Totally not surprised about this if it's true. Will definitely help in workflow terms and actually making something that doesn't look like ass and runs poorly.

It's still hilarious that local co-op is effectively feature complete but they've said it can't happen.

Ah. Modern gaming. Where both Forza and Infinite need multi-GB updates on the same day before they can be played

Working well. So far two crashes in first mission. I've also had a fast crash back to dashboard during MP matchmaking so def a few issues. New challenge & XP system appears... better... but time will tell. Certainly fewer fuck-that challenges anyway. Battle pass level progression seems a tad slower even with an XP boost but that's no bad thing. and at least now you can get some progression just for playing after the first 5 games of the day which you didn't before. The new stealth one flag mode is fun for a change of pace for a bit and, happy days, the battle pass doesn't force you to do it for challenges. Christ it takes them fucking ages to come up with the sort of tweaks that Bungie can bang out in a weekly hotfix for Destiny 2 though. |

Not sure if just me, but I don't seem able to connect to any multiplayer servers on PC - and haven't for a while. Finds a server, countdown begins, then "Lost connection to server". Like the bad old days.

Got back into this last night to take a break from Sonic Frontier (which I am loving). Beat those twin bosses that pissed me off originally, and now I'm having fun again. Halo just feels so good to play.
I always regretted not finishing this one, so now I have a goal to complete the campaign by the end of the year.

Yeah, I've been trying to finish the single player too. I think I'm near the end (please?!) and big orc dude has lured me into some kind of assault course . |

Halo infinite forge custom game modes and maps are already looking great:
Halo Mondays are back?

Can't believe this game still has the flickery 120hz vrr issue on Xbox...
The only way to get rid of it for me is to quit the game fully, set the refresh to 60hz and then go back in. Doesn't work if I quick resume or change refresh on the fly. No other games do this.
I am still loving the game when I dip in and out of the campaign though. It's just really fun to play.

I would love to play Halos and all the new forge playlists but I'm getting the offline bug on Xbox and it won't even launch on PC and nothing I try will fix either issue. Yay.

I've never seen such a buggy halo game before. All the rubber banding and stuff is making this a chore to play through co-op.

It's a shame as the actual gameplay is fantastic and what a modern Halo should be, but 343 continually drop the ball with literally everything else.

A focused narrative experience (ie. more of the same please) would've been preferable to this weird open world

Nice! Halos forge is getting more and more social media traction, hopefully it's the start of the community being revived.

Finally completed the campaign on this the other day. It was really fun but bloody long! 9/10 for me, only real downside was the lack of variety.

Good Lighting is what separates the decent forge maps from the great ones

Massive layoffs at 343, forge hasn't stopped player decline and more stories of mismanagement are coming to light.

TBF there's 11,000 layoffs at Microsoft in general affecting 343, The Coalition, Bethesda and other parts of Microsoft.

Some big news regarding 343i and Halo as a whole since the whole redundancy stage. Twitter link is in French so here's the main stuff:
-Halo Infinite single player smaller DLC leading to bigger expansion has been cancelled completely due to lack of player retention and little chance to monetise it.
-multiplayer content is the only focus and will continue as normal.
-Cuts are to prepare for a possible recession but more importantly to pivot 343i away from game development to more of an overseer of the property. So no more games being developed at 343i
-Halo Infinite follow up will be coordinated by 343i BUT that specific game and any other games under the Halo licence will be given to other studios to develop.
Pretty big news, shit that's it for single player content but glad that someone's seen the light and decided to give Halo to other studios because 343i have just been slowly killing the franchise after so many attempts.

Damn, I was hoping for some more single player content, I really enjoyed the campaign and hoped we'd get some more time in that world.

That’s pretty much all the post-bungee Halos, right? Each one is a sequel to a game you haven’t actually played. The didactic is the villain, wait, no cortana is, wait, no it’s the harbinger and the gorilla thing from the other game series I haven’t played.
It all just needs burning with fire and pretending everything after 3 didn’t happen.
