Honestly no.
Desync is still an issue.
Limited number of maps right now. Dumb weapon/vehicle spawns in BTB.
Freezing and crashing even happens to Xbox players.
Challenge structure is absolute garbage. Rewards are lol. ( Gotta complete 20 challenges some of which are completely asinine to have the Ultimate Challenge rotate in. This week the reward is this for people's time and troubles lol:
Cheaters are still present especially in Tactical and Ranked.
Ranked MM is busted af.
No forge.
Theater mode is useless.
Store is still woefully overpriced with boring options in the regular BP.
And if you avoid multi: Campaign still has random bugs and no co-op.

The mid season update is out next week, but it's only promising fixes and enhancements. No new content until May, maybe. The lack of any kind of content updates for six or more months is insane in this era.
I ended up going back to CS. It was fun but I got tired of playing the same shit all the time with the same recycled drops every week in the store with shitty emblems and backdrops for the weekly rewards.
If I have to play the same 3 maps all the time at least give me some good armor shaders or weapon skins. They have weapon attachments that they can also give out. You want me to complete 20 challenges and then do another challenge for something I’ll never use and all that exp goes to waste since I completed the BP already

Yeah same. When they add some new maps and a new battlepass, I am in again. But cant be bothered with the same maps over and over.
I just don't think they have anything. I'm very skeptical of how many new maps they even have for season two. They wanted to run this like a live service, but are doing practically nothing to support that.
In related news, apparently one of the big features of forge is being able to change biomes/weather of existing maps, so get ready for hot new updates like Bazaar at night. (The H5 map remixes were genuinely one of the worst feature updates I can remember.)

The only explanation available aside from utter incompetence is sabotage cause I really don't understand not only the barebones of its launch but no real plan of action about any of it. Then you got some absolutely baffling design choices that do not inspire more play at all and actually actively discourage it. Players are either burnt out trying to get those ultimate challenges out of just pure FOMO or absolutely tired of engagements that because of desync turn out to be RNG. "Will my rocket kill this dude" should never be in question.
So they promised us a roadmap in January and now it's March and there's basically radio silence.
Not feeling great about this content update making May.

It's going to be the MCC route all over again, I wouldn't expect to much in May.
If Forge is added, it might get saved by community maps.

Everything about Forge sounds great and it’s probably the future of the game. 343 have already shown us that we can’t expect anything from them.
Co-op is delayed, Forge isn't launching until season three, and season two only has two new maps.
This is the worst live service.

Some time in season two, maybe. I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm genuinely astonished that they have so little after six entire months. I want to play this game again and they're giving me no reason to.

😒 Smh
I wish I lived in the alternate reality where Microsoft released Halo in 2020 as originally planned because I really am curious how they thought whatever they had was good enough. Craig memes aside, that shit must have had 4 maps and 1 game type.
What kind of dirt does Bonnie have on Phil/Satya? She killed Halo more than CoD ever could have. If anyone else was this incompetent at their job they would have been tossed into the sun

Craig memes aside, that shit must have had 4 maps and 1 game type.I'm also super curious what may have been able to ship in 2020. The amount of content the multiplayer has after a year delay and another six months after that is embarrassing. And this is with 343 and multiple support studios working on the game. There's an army of people behind this and we got two new maps six months later.

For all my gripes about how bad the Gears 5 content updates were, those had more content and were released more quickly than this. It's crazy.
I was under the impression the delay was mostly graphical. The Craig memes forced as they were mostly bagged on the look which in fairness they fixed.
Very few games are doing Gaas correctly right now.
Damn, reading the last 2 pages...wtf happened?!

And any of it actually addressing desync? I honestly could not give a fuck for more content before fixing an issue where you die to bullshit multiple times a game.

So thoughts on the upcoming Halo BR ?
They'll have to add tons of new guns and remove a bunch to start with.
Reinvent the whole shield/health pool because getting hit melee ko combo'd would suck so bad.
I don't think the BR will be any good if they keep the MP gameplay.

Not at all interested. They had a chance to retain a bunch of people on launch with a quality product but didn't deliver, so their "it will bring in new people" is a laugh riot to me.
I just want arena maps and modes, honestly. I'm mildly interested to try the new map when the season starts, but given their truly awful matchmaking experience, who knows how often it will even come up. (Same for king of the hill, too.)
Also, heard assault is coming in season three. I'm dying with this drip feed.

I just want my bullets to matter. Even in my low ping games it's just RNG encounters. Will it count all of my shots? Will my melee land?
One thing is for certain--this engine should be dumped in the trash. Don't even try to save it. Move on to UE5 for their next game, if they can manage to get out of this GaaS contract they have with infinite.
Season 2 will be 6 months aswell so in 6 months we get 2 BTB maps and 1 arena map.
And in 6 months there will be Forge?
Laughable development.
Game will be dead before the BR lands.

I just wonder at what point Microsoft does anything about the state of 343 and Halo. It's obvious there's significant behind the scenes issues happening with the workflow, the engine, and company management and all these have existed for years and years, but unlike other Microsoft studios, nothing ever changes. They keep putting out games that are bereft of content or straight up broken.
Microsoft basically cleaned house at The Coalition after the Gears 5 launch mess, but 343 is still plugging away on basic features for Microsoft's flagship series.

Infinite is a bit tragic, isn't it.
343 nailed the fundamentals but completely dropped the ball on so many aspects.
I can't come back for 2 maps :lol.

By rodeoclown Go To PostHalo Infinite season three delayed to November. Campaign co-op isn't coming until August, Forge isn't coming until November, multiplayer progression isn't coming until next year. Absolute joke.Fuck, I didn't hear about some of this. Christ. Honestly feels like they have sabotaged their own game.
I told my wife we could play Halo splitscreen and she thinks I’m lying because 343 is taking a year to add a feature that every Halo has ever had
I wouldn’t even be surprised if Spartan Assault had splitscreen

BTB needs so much refocus to be something other than just RNG tank wins the game and wasp kill farming.
haven't played in months. wanted this black visor

343 released Tactical Slayer Mangler because they still believe people should have to needlessly suffer.
Contrary to what people say, 343 does believe in fun. They just don’t believe we deserve to have it

Season 2 needs a change of the challenge system bad. Lots of people in your situation just quit till they get BR. Others quit till they get their control, flag, strongholds, or stockpile game. Shits a mess.
It's early but I'm enjoying Last Spartan Standing. My aim is absolute shit tier in this game now so I dont think I'll ever win but whatever
This isn’t supposed to be the Halo BR mode is it? You can never be too sure when it comes to Halo and fucking things up
Last Spartan Standing is a different mode than their BR which is coming ... this year ?
It's being developed by a different studio aswell and it's been in "development" for 2 years.
So I would think it'll be a Warzone situation with a different launcher and engine?

Ok good. It’s okay as a game mode and I hope they keep it. It’ll be better with different maps, one map is kind of getting repetitive.
Ranked and social having different damage for BR melee is stupid.
Shock rifle to be removed in BTB so we have even less anti-wasp and anti-tank weaponry is dumb.
Fuckin 343 dude.

I think I just reached the conclusion that this game really isn't for me at the moment. This "season" doesn't really seem to address much and the content update that comes with it is pretty paltry. Maybe if Forge actually comes out and the community can start making content that 343 isn't able to provide.
Ultimately, the game has real fundamental problems with things like the networking and the multiplayer progression that they seem incapable or uninterested in addressing. Instead, they focus on "problems" that don't exist like eliminating skill jumps.
