Just started this, didn’t realise I’d have to play it for 1 and a half hours before I even got to the open world section.... The gameplay is brilliant though

So the fix for BTB hasn't worked.

Any tips on stage 3 of the Escharum fight? It's not that hard, but a full clip of any gun appears to take about one pixel off his health bar, so I get bored and then killed in one hit. I found this frustrating too until I noticed the 2 rocket launcher things, get them and make sure every shot hits and he will go down. I think I'm heading towards the final bit now so I think I need to find my patience again

So the fix for BTB hasn't worked. Oh FFS, BTB is the main mp mode i like, I'll do a bitof quick play for a while, but that's the most fun stuff. Have they at least fixed the million 'you couldn't connect' messages or allowed you to stop the join to play something else?

Been chipping away at Infinte on and off since release, and although I was highly skeptical at first, I'm thoroughly enjoying and appreciating the evolution in gameplay. I absolutely love the way this game feels to play.
The grappling hook completely transforms the game, in terms of traversal, enemy engagement, picking up items, and even entering vehicles.
I'm also pleasantly surprised at how difficult the game can be in places if you become overwhelmed, meaning tactical management of enemy engagements is crucial.
It's refreshing that a developer (of a AAA game nonetheless) has actually thought about gameplay before graphics.

Sometimes. Been quite liking that Attrition gametype they've had in for the last week or so. Gets a bit fraught when you're last man standing and you need to revive teammates while trying not to die.

Patch released yesterday evening which has seemingly fixed the matchmaking issues in btb. At last! Enjoyed some good games yesterday evening, none of the previous problems apparent besides dying lots...

Still would like the desync issue fixed it's shit to be effectively killed in a second because of this.

I actually notice when I benefit from this too, I think, opponents seem unusually sluggish.

A push to finish the on campaign on Heroic this weekend after putting Halo to one side since Christmas.
Now annoying stuck on the final phase of the Harbinger fight. Seriously this long jumping one-shotting hammer brute with the health of a boss, he can just fuck right off. 2 hours running around this fucking room and not cleared it yet.
Thinking about sacking off the Heroic achievement and dropping the difficulty. I've enjoyed my time with the campaign on Heroic but this Harbinger boss is bollocks and i just want to be done with it now.

I'd got to that final phase, struggled like you, and decided to park it for another day. Then for some reason the Xbox lost the Quick Resume and I was put back to the start of the Harbinger fight. Hadn't intended to give up but I just couldn't be arsed to go through all that again. Thoroughly enjoyed the game up to that point though, so I'm not too fussed about not finishing it.

You’re not missing much in the way of an ending, just standard ‘YOU MAY HAVE STOPPED ME BUT YOU WILL NEVER STOP WHAT’S COMING NEXT’ guff

Yeah, I persevered with that fight on Heroic (took a good couple of hours of retries) and on balance I probably should've just binned it. That said, it dumped me back in the overworld so I could mop up the last few HVTs which I enjoyed about 100 times more, so....

I'm amazed that the game's performance still hasn't been looked at, especially things like cutscense animations, frame pacing etc.

It took me a few goes on heroic for sure. After a couple of tries I noticed that you could affect the spawns through the door quite reliably so you can kill off a few enemies as a group as they run through the door which makes getting hit by stray shots a bit easier.

I'd already done all those (and all the other major optional open world stuff) so I'm quite happy to move on.

I stopped at this part on Heroic too and never went back. Just not fun at all.

I've put Infinite on hold for now, in the hope that they'll fix some of the game's issues, primarily the inconsistent frame rate in cutscenes and animations (60fps would be nice).
That said, I could be waiting indefinitely, so might just dive back in and finish it. It's still really fun.

It's March now, if they were going to do it they would have done so already, it's all about the MP now and everything that comes with that. Kinda disappointed tbh.

I don’t know, I think we’re past the part we’re it looks “bad”. We know it’s coming late, exactly when this year is less of a deal. And online co-op is definitely the more important delivery so coming first makes sense.
Once it launches people will play it. Halo tends to have a decent replay rate anyway, and those interested in playing with friends/family aren’t going to suddenly lose interest just because it won’t be until later this year.
More puzzling is how MS were initially prepared to launch the game 2 years back. It would have been savaged. Spencer is typically pretty on the money with Xbox directions. He must have been ill that week.

Last Spartan Standing is surprisingly enjoyable, for a few games, then it becomes a chore to play once you realise it's the same map with the same loadout progression every time.
Even with the limited maps and game modes 343 really could lean on the sandboxy nature of Halo to mix up the weapons and parameters of matches in matchmaking to make things a bit more varied. Can't be that much work?

Can't be that much work? Agree with everything in this ^. I got all the event pass unlocks and really cba to play it again. Also, the frequency of drop pod gear spawns seems excessive, particularly camo. Back smack melees are funny when you're doing them but not when you just got killed by one for the 3rd time in a row because half the players on the map seem to have camo.
