When did i even defend the developer tho? You said it's not full co-op, just online. They said it's both on and offline co-op, progress carries over to single player and other things. What else is needed for "Full" co-op? That's what i found curious.
No, columns in the middle are closer than the ones in the background.floating mountains?
Hmmm, yeah re-reading it it seems like some things don't care if another player had it and other things (missions) only get marked as complete if all players had it as completed. Still not seeing anything for being able to join a Co-Op session that's already in progress.
The one thing I've been hoping for re: Halo Infinite co-op is the ability for my buddies and I to adopt different combat niches as we please and approach each combat zone with them in mind.
I feel this. I wasn't expecting something like co-op specific content or campaign additions immediately, but it IS the kind of thing I'm hoping for down the line. At the very least I think it'd be a solid move for them to implement armor customization in campaign (solo and co op) in the near future. At least to let us stand out from one another and imagine ourselves as other Spartans - but I guess that'll depend on how things like cutscenes are handled.
Yeah, when you think about it, co-op in this game really is a major design challenge. Before the game launched when they said co-op was taking longer, it was disappointing, but after playing the campaign, I get it.
This base campaign was only ever about Chief, The Weapon and The Pilot and how it was down to them. Given 343i's love for making everything in lore, bringing in MP Spartans for co-op would mean Chief isn't actually alone on the ring and occasionally finding soldiers.
Multiple big names from the team, including Bonnie Ross herself, apologized, and multiple people explained what happened on the development side. We can believe them or not, but at this point we are past that IMO.
I dont think you will be. They outline that you make a fireteam, itll summarize what mission youll start at and then you select start co op. Someone joining in a session in progress at the endgame while they havent played mission 2 yet would probably break things.
I'll take that over waiting 10 minutes only for matchmaking to time out.
It should be :( I miss it so much. I hate how it got chloroformed within the space of a few years. Yeah, before anyone says, I know precisely why, it was a tonne of extra work for a comparatively smaller user base, but man playing online over voice will never compare to couch co-op for me, ever.
You make it seem like we got a bunch of apologies (exactly 2 "big name" apologies) and sufficient explanations already lol.
Oh that's true, I had forgotten about that. Seems it took a back seat to their open world design, cinematics design, and other features that were probably rushed to completion after the decision to delay co-op was made.
11? And you're worried about Halo?
I don't know, kind of tired of internet culture of "it's never enough" type of thinking. You got apologies from Bonnie Ross, Joe Staten and a number of the devs, as well as multiple explanations as to how/why it happened. Like I said, you can believe them or not, that's on you. But there's not much more they can do apart from what they did: offer sincere apologies, do their best to explain themselves/ensure it doesn't happen again, and fix the issue as soon as possible.
That was fixed already. I think there are some mouth animations that are still odd, but mostly fixed.

Move on? lol
