Is Halo finally coming back?

Infinite always had a good foundation but lacked so much but I'm happy to see they're finally getting their groove back. I haven't tried season 5 yet but I'm glad it's getting more active. Had the game launched today with all of this content it would've been the only real "exclusive" imo from Microsoft that's legitimately worth talking about.

Angry Arthur fist playing due to being jealous about Spider-Man 2 coming out this week.

“I don’t need no stinking Same-Man 2…I’m gonna go play a REAL game!”

TYRONE GA!
This is how the game should've launched. Hopefully, other studios learn a valuable lesson that you can't launch a barebone MP game because it results in poor player retention. Unsure how long these players will stay, but I think the game is in good shape , and hopefully more give it a second chance

I liked the game, but it was definitely barebones as fukk.

Suits wanted their bonus checks more than putting out a finished product.

Halo been healthy on xbox since launch.

Steam numbers aren’t a very accurate indication of the games health.


As someone who played multiple alphas and betas and binged the game at launch, Infinite has definitely had its struggles as a live service game. First couple seasons lasted like 6 months each and had barely any content

Now they amount of matchmaking playlists has gone from 4 to 18, they’ve doubled up on maps and just added two new ones, forge provides even more endless content and they’ve improved the battle pass and overall progression system. I just got back into this earlier this week and I been very impressed and having a lot of fun playing again


They put the breh Pierre in charge and he righted the ship for them AGAIN :salute:

Oh i know they had some growing pains (as almost all service games do)

I was just saying the situation was never as dire as some people on the internet painted it.

I’ve never had to wait to get into a match, there’s been consistent players since launch even with the growing pains.
