Here's my review of the update, as I said Skeleton crew working on Infinite so its to be expected. What I will say is where was all of this when Infinite was in full swing. 8v8 BTB Assault is fun though, definitely give that a try.
😭 Why is nobody like no one, talking about the fact xbox has collabed with team ninja and along with that, it could and should be a path for Hybusa and Katana to return to Halo. Not sure about infinit but it could be awesome for the next game. 🙏
Just thought I'd ask if you saw the new death effect cosmetic in the store, it has 3D death animations of a helmet falling on the spartan and its like a new animation (not the spartan itself) like moving objects, they couldn't do that if they don't have an animator right!?
And it makes players rush and worry whether or not they'll get the pass. I've been there before where I had to grind the XP points till rank 100. It's tiring
Medium step backwards, anyway. I can make up my mind whether I want 3 sets for $10 USD given a month to look at them, but there was no good reason for this. I can't see they'll be making very much money at all off of putting those three in the store later for each being more money than the pass itself.
I'm still annoyed that this game, which had, and still has, so much potential, is being hanged dry by Microsoft. It just feels like they are trying to kill Halo. This is reenforced by the fact that Microsoft is turning down collabs that literally EVERYONE wants to see. I'm disappointed, but not surprised.
Halo infinite has and had potential but the slipspace engine that is used of r halo infinite does not have potential. So this is probably just them trying to squeeze out as much money till the next game but it’s just lame how they go back on their promises over and over
Yeah man does suck considering infinite isn't a bad game right now but dropped the ball big time. Honestly don't have high hopes for halo to much anymore but I'll keep playing and hoping I'm proved wrong
and at the same time Microsoft is restricting spin off or colab opportunities for Halo. I feel like its because they know Halo Infinite needs to survive long enough before the next big game releases.
@@mrjack3855 Guess effects artists and 3D modelers are worth it though right for the shop? Just not quality assurance or animators, you know only two important positions in an active profitable game product.
Yeah Invasion is not Invasion with no Elites. I would've come back to the game in a heartbeat if that were the case but we all know playable Elites are not happening at all.
Halo players in 2010: millions Halo players in 2025: thousands. I stopped buying them after H4. Everything has been downhill since 2012. I've played Guardians and Infinite, neither do it for me. I need a WHOLE experience, not some half organized cash grab.
For real and instead of trying to make the game better their going to try to sell it to Nintendo and Playstation. As a Halo fan since I was 6 I feel kinda betrayed.
Truth. 343 Has literally never stuck the landing in a single one of their releases and it's insane that Microsoft has allows them to remain the caretakers of the series. Damn shame,
@@CargoShorts7 probably because they do what Microsoft tells them without question. Game integrity is something 343 knows nothing about. If Microsoft is Ms. Finnster, 343 is Randle. Recess reference lol.
Dont know why they decided to switch to expirining battlepasses. If you try to make me feel FOMO, I will CTMO - Choose to miss out, and go play something else.
You have an entire month to purchase. If you can’t purchase it within a whole month that that’s your stupid issue. Once you purchase though it doesn’t expire. Understand now buddy boy?
@@mtmessmer I mean at least it had a world firing sound effect, don't know if you guys noticed but before the firefight update ages ago the shock rifle lost its world fire sound, so if someone next to you like your team mate or an nearby enemy fired it there would be no sounds, only sound from first person, they fixed it in last update which was something is wasn't sure was going to be fixed or not.
@MintBlitz ya know, I didn't think of it that way! Apologies if I came off as rude, it just pains me to see a community for something I love so much being so divided all the time.
@@ShedinnStudiosI get what you mean with like the change in artstlye for example going into Halo 4 and 5, some of the more weird and frustrating decisions and mistakes the community is right to point out though.
@@Spendingryan oh of course but I feel like they've been really harsh on infinite. Don't get me wrong I have my own problems with the game but it feels like not nearly as many as the rest of the community. Maybe it's because I got into halo late, starting with reach while halo 5 had just come out so while everyone was reeling from that mess I was just chilling enjoying the games for the first time. You can imagine my surprise when I played infinite, loved it, and found the community seemed to not feel the same way
@@ShedinnStudiosI'm an old school Halo veteran since the first one on the original Xbox and I highly enjoy Infinite. People complain about everything this day and age that I truly believe that if Bungie's Halos came out today they would absolutely find something negative to complain about them. So don't worry about the small minority with loud voices, and just enjoy what you love.
Honestly, the fuel rod spnkr was the nail in the coffin for me. My feeling was just: 'so this is it? this is where we are now?' We've come to a point where we can't even get back a long-standing Halo weapon, one that's actually in the game files in a mostly completed state, because Microsoft can't/won't even hire or assign one or two animators to 343's skeleton crew so they can bring a 90% done weapon to 100%. It's doubly sad because now that this gaudy knockoff is in the sandbox there's no longer a justifiable reason to bring back the real fuel rod gun.

Apparently we should be thankful they added anything at all lmao
The performance issues on Coliseum are almost certainly because they use the campaign version of Forerunner objects. I had to remove those from waterworks because that was what was causing that map to be so laggy for so many people. I finally solved it a while back, but that was right around when it got pulled from squad battle, so unfortunately not many people have played the newer version.
Thanks for mentioning me Mint! As I reported in my last video, the source did say the release month for invasion mode should still be accurate. But I didn’t receive confirmation for the other dates. I’ll provide an update once I know if they’re correct or not.
3 shot to kill shotgun just doesn't seem right in a Halo game, but I guess if they're adding the double barrel gravity shotgun soon, maybe that'll fill that gameplay spot
The gameplay was incomplete and because it literally never came out all at once most of my buddies and my brothers NEVER played. The gameplay was super fun but this game just felt like a beta the whole time. It still feels so empty
it took me a while but i see why mint is so accurate he uses precise movements instead of aiming at his targets which is so smart because that is one of the advantages of controller being the precise movements with a stick
Thanks for all you do for the game and the community dude. Always objective when talking about the game and throwing a hand out to assist to make this the best possible game it can be. Keep up the amazing work and i am sure they will add you to the crew for testing in no time!
So this is my view on this game. I had fun playing it. But I think its clear the devs have moved on to the next Halo project. Hopefully the next one sticks the landing and can generate the hype of Halo 3 type of levels. That time was wild.
halo 3 hype was earned. Both CE and 2 had excellent multiplayer that pushed boundaries, and campaigns that excited and hyped people to see how it ended.
Yeah me too, honestly would like to go back to the days of community ordering pizza deliveries for 343 industries, they did do a lot of stuff right with MCC (after they fixed it and put it on pc) and even with Infinites Forge AI, but some of these recent mistakes are just weird and frustrating.
Hey, are you aware of the miserable state that Halo 2 Anniversary’s campaign has been left in for over 3 years on Xbox? On my Series X, it will frequently crash and the performance in anniversary graphics is very poor, especially for a game that ran fine on the Xbox One a decade ago.
Adding to this, they broke water reflections of the earthcity beach, and delta halo lake temple, used to have beautiful screen space reflections of the temples and cliff edge, and yeah your right it ran on the 2014 Xbox One at 60 FPS.
Something new i found in Firefight is on the map forest. When the zone moves to the area next to the big tree, there is actually a new hill there that says, "Complete the mission" If you get 2 players in there you instantly win the match. Not sure if this is a bug because it seems too intentional but maybe it's for testing for that linear PvE mode or a more classic version of Firefight
The shock rifles hip fire assist was nerfed way too much for average turds. It's now extremely difficult to hit clean headshots with, especially with a crap ping. It's not a sniper but now they turned it into a crap version of the S7, only because top 1% of the players considered it too easy for THEIR hands. Should've cut the ammo capacity in half for ranked/HCS, not nerf tf out of it for every single player. Major L "tuning".
I thought the battle pass would only expire if you didn't buy it. So you can only buy it for this month but if you do buy it, it never expires Edit: I just checked Waypoint and I'm right, the only thing being lost in this new operation pass is the ability to buy it after it ends. For me this doesn't change anything since I never bought the passes to begin with.
@@jackcolson4745 No I didn’t realize. Never heard of the term before in my life. I’ve played halo for over 20 years but I’m not really interested in the competitive scene
love you mintblitz, im writing a halo story and i was hoping youd allow me to use your name in some way. youll be known as blitz-919, it wont be you bein op just me allowing a super fan live in a fan story that i have been working on for some time. i hope you dont mind and i love what you do for the halo community
I guess we shouldn't complain about Quality Assurance, or quality in general as the team is too small they don't have time for it along with animators or animations.
I don't even play halo that much anymore, but I'm amazed at your dedication to save a once beloved franchise by the masses. Keep fighting the good fight, amigo!
3:20 is the most Mint Blitz shit I can think of. “I can’t hit you with these rockets, lemme just headshot you point blank with the most difficult weapon thin the game” 😂
After the premium pass expire it impossible get the 4th challenge slot when Blue team and Forerunner operation pass shows up due to the fact you can't buy them for 500cR
I'm enjoying the update, tbh. Yea the actual fuel rod would be way better, but the spanker variant plays well and fits nicely in the sandbox. Not to mention ranked squad battle is awesome. So I'm happy. Plus the new battle pass is totally worth it, 3 weapon models and 4 armor sets for less than $10. I'm satisfied
Yeah ngl I had very bad criticism about the Fuel Rod SPNKR, talking negative stuff about it, but when the update came out and I managed to get it a couple times in FireFight, I genuinely giggled and laugh like a gremlin using it. While it may not look like the OG Fuel Rod Cannon, it feels very good to use when you actually manage to get and use it. I say this update is a 9/10.
I don't really play infinite anymore, but I remember flavor text in various games about the fuel rod being lost technology or something, ONI was having a tough time recreating it. For it to be made into a UNSC weapon kinda settles a small plot point and is an interesting example of the melding of human and alien technology
@@jakespencer6781 True, I haven't like, played any multiplayer type modes, (I don't know if it's in BTB) but I usually don't play players vs players I mostly grind on firefight cause I suck at PvP modes, but when I used it in firefight, you have an insane advantage against higher ranked enemies and such, not to mention the bodies you rack with it, a chefs kiss. Plus I have blown myself up accidentally with it 10 times already lol. Kinda curious what it's like with players though
The thing about halo infinite compared to all the games in MCC is that i could replay campaigns for any of the bungie games, and then the next day be like that mission was fun the story was good i gotta play it again! In infinite, it's got a good storyline like it could've been worse, but once i completed the campaign, ive maybe played it with a friend once or twice.
I don’t know why, as it’s only a small change, but the shotgun nerf makes me sad. I loved using the bulldog when it was good, but now i don’t even feel like it’s worth picking up.
I like the update. Helmet attachments are gradually becoming crosscore, Diet Fuel Rod is fun, assault is good, and the return of Seasons is a nice change despite the issue of FOMO returning. Division is inevitable, that’s just how it is. Nothing Halo Studios does will change that. A simple name change will not wash away the mistakes of 343. Especially when Halo Studios repeats said mistakes.
Regarding the Battle Pass, I thought they said that it was just that the Battle Pass could only be purchased during the event period. I don’t remember them saying anything about expiring changes after it’s been purchased.
WHY TF IS THE PREORDER BONUS IN THE SHOP THE EXCHANGE IS ONLY SUPPOSED TO HAVE PREVIOUSLY RELEASED FREE ITEMS. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WAS THE HAUNTED HELMET.
They mentioned they'd be putting exclusive stuff that wasn't available back then (Like coatings or weapon skins that were from exclusive deals, like mountain dew for example) I believe pre-order bonuses are also included.
I think it's worth mentioning that in the games industry, QA usually finds most issues. Unfortunately, that does not mean they get fixed or that releases get delayed to fix them. It's pretty often in QA in the industry for us to say, hey, this is a big/notable issue, and for whatever reason a decision is made by those at a higher level to not address or prioritize it. QA often knows about the issues and reported them, which is all they can do. They just aren't then addressed.
The non-expiring battle passes was one of the good things about infinite. You can grind the free pass while it's active, and buy all the old passes whenever you want. Battle passes being permanent content is one of the best evolutions of the seasonal content trend in gaming, and they decided to backstep on it. Actually can't make ts up
Halo MCC is not higher than Halo Infinite’s most played section on Xbox atleast not in the US (Halo’s biggest population) in fact, Halo MCC isn’t even in the top 50 most played games on Xbox in US.
My guy, it was an honor to get destroyed by you a couple of days ago in Assault - and an even higher one to see it happen here in the B-roll of the video 😁😅
I’ve been playing halo since the beginning. I never missed a single halo game that dropped and played them even if it weren’t “good”. Infinite was the game that made me finally, give up. I’ve missed the last 2 operations purposely because I realized I’m forcing myself to get them to the max level without enjoying it. What’s a game if you don’t enjoy it? It’s sad to say but halo has lost its identity and replaced with false hype
Honestly I’m just focused on the game modes and gameplay, I have to really tune out the shop stuff and battlepass. Because at its core and the content offered, Halo Infinite is a great multiplayer game to chill out on
Have you checked who all are incharge of the next halo games ? The studio devs ? The game writiers ? The staff leads ? The next game is going to be very painful to play
Hey man! Good video! After watching I have two questions. 1: how many games have been confirmed they are currently working on. 2: how big is the current team signed to infinite?
Its really sucks Frontline Operation that tier 21-50 are locked behind a paywall for this season .. like don't they already get more money from bundles already. The modes are nice to have back and also liking the new setup. But thats all I can say for this season.
Yet the prime problem with jiggle peaking is when the connection of pc to console is applied and a keyboard is being used. Sadly I doubt it changed it but merely hindered console strafing. Be great to see an attempt to change the instant turret and vehicle rotations on mouse aswell
what is even the direction of halo we been threw bs had hope and more bs it's just over honestly it's either the ip is sold to someone better or we move
Small thing I noticed is Jeff Steitzer’s voice lines in Assault are very very Halo Reach-esque.. anymore information on that? It’s the only reason I played more than 2 matches
How fucked is it that Halo Studios (still 343) are asking Forgers to make maps, but say their maps arent considered "content" so they arent entitled to monetary compensation? That's bullshit, and a good reason NOT to play anything from those developers. Oh, but they have plently of time to make armor for the shop...right...
BRO I fought you in a match the other day you flew at me in the air like batman I straight up died and went "damn how the hell he up in the air like that"
As sad as it is to see halo in this state. I somehow believe the art team know what we want considering how well done the “soldier” or “Didact” armor looks. It doesn’t look human and I definitely want atleast 3 playable species in halo 7. That being brutes elites and Spartans
Literally the only reason why I don't play Halo Infinite much anymore is just because I literally can't find games anymore. If I could still find games in like my staple playlists like Quick Play, Infection, and Husky Raid, I would keep playing to this day regardless of its plin plin plon.
343i / Halo Studios alienated fans with their shoddy Halo 4 and Halo 5 releases. The few fans they made from those games were alienated with the release of Infinite and the abandonment of the 4/5 storyline. Now the very little Infinite fans are being burned by how they quickly abandoned their "10 year plan". 343i alienation record Halo 4 & 5 - alienated Halo fans Infinite - alienated Halo 4/5 fans Halo Studios - alienated Infinite fans by abandoning the "10 year plan" I'm thankful I can still play and enjoy classic Halo that still has a large and active community. I'll be playing Halo VR on my channel with MODs if anyone is interested. I have install guides also so you can play too!
You’re mistaken about the strafing changes. It decreased strafing acceleration, the inertia is the same as before. It’s better but having inertia like past games would be best
Here's my review of the update, as I said Skeleton crew working on Infinite so its to be expected.

assault is my new fav game mode
@MintBlitz
Seen some videos from Halo3 "new covenant"
Maybe if you're trying out some mod content you should give that a go
There would be a lot to talk about but I’ll focus on this: Expiring battlepass is a major step back
It's been a thing since the introduction of operations.
And it makes players rush and worry whether or not they'll get the pass. I've been there before where I had to grind the XP points till rank 100. It's tiring
You have a month to spend 10 bucks. You can’t buy it then you shouldn’t be worried about it
It isnt. But the time where you can buy it expires. Why you guys care so much? Most of us dont stop playing a halo for a month so its not our problem.
Medium step backwards, anyway. I can make up my mind whether I want 3 sets for $10 USD given a month to look at them, but there was no good reason for this. I can't see they'll be making very much money at all off of putting those three in the store later for each being more money than the pass itself.

@@jackcolson4745 No I didn’t realize. Never heard of the term before in my life. I’ve played halo for over 20 years but I’m not really interested in the competitive scene
I mean for God's sake they sell a $20 master chief skin from Halo 2 and can't even get the fucking colors correct? This is a fucking joke you guys.
love you mintblitz, im writing a halo story and i was hoping youd allow me to use your name in some way. youll be known as blitz-919, it wont be you bein op just me allowing a super fan live in a fan story that i have been working on for some time. i hope you dont mind and i love what you do for the halo community
haha go for it :)
Halo studios hired the concord director. It’s over
Yup, I refuse to support them in anyway.
Yep. Last nail in the coffin. I'm done with them.
Is that true?
Sorry, f*cking what? The concord director?
*Activates energy sword*
to be fair it’s the director of marketing
the Zeta Sky in the exchange pisses me off.....pre-order bonuses should remain as that.
I guess we shouldn't complain about Quality Assurance, or quality in general as the team is too small they don't have time for it along with animators or animations.
Retexturing the spnkr to a fuel rod is nasty work
So stupid
I don't even play halo that much anymore, but I'm amazed at your dedication to save a once beloved franchise by the masses. Keep fighting the good fight, amigo!
Sean McShop update
3:20 is the most Mint Blitz shit I can think of. “I can’t hit you with these rockets, lemme just headshot you point blank with the most difficult weapon thin the game” 😂
Always on top of things even while living in a country that gets the internet two days later than everyone else.
The mutilator got patched out.
Guys let’s be real Halo hasn’t been relevant since 2010. That was 15 years ago…
After the premium pass expire it impossible get the 4th challenge slot when Blue team and Forerunner operation pass shows up due to the fact you can't buy them for 500cR
I'm enjoying the update, tbh. Yea the actual fuel rod would be way better, but the spanker variant plays well and fits nicely in the sandbox. Not to mention ranked squad battle is awesome. So I'm happy. Plus the new battle pass is totally worth it, 3 weapon models and 4 armor sets for less than $10. I'm satisfied
Yeah ngl I had very bad criticism about the Fuel Rod SPNKR, talking negative stuff about it, but when the update came out and I managed to get it a couple times in FireFight, I genuinely giggled and laugh like a gremlin using it. While it may not look like the OG Fuel Rod Cannon, it feels very good to use when you actually manage to get and use it. I say this update is a 9/10.
110%! I have been having so much fun since the update. And the battlepass is so worth it. Nice job Halo Studios.
The weapon is OP ...
*BUT*
it's fun to both use AND get blown up by
I don't really play infinite anymore, but I remember flavor text in various games about the fuel rod being lost technology or something, ONI was having a tough time recreating it. For it to be made into a UNSC weapon kinda settles a small plot point and is an interesting example of the melding of human and alien technology
@@jakespencer6781 True, I haven't like, played any multiplayer type modes, (I don't know if it's in BTB) but I usually don't play players vs players I mostly grind on firefight cause I suck at PvP modes, but when I used it in firefight, you have an insane advantage against higher ranked enemies and such, not to mention the bodies you rack with it, a chefs kiss. Plus I have blown myself up accidentally with it 10 times already lol. Kinda curious what it's like with players though
We’ve BEEN divided since 343 took over 😅
Literally logged on a couple days ago, couldn’t find Castle Wars, hopped off. Thank you for the information!!
The thing about halo infinite compared to all the games in MCC is that i could replay campaigns for any of the bungie games, and then the next day be like that mission was fun the story was good i gotta play it again! In infinite, it's got a good storyline like it could've been worse, but once i completed the campaign, ive maybe played it with a friend once or twice.
The update to strafing speed broke a lot of parkour maps.
That sucks. I didn’t even think of that but I play parkour a ton
I don’t know why, as it’s only a small change, but the shotgun nerf makes me sad. I loved using the bulldog when it was good, but now i don’t even feel like it’s worth picking up.
Hype for the MCC and modding coverage. At this point the only ones with the potential to do Halo justice are the fans themselves
QA is quality assurance not quality assessment
Same shit
I like the update. Helmet attachments are gradually becoming crosscore, Diet Fuel Rod is fun, assault is good, and the return of Seasons is a nice change despite the issue of FOMO returning.
Division is inevitable, that’s just how it is. Nothing Halo Studios does will change that. A simple name change will not wash away the mistakes of 343. Especially when Halo Studios repeats said mistakes.
Regarding the Battle Pass, I thought they said that it was just that the Battle Pass could only be purchased during the event period. I don’t remember them saying anything about expiring changes after it’s been purchased.
I had NO IDEA Headhunter is back!? Thanks for this video, I'll be jumping back on Halo with my buddy for this mode
The fuel rod being inconsistent at higher ping is a legacy feature
WHY TF IS THE PREORDER BONUS IN THE SHOP
THE EXCHANGE IS ONLY SUPPOSED TO HAVE PREVIOUSLY RELEASED FREE ITEMS. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WAS THE HAUNTED HELMET.
They mentioned they'd be putting exclusive stuff that wasn't available back then (Like coatings or weapon skins that were from exclusive deals, like mountain dew for example)
I believe pre-order bonuses are also included.
I mean. I don't think 7500 is equivalent to $60
@@BluVic02 fair enough
I don't like neutral bomb ranked 😂
I think it's worth mentioning that in the games industry, QA usually finds most issues. Unfortunately, that does not mean they get fixed or that releases get delayed to fix them. It's pretty often in QA in the industry for us to say, hey, this is a big/notable issue, and for whatever reason a decision is made by those at a higher level to not address or prioritize it. QA often knows about the issues and reported them, which is all they can do. They just aren't then addressed.
They payin yo ass to advertise this game the way you talk
The non-expiring battle passes was one of the good things about infinite. You can grind the free pass while it's active, and buy all the old passes whenever you want. Battle passes being permanent content is one of the best evolutions of the seasonal content trend in gaming, and they decided to backstep on it. Actually can't make ts up
If this game actually launched in a state where we had this amount of content - It would be up there with some of the highest played games IMHO.
Halo MCC is not higher than Halo Infinite’s most played section on Xbox atleast not in the US (Halo’s biggest population) in fact, Halo MCC isn’t even in the top 50 most played games on Xbox in US.
Feels like its harder to repulse nades back at people now, too. Maybe its just me but I feel the new bouncier nades have that effect.
I was kinda bummed fuel rod was just reskinned but it's so darn fun! Haven't got new map yet so looking forward to playing it when get home later.
My guy, it was an honor to get destroyed by you a couple of days ago in Assault - and an even higher one to see it happen here in the B-roll of the video 😁😅
I’ve been playing halo since the beginning. I never missed a single halo game that dropped and played them even if it weren’t “good”. Infinite was the game that made me finally, give up. I’ve missed the last 2 operations purposely because I realized I’m forcing myself to get them to the max level without enjoying it. What’s a game if you don’t enjoy it? It’s sad to say but halo has lost its identity and replaced with false hype
Honestly I’m just focused on the game modes and gameplay, I have to really tune out the shop stuff and battlepass. Because at its core and the content offered, Halo Infinite is a great multiplayer game to chill out on
Have you checked who all are incharge of the next halo games ? The studio devs ? The game writiers ? The staff leads ? The next game is going to be very painful to play
Battlepasses now expire, well damn. There goes the Edge it had over other Battlepasses.
The bomb time limits and lack of a draw on assault is broken as hell.
Hey man! Good video! After watching I have two questions.
1: how many games have been confirmed they are currently working on.
2: how big is the current team signed to infinite?
The fact that Assault is Forge-made also means it's impossible to save custom game versions of the mode, which is pretty lame.
the 476 players still on infinite must be thrilled !
I love getting a game mode which HALO 2 LITERALLY LAUNCHED WITH 20 YEARS AGO three years after release
Duuude I totally forgot about Sean McShop update hahaha. Dude had the funniest way of saying stuff lmao. DA COOKIES
I don't even play halo infinite anymore, yet I still try to keep up with the news and updates.
Not having any sniper mode available between rotations on ranked really hurts, otherwise I don't feel too strongly about this update
Quality Assurance dawg
Them adding the falcon out of pity eventually after years of it being in game is insulting
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 MAKE HALO GREAT AGAIN 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Its really sucks Frontline Operation that tier 21-50 are locked behind a paywall for this season .. like don't they already get more money from bundles already. The modes are nice to have back and also liking the new setup. But thats all I can say for this season.
Yet the prime problem with jiggle peaking is when the connection of pc to console is applied and a keyboard is being used. Sadly I doubt it changed it but merely hindered console strafing.
Be great to see an attempt to change the instant turret and vehicle rotations on mouse aswell
Toxic positivity
My expectations were low, but glad to see assault is back.
Why are deadzones still changing game to game 3 years later
Halo players are divided! All 1,200 of them!
what is even the direction of halo we been threw bs had hope and more bs it's just over honestly it's either the ip is sold to someone better or we move
Small thing I noticed is Jeff Steitzer’s voice lines in Assault are very very Halo Reach-esque.. anymore information on that? It’s the only reason I played more than 2 matches
How fucked is it that Halo Studios (still 343) are asking Forgers to make maps, but say their maps arent considered "content" so they arent entitled to monetary compensation? That's bullshit, and a good reason NOT to play anything from those developers. Oh, but they have plently of time to make armor for the shop...right...
What is the best mode in halo infinite right now Mint?
BRO I fought you in a match the other day you flew at me in the air like batman I straight up died and went "damn how the hell he up in the air like that"
As sad as it is to see halo in this state. I somehow believe the art team know what we want considering how well done the “soldier” or “Didact” armor looks. It doesn’t look human and I definitely want atleast 3 playable species in halo 7. That being brutes elites and Spartans
Delta halo, & squad battle should be in the same playlist.
Literally the only reason why I don't play Halo Infinite much anymore is just because I literally can't find games anymore. If I could still find games in like my staple playlists like Quick Play, Infection, and Husky Raid, I would keep playing to this day regardless of its plin plin plon.
343i / Halo Studios alienated fans with their shoddy Halo 4 and Halo 5 releases. The few fans they made from those games were alienated with the release of Infinite and the abandonment of the 4/5 storyline. Now the very little Infinite fans are being burned by how they quickly abandoned their "10 year plan".
343i alienation record
Halo 4 & 5 - alienated Halo fans
Infinite - alienated Halo 4/5 fans
Halo Studios - alienated Infinite fans by abandoning the "10 year plan"
I'm thankful I can still play and enjoy classic Halo that still has a large and active community.
I'll be playing Halo VR on my channel with MODs if anyone is interested. I have install guides also so you can play too!
If Mint wants to work for free doing quality control. Let him!
Not being able to go back and get the premium passes later sucks but I understand why it has to be that way. Super unfortunate
You’re mistaken about the strafing changes. It decreased strafing acceleration, the inertia is the same as before. It’s better but having inertia like past games would be best
