It actually feels embarrassing to have assumed the devs would do a decent job at "porting" 2 games that were already available on PC, but even crazier they managed to make it 63 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gigabytes. Genuinely, how is that even possible?

Go ahead, please humor me with which game visually you think should be bigger in file size?

Loud = Funny is true, and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

As a very long time fan of Halo, this game is an incredible display of how incompetent 343 is as game dev, the lack of content almost a year in is absurd, them completely canceling the inclusion of couch co-op is unironically the final nail in the coffin. It's taken them 1 YEAR to add FOUR maps 2 of which aren't even here yet, and we have to wait until March 2023 to see ONE new gun. The balance of this game is one of the worst I've ever played, controller is a direct upgrade to M+KB with the ridiculous aim assist, the pistol is the least fun gun to use and fight against since it can out DM a BR/sniper at any range for whatever reason, the maps are the most basic boring 3 lane "competitive" focused things I've ever played in a Halo game. I genuinely regret all the time I put into Infinite to have such a negative time playing this garbage, them bowing down to every complaint some YT/Twitch "influencer" you've never heard of has made killed this game, their focus of competitive first rather than fun is the worst thing that's ever happened to Halo.

343's outright refusal to add old fan favorite content from previous games in favor of being "fresh and new" shows just how much they do not care what people say, the lack of content could be so easily fixed if they- I dunno- added the maps people love from the previous games, you know the thing that the previous games did as well? No way, that'd be too much of a good idea.

This isn't even mentioning the absolute egregious monetization they have going on in the game, they proudly claimed that there isn't going to be any kind of FOMO before the game launched, but then proceeded to base every limited time in-game event on FOMO. Sure it may be "free" but you're forced to do some of the least fun challenges in their limited time gamemodes to progress in the battlepass, and there's a limited number of challenges you can do in a day, so you absolutely have to wait until the next day to continue the miserable grind. If your idea of a free battlepass is to force the player to do daily "chores", it's an awful idea.

There's too much to talk about, I'm sure you can go look at a number of other reviews that list just how much is missing from this game, I'm too tired to talk about it all.

This game is not worth your time if you like any semblance of fun.

Instead of keeping the option to toggle "disturbing content" the devs decided to go the censorship route and completely remove the content from the game for no real purpose other than to be a Twitter approved game. An incredible example on how to ruin your public image for the rest of time.

I've been seeing a lot of reviews talking about this game being "infested with hackers, can't go a single game without hackers, hackers ruining everything" etc. but I have yet to see a single hacker in any of my games because I play in community servers. I actually put off going back to this game for the longest time because of these reviews and thought there were only official servers, but I was completely wrong, THERE ARE STILL ACTIVE COMMUNITY SERVERS WITH ADMINS ACTIVELY MONITORING FOR HACKERS.

I genuinely don't understand why nobody is mentioning the fact that there are community servers, literally none of the top reviews say so. The only reason I didn't go back to this game any sooner was because of this one misconception, but to reiterate, THERE ARE COMMUNITY SERVERS, just like Battlefield 4, which is the primary reason why BF4 is still alive to this day.

Completely ditch the matchmaking/official servers and just use the server browser, I HAVE YET TO RUN INTO A SINGLE HACKER BECAUSE OF THIS. Anyone leaving a negative review because of "hackers" are probably still playing on official servers and are most likely just garbage at the game. It's very easy to be really good at this game lmao.

The game is still very much alive and well without hackers and is one of the most fun/immersive FPS games ever made.

Edit: I've played this game since launch on Origin and easily have over 200 hours, I only just this week started playing again on Steam for convenience, since low hours matters to some people lol.
