So... are we getting enemy collisions back?
I can live with teammates collisions off, even if I'm not a fan of it. But no collisions with enemies is just frustrating lol, I don't see any real reason for it to not be in the game. What could be the reason? (if it was an intended change, and not a side effect of something else)

Exactly. Just have one frame and let players save (and name) frames that can be displayed in the armory.
You shouldn't ever win a 1v2 gunfight, unless you have a power weapon.
This isn't true, it's one of the things that truly makes Halo different.
Launch Site slayer against a team, notice one of our guys is 0-8, I just sit the controller down and browsed my phone until it ended. What a fucking awful map.
Head on, 1v2, I can't think of a time where I could kill both. Now, 1v2 where I can get the drop on them, for sure.
I see she called out a big streamer that got banned. His response was he raised a bunch of money but used a "gamer word" - which was F. I hate that he justifies it because the money, and also it's some gamer thing and therfore is okay.
Where can I find some sort of guide to aim better using mouse/keyboard?
I feel like it's impossible to use sniper rifle and get a headshot, even if the target is standing still :(

So it was you.../s
I don't condone quitting but God, that map on fiesta is awful
There are very few "Let's FUCKING GO" feelings in PVP gaming than winning a 1v2+ in Halo.
I killed the entire enemy team with one hammer blast. Got to say, got a natural high from it, lol.
Another game against a team of PC players, lol. You straight up cannot challenge a mouse user that is good as an above average controller user. It's pretty funny how easily they can bully you from across the map.
Man, QP is awful for me tonight, really souring my experience. Non stop teams and PC players as a solo controller player, great job 343.

Finally got that last Killing Spree and have Willow Tea! Looks awesome with the Sigil visor from last week (that they gave away for free BTW).
Sucks there aren't anymore weekly challenges that you can repeat if you want but I guess I'll just make do with popping a double exp for 100 every match and helping a friend with his.

The shaders not working on all armor cores is the biggest problem.
That shit's actually rage quit worthy. Which is funny and makes this an all time classic. I haven't rage quit a game in ages. But OH BOY does Infinite make me want to at times.
Honestly it just sounds like you don't like Halo. Which is fine! But most of what you brought up aren't even flaws. It's just game design choices (which MANY people jive with, and others don't). And most everything you brought up isn't new to Halo Infinite but moreso representative of the Halo franchise as a whole.
I don't really care about cosmetics much so I haven't dropped the small bit of cash on the Battle Pass. Honestly, I kind of doubt that I will.
For me, I'm going to keep having fun with this so long as more maps and modes get added over time. Speaking as somebody whose only online shooter experience is MGS3/MGS4 back in the day + EA Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2, is it safe to assume that stuff is coming? It... probably is, yes? And if so, do we have any inkling as to how frequently it'll arrive?
I'm loving the Big Team Battle fare far more than the standard team sizes. And I'm not tired of these maps yet. I just reckon that'll change eventually.
Oh, and do these games ever let you play as Covenant? Or is it always this, sorta, "Spartans training for war" vibe?
EDIT: And how the heck do I get the Ghost to fly high into the air I am so bad at that

"Reddit has 6000 posts"
A drop in the ocean. If FH5 had 5 million players I wonder how many people will play a f2p halo that has an amazing gameplay loop.
Expect new maps at the start of each season! Season 2 launches in May since 1 got extended.
Modes should rotate in and out more frequently though. I agree with you RE: BTB maps, would love to get some more sooner rather than later
We've had playable Elites in other Halo MPs, which I think would be a good deal of fun to add in here sometime down the line. Here's hoping...
Well it is the weekly ultimate challenge, it should be kinda tough. And unlike some of the other challenges this one shouldn't alter how you play all that much since the goal of Slayer is always to kill enemies without being killed. And if people do have to alter their play style to complete this challenge, it's most likely making them better/smarter players and teaching them to not blindly run into the center of a firefight with a plasma pistol.
In Fiesta it's a lot easier to go on killing sprees with all of the equipment and power weapons. Rockets, sword, gravity hammer, skewer, sniper rifle, a lot of one-hit kill weapons. Even if you spawn with bad weapons the power weapons are almost always on the map from dead enemies. Plus on some maps you've got the possibility of tanks and ghosts etc.
I'm not saying the challenges are perfect, but I don't consider this a terrible one.
Dang, playable Elites would be rad. Here's hoping, indeed!
Thanks for all the answers! :)
I'd suggest playing against bots more until you get a feel for the health system.
You can tell how "weak" and enemy is by how bright their shield is. It's brightest just before they pop.
There are hit indicators when you land shots. Also the shield glow at the point of impact.
Grenade hit markers are in unranked modes, but are controversial because they encourage random spam by rewarding the thrower with knowledge of enemy locations.
Kill cam is just bad for Halo. It was introduced in Halo 4 and people hated it. You can watch the film after your match if you want to evaluate your movements.
Your issues with 1v2 has been common and controversial since Halo 2 ditched the magnum that could kill with 3 shots. Your key to winning 1v2s now is to place grenades well and use power weapons. In Infinite's social modes, the power and ease of the AR isn't really conducive 1 person being able to take out 2 with gunplay alone, because you'll be unshielded by the time you take out the first guy, and the second guy has full shields and an AR that will finished you with little effort.
in ranked, a good strafe can help 1 player out shoot 2, but the long TTK of the BR still makes it unlikely to do it with bullet alone.
I have had multiple killing sprees before that challenge popped up, now I am two days without one. I think today I got the rocket launcher once in fiesta.
yeah, it's such a painfully obvious solution that it's hard to believe it isn't THE solution.
not only that, but they already have a great selection of medals that would encourage people to more deeply engage with the objective modes and gameplay systems.
they've got oddball carrier medals, medal for marking enemies, medals for saving allies from attackers- Things that people ignore now because they challenges encourage selfishness.
and there are a bunch of kill 5 enemies with X medals. It would make so much more sense to use these to payout XP whenever these should happen to occur naturally, rather than having a limited selection of challenges that instruct players to seek a specific situation.
Sounds fair
I felt like I would just waste everyones' time as I was alone in Team Slayer mode so it would be unlikely to win
I have been enjoying the game but I am close to shelving it for one reason, hit registration.
Honestly, I can put 6-8 shots into someone with the BR, no shield regen and they simply won't die, then they pop out and essentially instantly kill me.
I have seen videos online showing this and also showing people doing a one hit kill with melee on full shields from the front, only for the video of the match to show them being hit in the back.
Also, getting shot and killed when I am already around a corner by a good distance, it makes no sense.
I feel when I have an advantage as well, I will beam people with 4 shots and get triple kills, overkills etc.
Only for it to just suddenly flip and my shots refuse to kill anything, it has to be a server side issue, my ping to servers is always <20ms with the average being around 12ms so it's not my connection.
I don't mind losing to players who have more skill than me but when I unload two clips of a BR into someone's back and they don't die only to be beamed in a few shots it makes the game just not much fun tbh.

Yeah medal-based XP makes sense, especially now that they've even got a rarity system for them which could naturally tie to progression point payout amounts.
I'm surprised they've never done more with the medal systems in general, and now is the perfect time to expand upon them IMO.
I also think it'd be cool if there were multiple progression tracks/unlock systems.
Like, they could have a system where there are points and unlocks tied to medals. Then they could have a daily + weekly challenges system layer that had challenges that were more generic in flavor. Then another Reach-esque system where they just had long term goals to progress towards that also had their own unique rewards.
There's just so much more they could and can do with player progression and unlocks beyond a (not great) weekly challenge system that influences player play.

It seems pretty cut and dry (and easy), grapple onto an enemy vehicle which automatically jacks them and should award the challenge. Like, I'd question I'm not doing it right, but it's not like several of these haven't been bugged.
Fiesta should at least have a mirror system where each team always get the same set of weapons the enemy has. I had two games where I didn't get energy sword and the enemy team got lots of it.
Energy sword + grappling hook is just the game saying: go, have your kill streak

I need to vent because this challenge system remains ridiculous; (I know it's been done a million times)
I'm at 3/5 BR kills. I got 4 kills with the BR. 1 registers, now at 4/5.
I'm at 2/3 Pulse Carbine kills in 20+ games. I suck with it, even when I bring an enemy close to death I'm either killed for or a teammate swoops in and steals it (making me dislike my own teammate, which in a team game? Not a great feeling).
I have a challenge to get, I think, 10 kills with some gun mongoose. I've never even see the thing, so I figure, eh, use a swap save me the trouble.
I get a new challenge, kill 10 Spartans with a pulse carbine.
I'm at 0/1 Mangler kills. I get 2. Still at 0/1.
And what makes all of this frustrating, is I want to get to the event challenges so I can actually make progress on the ones I have left, but I can't until I clear out this bullshit that either A. Is really difficult (for me) to get. or B. I actually get the kills I need and they don't register with no indication as to why.
How is a mostly casual player supposed to deal with this crap? It's one of the worst systems I've come across made even more troublesome by how much it wants to push you to buy shit to make it less awful. I really hope they change it. They finally nailed Halo combat again and they just put all of these walls up in front of it that are really sucking the enjoyment out of the entire thing. That makes me want to not touch it. Which makes me not want to pay for something cool. So if their goal is to alienate potential customers, I guess they've succeeded.
And that says nothing of the awful core system which spreads out cool items between armors. I really love the EVA helmet from old Halo games and look forward to it, but, I have to wear the Mark V armor to use it, which I don't care for. I'd rather use it on the Mark VII which I like a lot more. I've never seen a game have such seeming scorn for their player base.

Not being able to mix and match pieces is a damn shame.
Fiesta is fun. Embrace the stupidity and try to out play opponents with the trash tier weapons you spawn with.
I don't think Halo is for you. That's okay.
Maybe you should try the Armory for a bit so you can understand when shields break, hit markers, cross hairs, hit marker feed back.
Most of your complaints are just not understanding the game mechanics.
I'm literally killing myself until I get power weapons and quitting any of the larger maps. But don't worry, 343 said challenges don't change how you play the game :)
I spent waaay too long in btb matches ignoring everything except trying to kill someone with a fusion coil. Way harder than I thought it would be. Still had fun doing it.
Yes it's insane to me that they put all this work and effort into building up this really cool medal system, with all kinds of unique rewards for player behavior and fancy medal designs, and to just not have the thought to tie it to progression at all? It's SO OBVIOUS. Give the medals XP values! It'll incentivize mode-oriented, team-oriented player behavior which is more fun for everyone.
man I have been playing exclusively on the xbox.com/ play website for cloud streaming and it has been a blast. I don't have my Xbox with me while visiting my parents but I brought my series x controller and just went to the website and it works really fucking awesome. the resolution tips from time to time but it feels mostly like 1080p 90% of the time, input lag is super minor too, cant really tell without side by siding it. cloud future is now
