@@armstronggaming8566 nope all of the knock back and gravity effects were not working last season if they were around. If anything they probably fixed the netcode a bit and it works more consistently and better
@@BigBladeFan definitely seems like a car by case scenario then, because I was launching both players and vehicles last season. Splattered myself in mid-air by launching a mongoose in BTB heavies last season. idk, well, if it's fixed it for you, then that can only be a good thing
Lots of great Forge improvements! File size cap increase as well as node cap increase are huge wins for me. My PT map has been stuck working around that cap for months. Hope 343 brings back Dee Bradley Baker for the Gravemind. Dude was iconic.
My #1 weapon wish is the magnum. Feels wrong having a Halo game without it. Only ODST gets the pass because you're an ODST in it and the pistol fits but the sidekick doesn't fit as a main pistol for a spartan.
It probably would have if the story wasn't cut, as the story set up infection with the banished ai and clearly was heading in a flood outbreak direction.
One of the best things about campaign AI in forge is that when you have friendly elites in your map, you can actually trade weapons with them like in Halo 2 and 3!
I agree and I do think this season is the best one yet but... I gotta say, I think it's silly that people keep bringing up "The Flood" as being back in the game. It's just some customization, nothing more. When I first saw the thumbnail for the presentation of season 5 I though maybe just maybe it had something to do with that Flood mode that got leaked long ago. Or maybe an overhaul to Infection or just something gameplay related, not just some ugly cosmetics lol. But overall I still think S5 is a huge W
Season 5 is just so refreshing, I've finally been able to get some of my buddies on the game who I've been trying to convince to play for two years now. The Forge mode really leads to infinite possibilities, and cross core helmets creates so much immediate creative freedom. The next thing I would love to see added to Forge would be an ocean Forge canvas, Halo 2 Anniversary style. And a remake of Forge World would be awesome lol.
What do you mean by a “proper gravity hammer?” I think the gravity hammer is perfect in the game, especially with the new update. It seems much more consistent and has actual gravity effects now.
@@DeadStawkerLol people just want everything awful from past Halos because theyre blinded by nostalgia. There are so many things I am so happy Infinite did away with
You said they need to add a proper grav hammer but the physics on it have been tweaked a lot this season to make it more in line with its older counterparts. Not quite exactly the same but it’s getting there
I swear the hammer in infinite is screwing me over in purpose. I hit people at less than a meter and I just knock the shields.. BUT whenever the enemy has it they hit me from the other half of the ring and instant kill
Love the passion in your voice when you tell us youre going to bring us flood lore videos. Im glad your youtube career is taking off, i remember us being around 12k! Floor lore videos = hours of recording and editing. I wish i was this excited to bust my butt at work! lol
It's been fun playing this season overall. It was hilarious getting my first match with you, and then we got absolutely destroyed. Nice bagging with you, Spartan
Wasn't it lore that upon a Flood infected Spartan, All UNSC ships are to fire their MAC Gun upon the infected Spartan? Not only MAC Guns but also Nukes. They are to fire everything they have in their aresenal to eliminate the infected Spartan, to prevent UNSC secrets from being shared to the Hivemind and elimination of possibly the most dangerous Flood to exist. What would the lore implication and story be considering season 5 has the flood infected Spartans? Of course they can just say its for Halloween and thats it so none of that is canon but if it is Canon, the story implications are scary
I don’t think the flood store armors are a problem cuz there’s also flood armors in the pass which look great and even come with less orange boils MY problem with the aesthetic is that it doesn’t go enough into body horror. You take these same designs but slide the head down behind the body to make room for a bulbous flood growth, and shove the hand limply aside like an unwanted obstruction in the way of the flood arm tendrils that hold the weapons instead. THATS the flood I want to see. S5’s aesthetic for flood looks more like the flood is growing ON the spartan rather than transforming them from the inside, but the growths themselves look rad
I love your content your videos are amazing but there is nothing that halo infinite can do to bring me back to the game I'm sorry it's too little too late 🙁
been playing infinite with some of my friends the past few days and its been a blast, most fun ive had playing halo since any of the 360 games, feels great!
I’ve been waiting for this video since the season 5 trailer dropped, and you did not disappoint. I did not know about that sandwich Easter egg. Btw cool fact about Prism, the battle in the background outside is actually between the banished and swords of sanghelios, would be a great level for an Arbiter- centered spin-off game. Great video!
After sinking the equivalent of 5 days worth of hours into Starfield, Halo infinite season 5, just stole all of my gaming attention. Me and my friends have been hopping on and playing in parties together, something we haven't done in months and months. To quote the actman, I can't believe I'm saying it but I'm having fun playing infinite! This is legitimately the most fun I've had since the game dropped and I was experiencing the multiplayer flights for the first time when everything was still fresh and new
I used to watch all your videos because halo was my favorite franchise, you were my audio stimulation when I played through every game on legendary. After Halo Infinite released and I played it I stopped being active in the halo community. Seeing you on my recommended again is a blast and hearing you talk about halo again is something I certainly missed and I didn’t even realize. I love your videos! Please keep up the excitement and fun commentary and I’ll get ready to get back into it, feet first into hell! 🔥❤
So hype with infinite rn. Been playing since launch and it has come such a long way. I just hope it finally get some of that original play base back and the traction it’s finally starting to deserve
Dude, holy fucking shit, NO. It's not happening. This is why Halo failed before. You need to be able to be realistic and admit successes and failures. The world is not coming back to Infinite. What you're seeing now are HALO players who quit Halo coming back. Is that a good thing? Yes. Is the "original player base" coming back? Absolutely fucking not. Never. It's. not. happening. Please, for fuck's sake
Personally I don't think I'll go back unless they rework the campaign or add a single player DLC. The story felt flat and unfinished, it was unsatisfying to play after the first few hours, and the map just felt empty. Yes the multiplayer is getting better now, but it still feels like it's missing something compared to past Halo's. If 343i wants to draw back the casual players and try to get some more new blood in the multiplayer, they'll need to have something other than cosmetics and battle passes. We were promised 10 years of infinite but taking almost 2 years to get to this point makes me feel cheated.
They’ve screwed the pooch with this game as they have for every release 343i has put out. You’d think they’d learn what makes a good launch but they never do. All of this should have been in the game at launch.
Unlocking armor by completing achievements? Brother those days are long gone. 343 doesn't care about that anymore. Play our limited time events or be stricken with fomo, and BUY BUY BUY those cosmetic packs. It's all a big money machine now. The good days are over.
About the orange boils... I think it would stick perfectly if they were a dark green tone instead of a bright orange, since I remember the flood in CE (especially the infection forms and carrier forms) emitting a weak green light similar to those boils (similar to the plants in 343 guilty spark), so I don't think they're that far appart from bungie's aesthetic (just made them green and not so brightly please, otherwise they look more like the lambent from gears 3).
and some things in h2 also have the green glow although hw2 was more yellow instead of orange but they got rid of the green glow in h2 and h3 for the most part
The Mark 5 should be unlocked by completing halo infinite on LASO, instead of having to buy it. My multiplayer Spartan in halo infinite is pretty much default because I have to pay to get cosmetics, whereas in other halo titles, my Spartan actually looks unique. Plus I’ve completed halo infinite on LASO (without tank gun), so it’s pretty much a free armor core for me XD
Hey man, great to see you back. The only two things I wanted to tell you, they fixed the Mangler and the went and fixed all versions of the gravity hammer- you can actually kill people with it and they have physics.
I'm SOO glad you touched on the orange boils for the flood armor, on top it being used as a generic template, glowing eyes and pores are also overused, probably emulating Fortnite and the way Fortnite zombies looked. Also, the tendrils should be coming out of the chest piece.
This season was the season i’ve been wanting! I took a break from Infinite from random crashes to server instability but it looks like its been shaping up! Can’t wait to get back into the fire
The way I would fix the pay wall problem with armor and stuff is you make it available through like season challenges or something like that and after the season is over you can place it in the shop, that way people who want it but couldn’t get the challenge done could pay for it but for the players would want it without buying it, you have to grind the challenges
Thank you very much for covering this! Your video was nice and smooth and easy to watch, while the others that were uploading weren’t(which isn’t their fault). Just thanks for your style
The Bandit Evo was something I thought wouldn’t be that big of an edition, but it’s my new favorite gun. So damn satisfying to use, I wish they would add a weapon drill for it.
I'm thinking about the monetization setup infinite has, would a reach-style system still work with f2p? Also, yes they need credits tied to playing, so f2p players can still get some stuff. Also they need to allow you to buy specific things from bundles, and allow you to buy anything ever, and not like have FOMO stuff. And for Christ's sake! CAMPAIN DLC!
I think the next big step is to have more reactive armor, I like the Flood concept but its a little sad that its all so static. Having those parts pulsing and moving around would of been the cherry ontop.
I think Halo YTers just overreact to everything. They all overreacted to Season 3 getting delayed and got half of the Halo community screeching that the game was dead, now they're all like "wOw are these fucking armor skins actually the thing Halo has needed for years??" Can't stand it. Game fun.
Something wasn't sitting right with me with the Flood Aesthetics and you nailed it on the head what I couldn't put into words, it's those pustule things, looks fine but looks off to me and would love to see some variants at least more in the original style.
Because they still have customization locked behind a paywall, I am still not interested in playing. One of two things needs to happen to get me back into Halo. Either, options for custom armor in campaign/coop Or removal of customization from the paywall. Or at the very least give me other options to unlock some/all of it beyond just grinding the PvP clusterfuck like you USED to be able to do in prior Halos.
The biggest thing for me is that the store doesn’t have a catalog. It should have every item up for individual sale. I hate going to the armoury and seeing “unavailable, released during season 2 etc” They all should be available for purchase. Miss a weekly from coating? Drop that in the store for 3-4 bucks and I might buy it if I like it enough. The store itself doesn’t do Halo any favours by just being a terrible store.
I never thought I’d see HiddenX so lukewarm on the inclusion of the flood 😂. I thought he would be over the moon about it, but when you love something so much it has to be just perfect I guess.
Season 5 is incredible and I'm happy 343i have finally hit their stride with Infinite. I sure hope this means they can shift a bit of focus to expanding the sandbox now. I miss my boy the Plasma Rifle. The Pulse Carbine doesn't compare at all lmao I'd also love to see the Rail Gun and Mantis return. Some love to the Reclaimer Saga would be really nice to see :)
Mark V should have ben locked behind LASO completion. no, i'm not crazy. think: it would show you are a god at halo, and it's fresh, while also being a classic.
I feel like adding the flood in a upcoming season would be perfect. I really thought that’s what was gonna happen in the campaign dlc… sadly we never got any… but I’m still holding out hope. They drop some flood firefight or something… but I think they are holding back the flood for the next game maybe?
FloODST: Zeta Halo On the other side of the ring, Helljumpers are the first to discover that a Flood sylix has been opened by the Endless. Communications are knocked out, and it’s a gritty and dark race to reestablish comms to contact chief and the weapon to cleanse the outbreak. When they can’t be reached (for some reason), and the flood are closing in on the three surviving ODSTs, Jerome drops in to save them and tells them that the Spirit of Fire heard their distress call. The SoF crew hold back the flood, while the ODSTS and a small detachment of Spartans journey across the ring to reach the remaining crew of the Infinity and Chief.
Playable elites by adding invasion, imagine Season 6 titled “Invasion” and its halo reach theme with max rank giving you the haunted helmet and then you get the Invasion game mode then realize holy shit I can be an elite then they give us revamped halo 3 elite armors along with reach ones then we can go off that and make our own. This update would bring Infinite where it should’ve been from the start and on top of that 90% of the player base will be back for this update to play as a elite.
Biggest issue I have with Gungnir is that they decided to gut the attachments the same way they did with Stormfall. Why make the faceplate/visor locked behind an attachment and make the weird skeleton of the helmet the default?
More feminine body types would be appreciated. I understand the inclusivity but by having no body types that represent a women well, all my Spartans feel like guys no matter what. It actually does the opposite and makes it feel less inclusive. The body types we have not literally only change the waist width.
I don't know why but I don't like the new flood customization. (the non animated ones) It looks plastic and fake. Like they made a 3d printed Mold of flood walls and put it on top of the armor like the spartan is trying to cosplay being infected. It doesn't look bad, it just looks kinda fake.
Touching on the unlocking armors through challenges and mind you someone might have already made this point but I just didn't read the comment. I don't think it would be a problem to have unlockable armors behind a paywall, while also being able to unlock them through challenges or achievements
Honestly I would love to see the spartan laser it's just iconic and I always found it to be quite solid and fun you knew what you were getting with it despite it being a big as laser gun.
The armor looks bad it's mainly hunks of flood flesh put on the armor I'm not unlocking any of it. Plus infinite plays to much like cod, Halo isn't Halo anymore none of the maps with tanks are good for the tanks and the vehicles have the health of wet tissue paper, then there's the twenty different ways to emp vehicles.
I’m not playing that game again until they add more story content into the campaign. Fuck 343, some people aren’t interested in the pvp, I just want an actual story.
I much rather just have a single Flood core with every armor having a flood variant for it and it being a battlepass or something. And yeah, the flood stuff looks... eh. I would like to get the one with the skull showing through the helmet. Also, it's pretty good. I will play a lot more once Firefight releases, and hopefully once Firefight is fully out, they can get that Campaign DLC working.
Hidden Xperia I just realize something remember what the primordial said about how, humanity will have their test with the flood when they’re ripe I think this is the situation I think, humanities ripe, and now the flood and the humans are going to have a war but it’s just a hunch
I completely agree with you on the armor being locked behind paywalls. More of them need to be earnable, because of this it still feels like customization is insanely restrictive.
Agree on the cosmetics bit. I know every game is doing it but one of the best parts of the glory days of halo was unlocking cool ass armor by earning it in sometimes the most difficult ways in game. As many things they’re stuffing in the cash shop they need to be making in game unlockables that are on par with the paid cosmetics
I disagree I don’t really have the time to be doing a bunch of challenges just to unlock a cool set of armor. Let me pay for it so I can play using it already.
I was hoping that 343 could do some sort of thing like destiny does with its raids cause you can certainly make a “raid” in halo to continue the story somehow and put lots of lore tidbits. My idea was making it into an operation, but instead of all the rewards being in the battle pass, half of them are unlocked through achievements, and the other half through a 10 tier battle pass. Maybe some achievements would just be very simple like get a full clear of this raid/dungeon/excursion activity, to even something like complete it without any deaths on your team
@@sandburgbilly381 While I could see that. As a veteran Destiny player as well, I don't wanna have to put in so much grind for another franchise I like. Also, what's the reward even supposed to be: enormous XP and spartan points?
im not saying it should be a grind, it should be something like a complete this a few times if you want some helmets or armor, no rng drops, literally just do the achievements, and get some rewards such as helmets, coatings, emblems, effects, etc, just basic drops from seasonal events, but lock some of them behind achievements instead of just battle pass xp. Achievements shouldn't be like do this 100 times, but something more challenging than tedious like a flawless raid.@@aztumtheknightofwumbo7060
I wouldn't get the hopes up. Just...... Keep it in the middle. I'm glad and happy for the new original maps but screw the reinvented/reimagined lazy forge maps though. Halo having the same service as PUBG or Fortnite is already something bad. We shouldn't support them or praise them. We already know the story of the free and super wide customization we used to have. THE FREE COLORS FOR GOODNESS SAKE. This isn't Destiny! Everything we are experiencing should have been since launch. Praising 343 for these late releases or paywalls is not healthy or good. For them. Though I'm glad they are trying, that effort should have been added and used in those literal 10 years of development.
@@xXsillysussyXx yes, I do. More like, I used to. The only good thing I'm glad 343 created is MCC since I'm able to play and relive the good old days. Playing that "thing" (Infinite) we have now? Yikes! No. The campaign was disappointing and bait enough to play Infinite. What's the word y'all use? Fumble... Infinite is a big fumble. Have I seen or played a Forge remake map in Halo Infinite by the lazy devs? Yes and yes. But! I don't support the idea of resorting to use Forge for lazy remakes. If 343 is going to do that, they should make good remade maps and they proved to us that they can use their time and create good maps outside Forge. They owe us that.
Ok ok hear me out when you complete the campaign if you stay for long enough you start to hear marines, reporting parties going missing and then you hear like audio of like flood, screaming the distance and then eventually you see like flood biomass starts slowly coming into the map and then combat forms start to be in the map
The Flood stuff is awesome. Wish the best parts weren’t in the shop. Really monetization is the worst part of this game now. Maybe honestly the only bad part about this game at the moment.
Next thing they need to fix is the micro-transactions and the rank system i should not have to spend a weeks worth of time to get out of plat 3 to hit plat 4 going 20n6 and earn 5sr.
20:15 343 seems to make it a habit of squashing in the front of the helmets. Kinda wish scout wasn't so short, agree that gungnir shouldn't be so short, kinda wish a lot of helmets weren't so short that it looks as if the helmet is replacing the front of the spartan's head.
Never stop bringing up campaign. The fact that the SP team was gutted and the story ending on a cliffhanger, Halo story can’t end there for as long as it probably will.
All we need now is: - Live Service Story - Campaign DLC - More Blood (M Rating) - Full Cross Core - Battle Royale - Arcade Games (Grifball) - Spartan Ops - Playable Elites Then we Gucci.
I feel like Dominion was the coolest mode of Halo 4. If they were gonna bring back a mode from H4, I feel like they should've brought back Dominion instead of Extraction, which just feels like a variant of KoTH.
Dude dominion was the best mode in Halo 4. I agree that it should have been added in infinite instead of extraction, maybe we can get in a future season 🤞
