The only problem so far with this game is that you only get XP from specific challenges.
So it doesn't really matter how good you play.  :doge

Hopefully they'll fix that.

The only problem with the game for me is that I can only get 22fps with everything set to low and maps take 5-10 mins to load. And I steadfastly refuse to buy a 150% msrp GPU

I see why it's F2P now

It is kinda amusing to me that whoever is in charge of halo can't seem to help themselves when it comes to obnoxious challenges in multiplayer. when seeing the list i had PTSD flashbacks to trying to get halo 3's mongoose mowdown achievement, and whatever they were in reach.

my current challenges are one that requires slayer, one that requires i think its called lockdown and one that needs me to blow up the brute motorcycle thing.  and i guess I just queue and hope i get in the right game mode ???

also very lol/modern GAaS that you have approx 0 armor pieces to choose from without buying a season pass and a bungie style armor shader system.

There's always Xcloud then... though for a competitive online shooter, probably not the best idea.

Not really feeling this, although I really just want to play team deathmatch and I didn't see a way to filter it. Just not big on Halo anymore I guess.

I think for me it's just not really feeling 343 games.  I couldn't get into Halo 4 either and sold it off.  This is the first time I've tried a Halo game since then and it feels the same.

Yeah I don't know how a full decade has passed and they somehow make a game that feels slower and looser than Reach/H3. And with no Forge or even dedicated gametype playlists.

Not a fan of the matchmaking, would rather select by mode.
Also not a fan of the lack of SWAT. wtf brehs
Game itself feels pretty decent, but I need them to fix the above first to give it a proper shake down

feels like halo to me, for better and for worse. i think it's solid. its a little weird thinking about map control/weapon drops after years of loadout shooters.

atm i am in the mood to play halo

It's HALO that unlike previous 343 HALO's feels like actual HALO. Joe Staten must've HALO'd it up.

When 343 announced that Campaign co-op and Forge would not be in the launch game, it made clear that the former would drop during Season 2, and the latter in Season 3. Staten confirmed that, with Season 1 now taking place for around 6 months instead of the planned 3, that means those modes have also been pushed back. Season 2 should begin in May 2022, with Season 3 likely to be around August/September.

So no coop campaign till 2022 ( if it even has that for PC )

Apparently it's at least May 2022 for co-op and Forge even later.  :(

its one of the better multiplayer fps I've played in quite a while. can see this being a big multiplayer title for a long time given they don't take too long to flesh it out. core game feels fantastic, great weapons, not much diversity in game types, the game types they have that you always get queued in, power seed and oddball, are kinda average. zone and slayer are good, OK with ctf but sucks with a poor team. tbh, I like the agile approach and just putting it out there and adding more to it as they go, I'm having a good time. really promising

1. Is there default crossplay with PC to Xbox? Like, is that built in to the default playlists?

2. Does this afford a slight advantage to M&KB players on PC during firefights?

(I don't have time to git gud but I miss shooters and would consider it if it'd help me have a positive KD ratio and not be a drag on my team.)

(I know Halo isn't Counter Strike and vehicles/objectives deemphasize KD a bit.)

I dunno wtf is up with this game on PC.

It showed a cutscene without my character model, just guns running around. Then after the first cutscene it placed me out of bounds and I wasnt able to move or anything.

Put all my settings on low, restarted, then it went through with the gameplay.

Played till the open world, did some stuff, saved and quit. Now I cant even continue my save. Roflmao uninstalled this trash (game played great tho)

The campaign is basically, "What if The Silent Cartographer was an entire game." It's pretty good so far. It'll probably get old if they don't ramp up the enemy/world variety in later areas.

It's an asset flip, inside an asset flip, covered in an asset flip, runs abysmal on PC and it crashes often.

It's not the HALO we deserve but the HALO we got. :salute

agreed. they've jsut mashed ideas from far cry, titanfall and zelda into the halo formula and feel in this copy pasta world but it feels so damn good. i updated my gpu drivers and i get a fairly solid 100fps with high settings at 65% internal res now. game feels unfinished, but in a forgiveable way in that they clearly just ran out of time and turned what they had into something that's still very good. a great jumping off point for their next iteration

I like just going hmmm that’s about 800 metres away.

Time to bust out the grapple hook and just skip half of that distance by going up a mountain.

Really enjoying the game, did get some weird bugs especially early but seems to have calmed down now.

I did have to reload after saving a team one grunt was stuck on a ship lol

Game seems surprisingly stable, actually. Weirdest thing that happens is the game locks for about 10 seconds during checkpoint saves, but that only happened about twice in 15 hours. Haven't seen anything else happen.

I really wonder what the hell this game was a year ago.

I've played up to the 3 beacons part so far. Game feels great. Story is mostly meh but it does have its moments. Environmental variety is definitely lacking though. In the past we've had snowy stuff, swaps, deserts, but its all been the same up to where i am.
