Thanks I'll add some of those. If you hear of or come across a really good remake of Coagulation, specifically Halo 2's Blood Gulch - let me know.

Coagulation H1 - EP51LON - UGC - Halo Infinite

The Quick and the Dead. Works with CTF and Team Slayer.

There's no thumbnail but I believe it's the map found here:

or it could be this version from epsilon https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite/ugc/maps/ca262876-8413-47a4-a00e-5e5bb01213b4 kinda hard to tell. I think this one is the Halo 2 version though

I'm dangerously close to becoming that weirdo who sincerely thinks Infinite is the best FPS period, even knowing how silly a statement that is. Firefight KotH sounds amazing.

Saying that about a Halo game is far from silly. Infinite's in a good spot now and it's a ton of fun.

Infinite is a stellar shooter to play. Had it gotten the proper content treatment out of the gate ala Halo 3 or Reach, it would have been an all time Halo game.

Honestly with the way the early flights were turning out a couple years ago they always had the potential. They just didn't have all their content rollout correctly. Now that they have finally shaken up who's who at 343 calling these decisions...so far it's been nothing but improvements since Season 3 imo. I don't think it's crazy especially with the state of the game today.

Played a couple games over the weekend to try to get back into things before the new season; some of the Forge maps in matchmaking are really great, and I found myself liking the base version of the Bandit more then I remembered when it first released. But man the movement rubberbanding/desync/whatever is still really bad. I hope that's something they're still planning on fixing because it seriously put me off the game despite everything else being pretty fun.

I only really started playing Friday (old pc couldn't play it when it launched) and I got some rubberbanding a couple of times on Saturday. I'm hoping it was just a ton of people playing because it was Halo WC weekend.

You CAN make a faithful Mk V without totally butchering it. 🥺

I'll be throwing money at the screen when it's available I'm a Mark V…mark.

I think the "desync" problems are kinda over-exaggerated at this point, and what people are encountering is more just garden variety server lag they need to sort out.

Hearing all of these good vibes is making me want to redownload the game again. I heard there was a good championship going on recently too. Seems the optics on this game changed?

Whatever it is, the fact that I can often not walk in a straight line without my position rubberbanding back and forth sporadically is incredibly obnoxious and not a problem I have in other games. That's something that should just work.

It still isn't clear if the Mark V CE armor kit will be paid or free, just "in the shop" and releasing on 11/7. Be prepared for it to be paid, but it could be a free giveaway for those that log in and claim it for that week or two or whatever.

That's some potent hopium.

The armor looks fucking fantastic.

I know the game had a bumpy launch, but I have to hand it to 343 for these latest updates. I'm really excited about Halo again.

Oh I 100% agree with that. I just think the talk of "desync" with regards to Infinite specifically has turned into a bit of a bogeyman people are seeing in every missed shot etc.

If you're rubber banding, it's not like the cause being something different matters to you lol.

My hope is that they're waiting for Tatanka to be revealed before maybe giving the game a bit of a renewed marketing boost - maybe some sponsored Twitch streams to get the game back in front of people's eyes, etc.

Yeah, that would make sense. We've seen recently with Cyberpunk that is possible to turn mindshare around. Infinite's biggest problem at launch was content, and they've done a lot to address that.

I tuned into HCS and really enjoyed the matches this weekend. Got me interested enough to re-install the game, haven't seriously played since that initial boom on launch/Season 1.

I had a blast! Played a bunch of games in Quick Play and it felt right. Got to see a bunch of new maps too. I'll definitely be tuning in for the new season. With PvE on the way I could see that being another way to get me involved.

Happy to be excited about Halo again.

What's Squad Battle about? I'll check it out when I get home tonight.
8v8 slayer/objective on forge remakes of classic maps (Valhalla, Rat's Nest, Zanzibar, Exile, Waterworks) damn fun and feels like Halo. Just started playing Infinite again a few days ago since launch week and Squad Battle is just *chef kiss*

Played a couple of games last night and I'm pleasantly surprised. Feels much better than at launch, didn't feel any network spikes as before and it was on a map that I found more interesting to play on. Will definitely check out tomorrow.

Combat Evolved isn't my first, second, or third favorite Halo game, but damn that's a nice looking set of armor.

It's such a strong modern take. Same geometry as the original, with added grooves and details in the armor to bring it up to current visuals and compliment the other existing armor in the game.

I really hope to see both the Mark V and the Mark VI upgraded to full cores as the game progresses.

Wasn't part of the Unreal rumor that Tatanka is being turned into it's own separate Halo game?

He apologized for sounding disrespectful, he didn't imply campaign DLC is in the cards. After the lay offs it was obvious we aren't getting campaign DLC.

I dropped this game so hard around the end of Season 1. It looks like it's time to jump back in as MW3 ain't doing it for me. And everyone in this thread hyping it up is transferring the hype over to me!

I played the shit out of halo the first month it came out then dropped it. Just reinstalled it for the first time a couple days ago. Game seems to be in a good spot now. Gameplay is still good and theirs a lot of content now.

Only thing I don't like is how damn sweaty the game is. But that seems to be all shooters now. I'm excited for firefight and hope they can add some other casual game modes.

Custom games should help offer other nice PvE modes to kick back and chill to since they're adding AI enemies to Forge. And you'll still be able to earn battle pass XP, too.
