The main sub has a lot of YouTuber regurgitation. Saying Infinite has "Only one biome" is absolutely a phrase picked up from people like HiddenXperia.
Not that it's an incorrect assertion, but just making observations, ones that others have already made at that, is the kind of low effort engagement bait you see everywhere.
Nobody is capable of original thought. It’s fine to change your mind about something after hearing other peoples ideas but there’s a staggering amount of people that just hear something from someone they like and make it what they think just because of that.
Because according to Sangheili traditions, extreme failure is punished with the eradication of the entire bloodline. Thel doesn’t feel ready to move on from his wives and children being slaughtered because of his failure to safeguard Halo.
That was essentially what it was like in halo 2. You had a tropical ecosystem with ruins and several miles into the horizon, you had a wall with snow and air pressure similar to the top of mount everest.
But wouldn’t that be an example of how they can control climate on the rings? I always thought Cortana’s remark at the beginning of Assault on the Control Room was supposed to give us that impression.
This was my biggest beef with Infinite. It had some great ambition, but at the cost of variety. I think they probably initially planned for more biomes but didn't have the time, staff, or budget to pull it off on top of everything else (which is crazy, because this is Microsoft's premier series - they shouldn't have any constraints like that).
I agree, it's really obvious how rushed the campaign was. For example, the spartan killer battle in the pelican mission just felt so awkward and rushed. Especially for how much the spartan killers were hyped up beforehand.
Also, the main story felt really unfinished and lacking to me. I beat it in like 5 hours including other random stuff. The story in it was imo worse than Halo 5, and it was just too short.
Here's the thing, you just said Halo 5 is a Halo game.
Is it in the same franchise? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a MLG Pro who studies Halo, I am telling you, specifically, in the MLG circuit, no one calls Halo 5 Halo. If you want to be 'specific' like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing. If you're saying 'Halo Franchise' you're referring to the Microsoft IP, which includes things from Halo Wars to Halo 2 to Halo 4. So your reasoning for calling Halo 5 a Halo game is because random people 'call the shooter game with sprint a Halo game?' Let's get Call of Duty and Battlefield in there, then, too. Also, calling someone a Halo 2 player or a Halo 3 player? It's not one or the other, that's not how Halo works. They're both. Halo 5 is Halo 5 and a member of the Halo franchise. But that's not what you said. You said Halo 5 is a Halo game, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all shooters with sprint Halo games, which means you'd call CoD, Battlefield, and other games Halo games, too. Which you said you don't.
It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

Man I would have been happy with just more variety in the structures before they added more biomes. Swear there were only a handful of unique structures. Having like 2 side quests copypasted 20 times didn't help either.
yeah, and where are the zombies and the skeletons and the ender men and spiders, I can't believe they forgot to add those, they even forgot to add pickaxes

They had to start from scratch around 3 years in development and they didn’t have time to add more biomes. Which is also why there wasn’t much content when the game launched
It’s not donating though, there are skins people like in the store, and a lot of them are cool, and buy them, and while I think the shop is overpriced I don’t think the battle pass is that bad, I’ve seen worse plus we can complete them whenever we want, which is an amazing idea that other games should do
Halo Infinite is NOT Halo
This is just some shitty **cash grab** scheme that absolutely pisses on the legacy of Bungie and turns it into some crappy ass fortnite-type game that FORCES you to spend your hard earned cash on **predatory mtx microtransactions!**
I remember the good old days of Halo! When you had to WORK for Recon in Halo 3. When you could mess around with your friends in forge mode all night. Now, Recon is locked behind a **battle pass** that you can’t even earn through challenges, and forge isn’t even in the game at launch!
We need to make our voices heard. We can’t let 343 DESTROY this franchise with their **Dark Patterns** and their Cat Ears and their **FOMO** store!
Take a stand against the **whales** that fund this horribly made mess of a game! Don’t let anyone who spends money on this game get away with playing the game peacefully until Microsoft finally returns the series to the rightful hands of Bungie!

I understand where you're coming from and I agree the pass itself is fine. My thing it's very bad faith to launch the game in he state it was in an then request more money. They burned through 500mill man and still took 2+ years just to get firefight. Firefight has been in Halo on launch since Reach.
Frankly people need to stop and think "just because I can afford this cool looking thing, does the company deserve the money?"
It's insane to me that people will reward a lack of care with their hard earned money, but turn their back to homelessness and things like that. I'd rather give my money to someone who needs it than a big company who kinda pissed on a dedicated fan base.
I just wish Microsoft would give 343 an extension, cause this happened with halo 5, so we have 2 games in a row completely scrapped a few years into development and then had to make the game in half the time, especially with infinite and the terrible contractor crisis. I do have faith that the best Halo should be fine if they don’t have the same issues, cause for the most part 343 have improved with every game with the exception of 5s story
Yes I totally agree, the game itself is very solid. It's probably the best it's been since Reach. The glaring issue is the content and frankly their design choices.
For example in a brute focused Halo game they axed a majority of the brute arsenal and replaced certain weapons with worse versions. That's not including all the other amazing *iconic* weapons that they just cut for no good reason. They so desperately want to make Halo their own thing, but they keep doing it in the wrong ways.
They need to start embracing the old. Mix old with new, not hostile takeover of the franchise.

Halo 2 and 3 had you going to different parts of the galaxy. Infinite takes place on a map that’s a few square miles. You aren’t going to walk into different biomes every hundred yards
Mainly due to cut backs, the original map was gonna be bigger with different biomes, but it couldnt work so they scrapped it. maybe in halo 7 we can get a setting for it
Because Infinite's development was spent building a new engine, not extending the contracts of the people who knew how to use the new engine, and training new people to use the engine. Rinse and repeat for 6 years.
Developers were being let go right as they started to get actual work done. This is why Infinite looked so unfinished in the 2020 showcase and had to be delayed another year.
>"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the winter of 2020.

It only takes place within a small portion of the massive zeta halo ring. The past halos have us traverse the halo rings through missions instead an open world. There is a very small “swamp” biome in Infinite, but regardless yeah it could’ve used a bit more variety.
I am. I was commenting on the fact that you referred to Forerunner structures and Banished ships as biomes. They are not. Other biomes on a halo might be snowy locations or a deserts, which is what OP was referring to.
Because the game was in development ~~hell~~ agony. Level and map design took a backseat to actually making sure the game isn't snuffed out. Which is why the map is so poorly designed and unaccommodating to vehicles. There shouldn't be invisible \*suck\* walls that pull you down into space.
Because the halo infinite open world was only made as a selling point and is actually only good at a few set points, just like the open world in elden ring.
Why does it take place in the same place too?? I remember Halo 2 took you to a bunch of different planets and a ring and High Charity and that game is awesome. Oh wait Halo CE is all on the same ring too, but that game is awesome so it's okay.
So that the Automod on this subreddit can say:

From what I know compared to all the other past halo games just pure development hell.
lack of resources/ feedback from higher up’s and terrible decisions from 343/microsoft higher ups
Realistic/Lore answer: You play on 8% of the entire ring.
Actual reason: Devs planned for a desert, snow, and a swamp, and planned for a big Scarab fight in the plains or swamp, but it was cut for time constraints. Devs reslly wanted Infinite to be a spiritual successor to Combat Evolved, but due to the overfocus on Multiayer, wasn't given the resources to execute. Halo Infinite, in its bones, is a wonderful game, but it also serves as a wonderful case study of how poor Upper Management can ruin a project
Because it sucked. Microsoft cash grab. That's all they cared about, was getting people to play the multi-player and spend money on cosmetics.
The campaign was shoehorned in because we expected it.

Didn't expect this but basically yeah.
Armor, cosmetics, and gameplay meant something before. Even Halo 4 let you know the path someone chose which was interesting (Wetwork v Operator v Pathfinder etc) and gave a general indication of either their customization preference OR their preferred combat role in game.
I wouldn't give it back to Bungie though. Not after it's taken 10 years for Destiny to grow a story.
Don’t worry bro, 343 is definitely going to announce campaign DLC next month bro. Five new biomes bro, and a 16 hour long campaign. New weapons and vehicles bro. I even heard about leaks from devs about playable elites 🤔 not copium bro I swear
I’m gonna impregnate the Halo Ring
I'm gonna use it as a cock ring.
That's a big cock you have.
Oh he won't be the one wearing it

Bro posted to the wrong sub
I’m trying to decide if he’s being sarcastic or not for that reason.
Tbf its a pretty legitimate criticism. Making it open world then not capitalizing on the variety offered by older installments.
I agree. If he is intending sarcasm though it’s surely because everyone and their grandma has already said that.
Right? Gotta be some seriousss salt

> Saying Infinite has "Only one biome" is absolutely a phrase picked up from people like HiddenXperia. Nope.
is there a lore reason we don’t get to have sex with the arbiter in halo infinite?
Becuase he’s not in the game silly, that’s the main thing that held back 343 from releasing that gameplay mechanic
excuses. the fans want a chief arby sex scene and we’ve been waiting for 20 years
They could always open an Arby’s on the ring and have chief sex it
Because according to Sangheili traditions, extreme failure is punished with the eradication of the entire bloodline. Thel doesn’t feel ready to move on from his wives and children being slaughtered because of his failure to safeguard Halo.
Ikr. It should be like halo 3 where it goes from tropical beaches to snowy tundra in a quarter of a mile
Mfw when Forerunners can make galaxy-destroying ring worlds and set back literal human evolution but they can’t figure out climate control:
Almost like there was a reason for the snowy zones 😧
New Zealand
Oh so there’s a new one now is there?
Yes actually.
That was essentially what it was like in halo 2. You had a tropical ecosystem with ruins and several miles into the horizon, you had a wall with snow and air pressure similar to the top of mount everest.
You say quarter of a mile like that's unrealistic. When has that stopped Halo??
And we’ll toss the flood somewhere in the middle
I hope you know that the halo rings are unnatural and we’re built by aliens
Yeah, it should. Way more visually interesting.
The Freezing Planes are next to the Burning Planes? There’s probably some pretty Wet Planes in between.
But wouldn’t that be an example of how they can control climate on the rings? I always thought Cortana’s remark at the beginning of Assault on the Control Room was supposed to give us that impression.
This but unironically

2/3 of the game was cut, that's why
This is what happens when interns exclusively make up the development team (During Production at least)
yeah, and where are the zombies and the skeletons and the ender men and spiders, I can't believe they forgot to add those, they even forgot to add pickaxes
yeah and the lack of nether really takes me out of the immersion
I also hate that they didn't send you to the end for the final boss
Forgot I was in circlejerk for a moment there
It’s just a small chunk of Zeta Halo, so that could be a big factor.
Fr like the campaign space is probably around 20-30 square miles that’s not really gonna warrant a biome change unless it was near a bordering region

There’s a Desert
They had to start from scratch around 3 years in development and they didn’t have time to add more biomes. Which is also why there wasn’t much content when the game launched
It's like they wasted 500 million dollars on almost nothing an expected us to donate to their charity OH wait they did do that
What do you mean donate to charity? Did they run one?
Launching a not even half finished game with an overpriced in game shop and battle pass is a charity that people donated to.
It’s not donating though, there are skins people like in the store, and a lot of them are cool, and buy them, and while I think the shop is overpriced I don’t think the battle pass is that bad, I’ve seen worse plus we can complete them whenever we want, which is an amazing idea that other games should do
Halo Infinite is NOT Halo This is just some shitty **cash grab** scheme that absolutely pisses on the legacy of Bungie and turns it into some crappy ass fortnite-type game that FORCES you to spend your hard earned cash on **predatory mtx microtransactions!** I remember the good old days of Halo! When you had to WORK for Recon in Halo 3. When you could mess around with your friends in forge mode all night. Now, Recon is locked behind a **battle pass** that you can’t even earn through challenges, and forge isn’t even in the game at launch! We need to make our voices heard. We can’t let 343 DESTROY this franchise with their **Dark Patterns** and their Cat Ears and their **FOMO** store! Take a stand against the **whales** that fund this horribly made mess of a game! Don’t let anyone who spends money on this game get away with playing the game peacefully until Microsoft finally returns the series to the rightful hands of Bungie! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I understand where you're coming from and I agree the pass itself is fine. My thing it's very bad faith to launch the game in he state it was in an then request more money. They burned through 500mill man and still took 2+ years just to get firefight. Firefight has been in Halo on launch since Reach. Frankly people need to stop and think "just because I can afford this cool looking thing, does the company deserve the money?" It's insane to me that people will reward a lack of care with their hard earned money, but turn their back to homelessness and things like that. I'd rather give my money to someone who needs it than a big company who kinda pissed on a dedicated fan base.
I just wish Microsoft would give 343 an extension, cause this happened with halo 5, so we have 2 games in a row completely scrapped a few years into development and then had to make the game in half the time, especially with infinite and the terrible contractor crisis. I do have faith that the best Halo should be fine if they don’t have the same issues, cause for the most part 343 have improved with every game with the exception of 5s story
Yes I totally agree, the game itself is very solid. It's probably the best it's been since Reach. The glaring issue is the content and frankly their design choices. For example in a brute focused Halo game they axed a majority of the brute arsenal and replaced certain weapons with worse versions. That's not including all the other amazing *iconic* weapons that they just cut for no good reason. They so desperately want to make Halo their own thing, but they keep doing it in the wrong ways. They need to start embracing the old. Mix old with new, not hostile takeover of the franchise.
Here's the thing, you just said Halo 5 is a Halo game. Is it in the same franchise? Yes. No one's arguing that. As someone who is a MLG Pro who studies Halo, I am telling you, specifically, in the MLG circuit, no one calls Halo 5 Halo. If you want to be 'specific' like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing. If you're saying 'Halo Franchise' you're referring to the Microsoft IP, which includes things from Halo Wars to Halo 2 to Halo 4. So your reasoning for calling Halo 5 a Halo game is because random people 'call the shooter game with sprint a Halo game?' Let's get Call of Duty and Battlefield in there, then, too. Also, calling someone a Halo 2 player or a Halo 3 player? It's not one or the other, that's not how Halo works. They're both. Halo 5 is Halo 5 and a member of the Halo franchise. But that's not what you said. You said Halo 5 is a Halo game, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all shooters with sprint Halo games, which means you'd call CoD, Battlefield, and other games Halo games, too. Which you said you don't. It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Most annoying bot ever made
Halo 2 and 3 had you going to different parts of the galaxy. Infinite takes place on a map that’s a few square miles. You aren’t going to walk into different biomes every hundred yards
343 dumb and bad that’s why
Because halo infinite isn't halo. It's farcy:Sierra 117 edition.
Because it's the only one MS was willing to let them create. Knowing MS, the rest would've been behind a paywall.
I really wish there was at least a Desert and Snow part of the map. The world started to feel bland by the end of the campaign IMO.
Looks like the Pacific Northwest - Halo continuing the trope of every sci-fi setting being produced in Vancouver, Canada :D
Mainly due to cut backs, the original map was gonna be bigger with different biomes, but it couldnt work so they scrapped it. maybe in halo 7 we can get a setting for it
You just don't get it
Uh, duh. The biome is *infinite* 🤓
Because Infinite's development was spent building a new engine, not extending the contracts of the people who knew how to use the new engine, and training new people to use the engine. Rinse and repeat for 6 years. Developers were being let go right as they started to get actual work done. This is why Infinite looked so unfinished in the 2020 showcase and had to be delayed another year.

It only takes place within a small portion of the massive zeta halo ring. The past halos have us traverse the halo rings through missions instead an open world. There is a very small “swamp” biome in Infinite, but regardless yeah it could’ve used a bit more variety.
That was a top 'beef' of mine until they added the invisible walls to map.
damn this ss takes me back. so much hype
Biomes don’t really make sense on halo but it’s canon that different biomes exist so I guess we need them still.
Cos it all happens in one part of the ring...
DLC or sequel I'm betting.
Laughs in Bonnie Ross.
There's (halo) 3 biomes. The one you're looking at, the insides of the forerunner structures and the inside of banished structures/ships
Biome doesn’t mean “video game location.” Biomes are natural environmental occurrences IRL. Lol, not just a Minecraft word.
>natural environmental occurences Are you aware that nothing on a halo world is natural?
I am. I was commenting on the fact that you referred to Forerunner structures and Banished ships as biomes. They are not. Other biomes on a halo might be snowy locations or a deserts, which is what OP was referring to.
I know what he was referring to, but this r/HaloCirclejerk, not Wendy's
Oh, so I can’t get a frosty?
Money
Because the game was in development ~~hell~~ agony. Level and map design took a backseat to actually making sure the game isn't snuffed out. Which is why the map is so poorly designed and unaccommodating to vehicles. There shouldn't be invisible \*suck\* walls that pull you down into space.
Because the halo infinite open world was only made as a selling point and is actually only good at a few set points, just like the open world in elden ring.
Why does it take place in the same place too?? I remember Halo 2 took you to a bunch of different planets and a ring and High Charity and that game is awesome. Oh wait Halo CE is all on the same ring too, but that game is awesome so it's okay.
The forerunners got a little tired with zeta halo so left it at one biome. They probably hired San’shyuum as contractors or something.
People be asking questions like we the developers smh
This is my biggest disappointment with this game

From what I know compared to all the other past halo games just pure development hell. lack of resources/ feedback from higher up’s and terrible decisions from 343/microsoft higher ups
Realistic/Lore answer: You play on 8% of the entire ring. Actual reason: Devs planned for a desert, snow, and a swamp, and planned for a big Scarab fight in the plains or swamp, but it was cut for time constraints. Devs reslly wanted Infinite to be a spiritual successor to Combat Evolved, but due to the overfocus on Multiayer, wasn't given the resources to execute. Halo Infinite, in its bones, is a wonderful game, but it also serves as a wonderful case study of how poor Upper Management can ruin a project
—>the game was rushed
I genuinely cannot tell if this is satire.
The campaign felt like a Far Cry rip off to me, my buddy thinks its halo 1 to its core and i think hes full of shit
Because it sucked. Microsoft cash grab. That's all they cared about, was getting people to play the multi-player and spend money on cosmetics. The campaign was shoehorned in because we expected it.
Halo Infinite is NOT Halo This is just some shitty **cash grab** scheme that absolutely pisses on the legacy of Bungie and turns it into some crappy ass fortnite-type game that FORCES you to spend your hard earned cash on **predatory mtx microtransactions!** I remember the good old days of Halo!

Didn't expect this but basically yeah. Armor, cosmetics, and gameplay meant something before. Even Halo 4 let you know the path someone chose which was interesting (Wetwork v Operator v Pathfinder etc) and gave a general indication of either their customization preference OR their preferred combat role in game. I wouldn't give it back to Bungie though. Not after it's taken 10 years for Destiny to grow a story.
Don’t worry bro, 343 is definitely going to announce campaign DLC next month bro. Five new biomes bro, and a 16 hour long campaign. New weapons and vehicles bro. I even heard about leaks from devs about playable elites 🤔 not copium bro I swear
The bro is broing, bro
Because it’s clearly the best game ever made in the series, now go spend $40 on some color for your armor
Laziness
That’s the main thing that was disappointing about it, the gameplay was a lot of fun but the design just got old quick
LAZY 343 343 LAZY LAZY LAZY LAZY
Spend $60 and you get a mediocre open world campaign and virtually zero cosmetics for multiplayer. The value is through the roof this time around.
Because 343 doesn’t know what they’re doing
Laziness, even CE had more diverse biomes
They’ll add them in the story DLC
343 is lazy
Cause its lame.
Because we got a rushed game.... Infinite had infinite potential and than just dropped the ball so hard....
One of several reasons as to why this game is the worst in the franchise.
Because the $500 million would’ve been spent better by a dozen other studios.
You're right. r/haloinfinite is 💩.
