343 keeps pushing me away from halo Infinite . Lifetime player . They take out fun glitches but can't get coop up amd runnin.

[FreeBirdA-tszi]

What I find to be a real kick in the teeth is that 343I participated in a Developers React on IGN to SasquatchSensei’s (at the time) world record speedrun. Then, two months later, they patched out almost every single glitch that made that very speedrun possible, which they seemed to enjoy watching. Their Developers React is now POINTLESS. I bet they used that very video as information and created a template for what to remove. The speedrun is completely ruined now and requires a downpatch. I hope 343I go bankrupt.

the scorpion gun I honestly thought was a weird change. It was similar to the halo 2 scarab gun so I thought that it would remain or be changed from a glitch to be a full fledged feature. Generally, I stopped playing halo infinite a long time ago. I only kept up with the changes mostly to see where they were taking the game. I jumped on the 3rd to look at season 2 for the game and It really didn't add up to much of anything.

When you talk about the 10 year plan, I honestly doubt there actually is one. From the campaign perspective, the campaign itself was very below average for a halo campaign in terms of story and replayability. After I finished it with my friends, we talked about the campaign and we all agreed that, even when campaign co-op/mission replay comes, it wasn't good enough for us to take time and replay the game. like, I barely remember any of the missions myself cause of just how much the game copy/pastes bits and pieces. Also I found it was far too easy for me, heroic was a joke, I beat it with the same two weapons for basically the entire campaign(mangler and stalker rifle, the best weapon combo without the scorpion cannon that wasn't discovered until after I beat it). In terms of the multiplayer, I went back to MCC. Season 2 didn't excite me at all(I went in with the lowest expectations for it and it ended up below that) and I fully expect forge isn't dropping till sometime next year and it will probably break the game somehow to a point that forge won't be fully fixed until another year after.

I feel bad for the speed runners though for halo infinite. The skill those guys have is amazing and watching them push a game to its limits is amazing. Plus gives Summoning Salt good material for his history speedrun documentary style videos, which are amazing. I also feel for the content creators cause you can see, by just watching the state of halo by arrash and crew, how the hope for this game is just gone. Honestly, we all were burned by halo infinite. It was a game that set huge expectations pre-launch and crash landed on launch(much like other popular FPS games we know, even if it was the best crash landing of the three, it was still a crash landing).

To summarize and end this long comment, Halo infinite isn't going to last 10 years(either multiplayer or campaign) and I think the discontent from the community with the game has dictated its future.

PS. I haven't watch a video of yours in a while, but I want to say that I still use your halo reach tricks to this day in my legendary non-professional speedruns.

i used a number of those glitches to get to places faster. i didnt use the scorpion gun. i did not know that even exsisted. i used tyrants halo wars 2 legnedary walkthrough to complete halo wars 2 on legendary. his strageties for the missions that required holding out were super beneficial to high levels.

but infinite I don't seeing it lasting a year if they keep going down this road patching out glitches that do no harm to gameplay but benefit the player to reach locations faster. sure the 2 new multiplayer maps are kool along with the new gamemodes, but other games out there are surpassing infinite in Player Population. i've seen 140k players on MCC over infinite which is a clear sign of infinite popularity.

If they’re going to remove things like this, they need to give a compelling case for why it negatively affects other, more important things in-game. If they don’t, it looks lazy and petty.

[djrare]

So, back in H5 they had a pretty cool armor that you could unlock if you finished all five campaigns on legendary. I sat down and grinded out all five games, mostly using a mix of your guides and Eli's speed strats.
Present day, i have played through infinite's campaign just once on easy. Haven't even bothered with MP. And the only thing that has had me briefly consider going through it again, was a legendary run with the scorpion gun. So 343 is actively making me less likely to return.

I think they've shown by now that they're fully capable of making a good Halo, but their decision making is imo in a steady decline.

Thank you for your time and commitment mr Tyrant sir. Out of all the halo youtubers, i feel you are one of very few that can accuratly represent me as a halo fan.

[st_Amendment_Is_My_Right]

Elon Musk needs to buy 343i and fire all management at 343. Then try to hire old Bungie employees.

[bubbajoe]

"Halo infinite is in dire need of post launch support and updates"

"Oh fuck go back"

Essentially the tale of the whole situation lmao, honestly this is starting to feel more than a tad bit intentionally spiteful from 343 given all that's been said by them after the TV show flop too.

[CallumMcCartney]

So they won't fix the glitch where certain locations are soft locked for me to capture but they'll 'fix' the things I found fun in the game? I've defended 343 long enough but this update finally got me to uninstall the game

[deusnightfire]

I'm pretty disappointed with the removal of glitches...

[alphacoffeesins]

Okay if Halo infinite the same balls Halo wars 2 brought the table would have a better game

[Dayze]

Micro managing while pushing micro transactions. Not a player friendly company policy.

[dovahktheking]

I think the pelican can work beautiful in the co-op campaign because there are 2 positions in the cockpit. I will miss The pelican with it’s majestic lending gear

[DrOmnipotent]

Thanks for the content. Thats super disappointing to me. I love campaign glitching in Halo since CE. Its a huge part of the replay experience. Im mad sad I never got to pilot a pelican in the open world I have been trying to do that one forever...dang.

Anyway have a good one yall

[totallyahuman.]

If a couple of random glitches are so threatening to co-op experience that 343i has to being remove so, then I can't help but wonder how unstable actual co-op is at present. I'm very worried that we're going to have another 2042 moment going on here.

[Mkdexxa]

I'm tired of the no fun allowed of 343i take on Halo, only our way of playing that we envisioned is allowed

[mudmonkeymagic]

You better finish that new guide real quick before the mini Tyrant comes along! Congrats!

[buck]

Sad stuff. I still play halo reach, halo 3 and older...and I enjoy it a lot more I mean that has to be a sign when millions of people enjoy those games much more than new eye candy ones.

[andrewr]

I just wanted achievements turned off when picking up the tank gun

[Aceriex]

as i said in your initial video that don't fix what isn't broken, yet here we are, seeing things that aren't broken gets fixed.

i honestly won't be surprised if they proceed to fix more stuff that aren't even broken in future updates. also, congrats on being a father \o/
