Even just a new loading screen would be nice at this point.Any word on a day one patch? Curious to see if they mix anything up in MP

Countdown to OT2 Posting: Dec 8, 2021 at 12:30 PMWell here we are... 20,000 posts in the OT before the campaign even launches.
I'm super excited to discuss the campaign with you all later this week! Until then I'll be doing 6 daily multiplayer missions as I have no other challenges left to push me to get XP. I'm also almost done with the Battle Pass, with only purchasing the Battle Past (progresses you to level 25) but hoping to grind out more content with the upcoming events they have planned for us.
As we're now over 20,000 posts the current plans for the OT going forward are:
Countdown to OT2 Posting: Dec 8, 2021 at 12:30 PM
- Lock this OT at 5:30pm GMT/UTC on Wednesday 8th December ( will ping mods/previously discussed with Jawmuncher )
- Launch OT2 at the same time which is 30 minutes before the campaign launches worldwide at 6pm GMT/UTC.
- Link to/support a "Spoiler Thread" for open spoilers discussing the campaign.

lol accurateIts like the game is usain bolt but he just stubbed a toe before the 100 meter dash.
What the hell.. So that fire effect you unlock can't be used while having a weapon skin on?TIL I can't use a weapon skin, and the death animation together.... yay that totally makes sense.
It'll be a miracle if Theater works in a Halo game again.Is the theatre mode in A working state now?
Edit. Forgot. It's in 6 hours lol
I'm over here sweating my ass off in ranked but it doesn't matter because Mr. Negative 10+ thinks he should be attempting to slay instead of grabbing the ball.
My brain when I have 1 min+ of ball time, 2 overkills, 4 triples, 10 doubles - 48 kills / 26 deaths and we still lose.
I hope the patch they're putting out fixes that shit. There is nothing more frustrating (besides the challenges themselves that are pretty bullshit) than not having what you did count.Try 10 Pulse Carbine Kills...doing 5 of them...the game counting 2 of them...
Any changes/updates are unlikely and I would be surprised if there are any at all today.Any rumors of multiplayer changes today? New maps or playlists?
What the hell.. So that fire effect you unlock can't be used while having a weapon skin on?
I'm assuming that's referring to a weapon kit (like the esports team stuff), which doesn't let you tweak it at all or else it goes away. Add a weapon charm? Nope! Same with armor kits like the Reach skins that don't let you use the armor effects.
It is an absolutely god awful system that I don't believe a human being gave the okay to.
wel thats sad to know. i hope at least the fix is i don't have to restart the game each time i view a replay due to xbox privacy bug.lol accurate

We haven't had a functional Theater since Reach.
They probably have to do additional work due to bots, so I wouldn't remotely expect a fast content pipeline unfortunately.Having no new maps until potentially may (season 1 end) is something I can't fathom. As much as I am hooked on the MP, the lack of maps is already showing and especially for BTB.
I swear to god I want to know what the weights are to game types in playlists. I've played for two days straight and have gotten 1 slayer match between all three playlists. I have like 4 weeklies involving slayer right now.
On controller. When the bar on the bottom of the screen turns blue and it says connecting to game, hit the select button. When on the Fireteam scream it'll show the map and mode you are loading into. If you dont like what you see, hit X on that screen and you'll cancel matchmaking. Then just search again and repeat until you get the mode you need.I swear to god I want to know what the weights are to game types in playlists.

Save your money and do the above.They have a solution for that is called challenge swaps. BUY SOME HALO SPACE BUCKS TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS THAT 343 CREATED.

I literally just want something on my shelf next to the other games. (I am missing ODST, as I didn't play it until a year ago.)
It's what I'm doing lol.Would I be insane to buy a full $60 copy of this just to have it in hand and have a steelbook even though I've got Game Pass Ultimate and don't necessarily have to pay a dime to pay and enjoy everything today?
FULLY AWARE THAT THE GAME ISNT EVEN ON THE DISC!?
Reading this right now, fascinating stuff - development was more all over the place than I thought tbh.
Can't wait to find out what the thread title will be.Tonight's the night everyone!
Get ready for OT2... in which the first 10 or so pages will all be people complaining about their download speeds of the Campaign as we are unable to preload it.

Countdown to Halo Infinite Campaign Release: Dec 8, 2021 at 1:00 PM
the game will be dead by then if thats the case... wouldnt be bad if all but 3 of the new maps are good. the rest are meh to shit at best.. the game is really fun but 10 maps of which only 3 are good maps is really bad.. not even playlists will save it after 6 months of the same shit... :/Having no new maps until potentially may (season 1 end) is something I can't fathom.

I have to resist. Wife would kill me.It's what I'm doing lol.
Needed that steelbook lol. Goes with all my other Halo steelbooks.
What I think might be interesting is 343's approach to future content, especially to future single player/co-op content. We could see them continue Chief's story every few years but we could also see them do stories usually kept to spin-off titles in Infinite too. Letting you control different characters in the Universe, showing their time on Zeta Halo; which I do think we'll see more of and other open world sections of further down the line.Yeah me too. It's pretty crazy that it seems to have turned out as well as it did. Hopefully now they can smooth out some of the niggling tech things DF pointed out.
I think the more restrained choice vis a vis the "open world" they went with is far better than doing a Far Cry or something.
Go to the weapon hall and it'll be one of the options on the right.Two questions.
1. How do I equip the skull kill effect?
2. Can I play split screen in MP?
1. Its equipped in the gun customization not armor.Two questions.

Yep you can play split screen! Was playing with the gf last week. Super fun. They'll have to quickly make a profile but other than that you're good.Two questions.
