That. I just make sure to close out the game completely when done with it. Saves me a headache after.

I'm in love with this game.

So backlash has apparently been mighty and fierce over the GamePass leveling. 343 is going to revamp it. That's the good news. The bad news is they have to wipe everyone's progress to do it. So don't get too attached to your levels. I'm assuming you'd keep any tchotchkes you've already unlocked but who knows.

To compensate they're giving out the monthly award (a gold visor, whoo!? ) to everyone who logs in next week.

So with that coming down the pike, I might give it a rest (after I unlock my next award) until it's fixed.

Well that's a lovely "feature." I'm only 2 days into owning the console and other than 4k there's not a lot to gush over since they didn't revamp anything. Quick resume was one of the few new features I was looking forward to.

The Questyen

I've had a Series X since launch and always use quick resume and never had an issue unless the power went out.

Do you have to play Guardians prior to this? I played all but #5.

Michael Corvin

^ this is just the multiplayer at this point. The campaign doesn't come out for another few weeks. Halo is one big story though where each game builds on itself, so I don't see why this would be any different. On the flipside, I think the Promethean story was pretty despised by most so hopefully they moved on from that. If that's the case then you could probably skip 5.

The quick resume technically works i.e. the game boots up but once you try and load a multiplayer game it fails, no matter how many times I try. That's when the force quit/restart comes into play and things magically work.

OldBoy

Thanks MC. I know just multi out rn, but just wondering how connected 6 was to 5 in SP campaign and if it matters. My buddy said yeah bc of Cortana stuff…

Michael Corvin

That could be a factor but the point was, it's not out for another 3 weeks. We don't know what the story is or how they're connected. We'll all find out together.

The Cortanna stuff was jump-the-shark material in the Halo-verse. They fucking ruined an amazing character and unique dynamic. It's going to be tough to recover from that.

OldBoy

Gotcha. Maybe I’ll skip.

Halo Infinite Campaign Co-op and Forge Mode Releases Pushed Back

https://www.ign.com/articles/halo-in...rge-mode-delay

RichC2

It's weird how piecemeal some releases are these days. OTOH, the beta to this is the most fun I've had with Halo in fifteen years.

Michael Corvin

Same. Easily the most fun MP since Bungie was in charge it's a shame 343 has bungled everything else. The whole chasing a gaming trend with the battle pass is currently a joke. Not being able to earn credits while playing, also a joke. Removing 99% of cosmetic upgrades that have been in the last few Halos only to put them behind a paywall, joke. Tying XP to challenges breaks the MP. People hop in to get their challenge/XP instead of playing the objective. It's a shame 343 is intent on just following everyone else instead of coming up with something new. Bungie set the bar for other games to follow with Halo... 343 has yet to figure out what Halo is supposed to be.

Also, if they're going piecemeal like this then they should charging as such. Campaign is already overpriced at $60 considering MP is free. Campaign should have been $40. With these other delays $20-30, tops.

Halo has always been a single player game to me, so I’m really looking forward to the campaign. People seem to be pretty positive in it so far.

I’ve played a few hours of the Infinite multiplayer and it just isn’t for me. I’m having a much better time with Call of Duty. The match to match progression is more satisfying.

Xander

I see some of you old-timers online giving this a try.

I've found it pretty fun so far, though my skills have atrophied significantly.

Where's Shlug, I need a warthog driver.

Adam Tyner

Campaign reviews are up and extremely positive: 87 on OpenCritic as I write this.

JayTL

I can't wait.

Loving the Multiplayer too

Spiderbite

I haver to admit that I am enjoying the MP as well even though 9 times out of 10 I suck.

I am so out of practice but it definitely feels like Halo of old. Looking forward to the campaign. I assume it will be included in GP as well? I saw a mention of charging for it but I haven't read certain neither here nor there.

Adam Tyner

And the best news...? No Prometheans!

It is included, yeah. The talk of charging is just in contrast to the multiplayer.

Multiplayer = free
Campaign = $60 purchase or GamePass

OldBoy

Can’t wait to crack into campaign. I think it’s gonna be a blast. Glad I purchased so I own rather than who knows future. Plus, I own all and love all Halo.

Obey The D

I'm enjoying MP quite a bit. Takes me back to my days of playing Halo 2 with a lot of you...like 17 years ago. Man I feel old.

OldBoy

and Combat Evolved was like 20! fuck! I missed it that first time but I glad I found it on 360 eventually.

JayTL

If it's any game that "required" an online connection, I always load back up into a "disconnected" message on Quick Resume. And some games it a quick reconnect. Others it's just easier to close out and restart.

But with the quick loadtimes, it's not a big deal to me either way

Schloob1

Seriously, the campaign is not available on GamePass until NOON cst today. AND cannot be downloaded ahead of time either. UGH

JayTL

Yeah that's weird to me. But I guess the reasoning is because it's not a game you download/access...but a mode inside of the game.
