Hard Way Posted September 25, 2018 Two options already exist for you here: Action Sack, and H4 launch Infinity Slayer. EDIT: WAIT A MINUTE. HALO INFINITE INFINITY SLAYER ON THE INFINITY. YES PLEASE. Go to your room and think about what you’ve done. Quote Share this post Link to post
TI Inspire Posted September 25, 2018 How much would the development of a new game engine delay other aspects of development? And could serious progress be made on the campaign and multiplayer when the engine is in the equivalent of a beta? I'm wondering just how far away are we from Infinite's launch.

BrutallyDigital Posted September 27, 2018 Mandatory: Slayer, CTF, Ball, Bomb, KOTH, Strongholds Should really be there if they care: 1 Flag, 1 Bomb, Extraction Nice to have: VIP, Stockpile, Juggernaut, Regicide, Ricochet Or have most if not all game types day 1. More content, more replay value. Quote Share this post Link to post
Basu Posted September 27, 2018 Or have most if not all game types day 1. More content, more replay value. Agreed but some gametypes are clearly more important than others. If there's no ricochet or VIP I won't break a sweat but if they cut Ball Bomb and KOTH again there will be issues. Quote Share this post Link to post
Ramirez77 Posted September 27, 2018 Slayer, CTF, Infection - Absolutely essential, always. The most definitive modes of the franchise, for better or worse. KoTH, Oddball, Assault, Race - Significantly more niche but still solid and well known modes that should be present. Especially Oddball which is in very few other games and largely unique to Halo. Territories, Warzone, Strongholds, Extraction, Invasion, Ricochet, Juggernaut, Headhunter, etc - Not necessary. Some of them are mediocre, others are high quality modes but are so extremely niche anyways that to argue they are "quintessential" would be inaccurate. Others are just kind of redundant. Not that I don't miss many of them. Quote Share this post Link to post
Apoll0 Posted September 27, 2018 I'm kind of surprised here with how few gametypes people are considering as required.... With how incomplete Halo 5 was, i'm not giving 343 any passes for Infinite being incomplete. It MUST have Slayer, CTF, Strongholds, Oddball, KotH, Assault, Infection, Extraction and at least a couple of the more niche or odd gametypes like ricochet, VIP, Juggernaut etc. They should include a couple of the community made gametypes as default options as well like Roaming Hill and Extermination. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post
Hard Way Posted September 27, 2018 Ricochet is so underrated. People shit on it because it was never set up correctly, with its huge goals and 5 second respawns...Put that shit on 10 second respawns, shape the goals like a disc instead of a cube, and put the goal on a pedestal to prevent roll-in goals, and you've got yourself an excellent gametype. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post

Hard Way Posted September 27, 2018 Aka how DOOM does it. DOOM is literally a better Halo than modern Halo lmao. Infernal Run is really fun, but the scoring system is fucked. Thrown goals should be worth less than half of a carried goal. But otherwise the gametype is great. Quote Share this post Link to post
HeX Reapers Posted September 30, 2018 Wasn't there just a page and a half about game modes that should be in the game and why? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post
Silos Posted September 30, 2018 Wasn't there just a page and a half about game modes that should be in the game and why? I think he means the only news we have on the game is microtransactions. It would be like an announcement that the game was going to be $60. I would kill for something to talk about. I'm hoping this X018 conference has something for us. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-announces-big-x018-xbox-event-this-novem/1100-6462037/ Quote Share this post Link to post

Mr Grim Posted September 30, 2018 You know what’s really upsetting me? The fact that all I hear people talk about is infinite having micro transactions, and no ones talking about the gameplay,content at launch, forge, nothing of the sort!probably because we know fuck all about that stuff. We do know that MTs are in the game though so surprised surprise we talked about it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post
Hard Way Posted September 30, 2018 well the thing is no one from 343 or m$ responds here anymore because you all are always telling them to fuck off. This is overblown. This community has always been respectful and grateful when dealing directly with a dev. We just tell them the truth, which apparently they don't like hearing. They come around before major releases/updates to try to act like they give a shit, then people give them respectful but honest opinions, and then they disappear until the next time they need to do community outreach. It's not worth kissing ass and never speaking truth to power in hopes that these guys might stick around a little longer. If they can't hear what they need to hear, then there's no point in them being here anyways. 14 Quote Share this post Link to post
Mr Grim Posted October 1, 2018 They don't come here anymore because we're good at calling them out on their bullshit. Be it crybaby attitudes to isolated posts or straight up lies about how they've engaged with the community. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post

Hard Way Posted October 1, 2018 To be perfectly honest, I don’t respect the AR starts opinion, at all. I have a hard time not shitting on people that support that crap with a straight face. Take the pacifier out of your mouth and learn the fucking game already. It’s long overdue that 343 cut the umbilical cord with that shit. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post

Even if the was an "audience" for that shit, there is absolutely no reason why the AR start crowd should get catered to more than Team Snipers, SWAT, Grifball and the like. Bungie really fucked us over by setting the precedent that 50% of the gametypes should cater to people who prefer objectively worse gameplay. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post
