I'm waiting for BTB to be fixed before I jump back into multiplayer. This sucks to hear.

They only seem to care about the F2P game - people like me who had their campaign save corrupt they give zero fucks for.

Well, damn…

He also just said they're now investigating removing BTB challenges while they continue to work on a fix

I've always been more into the 4v4 modes but for those who primarily enjoy the BTB stuff, this is terrible.

That's a shame. Not least because I have a BTB challenge to complete. I reiterate that 343i really should be looking to compensate users more heavily for this situation. It's a major feature in a heavily monetised live service. While I'm sure they're taking it very seriously internally I don't think they're strking the right tone with their customers on this. Infinite has its work cut out if it wants to be a major popular shooter long term, and this is not helping one bit.

I guess the low animation FPS in the campaign cutscenes also remain unfixed? It's weird how the game was delayed but still feels like it came in hot

It's not utterly broken for me. I've been able to get into matches about half the time. But when it fails, I gotta reboot the whole game.

The whole of Halo Infinite feels... really like it's hanging together by a thread. I love what's there and I adore it when it works, but it's very clear the game went through an immense amount of development and technical hurdles.

All is forgiven as far as I'm concerned though- because it's the happiest I've been with Halo, and crucially the most optimistic I've ever felt about its future since Halo 3, which is one of my favorite games ever. So that's fine! I'm just rooting real hard for them to fix those hurdles so Halo can continue on this great path they've forged.

Also doesn't work on Game Pass on PC for me. Same as Age of Empires 4.
Well, enough other games to play. Will buy super-cheap on Steam someday.

Remove all BTB challenges until shit is sorted

It's like the people making challenges don't actually play the game. Aside from BTB challenges needing to have been ripped out of the game like a month ago, many challenges have excessive or unintuitive requirements, like requiring revives in Attrition which is something you can only do if your team is about to lose. None of this shit passes the sanity test.

I don't really enjoy the BTB mode, but having it off the table for a lot of people will hopefully throw some attention on just how few traditional multiplayer maps Infinite has. Just... remaster Zanzibar or something.

I queued with a friend and just killed myself with grenades when we were out of lives to help him cheese it. The opportunity just doesn't pop up in the mode enough, especially with the peculiar first-to-2 format they decided to go with.

They already said a fix is in the works, afaik.

Given the mountain of fixes they currently need to get addressed, I just don't see it happening anytime soon. But it's such a minor issue to me, I can't imagine delaying a play through of the campaign to begin with.

It has the same amount as past Halo games, which were paid titles. The last thing this game needs is another Launch Site map.

I love the fact they have been transparent, but at the same time the fact they can't fix it is pretty alarming

I noticed this over the weekend, really annoying.

Didn't realise its been an issue for upwards of a month now.

Yeah... I've just put Infinite down for the foreseeable future, until they fix this. I've finished the Battle Pass, and enjoy lots of aspects, but BTB is what my brother and I like playing most. Think it's been a few weeks now since we played last. Been enjoying plenty of other games in the meantime, and several more are zooming in soon!

what have I missed? Played BtB for weeks after "launch" in november but Ive been too bust last couple of months with family, work and my new PS5.. cant remember any problems - what happened?

I think the issue is mainly for fireteams with 4+ people. Once you get to around 6 people, it's virtually impossible to get into a match.
Ahh gotcha.

I've said it before, I bet they were trying to fix groups not being put into the same squad and somehow fucked up BTB. Because it used to work before, and something fucked it up.

Yesterday I was in a 2 men fireteam and we still couldnt get a btb match

I hope they gift challenge swaps for this, already wasted like 4 of them to not do btb missions

Really the worst parts of Infinite. The UI and the matchmaking its insane how terrible it is in general. Along with the loading into matches so bizarre in a game released in 2021. The worst thing is getting stuck in that infinite sever not working loop and you its just easier to crash the game.

It worked fine all through beta but once campaign launched there's been some weird bug that degraded matchmaking for BTB to it's current state. It's a 50-50 shot if you get into a functioning game as a solo player, and pretty much impossible if you're in a big group.

Oh that sucks, happily ignorant i guess.. Hope they fix it soon because the new "event" looks fun and pretty cool cosmetics so going to jump back in this weekend. 4v4 is not so fun for me tho, too much pressure 😬
