I think if 343 wants to use community content to fuel there game’s popularity they should pay the creators. 343 pays people to make maps in-house that look half as good as most community maps. I don’t like the idea of the game being popularized by community content just for 343 to reap all the benefits. I don’t want to spend time making something that someone else is gonna make money off of
That's exactly why the only reason I'm still invested in Halo Infinite is for the exchange items, operation freebies and reaching Hero rank at this point I'm just not interested in the overpriced shop items or even the lackluster premium operation pass items either the Whales can keep on paying 343i for mediocre low effort support of a live service whatever that is.
@@xPaulxDx99 I agree with that but sadly it’s hard slap to developers when the community is getting paid with no deadlines vs them especially with the lay offs and contract jobs
There's also a shotgun on Courtyard that shoots volatile skewer rounds, and it's as overpowered as you think (takes kinetic ammo, so just refill before you empty it). Also, the first game on during this operation, my firefight team had 2 people already rocking the Achilles helmet, so let that say what it will.
Funny you say that because last night some guy grabbed that gun and must've shot down every Phantom in that game. Insane damage + he finished with a score of around 5500! At first I thought he was cheating or a glitch, but thanks for verifying that this weapon is legit!
I might be dumb asking this but, wouldn’t more people buy things from the shop if things were cheaper which means more money? I could be wrong but if anybody that knows marketing please enlighten me.
Thing is that people are buying at these prices, that’s why they’re still high, if they weren’t making money then they would lower the prices, but they are still earning. From their perspective it is a risk, they can lower prices and still get the same engagement, or slightly more engagement but then they’re making less money from each purchase.
Getting Achilles in Halo 5 was such a grind. I never even made it. It would've been great to make this bundle like 200.000 or 300.000 spartan points to let people EARN it. It would also maybe increase player numbers. I think that should be worth more to 343 than a random person here or there that gives them 18 dollars.
great content my dude, i remember someone talking about a linear campaign forge map YEAAARSSS ago on twitter based on the Truth and Reconciliation campaign level, then never heard anything about it for ages, i think it was called Lies and Retribution at the time, this looks like the same map, dope if so
I didn't even think that it looked like the DMR. But now that you mention it lol. I love the style of that battle rifle. I don't know why but it just seems more aesthetically pleasing it looks. It has all the bells and whistles that you would see on a tricked out rifle on call of duty. I know Spartans don't need that stuff but it still looks fresh. Everyone seems to really like that HCS world's 2024 bundle. I got it mainly to support. It's not bad looking.. I like the Halo Reach play list super nostalgic. However I've had a buggy experience with more than half of the maps. I have spend some money on the microtransactions. And the more I spend the more I think about how much a lot of this stuff should be free.
Bing rewards is a great way to get some of the premium shop content without spending real money, by redeeming your rewards into MS e-gift cards. It's slow, but it's enough to get the occasional skin or set you'd really regret passing on if you're not willing to be taken for more real money than something is actually worth. I think I'd rather wait for the mk6 gen1 kit than get achilles though. I mostly like the new firefight maps, but I have a couple quibbles. Almost all of them direly need more BR spawns. The third hill in Ardent Prayer having a death fall in the middle of it makes the space a little too tight. That two-level hill in Powerhouse really sucks if you have a quitter on your team, because somebody is left trying to hold their level alone, and I think the AI's seem to preferentially rush the level with only one player.
I’ve complained about this since day one. And the boot lickers literally came out of the woodwork to say it’s free to play. Which in concept is awesome. I’d rather buy a game and be able to grind this stuff out. Instead of having to pay actual money to have armor that should be able to be earned.
The second they introduced firefight king of the hill I knew as an Insurgency Sandstorm pve player that someone would make a map like the Covenant Carrier. Rotating through a linear map while holding off waves is so fun!
💚! The firefight update is outstanding. Forge creators deserve compensation for these! The shop is another L. A shame we have to keep talking about it but it’s the most consistently updated aspect of the game.
According to mint blitz, 343 recently updated the skill base matchmaking, but multiplayer is still sweaty as shit. Anytime I hop on infinite it’s just to gain XP by just doing firefight.
Wouldnt say its sweaty, just a bunch of trash parties than run in teams thinking they’re good, 343 needs to make it where teams match teams if you’re partied up
💚 the way you talk about old experiences is how I feel about all the nostalgia maps. Don't get me wrong guardian, lockout,etc. Are all great but please for the love of God bring something new into matchmaking some of these maps are twenty years old. They are great like I said and they look beautiful. But give us something new please please please!! BTW keep up the great work my Kool brother!! Big fan of your content!!!!! 💚
Really fun playlist, but I think the map weighting is skewed (or I just had really bad luck). When I played on Tuesday I got 1 match on Courtyard, 1 match on Ardent Prayer, and 4 matches on Lone Wolf. Lone Wolf is fine, but I got it way too often. Ardent Prayer is great though, and I hope we get more linear KOTH firefight maps eventually (maybe even make it it's own playlist). Just like with Ardent Prayer, you could make a lot of maps for it based on campaign sections from past Halo games, or you could make completely original maps and have it work too.
All of the previous event items should just be thrown into the exchange. I got the dragon bark shoulders by looking for them and buying them with 7500sp and it wasn’t featured in the exchange this time around. Other items previously in the exchange might still be purchasable with your SP.
I love the idea of Ardent Prayer and linear Firefight but found the execution of this a bit under whelming. The Phantom dropped enemies are sitting ducks with their weird slide into the ship. It was still fun just not quite what I was hoping for.
@@KevinKoolx I suggested this back when the Spartan Points were released, but I was saying that they should offer a Spartan Point option to actually incentivize players to play the game while also offering an alternative way to buy store bundles and items. Idc if it’s’ like 50,000 Spartan Points for a 2200 Credit Bundle or something, just as long as I have the opportunity to grind for it. I doubt my tweet even met the eye of any employees of the financial part of things, because I’m not a big voice, but it’s actually a great suggestion. Those who don’t want to grind can pay the outrageous prices.
Well i am kinda bored of the firefight. I think it needs at least double enemy quantity for it to be fun. I also do not like the king of the hill... It should be about survival and thats it
I think people just want a new Halo at this point. This one wasn't it. It didn't keep most players long term and that's okay. Just time to bring out the next one. Let multiple companies make them even. I'd pay $100 easy for a really tactical extraction Halo game.
My thing is I quit buying when they said they were moving on to the next halo. why support a game they abandoned? Still love playing it but sorry I spent enough already on this game when it came out hoping they would update this game and dlc for the campaign
It’s crazy because infinite is a free to play game only to people that don’t care about halo. All people that are halo fans are also a fan of the campaign which you had to pay full price for if you wanted the campaign and we’re using game pass ultimate then to top it off all the cosmetics that people actually want are all behind a pay wall. 343/Microsoft really don’t care about the halo audience and only want their money. Sad days to be a halo fan, unfortunately
I feel like this game shouldn't of been a f2p..like the campaign itself was 60$ why couldn't they just have included the multiplyer with that as well like a normal game..I just feel like 343 is so greedy and constantly updates the shop and not the game itself like at the end of the day why would they epxect someone to spend 20$ on digital armor pieces on a game that is barely touched/updated by the devs😮💨 idk I just feel like we as halo fans deserve better then this.
@Almightylos I don't believe that man. I think 343 is a very greedy company and so is microsoft " as we all know ". I think there might be a few with 343 that do it for genuine love for the franchise but I think it's always a " let's see how much we can make " instead of a " let's see what we can create " kinda mindset.
It's cool for players that enjoy firefight but for players like me who don't this operation is dead boring already and its over 4 weeks this operation. They also took headhunter away which at least was good for the xp grind, that is a terrible decision.
hot take fiesta and husky raid suck they don't require skill they require luck and i always spawn with a shitty plasma pistol while an enemies got a rocket husky raid is worse cuz its fiesta but with spawn killing
The idea of those modes isn't to highlight skill but to have wacky fun. That style certainly isn't for everyone but those modes continue to be the most popular with the casual community.
I dont mind husky raid its just the OP gravity hammer that ruins that mode, theres really nothing you can do when 1 or more people have a hammer on the other team
They completely lied to everyone about DLC and multiplayer it's just tiresome at this point. They completely cooked the story line just to make a few extra dollars. yuck.
This is such a good game but there really is no incentive to keep playing at least halo 5 gave u reason to play and grind stuff out I’m not paying for stuff stuck behind a pay wall this shit is getting rediculos at this point that’s really y I bearly play halo infinite caz of the pay wall bs I get that it’s free to play but for real it’s getting out rages at this point add more weapons and vehicles
Yeah i agree, nobody asked for a free halo game, its just an excuse to pump micro transactions into the game, if 343 want people to continue playing the game there needs to be more reason to grind it other than hitting hero which takes a ridiculous amount of months
What are your thoughts on Halo Infinite Champions Operation and Battle of Reach update? ⏬️
Honestly at this point I think we should support having more forge updates rather than brief battle pass updates

I have been enjoying Firefight but sometimes I feel like I'm playing with bots as team mates.
Im good at heart im a samurai, and they made part of that armor set for free so i aint paying for shit.
