than 3 people at a time after an hour. Halo 3 I can fill a lobby in literally 5 min or less every time on the same map/mode.
Apart from playable elites and brutes, i want to be able to set a unique stance, weapon and vehicle colours so that they all match if i want to change armour cores
there actually gave the yoroi armor core new cosmetic. there are two new Tenrai events again this season + whatever stuff they're putting in the store.
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Season 4 looks like its another step-up overall. I never cared for Infection whatsoever, similar to most free-for-all modes in other games, since I’m never really 1st place anyway. Even if Halo Infinite still needs a lot of work, it’s getting there. Look at Overwatch, that’s not gonna last long with their current situation. And I heard there recently that the hiring freeze over at Microsoft is finished, so we could get more peeps to help work on Halo Infinite overall again, AS LONG AS THERE IS NO BATTLE-ROYALE! I’m probs one of the very few peeps that’s still positive about Halo Infinite, so to anyone that’s gonna swarm my comment, there’s a nice Chopper with your name on it you can ram yourself into, head first. So, yes, Halo Infinite, despite its issues at the moment, is still worth playing in 2023. Why would you bother with Overwatch after what happened? Thank you for reading. ;)
I think the population problem might be on your end, I live in the United States, and I find matches very quickly, there’s lots of people on the customs browser too!
In regards to infection, I hope they add new game modes to the playlist(also a veto or voting option would be nice, which is an understatement) Maybe survivors have a Heatwave and Mangler Or a Bulldog and and Mangler/Sidekick in one mode, maybe zombies have shields but they are lower strength as to not make them too hard to kill And then give the Spartan more ammo too (Oh and the infected would have no equipment or a single use thrust or something maybe in this mode) And hopefully forge creators can make maps that are a bit more tailor made for infection
I actually like the skewer in infection, it's a more rare use case, but if you're in a hallway, you can pierce a good 4-5 people at once if you get really lucky
Everyone has their own opinion ofc but for me the translocator is fun as hell, maybe even the best equipment I've used in a halo game next to the jetpack and the grapple! Obviously it's OP so 343 was smart to make it a "power up" as opposed to the more common equipment pickups. I love this equipment and the visual fx on it are very pretty!
The threat seeker was added to be a less oppressive version of the threat sensor specifically for competetive and the quantum translocator is as powerful as it is because it fills the role of a power equipment (active camo and oversheild) not a regular equipment (drop wall thruster etc)
I do understand a lot of people’s disappointment with this game. But I am glad that I still like this game. This game has always been fun to me since it launched with its base gameplay and I hope that infinite can reach a point where it can bring back its players.
Unless halo infinite has a free or very cheap dlc for the campaign to actually bring people back to the game I can say with almost 100% certainty that no one who has stopped playing Multiplayer is going to come back to the game. Vast majority of people aren’t forge map makers, the quality and speed of release and most of the player base is gone making games custom or official nearly impossible to find. They’ve burned away the goodwill of the larger community and no matter how many seasonal passes they do or armor sets they aren’t coming back.
Correct me if I am wrong but has Infection always been like this, like you staying in a group, and if you go out of that group you die, and the Infected always winning
I’ve played since flighting, only had fun the first month of release and then I wasn’t having fun. 2 years and I still don’t see this as a finished game, Machinima tools are practically borked, Theatre is borked and Forge (at least for me) is also broken. I want a green colour on a wall? Too bad, it’s red now. Sometimes it just crashes instead. I simply can’t have fun with this and I’ve seen myself slowly fall back to MCC, even with this new season.
I like this infection because it is a risk and reward as a survivor to go out and get more ammo and better weapons, it may not work with the current maps because of their size but could be better in forge
No, unfortenutely it is not worth playing due to horrible desync and other issues. Just tried playing team slayer, what an unbelievable shit show. Some power weapons don't work or a rocket launcher that just shoots through players, shots don't register and other issues. But that seems to be the norm in this game, especially if you're outside of the US. I could go on, but after 3 times I just left as usual. The only time desync decreases is in the middle of the night, it's disgusting.
Definitely agree with the translocator. Doesn't feel like it belongs in Halo and they could have done so many other things that would have added a lot more value and creativity to the sandbox. Would have loved holograms to return indeed for example. I just don't understand how a career rank took this long and it is this shallow. It's insane to me how well Bungie thoughout their features in Reach in comparison.
One thing I've learnt about 343s trilogy, they can take a sure success and fumble it, hard. They could take an auto-win with the community by adding BTB CTF blood gulch and somehow fuck it up. It's simply beautiful to watch.
Regardless of how people are feeling about the multiplayer and infection, I've been having an absolute blast with Forge. Sure, it's a bit obtuse at first glance, but the depth and variety of what you can do is very impressive.
A lot of the time i wonder if i'm the only one who just goes "unga bunga gameplay fun, do challenges, nice, done" There's so much little details people care about and when these things are added or fixed they don't affect me anyway. The boys don't play halo anymore so i don't treat halo like the old games now, so i just play it for fun and to pass some time. Definitely need better social stuff and custom matchmaking to join a random gametype of choice. I've been playing halo since CE on the original xbox, and I can't play the older halo games anymore. I have them all on MCC and it's just nostalgia, i genuinely find in terms of todays gameplay, infinite is the best halo for me. Casually, i think the game is doing alright, and i'm glad it's getting better. We seem to forget they have lack of people working on the game now, and they're only just able to start hiring again, under the new leadership i have high hopes that maybe they'll add something that'll finally affect my casual day to day play. I preordered infinite like the next guy, i stopped playing for 1-2 years because it didn't feel good to play, i returned this year and it's been great. But again, i'm super casual compared to content creators so i can at least understand why you lads have a lot to pick out. Thanks for the video! Watched to the end, good stuff.
It absolutely blows my damn mind that people are STILL holding out hope for a dead franchise. I knew back when Halo 4 dropped that it was over when they couldn't take a massive cash cow and run with it and drop the ball so hard on their very first game. It truly was Amazing to see amd yet in 2023 people are still like, nah guys theyll get their shit together lmfao.
Honestly though, the real problem is that everything just feels like “hey guys we released this thing that should’ve been in at launch, but it’s actually worse than how it used to be. Oh and here’s like 2 maps.” It’s just kinda…underwhelming, and disappointing. Not enough to drive any of the old fans back. Just leaves the new fans left to enjoy their niche game
The progression system I agree is worse, but infection is far better, I never liked the mode, tried it today and actually had fun both as a survivor and as an infected
@@deathshot2101the /gamemode itself isnt but custom games are unbelievably scuffed. One thing I sweat in the only person who has noticed this that makes me mad is the abysmally low ammo MAX you can have in custom games. You can only have 15 rounds max no matter what gun you have which sure is alright for guns like the bulldog but then its literally only 5 shots on say the BR. That's awful.
Last time i played Halo infinite i stopped bcus of life, i started playing jrpg switch games and ive been stuck playing them. Low key though, ive been getting the it h to play Halo Infinite, im one of the people who got the game early and enjoyed it always.💯
I just started playing again a few days ago, haven't played since release week. Only issue I've been having is finding ranked takes a few minutes sometimes longer. But been having fun!
its just more of the same, the game doesn't feel fresh and plays exactly the same after a year. So, no. Personally think this version of infection is a lot fairer for the infected, its just boring after a while
So basically 343i took over a year to get something as simple as infection into the game and they still can't get it right? Andy - Bunker Dweller was right when he said Halo Infinite was the hilarious punchline to a decade long joke.
How'd I know you'd use the "switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading" scene 😂 Edit: Something I'd wish 343 would do is add all the weapons from previous Halo titles. There's no reason mods on MCC can port dmrs, brute plasma rifles and the like to Halo 3 but Infinite can't
Yeah I would love that and for guns like the SMG/silenced SMG, Brute Shot, classic shotgun, etc to be brought back And hopefully they bring back the Falcon! Maybe some other vehicles too, maybe the elephant as much as it’s a troll kind of vehicle I’d love it 😂
@ItsSegggy it's just a shame because there is so much content from older games they can pull from to satisfy us while we wait for newer things but they just won't do it. And I genuinely do not understand why. They brought back the og dmr.... why not some other stuff too?
@@intuitionedits2.032 Because it's really not as easy as you think. Please, go ahead and port ALLLLL that stuff to the and see how long it takes for you to not get bombarded with death threats about weapon and sandbox balancing. Go on, tell me how much better you know game development.
@ninebreaker2009 where did I ever claim it was easy? My point was if the community can make all this amazing content with MCC mod tools, then what the hell is 343's excuse? And need I remind you: 1) 343 had six years to make Halo Infinite, so wtf were they doing that entire time for us to get so little in the way of not just overall content, but also weapon variety? 2) they have absolutely no excuse because they HAVE ACCESS TO THE SOURCE CODES OF OLDER GAMES. How tf do you think MCC was made?
My biggest gripe with 343 and Microsoft right now is how dismissive they are of classic halo fans. Okay, let’s say 343 is happy to make enhanced movement, MLG pro gaming, fast paced halo as the primary core of the franchise. Okay, fine. I don’t like it but whatever. But now classic halo style fans have nothing new to enjoy. We are just stuck playing MCC for all time. I wish they would make an ODST 2, where the movement and gameplay is all classic and now enhanced mobility or gimmicks. Just a new simple classic style games the fans of the older games can enjoy. But we will never see that in a million years. So it’s just demoralising for older fans who don’t like the new gimmicks
No. I would need co-op campaign (my wife and I can’t play together until that is added) I would want invasion, I would want a working theatre mode, I want playable elites, I want customisable colours, I want a reach style UI (the UI for infinite is terrible to navigate, perhaps one of the worst I have ever seen, even Halo 5 had a better UI). I also want the Hornet/Falcon back, I want classic weapons back (not possible for all of them considering how different the sandbox is) I want a visible player counter, I want dual wielding, I want the jet pack and bubble shield back (not as armour abilities but as equipment, these are very fun for custom games) and I want to get rid of armour cores. These aren’t unreasonable requests as they were all present in past entries. It is unlikely any of these will be added but if they are I will gladly return to infinite. That said, I still have nowhere to go for classic movement and gameplay besides the MCC. And it’s not really fair to old fans to keep them playing the same decade old games over and over and not give them a new alternative for the classic gameplay they like.
@@lilbubz2803 they're hiring again, so most of your wishes maybe fulfilled in s5. That's sweet of you to want to share halo experience with loved ones. I disagree with classic weapons bc in infinite they're far better not mention we have better counter parts to classics like stalker rifle > carbine And for advance movement, that's called innovation, it's more frequent to a melee kill in this game than pervious entries.
odst 2 (with the rookie in an ideal world, but) would be a massive W... assuming they did it well. unfortunately, 343 has this habit of doing something good with their games while everything else suffers
I think with the transporter it could still be a cool trump card if they make it so that your teleport point makes like an audible ping or some way for the enemy team to locate it (not too easily) so it has an actual counter to it instead of the enemy team having to hope one of them stumbles upon it randomly before you decide to use it. Idk just my idea for balancing if they decide to implement it
i'm going to be honest here. i struggled to find a based take here. infection on infinite is actually the best iteration of the game mode i have played and thats awesome. new maps are fire 🔥 and overall the sentiment of the game is becoming more better kuz of this season. i will say being on EST i always find matches right away so i do sympathize with aussies on that. honestly dont know how ya do it.
Halo fan since 2002. I really enjoyed Infinite for it's first few months, and the reasons I stopped playing are the same reasons I haven't resumed playing - the SBMM, the desynch and the speed of the game. Simply put, the game's too fast for me. I don't enjoy being cross-mapped by the sidekick before I can get to cover that is only 10m away from me. But also learning all the movement combos (sprint, slide, crouch when landing from a jump to keep momentum) whilst fun when I first started, overall these characteristics just make for a game that is constantly sweaty. And I'm not always in the mood for sweaty. And now that I've taken a break from the game I can't be bothered relearning all that for a game that I know I'll get over in a couple months again. And the SBMM was bizarre. I'd practice on my own with other players and do well (top or 2nd on the scoreboard) while trialling different techniques, but then when I'd join in my bro's games (he's better than me) I'd get slaughtered. I've never had this with any other game.
Good video, although I disagree on many things. Mainly that the changes to infection were necessary to keep it fresh and make up for Infinite’s mechanics and that Halo doesn’t need interactive elements in its multiplayer maps; they are gimmicky and quickly forgotten (like the gate on high ground)
Until they fix the god awful TAA, let us turn it off, or add dlss, I can't stand to play it no matter what they add. It's just so blurry in motion it makes me nauseous
@@SuperGoose42 TAA is a form of anti aliasing. It aims to smooth over pixelated edges by using data from previous frames. If it's not set up right, when you move the image becomes very soft and a lot of detail is lost. Infinite has a sharpening filter to counter this but it just over sharpens a blurry image and looks muddy and horrible. DLSS is a PC feature, though FSR would be the equivalent for consoles and other PCs. It's an alternative to TAA that still uses data from past frames but is a lot more advanced and has very few issues with image quality. It's so good that it's marketed on rendering at lower resolutions and still resulting in comparable quality, though if you render at the same resolution it's better in practically every respect and looks crystal clear.
You should try playing Infinite in 4K on the Xbox Series X in performance mode. Looks like playdough. You can't use smart link on weapons without looking like someone smeared aloh vera on your monitor.
@@LaperLarden you should try playing it at 720p. Sure, that's pretty low res but low spec gamers do it all the time and it should look good enough. I swear it looks like 144p For the record, I play at 1440p so that's not why I can't stand it, it's just a good example of how bad it is
When has there "never" been a camping meta in infected? Every infection was people camping in a corner and hoping for the best. Unless im remembering reach and halo 4 differently.
In my opinion halo infinite is only as fun as what you put into it. If you don't try and loose every game then yea no but if your trying and getting into thoes games where it's neck and neck or you u just win a lot. You have more fun forsure and is very rewarding.
bro the translocator is literally not armor lock at all. At least not to me. I use it to take on multiple opponents at once, heal, and then get back into fights. armor lock was a dead stop. the translocator is a skill issue. if you use it passively like you say, then you get nowhere, but using it to double your offensive, then you get things done. it's basically a locational overshield
1. Love this channel 2. Its sad to see halo going through this as it was a game I wasn’t able to play up until recently but getting into it doesn’t seem worth it
Ive played about 700 hrs and dont mind starting in the beginning of ghe progression system. Ive also never had any trouble finding games here in the US.
Bro you nailed infection and how i feel to a tee. The fact you are limited on custom infection, no ability for Fat Kid The fact zombies just over the top OP.
I disagree with your infection take, Bc infection now takes actual skill for both sides to compete with each other which ultimately make this game mode fun. Look at pervious versions, you had to camp somewhere until slow zombies catch you which you know its impossible, its chill for the first time but its boring in other times. Infection in infinite + forge maps = has insane palyabality which make this game mode best in the franchise bc its fun now to infected without hurting survivor expiernce. So what do you think? Although i do agree lack of pump action shougun very much make this game mode dissapointing for casuals BUT there is db shoutgun coming next season which fix this issue.
There's a couple of hot takes in this video! So I appreciate everyone who has already commented expressing their opinions and disagreements in an amicable way.
Who said Halo fans can't be civil?
If you want to see Halo fans not acting civilized, take a look at HaloFollower whenever he makes a community post. Those comment sections are brimming with negativity, it’s an actual Goddamn nightmare to look at.

I’m absolutely loving halo infinite right now
The translocater is great it's a little wrinkle in the gameplay.
I think they gave survivors commandos because 343 is, on some level, aware that the pistol is too easy to use.
And because the shotgun is trash
@@flashygreenx8828No its not.
@@paperclip6377 okay
*one shots you with halo reach shot gun*
@@flashygreenx8828 you realize if you're at relatively close range it one shots the right?
@@flashygreenx8828yeah as long as you’re close it makes up pretty well, still would love the old shotgun and pistol back, but what can we do, only complaint I have is the alphas having invisibility, eventually someone will die, so why give the alphas more than enough of a chance.
The likely reason the update size was so large was because they have decoupled campaign and multiplayer’s launchers. They can now test updates exponentially faster than before
Good point!
well, that explains some things.
Also if they decide to make a campaign DLC in the future, they have the ability to do that much easier. They also pulled the animation team for the multiplayer story off and put them onto something new for "highly requested features in Infinite". So maybe they're planning to do something like that.
Oh also the update only took up 6 GB more than the game did before. The massive requirement was mostly replacing old game files, so it deleted the old ones in the process, so roughly only 6 GB extra.
@@Will_Forgewe are absolutely not getting campaign dlc
As a player that stop playing after season 1and came back to season 4 I’m loving it so far let’s hope they focus more on content since a returning player is back
Im the same
You must have been lucky not to run into the cheaters or didn't know the player was cheating.
The pause when you showed the ability to change colors of the dead spartans had me dying... unreal. Its so obvious that its only like this because of monetization reasons.
Not gonna lie that part had me nearly rolling on the floor laughing
I disagree with your takes on infection and the translocator. The most viable strat for survivors has always been to group up with other survivors, and the new equipment that the zombies get makes playing as them actually somewhat enjoyable. So many times in other games if you were first infected people would just quit. I haven't seen many quitters in this version.
The translocator being a power up and not an actual piece of equipment was a good choice on 343s part. You called it a free kill, but that can be said about both the overshield and the active camo as well. It also doesn't slow down the game nearly as much as armor lock did.
The traslocator must also be used with brain and tactics because people can see your return spot and just wait you there
I agree with all of this, especially the part about sticking with other players. 95% of my infection games in 3, Reach, and even 4 have a group of people sitting in a defendable spot. Not everyone, but most of the survivors. Infection has ALWAYS been about standing your ground in one spot. And 343 somehow managed to make this version of infected the most fun to play
This is the bets version of infection tbh, but purists will nitpick about the flood and shotgun forever.
I also agree with this.
@@MillionaireHoyOriginal 343 shill moment lets gooo
343 having this core belief that automatic weapons have a place in infection will never cease to confuse and frighten me
There are all kind of weapons in infection, but to balance really low ammo count
What's wrong with it? I mean we don't pump action and pervious iteration of infection br and pistol wass meta, now you can pick anyweapon you want and go for head shots.
Agreed, barely any ammo for automatics aside from the turret but using semi-auto or pump essentially means you can conserve ammo
@@rowan7795 never actually thought of that, seems a good reason to add automatics then, right?
Yeah, the assault rifle is useless and never understood why they also put a sword as a pick up as well
Few things you missed here, and I don't blame you since they were only advertised in blogposts.
But previous cores are getting new armor this season, as the new fracture returns to Yoroi to provide more armor, event stuff is hidden in the customization menu until that event has passed, so there are new pieces in the game but they'll be dropped over the course of the season for free (unsure on shop stuff, but idrk if thats anyone is gonna be majorly upset about).
Similar stuff will likely happen for subsequent seasons, there will be more Mark V stuff in the next season me thinks, judging by whats in the API.
Man.. i want some extra free Rakshasa stuff man.. it's my fav and i missed it's fracture event
@@charlescabbage2933 You'll likely have to wait until Season 6, if they keep up the same rhythm of updating cores retroactively in order.
On the bright side cross-core coatings will fully be a thing in S5 so that'll offer us some better customization for the cores that missed out.
@@charlescabbage2933rakshasa had a fracture event?
I only knew of the lame ass chimera event(as of recent) that I ignored cause I really dont like how it's an inferior crysis bio suit
Personally I prefer this mode. For one being an infected is actually fun unlike previous games where the infected gameplay was basically just running at the survivors until one guy gets a little too cocky and gets himself killed.
Also I like the fact that you start off with so little ammo cause it's creates tensions as you have to decide whether to leave your position in search for ammo or other guns or maybe stay where you are and hope to pick up ammo from a fallen survivor.
Also you mentioned that you don't like infection because it is too "campy" and that it punishes solo player but that's how infection has always been. Infection has always been about sticking together and holding down positions. Just go on halo 3 or reach and try to play solo. You won't get far.
My main gripe with the camping in Infinite's version of Infection is that the camping spots are more clearly defined than they previously were and are borderline impenetrable when you get them fully locked down. That massive hallway on Behemoth is ridiculous, some of the rooms with only one entrance on Bazaar, etc. I can't think of any spots like that in Halo 3, Reach or 4's version of Infection. There were at least flanks that the infected could take. It feels like you're too safe in Infinite's infection. The only real concern to your survival is lack of ammo and your teammate's awareness.
@@LaperLarden In behemoth you can enter via a hole in the back so the goal is to bottleneck the survivors.
Also previous game did have cheap camping spots like the underground rooms in isolation or the spawn rooms in foundry in halo 3
Been a halo fan since Halo 2 when I first played it when I was like 6. I have a large portion of the novel. I played Halo 5 months, even years after it's launch. I have some collectibles. Halo has been a huge part of my life and the last time I played a match in Halo Infinite was 3 months after launch. I haven't played the game since even with all these new updates because I've basically been driven to the point where I don't care about the games whatsoever anymore. It's a little heartbreaking since Halo has been a huge part of my life and my childhood.
That opening bit is weirdly fitting
Pretty sure I learned the term "Embarrassment of riches" from a tip in Halo that went over dropping weapons.
The Quantum translocator is definitely not a get out of jail card, and if your using it that way your using it wrong. It can give you multiple lines of sight, if a sniper had a translocator they basically have two lines of sight. I was able to use it to capture two points at once in landgrab, i dont know if you know this but the translocator places a portal every time you use it. try pressing the teleport key more than once or twice
And plus the enemies can track back where you went with the trails.. so they can see where your current location
Judging by all the clips I see of it, it definitely is. Doesn't matter if you can use it for cooler things when a get out of jail free card is what 90% of people are going to be using it for, just like armor lock.
All I’m hearing is how OP this is. They need to nerf it.
If they want the infected to have equipment then they need to make them slower. They are super fast and on smaller maps like aquarias it's way too in favor of the infected.
Also it's way more intense when you can see all the infected slowly going your way as you try to headshot all of them.
I think keeping them fast in the start is good and only alphas can have the abilities, but as more and more players become infected, they get slightly slower and slower.
Respectfully disagree
i just want halo to be back on top again. those first few weeks of infinite's launch were immaculate, it actually showed microsoft and 343 that people still love the franchise. yet, they're still running it into the ground.
i'll still keep playing infinite, albeit with all of its issues, i genuinely still enjoy the game. but 343 either gotta step up their game, or switch devs with certain affinity, at least they had an inking of what halo is supposed to be
For me it is, but only because I dick around in customs with my friend. The new infection is fantastic with bots, especially since when I'm the Alpha I can scare the everliving lights out of my friend.
To be fair with the quantum translocator, I feel like it’s only mostly annoying in infection because so many zombies have it and spawn with it
In regular PvP it’s essentially a power weapon, with limited uses
Active camo would absolutly be flamed if it were added into Halo for the first time with Infinite
Same with overshield, even rockets which is essentially just free kills
I’m fine with it, definitely not as bad as armour lock because that literally stopped the game for 5 seconds and had an abusable emp, the melee out and back into Lock then out to melee again
Plus the fact that anyone could spawn with them and it recharged infinitely
20 minutes, I couldve answered this in 30 seconds, Its worth it, if you like cheaters, low player turnout and playing the same maps and game modes over and over again.
It's the literal definition of insanity.
You know maps get rotated....

@@Bmsol531 I mean why play rank when thier rank team slayer doesn't have a good starting weapon? Wait for them to patch it than play it. Ranked players are after this update gave thier critisim about this update and tbh team slayer not quite fun yet.
I agree with a lot but I think you're using the Quantum Translocator wrong
it can be a get out of battle free card... for noobs
it can actually lead to some pretty good take downs with a way for the opposition to counter it, charge up, set a portal, aim yourself in the right direction then portal back to get the kill
either get the kill or portal back to someone who spots your portal and camps the spot with a Rocket Launcher to boot right up your a-
It's irrelevant if it "can be used for cool stuff." Armour lock can also be used for "cool stuff," but that's irrelevant when most people will use it for a "get out of jail free card"
@@Priception It's called 'skill gap', bud. Has been a thing since Halo 3's equipment. You can make the same complaints about things like the bubble shield, power drain, and portable grav lift. It doesn't change the fact that the Quantum Translocator is going to be used differently depending on the player's skill. High skill players will very likely smoke you with it while low skill players will just frustrate you
@alexfrost2799 The part you're forgetting and what the video actually talked about was how overpowered the teleporter is.
No matter how skilled you are. There is no way for a "skilled player" to be able to counter a person teleporting halfway across the map when they're about to lose a fight.
The issue with the teleporter is the same issue as armour lock. It's easy to use and it doesn't take much skill to use.
@@Priception except the difference with the qt and armour lock is that everyone started off with the armour lock in Reach, you have to obtain the qt in infinite which has the same spawn times as Overshield and Active Camo, meaning only one person can have it at a time in 4v4,and it only spawns like 3 times per match. It really isnt as frustrating as you are making it out to be lmao
@@Priception you are completely forgetting that when someone uses the quantum locator, there is a trail showing exactly which direction they went. It's not hard to read unless you just don't put any effort into it. And Dude I got food is right. You'll see this power-up far less frequently than grappleshots or thrusters, so it should be better anyway. Quantum locator falls into the category of power-up, not equipment.
Time to hop on halo season 5
Fire Fight has been heavily rumored to drop next Season, if that doesn’t bring in a much needed population boost then I don’t know what will.
Actually, post campaign support probably would but let’s be real, Microsoft won’t give 343i the manpower for that.
Very unlikely for campaign updates at this point. Firefight would be great though!

This has to be the most relatable halo TH-camr ever, pls 343 fix your game. They title the season after infection and it doesn’t even work properly in customs lmao.
Threat Seeker was made as a competitive "Ranked" version of the threat sensor. that's why it was released alongside the quantum translocator. Pretty sure we'll only see one equipment per season
Exactly. It was never supposed to be a big impressive addition, just a nice little bonus
For the empty Infection population, I'm from France and had the same issue literally the next day of the release... like bro... nobody's playing...
I find matches easy in the UK 🇬🇧
I mean why would they play infinite when they have 1 2 3 ODST and reach
Infinite finally feels like it’s launched with S4, Infection is great and the career ranking really makes a difference. And the new maps are some of the best in the game! I’m just happy we’re in a spot where upcoming seasons will have fresh NEW content instead of just adding stuff that should have been in there at launch.
I was fully under the impression that the heatwave was going to be used for infection given it has the same reloading properties as the classic shotgun but ah I guess not. Also I'll defend the QT in that you only get to cheat positioning, after having taken it from the middle of the map, so unlike armor lock it's something that's earned, and the counterplay is more interesting too since everyone can see the portal in which you came from
And luckily you don’t have I frames, so even if you cheesed out of a fight, one too many shots and you could kill that person, even then? You can see where they go from that portal with a little trail leading towards the direction they’re in, so it’s actually a really great addition, my only problem with the newest content is that they give alphas invisibility, get rid of that and make infection tailored maps, and this game mode would be the best it’s ever been.
@@void-master9077I strongly disagree, the QT needs to be nerfed. Really skilled players can cheese the hell out of opponents with it. I suggest a one time use, have the teleport position be destroyable and highlighted for enemy players, when ready and active it should be very obvious to opponents to see (eg. having a certain glowing color on the Spartan), have limited distance from teleportation in order to use, have limited time to use, and when ready and active it should take away your shields.
Basically make it like duel wielding where it isn’t necessary and might put the user at a disadvantage but still fun to use.
I'm a PvE player, but there's still no new content, and the half campaign we got isn't enough to bring me back. Above that, 343I flooded the game with out of place cosmetics, they fucked up the lore beyond repair (save for a complete retcon of the last decade) and they clearly won't go back to the classic gameplay. Add to that a thousand of little detail that are off. I'm not going back to Halo as long as it's under 343I. But I'll keep playing the originals.
Ok bye

Surprisingly, I like the Quantum Translocator, just took me a while to get used to it, and I do enjoy this variation of Infection but I really want to see an Alpha Zombies mode, with just shotty and sidekick, no extra equipment. Anyway bro it felt good to be watching one of your vids again. You always make killer Halo content! When Firefight releases (should be S5) you, ShreddedNerd and I need to squad up, I reckon it'd be a good time :)
I've come around on the translocator after messing around with it some more in Infection. Using the inertia from one jump, to fly through another portal and catch someone off guard is a lot of fun! And absolutely! If Firefight is out in S5, I think a playthrough with the Aus gang is going to be necessary.
Overall it’s a great season. Finally added Career rank which was desperately needed, and infection. I’ve been having fun with it. It is kinda discouraging seeing the game has such a low population though.
I feel like OG season 1 players of Halo infinite should get a really nice armor coating for playing the game for so long
I dont know its not too much to keep track on. I find it fairly easy. Both infected and Spartans have a good chance to win. Reach was always so unfun for starting as infected and camping was always present.

I love the new BTB map. Best for the warthog. Hog sucks on all the open maps where you get power weaponed the second you drive out.
I know halo as a brand isn’t in the best spot but can we admit that we as a community are very much glass half empty. I just wish we could be more encouraging and supportive, because if I was a brand new player and heard all this I wouldn’t bother trying the game and as a stand alone game right now it’s pretty damn decent
I agree
The lack of customization in custom games infection reminds me of a story from a year ago. I had made plans for an MCC customs night with my friends. We were gonna play some classics and new games the community had made. I had wanted to include some from Halo 4 as that was the game I started to fall off from the franchise. I even went as far as to make a map for it based on Halo 3 Predator. I spent the week leading up to working on the map in my spare time, was proud of it, and went to finish the game type. Turns out, Halo 4 infection can not use weapons other than the energy sword. I just don't understand how it had less features than Halo 3.
Bro you can literally have ai units in custom games and people have already made amazing maps with that feature not to mention there's a reason to place custom games as you can get XP from it.
I stop playing Halo Infinite on the Winter Update..But been back recently I’ve been enjoying season4 a lot.
Not hating on season 4 but still I just don't like most of the weapons. I always feel like I'm using the same 2-3 guns cause most of them are just not fun. Imo they're too precision based.
laper delivers as always. while I think the season is okay, "too little too late" is unfortunately an accurate description for the game. at this point, I'm holding out (lol) for firefight
I have to admit. The "should have been there at launch" complaints are getting OLD. A year and a half of complaining about no progression system. Fair. Understandable. The progression system finally drops and we are STILL prattling on about how it wasn't available at launch? Did we want the progression system or not? What's the point of asking for it if you knew you wouldn't be satisfied when it was actually delivered? I get the frustration with the wait, I really do. It's just exhausting seeing that point trotted out for the millionth time even after we received what we asked for.
Also, I disagree on the retroactive rank acquisition. We waited a year and half for this progression system, why would I want to skip a large chunk of that content? Imagine you played 1000 hours of Infinite before S4 dropped, the whole time wishing there was a progression system. Then the system is finally added to the game and you only get to experience 65% of it because you automatically skip 40+ ranks. I imagine you would feel cheated. For all intents and purposes, you received less than 3/4 of the promised progression system. While someone who just started playing Infinite, received 100% of that progression system. That sounds like the opposite of rewarding people who stuck with the game all these months.
Half of the allure of a progression system, at least to me, is the act of leveling up through each rank individually. Grinding; is that not the whole point of a progression system in the first place? Sitting for 5 minutes and watching my rank increase with no interaction the moment I boot the game up doesn't sound very enjoyable. I've experienced it before in other games, it is not fun. I understand the other side of the argument, personally, I would never want to do it that way.
The Alpha zombies make a really loud sound when they are near you, it is pretty easy to notice it.
The powerups also respawn after 30 seconds, so the best way to win is to stack the camo powerup instead of camping with other people, if you are the last man standing and you have camo activated, the zombies can't see you, so you automatically win.
Surely that's an unintended glitch? Being able to hit camo and not have the last Spartan standing target above your head seems like a pretty uneventful way to win.
@@LaperLarden I sure hope it is a glitch, it is extremely boring to win this way.
@@LaperLardenI think one of the infected have to spot you to have the thing above your head
For sure. The new settings tabs "legacy" zoom so you dont have to "unscope" from 10x. and the shield opacities made the game brand new to me. The shield is paper thin now its awesome. you use to have big crayon looking outlines on all the players which confused people because they looked like their shields were have busted at all times. you can turn that down now so all you see is an actual spartan until you crack its shield.
Wasn't aware that you could do that with shield opacities. I usually play with outlines on because it gives you a major visibility advantage. But maybe I'll try playing without it for once.
@@LaperLarden Give's a way more classic feel. When they first came out with the color schemes and how they don't change. I was majorily disappointed but now you can change it all to the classic yellow and then turn the opacity off so its not always glowing. Theres thickness too so you can adjust how powerful the shield pop is. It took me like 2 weeks to fiddle with it. I'm happy to turn off the team walling because I really don't need to see my teams shield glowing through them. lol
As someone living down under, Im always sceptical of getting into new multiplayer games because the player base usually dies pretty quick in our server region. As much as id love to finally get into Halo Infinite now that it has decent amount of content to get into, I don't see it as a good idea to hop in if there's going to be more time spent waiting for lobby to queue then actually playing the game, although I'll definitely stay updated to see if that ever changes.
would have really liked to see some sort of reward system for completing certain time consuming tasks where you get cosmetic rewards for completing. For example you got 1,000 head shot kills heres a cool sniper skin. Or stuff along those lines. Or if you hit max rank you get a special armor color.
Couple of things I didn't agree with. But ultimately I agree with the point you're making. S4 really isn't giving us much new.
This is a very unbiased feeling halo video, it feels like a lot of videos are either a hate feet for clickbait or “LE KING IS BACK” every single time anything gets added.
This video nails the feel of the tired apathy that infinite gives off
I don’t mind the new season but I can’t get excited for things that should of been there day 1.
But I have mixed feelings about infection I think some of the changes are cool but other I question. I actually like the looting around the map for weapons but i think they should of just given you the bulldog start of the game. having the commando and full 120 cap from one ammunition box can be kinda op on certain maps like behemoth. Also some maps just don’t work in infection like chasm where you can just take the high points on the map and just camp there all game. I do think that the infection should be able to use Fusion coils for balance out the game. And I not to bothered about the 30 seconds for last standing given the infection move a lot faster now. But invisible power up is broken in the game mode for the last stand.
The new btb map is okay only played the map twice. New equipment is boring tho and I’m not to upset about the teleport one given its a power up like overshield and activate camo and doesn’t show up that much in my matches.
But all in all this is mid for me didn’t get too hyped for this season.
You HAVE the bulldog at the start. What are you on about?
@@ninebreaker2009I mean just the bulldog no secondary weapons so in encourages looking for other weapons because even the commando on some maps like behemoth all you need is the commando full ammo and you have a high chance of winning the round
Simple answer if you're new to Halo yes. If you're old to the Halo franchise and Halo infinite it still feels like a chore to play and I personally still prefer Reach customization, how to obtain gear *[ fuck season and the cash shop, but heeey players would buy regardless so it doesn't matter ]* I miss being able to play as an Elite and have Elite customization in Halo 3. I wish invasion was in the game, firefight or a sparten ops mode maybe both.
Challenges are still cancer for how annoying it is just so I can get a color or armor piece which is stupid.
This season made me uninstall between the dead spartan customization to desynch, team balaancing, weapn/vehicle balancing, and the various other glitches juat made me sick of playing. Social is literally sweats that use the wasp to rack up 30 kills cause the rocket launcher doesn't lock on and the rocket hog is weak.
Idk why everyone dunks on Halo 4’s armor. I mean I understand the artstyle change, but that’s like a bigger issue that the armor falls into. The armor itself in Halo 4 seems pretty cool.
343 should put some resources into heavily campaigning Infinite on social media. Run ads, pay big streamers to play it, have a little contest regularly, etc. I think it's a really good game and there's no other arena multiplayer game that is similar right now, aside from the MCC. Crazy killstreak clips from btb being shown to everybody as ads, including crazy vehicle plays, and highlighting that the game is free, and clearly pointing out the differences between this game and others with a low ttk, has to attract more players.
The new equipment increases the skill gap, just watch hcs 1v1s and youll see it adds on like 3 layers of thinking to each engagement
What we have now would be great as a VARIANT in the Infection playlist, not as the entire thing.
The alphas having camo, shroud, and sliding stupidly fast is overpowered.
The update broke my infection scripts so I had to replace with official on my Halo 3 L4D remake. I swapped commando for sidekick, made it work as best I could. My night variant is made to obscure zombies already, so the inability to disable camo ruins it.
I just came here from trying to do customs. Hosting Infection sucks. You can't join lobbies, so you have to start a game. Yet when you start Infection, there's only one person so the mandatory countdown timer starts. People don't want to wait through this. I can't get more than 3 people at a time after an hour. Halo 3 I can fill a lobby in literally 5 min or less every time on the same map/mode.
Apart from playable elites and brutes, i want to be able to set a unique stance, weapon and vehicle colours so that they all match if i want to change armour cores
The translocator is fine cuz it takes the place of a power up so it’s pretty rare and is tricky to use properly
Quit December 2021, just reinstalled July 30th 2023 and so far I am loving it. Great casual shooter to hop on for just a late night gaming sesh
I still like and play Infinite. Don't break my legs.
You legs will remain unbroken. But we might go for your kneecaps.
there actually gave the yoroi armor core new cosmetic. there are two new Tenrai events again this season + whatever stuff they're putting in the store.
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Season 4 looks like its another step-up overall. I never cared for Infection whatsoever, similar to most free-for-all modes in other games, since I’m never really 1st place anyway. Even if Halo Infinite still needs a lot of work, it’s getting there. Look at Overwatch, that’s not gonna last long with their current situation. And I heard there recently that the hiring freeze over at Microsoft is finished, so we could get more peeps to help work on Halo Infinite overall again, AS LONG AS THERE IS NO BATTLE-ROYALE!
I’m probs one of the very few peeps that’s still positive about Halo Infinite, so to anyone that’s gonna swarm my comment, there’s a nice Chopper with your name on it you can ram yourself into, head first.
So, yes, Halo Infinite, despite its issues at the moment, is still worth playing in 2023. Why would you bother with Overwatch after what happened?
Thank you for reading. ;)
I think the population problem might be on your end, I live in the United States, and I find matches very quickly, there’s lots of people on the customs browser too!
In regards to infection, I hope they add new game modes to the playlist(also a veto or voting option would be nice, which is an understatement)
Maybe survivors have a Heatwave and Mangler
Or a Bulldog and and Mangler/Sidekick in one mode, maybe zombies have shields but they are lower strength as to not make them too hard to kill
And then give the Spartan more ammo too
(Oh and the infected would have no equipment or a single use thrust or something maybe in this mode)
And hopefully forge creators can make maps that are a bit more tailor made for infection
Or maybe infection classic
@@spartan_soder117 no it's better this way.
@@spartan_soder117that’s kind of essentially what I was getting at
Can't hurt to have variety! I like the idea of an Infection Classic mode, for sure.
I actually like the skewer in infection, it's a more rare use case, but if you're in a hallway, you can pierce a good 4-5 people at once if you get really lucky
Everyone has their own opinion ofc but for me the translocator is fun as hell, maybe even the best equipment I've used in a halo game next to the jetpack and the grapple! Obviously it's OP so 343 was smart to make it a "power up" as opposed to the more common equipment pickups. I love this equipment and the visual fx on it are very pretty!
The threat seeker was added to be a less oppressive version of the threat sensor specifically for competetive and the quantum translocator is as powerful as it is because it fills the role of a power equipment (active camo and oversheild) not a regular equipment (drop wall thruster etc)
I do understand a lot of people’s disappointment with this game. But I am glad that I still like this game. This game has always been fun to me since it launched with its base gameplay and I hope that infinite can reach a point where it can bring back its players.
Unless halo infinite has a free or very cheap dlc for the campaign to actually bring people back to the game I can say with almost 100% certainty that no one who has stopped playing Multiplayer is going to come back to the game.
Vast majority of people aren’t forge map makers, the quality and speed of release and most of the player base is gone making games custom or official nearly impossible to find.
They’ve burned away the goodwill of the larger community and no matter how many seasonal passes they do or armor sets they aren’t coming back.
100% agree, the only reason I am still following halo infinite is for a possible campaign dlc
Correct me if I am wrong but has Infection always been like this, like you staying in a group, and if you go out of that group you die, and the Infected always winning
I’ve played since flighting, only had fun the first month of release and then I wasn’t having fun. 2 years and I still don’t see this as a finished game, Machinima tools are practically borked, Theatre is borked and Forge (at least for me) is also broken. I want a green colour on a wall? Too bad, it’s red now. Sometimes it just crashes instead.
I simply can’t have fun with this and I’ve seen myself slowly fall back to MCC, even with this new season.
I like this infection because it is a risk and reward as a survivor to go out and get more ammo and better weapons, it may not work with the current maps because of their size but could be better in forge
No, unfortenutely it is not worth playing due to horrible desync and other issues. Just tried playing team slayer, what an unbelievable shit show. Some power weapons don't work or a rocket launcher that just shoots through players, shots don't register and other issues. But that seems to be the norm in this game, especially if you're outside of the US. I could go on, but after 3 times I just left as usual. The only time desync decreases is in the middle of the night, it's disgusting.
Definitely agree with the translocator. Doesn't feel like it belongs in Halo and they could have done so many other things that would have added a lot more value and creativity to the sandbox. Would have loved holograms to return indeed for example. I just don't understand how a career rank took this long and it is this shallow. It's insane to me how well Bungie thoughout their features in Reach in comparison.
One thing I've learnt about 343s trilogy, they can take a sure success and fumble it, hard. They could take an auto-win with the community by adding BTB CTF blood gulch and somehow fuck it up. It's simply beautiful to watch.
Regardless of how people are feeling about the multiplayer and infection, I've been having an absolute blast with Forge. Sure, it's a bit obtuse at first glance, but the depth and variety of what you can do is very impressive.
A lot of the time i wonder if i'm the only one who just goes "unga bunga gameplay fun, do challenges, nice, done" There's so much little details people care about and when these things are added or fixed they don't affect me anyway.
The boys don't play halo anymore so i don't treat halo like the old games now, so i just play it for fun and to pass some time.
Definitely need better social stuff and custom matchmaking to join a random gametype of choice.
I've been playing halo since CE on the original xbox, and I can't play the older halo games anymore. I have them all on MCC and it's just nostalgia, i genuinely find in terms of todays gameplay, infinite is the best halo for me. Casually, i think the game is doing alright, and i'm glad it's getting better.
We seem to forget they have lack of people working on the game now, and they're only just able to start hiring again, under the new leadership i have high hopes that maybe they'll add something that'll finally affect my casual day to day play.
I preordered infinite like the next guy, i stopped playing for 1-2 years because it didn't feel good to play, i returned this year and it's been great. But again, i'm super casual compared to content creators so i can at least understand why you lads have a lot to pick out.
Thanks for the video! Watched to the end, good stuff.
It absolutely blows my damn mind that people are STILL holding out hope for a dead franchise. I knew back when Halo 4 dropped that it was over when they couldn't take a massive cash cow and run with it and drop the ball so hard on their very first game. It truly was Amazing to see amd yet in 2023 people are still like, nah guys theyll get their shit together lmfao.
Honestly though, the real problem is that everything just feels like “hey guys we released this thing that should’ve been in at launch, but it’s actually worse than how it used to be. Oh and here’s like 2 maps.” It’s just kinda…underwhelming, and disappointing. Not enough to drive any of the old fans back. Just leaves the new fans left to enjoy their niche game
If you've ever played Destiny 2 pvp, you'd be so goddamn happy to have 2 new maps lol
How's infection worse?
The progression system I agree is worse, but infection is far better, I never liked the mode, tried it today and actually had fun both as a survivor and as an infected
@@deathshot2101the /gamemode itself isnt but custom games are unbelievably scuffed. One thing I sweat in the only person who has noticed this that makes me mad is the abysmally low ammo MAX you can have in custom games. You can only have 15 rounds max no matter what gun you have which sure is alright for guns like the bulldog but then its literally only 5 shots on say the BR. That's awful.
@@phanto6599 ok I answered you under your comment.
Last time i played Halo infinite i stopped bcus of life, i started playing jrpg switch games and ive been stuck playing them. Low key though, ive been getting the it h to play Halo Infinite, im one of the people who got the game early and enjoyed it always.💯
I just started playing again a few days ago, haven't played since release week. Only issue I've been having is finding ranked takes a few minutes sometimes longer. But been having fun!
its just more of the same, the game doesn't feel fresh and plays exactly the same after a year. So, no. Personally think this version of infection is a lot fairer for the infected, its just boring after a while
So basically 343i took over a year to get something as simple as infection into the game and they still can't get it right? Andy - Bunker Dweller was right when he said Halo Infinite was the hilarious punchline to a decade long joke.
How'd I know you'd use the "switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading" scene 😂
Edit:
Something I'd wish 343 would do is add all the weapons from previous Halo titles. There's no reason mods on MCC can port dmrs, brute plasma rifles and the like to Halo 3 but Infinite can't
Yeah I would love that and for guns like the SMG/silenced SMG, Brute Shot, classic shotgun, etc to be brought back
And hopefully they bring back the Falcon! Maybe some other vehicles too, maybe the elephant as much as it’s a troll kind of vehicle I’d love it 😂
@ItsSegggy it's just a shame because there is so much content from older games they can pull from to satisfy us while we wait for newer things but they just won't do it. And I genuinely do not understand why. They brought back the og dmr.... why not some other stuff too?
@@intuitionedits2.032 Because it's really not as easy as you think. Please, go ahead and port ALLLLL that stuff to the and see how long it takes for you to not get bombarded with death threats about weapon and sandbox balancing. Go on, tell me how much better you know game development.
@ninebreaker2009 where did I ever claim it was easy? My point was if the community can make all this amazing content with MCC mod tools, then what the hell is 343's excuse? And need I remind you:
1) 343 had six years to make Halo Infinite, so wtf were they doing that entire time for us to get so little in the way of not just overall content, but also weapon variety?
2) they have absolutely no excuse because they HAVE ACCESS TO THE SOURCE CODES OF OLDER GAMES. How tf do you think MCC was made?
My biggest gripe with 343 and Microsoft right now is how dismissive they are of classic halo fans.
Okay, let’s say 343 is happy to make enhanced movement, MLG pro gaming, fast paced halo as the primary core of the franchise. Okay, fine. I don’t like it but whatever.
But now classic halo style fans have nothing new to enjoy. We are just stuck playing MCC for all time.
I wish they would make an ODST 2, where the movement and gameplay is all classic and now enhanced mobility or gimmicks. Just a new simple classic style games the fans of the older games can enjoy. But we will never see that in a million years. So it’s just demoralising for older fans who don’t like the new gimmicks
Is firefight and forge AI is enough is bring you back?
No. I would need co-op campaign (my wife and I can’t play together until that is added) I would want invasion, I would want a working theatre mode, I want playable elites, I want customisable colours, I want a reach style UI (the UI for infinite is terrible to navigate, perhaps one of the worst I have ever seen, even Halo 5 had a better UI).
I also want the Hornet/Falcon back, I want classic weapons back (not possible for all of them considering how different the sandbox is) I want a visible player counter, I want dual wielding, I want the jet pack and bubble shield back (not as armour abilities but as equipment, these are very fun for custom games) and I want to get rid of armour cores. These aren’t unreasonable requests as they were all present in past entries.
It is unlikely any of these will be added but if they are I will gladly return to infinite.
That said, I still have nowhere to go for classic movement and gameplay besides the MCC. And it’s not really fair to old fans to keep them playing the same decade old games over and over and not give them a new alternative for the classic gameplay they like.
@@lilbubz2803 they're hiring again, so most of your wishes maybe fulfilled in s5. That's sweet of you to want to share halo experience with loved ones.
I disagree with classic weapons bc in infinite they're far better not mention we have better counter parts to classics like stalker rifle > carbine
And for advance movement, that's called innovation, it's more frequent to a melee kill in this game than pervious entries.
odst 2 (with the rookie in an ideal world, but) would be a massive W... assuming they did it well. unfortunately, 343 has this habit of doing something good with their games while everything else suffers
I think with the transporter it could still be a cool trump card if they make it so that your teleport point makes like an audible ping or some way for the enemy team to locate it (not too easily) so it has an actual counter to it instead of the enemy team having to hope one of them stumbles upon it randomly before you decide to use it. Idk just my idea for balancing if they decide to implement it
i'm going to be honest here. i struggled to find a based take here. infection on infinite is actually the best iteration of the game mode i have played and thats awesome. new maps are fire 🔥 and overall the sentiment of the game is becoming more better kuz of this season. i will say being on EST i always find matches right away so i do sympathize with aussies on that. honestly dont know how ya do it.
Halo fan since 2002. I really enjoyed Infinite for it's first few months, and the reasons I stopped playing are the same reasons I haven't resumed playing - the SBMM, the desynch and the speed of the game.
Simply put, the game's too fast for me. I don't enjoy being cross-mapped by the sidekick before I can get to cover that is only 10m away from me. But also learning all the movement combos (sprint, slide, crouch when landing from a jump to keep momentum) whilst fun when I first started, overall these characteristics just make for a game that is constantly sweaty. And I'm not always in the mood for sweaty.
And now that I've taken a break from the game I can't be bothered relearning all that for a game that I know I'll get over in a couple months again.
And the SBMM was bizarre. I'd practice on my own with other players and do well (top or 2nd on the scoreboard) while trialling different techniques, but then when I'd join in my bro's games (he's better than me) I'd get slaughtered. I've never had this with any other game.
Good video, although I disagree on many things. Mainly that the changes to infection were necessary to keep it fresh and make up for Infinite’s mechanics and that Halo doesn’t need interactive elements in its multiplayer maps; they are gimmicky and quickly forgotten (like the gate on high ground)
As a person who wanted to stay with this game, it’s getting hard, I’ve been playing squad
Until they fix the god awful TAA, let us turn it off, or add dlss, I can't stand to play it no matter what they add. It's just so blurry in motion it makes me nauseous
What's TAA and DLSS?
@@SuperGoose42 TAA is a form of anti aliasing. It aims to smooth over pixelated edges by using data from previous frames. If it's not set up right, when you move the image becomes very soft and a lot of detail is lost.
Infinite has a sharpening filter to counter this but it just over sharpens a blurry image and looks muddy and horrible.
DLSS is a PC feature, though FSR would be the equivalent for consoles and other PCs. It's an alternative to TAA that still uses data from past frames but is a lot more advanced and has very few issues with image quality. It's so good that it's marketed on rendering at lower resolutions and still resulting in comparable quality, though if you render at the same resolution it's better in practically every respect and looks crystal clear.
You should try playing Infinite in 4K on the Xbox Series X in performance mode. Looks like playdough. You can't use smart link on weapons without looking like someone smeared aloh vera on your monitor.
@@LaperLarden you should try playing it at 720p. Sure, that's pretty low res but low spec gamers do it all the time and it should look good enough. I swear it looks like 144p
For the record, I play at 1440p so that's not why I can't stand it, it's just a good example of how bad it is
When has there "never" been a camping meta in infected? Every infection was people camping in a corner and hoping for the best. Unless im remembering reach and halo 4 differently.
In my opinion halo infinite is only as fun as what you put into it. If you don't try and loose every game then yea no but if your trying and getting into thoes games where it's neck and neck or you u just win a lot. You have more fun forsure and is very rewarding.
If they did the battle pass Halo wars themed while doing fire fight at the same time, just watch how ducking crazy that shot would look
As some who's been playing thus game since the first flight test starting from 0 on the career mode felt like a slap on the face
bro the translocator is literally not armor lock at all. At least not to me. I use it to take on multiple opponents at once, heal, and then get back into fights. armor lock was a dead stop. the translocator is a skill issue. if you use it passively like you say, then you get nowhere, but using it to double your offensive, then you get things done. it's basically a locational overshield
1. Love this channel
2. Its sad to see halo going through this as it was a game I wasn’t able to play up until recently but getting into it doesn’t seem worth it
this was a good video and i feel like people should stop asking if a game is worth playing for as long as the seasonal battle-pass trend exists.
Agreed
Ive played about 700 hrs and dont mind starting in the beginning of ghe progression system. Ive also never had any trouble finding games here in the US.
At this point im just glad its (kinda) back. I suck at pvp, so this is fun for me, as there really is no losing this mode
Bro you nailed infection and how i feel to a tee.
The fact you are limited on custom infection, no ability for Fat Kid
The fact zombies just over the top OP.
I disagree with your infection take,
Bc infection now takes actual skill for both sides to compete with each other which ultimately make this game mode fun.
Look at pervious versions, you had to camp somewhere until slow zombies catch you which you know its impossible, its chill for the first time but its boring in other times.
Infection in infinite + forge maps = has insane palyabality which make this game mode best in the franchise bc its fun now to infected without hurting survivor expiernce. So what do you think?
Although i do agree lack of pump action shougun very much make this game mode dissapointing for casuals BUT there is db shoutgun coming next season which fix this issue.
