343 needs a shakeup badly. Get Stinkles bald ass out of there. They are easily the most unproductive AAA studio in the industry. Halo Infinite is a fun game but it feels like it’s still in beta.
Yeah, I do think they will double the map count. There’s not a lot to double.You think they're going to double their map count in the next 12 months when they can barely put out two maps in six months time? And only one of those maps is going to be in the game's most played mode.
Unless they've got a team somewhere secretly working to port a bunch of legacy maps to Infinite, nothing about what 343i has done with Infinite since launch supports that level of hope.
Ya know... that's a good point, actually.Yeah, I do think they will double the map count. There’s not a lot to double.
Stinkles….long time I have not heard this name. Left us for REEEEE and then got gang bang by them.343 needs a shakeup badly. Get Stinkles bald ass out of there. They are easily the most unproductive AAA studio in the industry. Halo Infinite is a fun game but it feels like it’s still in beta.
Yeah,no. if you just kept queing for matches the amount of afk'ers would be super annoying. Its bad enough in warzone.The worst part is that every time a match ends you're being thrown out from matchmaking and have to manually start again, so unlike other games you're not in this sort of a rotation where you're going through each map one by one. Ysterday I've played literally 80-90% of the games on Launch Site, not even once on Streets or Bazaar, now that's depressing.
To be fair they did say there looking into it but...
But yeah... built from the ground up to never do that... wonder why they made it so difficult...
But how long will this take to do? At least months given their pace.
Where are the resources going? What excuse is there for no co-op? That's not being done by the MP team. It's still technically party of the campaign.With the exception of Overwatch 2, of all the big AAA modern multiplayer FPS titles, Halo actually has the smallest team.
- Co-op campaign mid season
- New BP with 1000 credits in it
- 2 new armour cores
- New Fractures event
- New unknown events
- 2 new maps
- Generally new cosmetics in event BPs and regular BPs
- What looks to be some sort of plot development
- Infinite weapon drills and expanded academy (According to a blog post)
- 2 new gamemodes (and possibly more since 343 didn't announce all the new gamemodes at the start of season 1 too)
Amen. Although you’d think it still wasn’t coming according to some of the replies in here!Co op mid season? Fuckin finally
For a free to play game that relies entirely on people buying new content all the time this is one hell of a slow trickle. It's as if 343 don't understand what is required to keep free to play games going after launch.
Amen. Although you’d think it still wasn’t coming according to some of the replies in here!
Probably because it shouldn't be "coming." It should've already been here.Amen. Although you’d think it still wasn’t coming according to some of the replies in here!
No coop though.
Then the OP should be updated to accurately reflect the information we have.The very first line in the OP - coop campaign mid season!
343 *expects* the mode to be available *sometime* during season 2. They also expected that it would be available in tandem with season 2. Before that, they expected it to be available on launch. I will believe it when I see it.As we heard in March, Halo Infinite’s cooperative campaign mode will not launch alongside season 2. In March, 343 Industries said it expects the mode to come sometime during the second season, but a release date hasn’t been announced.
This. Hopefully the extra time in season one has given them the chance to get get updates and the seasons out in a more timely manner.Armor cores having locked cosmetics is being transitioned away from and coop is coming in season 2 just not on day 1. Seasons will be 3 months now not 6. Looks good to me
This. Hopefully the extra time in season one has given them the chance to get get updates and the seasons out in a more timely manner.
The amount of concern trolling about this game is off the charts. I played it until a month or 2 ago and had a great time with it. Will jump back in for the season and drop off when i get bored again.
I can't believe this dude and other fans of the game still give the battlepass and cosmetics so much of their energy. How is the lack of playable content not the #1 thing people are giving 343 negative feedback on? I'll wear default armour and colours all day if you give me more game to play.
and fix the fucking performance on PC already, my god. what a disappointment of a studio.
Did you see how long it took to launch the game? It's to be expected post launch support would be slow.2 new maps since release?
That's depressing.
Its like 343 pissed on your chips. I enjoyed my time with it and will return for season 2. Plenty of other games out there to enjoy mate.Lol clarky

Obviously the game came in super hot, but like i said hopefully the extra time in season 1 has given them the time to get a stuff out in a more timely manner(hopefully). Nothing to get your knickers in a twist over.
Hey, I’m a glass half full kind of guy! I fully expect to see coop at some point in season 2, like they are claiming.
Even in its ‘barebones’ state, I’ve already spent more time on this game than I have on most other games these past few years, and that time will only increase as these features finally roll out.
It’s a grower, not a shower!
The heck? I do. It's fun. I like it.Who cares about that

He got banned from there ages ago for farting in the wrong direction, your good.Seen that vid awhile in my feed but don't want to click because of Frank's head, I heard he posts on Reeeeeee
Fair enough
That's what you get for culturally appropriating Mexican food.He got banned from there ages ago for farting in the wrong direction, your good.
Where are the resources going? What excuse is there for no co-op? That's not being done by the MP team. It's still technically party of the campaign.
I meant the team for Halo Infinite in its entirety(Campaign+MP) is smaller than other AAA FPS titles with a multiplayer focus. Even though what we expect from a full Halo game needs a way more work than any of those(for starters a full single player open world campaign that is not meant to be serviceable for a multiplayer mode with co-op and a forge mode). And your question was "Don't they have 500+ people?" suggesting that somehow Halo has more resources than its competitors. Go read the development history of Halo titles, all of them with the exception of Halo Reach went through a cycle of development hell and crunch.Where are the resources going?
If you read the OP, co-op is coming mid this season. Its not like they didn't put any work into co-op. People have glitched into co-op since launch(although its a bit broken and will corrupt your save files). Turns out an open world game with player progression actually needs more effort to implement co-op than a linear one.What excuse is there for no co-op?
Its a part of the core gameplay sandbox(both campaign and MP).That's not being done by the MP team. It's still technically party of the campaign.
"Concern trolling" is a typical fanboy defense any time a game or company gets ragged on. Did you ever consider that maybe those "trolls" are fans of the franchise and have legitimate anger for legitimate reasons?This. Hopefully the extra time in season one has given them the chance to get get updates and the seasons out in a more timely manner.

Edit: Hopefully they sort the playlist out because after the kneejerk before Christmas, its a shit show just now.

What would you prefer? Season 3?Wait...adding co-op campaign....in season 2? Um..ok?
If Playground nails Fable, I'd like to see them take on Halo.I'm starting to wish Microsoft gave Halo to another studio, I thoroughly enjoyed the campaign and the gameplay is top tier, but launching with no multiplayer content and barely adding any after this long is inexcusable. It's one of the best IP's in gaming and yet there has been 2 Halos in a row that have launched barebones and missing important key features. I WANT to continue playing because what's there is good, but unless you want to play the same 3-4 maps over and over again 343 basically doesn't want you to play it. Whether they're too "proud" to use Bungie's content, too incompetent to reuse some of their maps, too blind to see that lack of content is a massive problem. Once they figured out how few maps were going to be there at launch they should have made it a priority to remaster some old maps both as a nostalgia play as well as a way to give some map variety so people wouldn't grow bored and move to other games. At the rate they're adding maps the next Xbox might be released before there's an acceptable amount of multiplayer maps in Halo Infinite, certainly won't be until the vast majority of people have moved on to another game
