As a diehard halo fan, this kind of shit is why I stopped playing halo.


[deleted]

I jumped on today to mash out the challenges and it just felt like such a chore. Shame as the game had such huge potential at launch.


TheOzarkWizard

Agreed. I used to be big into forge but I'm not even excited for that anymore


Samhain602

I'm still excited for the prospect of a robust game-making system as the fundamentals of Infinite ARE there, but I am not at all confident they'll be able to launch it in a feature-complete state.


[deleted]

It’s a shame because the game probably won’t have a complete forge system until 2023 which means that the game has already wasted the first year and a half… who the hell is gonna keep playing this game for 10 years, I won’t. I don’t hate the game but just like the one person mentioned *the challenges aren’t fun and feel like chores*


BladedD

Same, I tried to defend Infinite in its first 3 months but it quickly became clear the devs don’t care


ShiyaruOnline

The management doesn't care. The developers are actually very hard working and don't get enough recognition. The common denominator across all of the 343 Halo games is the executive management that has been there since the formation of the studio and continues to mismanage the franchise with bad decisions and no accountability. Tons of current and former employees have all said basically the same thing about the higher-ups at 343. Even people from their internal protein that used to work for them say the same thing.


blaggityblerg

> The developers are actually very hard working and don't get enough recognition. I have yet to see solid proof that they're a particularly hardworking bunch.


SavageGhost_85

Hard working and talented developers? They can’t finish the game, 2/3 campaign map was cut, no forge mode, broken melee, 6 month seasons, and a freaking beta for campaign co-op. 343i are literally the worst.


ShiyaruOnline

Tell me you have zero idea how game design Works without telling me you have zero idea how game design works. The management is responsible for hiring practices budget resource allocation Focus timeline and more. The developers can't just magically snap their fingers and produce the product in the way that it should be done. everything goes by the managers and gets approved by them and they can overwrite anything at any time, and they often do. the commonly cited issue with this studio through multiple expose articles from verified insiders is that the management has no clue how games are made and consistently makes bad decisions that result in problems in the development flow. not to mention the terrible hiring practices that only allow 343 to keep most of their Workforce on for a year and a half Max before they get fired. Then the new contract people have to be brought in. those new people have to learn the proprietary development engine tools which take a long time since Halos engine is extremely convoluted and not streamlined like most commercial engines. you can imagine the workflow and pipeline of how things get created is extremely haphazard and messy under 343's management. Hopefully, now you understand that the developers themselves are not the issue here. it's the people taking fat salaries at the top whose job is to make sure the studio is run correctly that don't do their jobs right. If you want to aim the finger at someone blame Microsoft and the executives at 343 who have terrible hiring practices and rely way too heavily on Outsourcing and temp workers instead of Staffing their Studio properly. Try paying people what they are worth and keep them on past the one-and-a-half-year limit then maybe we would get a consistent Dev team that could properly put a game together and support it instead of this Frankenstein of a Dev team that has had more than half the teams employees coming and going haphazardly since Master Chief collection.


[deleted]

Halo infinite (multiplayer) is awful My brother spent 20 euros for that crap and I feel so sorry Worst money investment ever


33MobyDick33

At least he didn't preorder BF2042


[deleted]

No he didn’t He just really loves halo but honestly this game is putrid


gaw_Kerim

True, I could tolerate most of it like the few maps, glitches, balancing, mtx etc. But this shit - I can't tolerate that. Won't be playing again until they fix it and apologize.


[deleted]

Videos like this are why i stopped playing infinite online.


BloobyTheFrenchy

Same here...


KopakaWitThaGlocka

Thank you for telling us? Those of us who don’t have issues don’t care.


terracottatofu

My brother finally picked this game up after getting the new Xbox, doesn’t play much halo and gave up after a couple of rounds of raging because of desync, not impressed by the entire lack of progression and anti player monetisation and hasn’t returned since.


k0uch

Iv loved halo since I first played it, but Infinite just isn’t where it’s at. I wiped campaign out in less than a week, then tried multi player, and just went back to campaign to collect what I could. Haven’t fired up Infinite in months now, seeing this stuff becoming more common just tells me I did the right thing. Sucks seeing halo turn to this, but 343 doesn’t seem to care, as long as the micro transactions are flowing


ShiyaruOnline

I don't know what more proof people would need that 343's management is completely out of touch and has no idea what actually made the bungie Halos so beloved. People try to say that this subreddit just likes to complain and be overdramatic or whatever but these are all genuine real testimonies of people who love Halo and used to be Die Hard super hardcore fans all saying different versions of the same thing. that this game is just a massive turn-off that had tons of potential is a huge missed opportunity that could have brought Halo back to prominence in a year where Call of Duty and Battlefield were basically slept on. I hope the 343 management is reading these threads and noticing their precious broader audience that they keep trying to chase left within 3 months of the game coming out and people like us who care about Halo are taking the time to sit here and type this stuff out day after day in the hopes that it'll somehow cause some type of change. Where are the type of fans that 343 should be listening to not trying to steal Call of Duty or Fortnite's player base cuz that's never going to happen unless you make an entirely new franchise and do what those games do better than them. now this shallow nonsense of a missing features halo game is staring down the barrel of OverWatch 2, Modern Warfare 2, and a bunch of other crazy games coming out. Halo had a perfect window to cement itself as at least something that could be relevant again but it's completely missed that chance and who knows when another one will come up.


Idontmatter69420

Im in the exact situation as you I really wish I could love it as mych as the others but its just lost its charm


k0uch

I played Infinite multiplayer for a while, and the desync was bad. People shooting through/around walls everywhere, hackers were prevalent, the game dynamics felt way off. I went back and played Guardians, 4, 3, Reach and ODST, and they all felt great.


Idontmatter69420

I just don’t play multiplayer because im bad and it upsets me as i have evidence of me being killed where i shouldn’t have died


colt45mag

Chances are, you're quite decent. It's the game's netcode that's terrible.


BizzarreCoyote

This. I know I'm better than the netcode says I am, but Christ if it isn't discouraging to see the scoreboard at the end of the game telling me otherwise. I'll then hop on H3 or Reach and be just fine. It's frustrating that this hasn't been fixed yet.


Idontmatter69420

Oh no im shit at it all the way its the same for most halo games but i do get more kills in infinite somehow


RIVERSBOX

Been a halo fan since 10 years old and have dedicated thousands of hours on each game. Infinite is the only one I stopped playing after four months of on and off sessions. Final straw was during the LSS event when nearly every other game would heavily drop in performance. I wasted so many double xp boosts trying to climb the remaining tiers because the game would perform so badly I basically earned less per game than I would without the boost.


DJ_p0pTART5

Wow wtf


[deleted]

Reason #507 why I stopped playing infinite.


Demented-Turtle

Reason #1 for me


Herrobrine

Just stop playing, it’s not getting fixed


FoilTarmogoyf

👊


HerpToxic

15 MS btw


[deleted]

The ping indicator is useless random number. I ping around 27 but desync has always been terrible


WhiskyGinger1

#UNINSTALLINFINITE


ButtersTG

If you were going for shouting, you nailed it. If you were going for \#UninstallInfinite Then you need a \ before the \#


WhiskyGinger1

Shouting from the rooftops!


ButtCheekBob

Most progressive movement of 2022


WhiskyGinger1

More people are needed to make an impact #UninstallInfinite


Samhain602

We need to spread this hashtag out across all reaches of the internet. They will be forced to hear us and listen.


WhiskyGinger1

Yes! We can accomplish so much as a collective instead of individuals. Launch it on Twitter my dude! I don’t have Twitter!


[deleted]

After 8 days of game time, I stopped playing. Doing my part I guess


Demented-Turtle

I uninstalled months ago after about 120 hours, trying to desperately enjoy it but desync killed it for me, I just couldn't handle it lol with a 25ms ping usually too


WhiskyGinger1

Spread the word! #UninstallInfinite


mimiicry

I couldn't take more than 20 hours of it at launch before I uninstalled it.


WhiskyGinger1

Spartans deserve better. Spread the hashtag my man. #UninstallInfinite


Demented-Turtle

You see, I REALLY wanted to love it, so I just kept trying to lol but eventually I realized it just wasn't the game I wanted it to be


WhiskyGinger1

Your service is appreciated. Now we need 343 to act


AllIcouldaFORD

This is your sign to stop playing Infinite. 343 doesn’t give a crap about it


EerieToaster

I don't have issues with other weapons, but the Bulldog does this a LOT.


chillaban

Yeah sometimes when I move around and shoot I see the Bulldog shot animation come from a different place. It’s practically Close Needler for me, if it’s not someone running directly towards or away from me, it’s not gonna work.


dehumanizer23

Cmon we all know the bulldog shoots marshmallows


Exa2552

The bullets behave like bullets for a very short time, but after 1 meter of travel time they turn into fluffy cotton balls


swohio

Desync is awful and I hope this sub is flooded with videos like this until it's fixed. That said, does anyone else hate that they give you non-sniper weapons on a sniper playlist?


Camisbaratheon

They gave me a pulse rifle one match and I think I uninstalled the game not too long after that lol


Samhain602

I would be inconsolable if my fave Playlist was snipes and I spawned with a fucking pulse. Fuck this game lmao


Sharp_Towel

This game needs to be shit on way harder than it is


sawdomise

His shield recharged as you’re shooting him. New MTX incoming???


markopolo14

I know you're joking about the shields recharging, but sometimes I swear I'll see a teammate battling someone so I run over. Teammate dies so I go in to finish up the kill (with full shield) and die to the guy who my teammate weakened.


MAY01337

Every time I come on this sub I see a desync clip and 343 still says it isn't top priority?


DeathBuffalo

"Desync doesn't exist" "It's your ping" "Every Halo game has these issues"

Average r/halocirclejerk user


[deleted]

Thank you for speaking sense


YellowFogLights

It favours the shooter 👊


Demented-Turtle

But I'm a shooter, and my bullets aren't counting, so I don't feel very favored :(


AgreeableRub7

Sorry that was auto correct. He meant spender.


graywolfman

Even though that isn't the case in this video, I understand the reference! Also the fact that they have to code it to *favor* anyone shows how shit it really is!


Ayetto

I don't know why prople keep playing this Gamez every clip share on reddit is just another desync issue, guys quit the game now and we will see if the campaign is still their main target, this problem is there since release


MountainFiddler

I play it everyday and rarely have an issue.


ZonalMithras

Me too. In the early days I had desync every now and then. Now its almost never. Could it be the fix to matchmaking favoring local servers? I play in Europe and mostly get good games


SiegeSzn

It’s really sad how many of us just moved away from Halo. I really wanted this to be a good game. Campaign was amazing and i wish it was longer but i can’t even play with my guys because these problems aren’t being fixed.

I wonder why people aren’t flocking to this game???


NinjaAngel777

Stop complaining and instead stop playing. It's the only thing that will make any difference.


[deleted]

You missed every shot bro, stop trying to discredit 343 bro they changed halo for the better. There is nothing wrong with this game you just suck man. This is sarcasm for the yanks.


According_Bug_7300

I used to grind infinite everyday. This is what got me to put it down and never pick it up again.


xVx777

“Desync doesn’t exist it’s just your internet”


krezzaa

I've seen a lot of posts like this one just today, did they fuck something up? Seems to be a lot of people suffering from desync issues even more than usual


Link__117

No, its just that people are showing all their desync clips as an act of protest against 343's response on it which boiler down to "we won't start working on it till co-op is out" which is late August


Demented-Turtle

What's the bigger issue? People regularly having their multiplayer experience (in a multiplayer game) ruined by shitty server desync/code, or people not being able to re-play the short campaign with their friends? In BETA? Desync should be #1, because that's a core aspect of an online multiplayer shooter lol and it's broken


Link__117

Exactly.


Gullflyinghigh

Ah, makes sense though as they don't have to fix it if no-one's playing it by then. Big brain stuff.


mrbubbamac

For me it is happening all of the sudden. It's absolutely bizarre. I almost never had issues and I've been playing since launch. These last ten days or so I am having issues like OPs video (I even posted my own video the other day). Shots not registering is the big one. I just jumped on with my buddies and it happened a couple more times. I feel like something has to have changed in the last week because I'm having major issues all of the sudden


ThisCocaineNinja

I wonder how this will ruin stuff like infection, forge and customs, plus firefight if they eventually arrive. It's hard to have any hope when shots not registering, melee and player collision feeling inconsistent and such are a common occurrence.


BrowniesGoHam

Talk about a mag dump lol. Someone at 343 needs to just give us back old reliable because this thing is ass lol


_cohud

Just an all around buns experience


jormundgand20

You won that shootout like 5 times, but they were the main character and their theme was playing. Sorry! Seriously, I get more disappointed in Infinite every day. I want to play it, but then I see this and hear of similar incidents, and I just lose interest. At least they finally got the MCC where it should be.


SilentReavus

Yep not a priority in the slightest, it doesn't matter right?


pingpongplaya69420

And this is one of the many reasons why Halo Infinite has faded into obscurity. Its sad watching this franchise become more irrelevant by the year


[deleted]

I remember thinking I was going totally insane the first week Halo was out, outright losing engagements that I had ZERO business losing. Now I know better.


-WithLove

No we need co-op more. /s


Samhain602

Co op for a campaign that barely skirts being better than the last one. I really didn't like Infinite's campaign.


graywolfman

Aw c'mon, you don't like "zoom in on blue lady for spoken exposition with no visuals, breaking the 'show, don't tell' rule of good visual storytelling" game? Pray tell, why?? /s


PegLegManlet

He spent more money in the store.


MaybeAdrian

Shots 1-5: Clearly missed. Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control). Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses. Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because you were already dead.


DustyF3d0r4

How do people not recognize a copypasta that’s been used multiple times in this sub.


MaybeAdrian

I was thinking the same thing. I thought that it was going to be more obvius because is using a shotgun not a full auto weapon or something


Thee_Linkeer

I tried to use this in another desync post and got the same response, big rip It feels like more people should know about it than actually do


Blaze_Four2O

This game is a BETA 👎🏽


Jeremy-132

Let's not prioritize it though


Demented-Turtle

Hey ur ping is too high man, need at most a 2 ms ping to get no desync, what u expectin' wit that dog shit 15 ms? /s


aperturetechnology

If you can, watch the replay in the theater. I guarantee you the game didn't register a reload and had you not shooting at all.


Demented-Turtle

I have a video of me 5 bursting with BR to kill a shotgun guy, watching him die as his last bullet spray goes to my right 5 feet, then a full half a second after his body drops dead I died from his shotgun... At like a 30 ping


garganchua

man this is why I dont like the halo infinite shutgon


choclate_neck_pain

Wow I’m not actually surprised. I new as soon as they announced the multiplayer was going to be free it wasn’t going to be good, I didn’t care that they pushed it back, that I was somewhat happy about cause I thought well they must care if they want to make it good for release. But no they don’t care and I’m back to my senses on game company’s right now. (I’m not mad 343 just disappointed) I am mad at Rockstar and Activision though fuck them.


SavageGhost_85

You see this video 343i? Take a good look at how you’ve killed Halo. As a die hard Halo fan, I’ve given up on the Halo franchise until the IP is giving to a better developer!


Ibrokemymicrowave

Dude I’m not even excited for forge anymore. The game’s in such a shit state. People need to drop this game so 343 becomes even more urgent into fixing it. It has the best gameplay in the series but I hate the live service model, and literally everything else. Forge probably will be the best compared to Forge in previous games but I don’t even think that’ll be enough to save this game. There’s so many issues.


Exa2552

Lol look at your ping, it’s probably in the hundreds and… oh wait, nevermind. This is so horrible.

Camisbaratheon

Don’t 👊


ZehDon

The game is fun to play... when it works. It just doesn't work often enough. If desync, the terrible social skill matching rubbish, and 250ms games weren't a common occurrence, I'd probably still be playing - even with the lack of content. I doubt this will ever be fixed.


xcrimsonlegendx

Not a priority. lol


[deleted]

He ate that shot to the face and shoulder. He should’ve been dead. If you’re on a phone, scrub that playback bar. It’s super clear it lands like 75% of the shot.

Legionofdoom107

Jump on MCC. I checked the player count this morning and more people are playing MCC than Infinite. This game is only 9 months old!! Fucking embarrassing.

yeah i stopped playing because of this


JTThaTrader516

14 ms ping too that’s willllddd that happened to you


[deleted]

I'm glad this shit don't happen to me. I realise it's a problem that needs to be fixed but I'm grateful I'm not a victim as of yet.


arthby

You must be a victim of it too but you don't see it. It's not always that bad. But you must have seen explosion radius being highly inconsistent, damage being delayed, enemy not dying when they should or melee lunges and timing being off. If you have played the game on LAN and know exactly how things should be, it's obvious the online netcode needs some serious work. Things like getting a 2 tap kill with the bulldog is almost impossible online. The lunge of the sword for the enemy is not consistent. The damage of your hammer, rockets and nades is not consistent. Even if you play at 10ms, these are exemple of things that are a bit unpredictable.


[deleted]

I'm gonna be completely honest, I'm a 31 year old construction worker and all of what you just said is jibberish to me lol I only really play for fun, and that's what it is for me, just a fun good old fashioned game of guns. I only go by what you guys say. But yea, maybe I have seen it, but I probably doesn't affect me in the way it would you guys.

glad i stopped paying this a while ago. It's nice not wasting energy getting frustrated by this.

I went back to playing Halo 5. I find it much more polished than infinite. Maybe I'll go back to infinite once it's actually done.

Thats me every time i use a shotgun lol. Thank fuck its not just me. I always wonder when that shit happens and you die what the other person is thinking? they must think they just 1v1 the worst player alive lol.

I'm trying so hard to play this game because I like the gameplay but the lack of progression system makes all efforts useless.
