Halo Infinite - Welcome Back Old Friend 

Hi

IM FIRST BITCHES

@@eilorhen1488 nah

I find it pretty rare that you made a 13 minute video using fully animated animation, now that's something new from you that I liked very much, nice. 👍

Really liked the new style

MACCRRROOOO

Couldn't agree more

Understandable. I still hop on every now and again with some buds for a few matches because for me, getting clips, streaks and Ws means more to me than just leveling up or unlocking stuff. Back in Halo 3 days there was like a handful of armor sets, I just cared about winning lol. With a FTP game it's different though and I get that, hopefully they can kick it into high gear ASAP. With Forge, co-op, new maps, new modes, and maybe even a battle royal.

@@CircleToonsHD if you haven’t seen already the forge leaks are absolutely insane and I’d recommend checking them out if you’re hyped about it’s release

the crow of macs

I have a whole playlist full of them. I make fully animated videos every few months or so in between the short stuff :>

@@CircleToonsHD that's sick!!! i'll check em out....thanks for the hard work...

agreed

This that cream of the crop

These take a lot of time, 13 minutes of non stop animation and voice acting with edits? Yeah that takes time, circle can’t really just make more.

Thank you! This is exactly what I feel. I might get it for the campaign when it's on sale, but the multiplayer broke my heart.

I would say it’s more of a hollow diamond. Great game no content.

The biggest issue is that it wasn't launched finished. More multi-player maps and forge. That is what it needs most. The monetization is annoying as it's free to play. But that is just cosmetics. I see no reason to dis on the whole game because a helmet costs money in the store. Not saying the system shouldn't be improved. But I am saying that the game is great. No need to get hung up on a multi-player cosmetic store. The biggest issue is definitely the lack of multi-player maps and forge. But to say it has no content is untrue. You have a good campaign in a large world, and a very solid multi-player. That is more than a lot of other good games have.

@@sawdust8691 I hate it when people say "it"s just cosmetics", looking cool is a large part of the fun of a game, if you lock it behind a paywall, you have half a game.

@@oOZdemOo Half of the game is not cosmetics, you're insane. That's only true for call of duty, they have shit multiplayers and campaigns but make up for it in cosmetics.

Winter and Content Updates?

I agree with you fully

even facing recent setbacks you're absolutely right.

Love your videos tj by the way how's your lucky cat doing👍

Are you owo’s clone I find you every were like owo

@@Random-gc1fb He's a great guy, always sending nice messages :3

You've been patient for too long, this is just stockholm syndrome now.

I'd say halo is reaching it's final breath without any new content

@@Michaelf122 ehh I disagree. I definitely think 343 needs to get its management together(which I’ve heard they’ve been doing, and is probably the reason they’re so silent) I’m just sick of listening to bungie fanboys act like this is the worse halo we’ve gotten. This is not the worse. For one, the level design is repetitive, yes. But is it the fucking library from CE? No. God I hated that level. Fuck that level. I had to turn on the banana skull to have any fun in that pile of shit

UWU

But the real question is how much money from your bank have you syphoned straight into the games store I’ll take shame in saying a bit over $450 aud

@@frugsen4117 I spent only on the Premium BP for the cosmetics, I just refuse to soak cash into the store, very anti-consumer

@@TheJoviLovi I fell for it with only a bit of regret, I can’t lie my spartan looks sick as now head to toe

@@frugsen4117 It sucks to admit these things, I would buy the colour yellow...if I had the chance XD

currently i think everyone agrees on this one thing; halo infinite has a LOT of potential to be one of the best of all the halo games, but 343 is not doing a great job at fixing it and giving it the attention it deserves.

@@Azverial I full-heartedly agree.

Hey guys guess what (the game still barely has ANY CONTENT!)

@@FUNNYpla Yea the fact they removed husky raid kind of sucks. Still tho it's much better than it was at launch (but then again, it wasn't hard to do better than that)

@@FUNNYplamy guy this game has more maps and more game modes than any of the other halos tf you on about?

lmao they want to give you as little content as possible in exchange for the most amount of money that's what this is dude you are buying literally asset pieces seperately from the actual game now Like you're not even buying a real product no wonder the entire frigging economy is busted

343 seems like it’s too professional for the fans. Like they’re too corporate to listen. They made one hell of a campaign my favorite of all the games. That’s probably because I wasn’t sentient during the hype for the better games, but (spoiler) When master chief says that Escharum was just a soldier in the end, doing what he thought was right. Questioning his choices. I absolutely adored that, it shows Master Chief’s respect for soldiers and their similarities.

@@ContrastCopy I agree, Infinite's campaign has some really moving moments. But yeah, it feels like 343 is being less and less responsive to the fans

@@dmk_yt well, let’s talk about the fans sending death threats

@@herobrineop9939 I don't agree with their actions at all. I was just saying I want 343 to be transparent with the community.

To quote a wise man "engraving give every tactical advantage"

tbh I don't care about customization, I really don't mind it at all. I just want more maps and game modes, that all it needs.

Sound design is strong, but what kills it is that *it doesn’t register sounds you aren’t looking at.*

@@aaaaa4197 8 dollars. For blue. Ah yes, reasonable.

I agree with the reach style armor, I like the idea more to be able to customize by each piece, rather than the whole armor and the helmet like 5 or just armor and color like infinite.

Well, we gotta see what the Endless is all about….

@@brickweathertop7907 Yeah honestly, I thought it was precursors, it still could be but I'm not sure what they are right now other than 4th dimensional beings which I feel pretty confident on, 343 and bungie employees I think go to the same bar and it's pretty clear at this point they get a bit drunk and share ideas very loosely. Would not even shock me if it's something like the witness but not.

@@Microwave414 yea and if we are being honest….the flood was just space zombies. I think the endless can be vastly more interesting

@@brickweathertop7907 Well, I like to evaluate what we actually have now and not what we might have later and right now it's not much. 343 could have given the player base a small taste of the endless like bungie did with the flood in CE but choose not to instead of pointing to vague grimoire-like voice logs. Maybe that will be better, maybe it won't be. Only time will tell.

@@brickweathertop7907 saying the flood is just space zombies, is like saying the reapers from mass effect are just robot space squid. not wrong, but definitely wrong.

Welp, at least they can only go up from this point

@Riorozen Are you stupid? Are you just counting the Steam numbers? On Xbox Halo has around 100k players, ooooh, but no one plays it sure, just because you don't play it doesn't mean everyone don't, you aren't the center of the world

​@@sakuradabp6400 And they did

always late but is the most fun to be with

More like the one guy who's a chronic underachiever. You know he has potential, but he doesn't meet it.

So True so much Community content and support

Hell yeah! I'm truly proud of the state that Halo Infinite was able to rise to, giving some of the most fun in I've had playing the game since it's rocky start.

Halo Infinite Glow up 💫

Exactly

While also half blind

at least the gunplay in campaign was fun

@@sodium7127 Yeah...but the fact that that's all the positives it has is a bit sad

multiplayer is underrated by people who didnt wanna stick through, by far one of the best multiplayer experiences only shunned by titles that came prior due to the limitations at the time making those games better for their respective time. infinite muliplayer is a joke, maps are now call of duty, 3 route with overarching pathways, clones. weapons are overglorified and all made to be marksman weapons, nothing special was done with the weapons either. its shit plz @ me

@@chino146 I'd say the weapons are fairly unique, in that they aren't all marksman weapons, and I'll be honest, I see myself using every weapon in infinite more than I do in any other halo game (except 5, but that had weapon variants in standard match making)

TF2 is satan spawn that has to commit frequent ritual sacrifices to stay alive.

Heya! Isnt season 2 coming out in less than 2 months now - that doesnt sound like a content drought, unless you're refering to big pieces like Forge then yeah besides Coop which is slated for during season 2. . .

@@starsilverinfinity An entire six months after launch we're only getting a couple new maps and game modes in Season 2; that's downright pathetic and completely unacceptable for a live service game. However i will say it's not 343's fault, they're working crazy brutal hours over there playing catch up, the reason everything is taking so long is because Microsoft forced them to make their own engine (instead of using Unreal which was their initial plan) and that engine is a hot mess they needed more time to develop it but Microsoft rushed them and now everything they do takes substantially more time to do everything because they're constantly with all the issues of the engine. They also (because of a dumb Microsoft policy) can't keep contractors on pernamently so these people are constantly rotating out and then workers have to pickup work on this stuff without the original creators. These development problems are why Forge is going to be so crucial to Halo Infinite, so that they can let the community make all the new content for them while they focus most of their resources into fixing the engine and other stuff tied to it. It's frustrating that Microsoft doesn't just start pumping millions of dollars into hiring a crap load of new employees so that they can speed things up and make it easier on the workers, unfortunately that's not really happening from what I can tell though so we just have to wait until Season 3 before things start to turn around.

@@Kyotosomo Ah, I took content drought as in literally nothing coming out, I like to be abit optimistic - a few more maps is better than. . .no maps at all But yeah I agree with all your points, tis a shame but hopefully 343 picks itself back up - they seem to have a track record of being really good at that

No Sekiro was good enough to have mobility like that but ER already has more than it needs for exploration

@@disresqects6024 dude it was a joke

What about Resident Evil, Dead Space, wait how about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater?

@@deanrich6928 Tony Hawk Skater Is Probably For Having A Tad Bit More Height But Not That Much. Dead Space Is Probably For Puzzle Solving And Escaping Danger. Resident Evil Though...Yeah I Don't Know About That.

Sekiro have

aka Cheese mmmmm cheese

Even worse now

Gameplay wise, its the same They added forge thats sick. But holy shit the performance is bad.

Yep. To be fair, Infinite always did a lot of things right. It does feel like Halo. The campaign wasn't amazing, but it was fine. It was basically just hitting the reset button. But at least the story wasn't "bad". It's issue was severe lack of content. Even the story is left pretty uncomplete planning for future addition. And it took them 19 months... NINETEEN MONTHS to get freaking Infection! And Forge! Absolutely ridiculous.

​@sawdust8691 huge corporations means lots of people that everything has to go through, not to mention the amount of meetings. Minecraft is the same way, which is why It takes a long time for minecraft updates to even happen. Before notch could just add a update himself, but now since Mojang is so big, more people need to pass it along. Granted this might not be the case, but it does sound like it. Sometimes you can't rush the process, or you'll end up with something like cyberpunk

Well I disagree, but I respect your opinion.

Absolutely agree with you. Warzone was a great addition that was part of Halo 5's launch and I enjoyed when they repurposed those maps for Firefight. Wasn't a big fan of the time constraints in Firefight but it was still a very fun time.

there are some leaks of a warzone-ish mode/ game settings. hopefully we get it

match xp, coop, and mission replay should've been there from the start. i could've ignored forge being delayed if almost every other part of the game wasn't. 5 free cores but most of the actual armor is locked behind fomo events and stupid high prices. infinite can just piss off with all the bull it does.

Agreed. People are praising the campaign world when it is literally copy and paste across the whole thing. Other halos really did great with different looking levels. Other open world games have much larger maps with tones of variety and different missions. Infinite is bland and boring, same map design throughout the world and repetive missions. 343 were lazy. Heck Oblivion came out in 2006 and has WAYYY more content and variety then this, assassin's creed titles continue to do this also.

Hella late but, I watched this video during a break from glitchless LASO. Heard the campaign praise. First playthrough, that's how I felt. It was refreshing, I was focused on the story, learning about the world. But collecting everything, listening to the logs, playing through for achievements... I realized how little any of my extra adventures mattered. And how the cosmetics I got from my legendary playthrough are the same ones someone could get on easy. Also I miss the bruteshot. Idk how they have a brute centered faction without the BRUTE shot. Can they replace the ravager with the bruteshot?

@@samueljohnston2516 I don't think the campaign is particularly bad, bud the story definitely is. When you have a story that you genuinely don't give a single shit about, because there are no stakes, Cortana dies off screen, Halo 5 doesn't matter, etc etc... well the game just kind of becomes a slog when you basically know exactly what's going to happen next. Open world halo just doesn't work because they can't spice things up with setpieces. Reach never felt samey even though it had far less options available to you for combat, and that's because it would always change up the music, atmosphere, enemy types, story motivation, and gameplay gimmicks (like 0G, spaceflight, Falcon roaming, Jetpacks and spartan lasers, etc.) The core gameplay I think is great in theory, but when you give a player that much power and freedom, nothing scares you. Banshee flying around? Grapplejack it. Ghost going straight towards you? Jump and then grapplejack it. Wraith shooting you from a distance? Stun grenade and then grapplejack it. Why even have vehicles for chief, he can just fuckin fly around like spiderman.

Yup

there is never a bad time to talk about Halo :D

@@maniac6655 to praise the game in its current state... Verry bad time

he is liking it ?

@@unknownwill4th549 i praise it cuz im loving it

T R U E

I'd never lose in masterduel again

Firefight is peak

Like a fine milk

This aged pretty well NOW.

I really agree with you on this. Initially Halo was supposed to be an open world game back during combat evolves released but that did not happened because of a limited development time. I've discussed with other fans about halo infinite approach and I feel like at one point if Halo had been an open world game it would have evolved that way And this would feel like a much more grounded experience. But Halo has been linear missions ever since the first game and that's what it's truly become so I feel like the open world really doesn't work because the formula that we've been accustomed to and really enjoy is something completely different

The game being open world added nothing

They needed to be more confident in themselves instead of just caving to complaints over and over again And yeah Halo 4 has the best art/music style I've ever seen in any game

Agreed. I absolutely fell in love with the forerunner/promethean art style. Sad that every hardcore halo fan hated it because it wasn't blocky like before.

@@frozenfreehand1997 the older halo titles weren't blocky at all. They were stylistic and colorful with a good amount of grit

@@frozenfreehand1997 Hi, yes, hard-core Halo fan here, I loved the art style but my only complaint was the Elites, really.

@@awoovement same

“…and constant updates. And forge.” -Master Chief

@@THEcoolGAMER60 "and a whole lot of bug fixes. and Maps. and decent armor." -Master chief

" and add more game types " - master chef

The doom Not missing He's god

Yeah you've played all the Halo games I have, I skipped 4-5, and many years later saw 'em on here, and I definitely didn't miss much, Infinite on the other hand is a different story altogether.

U should prob try to play the other halo games u missed out for better understanding of the story, and halo 1 and 2 were amazing so u have to try it

Hype*

Hope* Unfortunately I believe that hope has been crushed.

I think people hate 4&5 because they're looking at the game in a "how much halo is this" point of view instead of a "this is just a random video game" point of view, when you look at them from the first POV, they're not great because they're different from the Bungie games, but if you look at it as if it's just a random game you're playing they're pretty good.

@@wut-se8hz Well in my opinion it's pretty good for starting something new. Bungie full on ended halo. As in the flood was killed, elites gained back control and quelled the rebellion. Then 343 answered the "who's next question by giving us forerunners, an amazing enemy. On top of that they had infinite set up since halo wars 2

Yeah, it feels like only 10% of the multiplayer is in the game and they refuse to add anything new to it

@@fewpew5787 I started playing Infinite like a week ago. However I still have to agree about the lack of content. I feel like I get the same maps every few rounds, and I do think the maps are good so I’m not complaining. It just seems like it could get really repetitive in the long run. Also I think they’re doing a good job with the free battle passes. BTW I’ve only played the multiplayer so far, so I don’t really have an opinion on the campaign.

i can't tell if i love you or i hate you

@@slickcalf985 you lote me

Worst Halo game ever made. Buggy and incomplete.

@@ReFlectionsYT watch the newest video by Mint Blitz. He explains why.

@@TheGoldNShadow Yeah it's no surprise to me. Just sad man. Halo deserves better.

that was day 1 , compare 1 week since many players tried it and left it since its free

desync issues is why i'm not playing infinite. Others for too little content

Exactly my feelings. There was a severe lack of anything surrounding the gameplay - a completely forgettable story, dull and uninspired map design with few setpieces, annoying major enemies (Escharum especially holy fuck), and a limited multiplayer that is almost entirely a step down from the tight experiences of the Bungie games. I mostly played the campaign, and the map I'd say was the biggest offender of that experience. It was just straight up dead with extremely limited diversity owing to its singular biome and Far Cry style of hopping from enemy camp to enemy camp. Put it up against any above average open world (eg. Elden Ring, BoTW) and it's obvious just how little content is present in Infinite's campaign. And they charged $60! What a joke. The multiplayer was fine for a bit but got stale after I realized it was more-or-less the same as prior Halos, but just with a grappling hook and far fewer maps. Halo is dead and 343 killed it

Yeah far cry is exactly what it was, except take out all the reasons you play far cry and put a halo skin suit on it and make it run horribly

It's just cause it's so low effort from 343, they could be saving it rn tbf

when you make extremely obvious mistakes and lied about everything up to the launch of the game, and even after 6 years it still sucked then its well deserved. because the only good aspects of the game are gameplay. thats it.

@@protogensvisiontimelost254 I am quite aware, all I said is that it was good to see someone mention the positives dude

@@ToxicCoffeeTM there's only one positive with infinite, the gameplay, the campaign story feels like we missed out on on a halo game, the banished are underwhelming as hell, and cortana but not cortana but is actually cortana is meh at best.

@@protogensvisiontimelost254 ok dude listen, not tryna sound mean, but I cannot stress how little I care about how you personally feel toward the game

I felt the same with the campaign. It definitely felt very lackluster to what we saw in trailers. I could see major improvements in the campaign through DLC to make the world more lively. But, it is very much a waiting game

@@tessie555 Yeah, totally. It has a lot of potential, but they really didn't do ANYTHING special with the open world this time around. It's just sooo underwhelming.

I agree, no difference in environments and the encounters were very much the same

much more of an energy sword person myself ;) just something about the menacing red glow of the elite bloodblade and it's damage output is god damn g o r g e o u s

I mean did u think it was supposed to just be a name

Except now it’s amazing again

Well what happened?
