Halo Infinite Dev Responds To Frustrated Fans, Asks For Patience

While delays suck, I'll ALWAYS accept it if it helps make the game better. I have really cut back on AAA games these days as I'm sick of them being so bug ridden at launch. So that has led me to waiting for massive price drops before I buy anything anymore.

343, take your time and do it right, Halo deserves it and so does it's fans.

You're going to need Cortana on a stripper pole to save this game.

i can wait hated 5 so please take your time.

Not to hate but I think I played 3 Halo games and when I look at that trailer I feel like I`ve been in that exact battle against those same enemies with the same image quality and backdrop and gun sounds three times before.

The one difference I can see (I'm probably wrong on this since I'm not very knowledgeable in things related to Halo) is that I don't think there was that revolver type gun in other Halo games.

There doesn't seem to be much diversity in that franchise, though I did kindof enjoy Halo Reach (I think most people didn't like it?) but as is always the case with Halo games i found the guns very underwhelming. I only like the needler and the ammunition for it is in short supply

I wish I could understand what people see in Halo. Maybe the multiplayer? Never tried it out. Only some couch coop back when you could drive a jeep with a friend.

Wish Sony had this much dedication trying to push Resistance. Best console fps franchise imo (if you scrap Burning Skies). So much environmental and lore potential. Insomniac should give it another try. Spiderman was good but nothing we haven't played a thousand times before.

Up to 500 million dollars to develop this game and what they got to show for it is craig. Witcher 3 cost around 85 million dollars to make and GTA5 was around 265 million dollars. They are 5 to 7 year-old games and look arguably better than what the Halo Infinite demo showed us.

Do I even have to make a point here on what to expect? Otherwise prepare yourself for massive disappointment.

Patience is one of the greatest virtues a person can have after all.

I wonder how many of the people complaining about the delays are the same people who complained about the quality of the graphics and expected improvements? The game is taking a long time though - it was about 3 years between Halo 4 and Halo 5 and its going on 5 years waiting for Infinite. They really wanted to have the game ready for the XsX launch and knew the damage not having it launch would cause but they delayed the game anyway. So are they inept or are they taking the heat to make sure the game is as good as it can be? After Halo 5's campaign being meh, I'm hoping its the latter and am willing to wait as long as necessary in order to get a great game rather than a piss poor campaign like Guardians. The games have been slowly going down in quality with each iteration. They need to stop that trend before more people start getting Halo fatigue.

I'm seeing this more and more in the news media. Why do I care what random people think? I have my own opinions on things and don't need the words of others to form it.

Not trying to be rude here or disrespect the author. I'm recently noticing a glut of articles that gathers a few tweets and tries to make it a thing.

I feel like this article comes out once a month

i rather have angry people than not give a damn... sums up the world pretty well

also i finally installed and played the mcc on pc and well... i still love the games but the online seems dead and messed up. for one i could understand the frag hunters in objective games when the games were new and kd ratio was shown everywhere front and center. but seeing that 1/4th of the few people playing now years later like to just get a power weapon and go somewhere near the objective to get as many kills as possible while objective score is 0 just baffles. playing about decade old games and still standing in a corner.

also the fact how few people have gotten really basic achievements.

Development is a train wreck. This was supposed to be their system seller!?

Cyberpunk 2077 is coming out in under 2 weeks.

They don't need to rush this game.

If people didn't complain about how abysmal the game looked during the demo, that demo is how the final game would've been, and you'd be playing it right now. That dev thought it was enough 🤣And now they're asking fans to be patient. 343i are the ultimate meme of the gaming industry.

I wonder how many people bought a Series X thinking Infinite was going to be out this Holiday? It's on the back of the box lol.

@dorothynkk94: No

Can't wait for a 6/10 review when it releases in, say, 3 more years?

Turnover *CAN* be a healthy thing however, in 343's case with the Halo IP all signs have been pointing to a very bad thing. Ever since 343 was founded there's been reports of high turnover, outsourced freelance work and an overall attitude of "I just want Halo on my resume" among everyone involved since H4. I think with Infinite this very poorly structured studio has found itself at a crossroads of making a love letter to the fans and their past methods of production.

It still blows my mind to pieces that MS would treat their biggest IP this way. Why put together a whole new studio to outsource so much? I sincerely hope that this entire dev cycle hell kicks them in the balls and they start looking at more long term practices and stop saving a quick buck on cheap outsourced labor.
