This is why I can't take any game seriously with crossplay on. I also don't buy that the mouse is so bad compared to the controller. At range, mouse can track and flick shot way faster.

Almost every lobby I am in has some PC player wrecking everyone else. It just seems really odd. I know they aren't all cheaters, but they seem inuhman at times.
There’s definitely cheating in Halo Infinite, but I think it seems like there is even more because of how damn inconsistent the online multiplayer is all the time. Halo Infinite is the only game where I feel like there’s a dice roll for so many encounters. One game two shots and melee is enough for a kill, the next it’s three and a melee, next a nade and a melee is not enough, one game two heatwave shots are enough, most others it’s three, etc.

Honestly I think the armor colors from the lockers are better than most of the ones you unlock/buy.

I agree somewhat about the outdoor visuals, but have many times found them quite beautiful. Mixed bag for me. Sometimes the details are awesome then others it's very obviously cross gen.

All that said, I am so happy that I have that same desire to play through campaign again. So much fun. I actually do like the story, and the Weapon has earned her spot. Not so sure about the pilot which annoys me cuz I was all on board with him after the trailers. Needs more development. Maybe that's on purpose...

I didn't really mind him, bit annoying early on but once he tells his story then it makes sense. Also he should stop killing marines when dropping off vehicles 🤣

he is just 1 player, imagine 100 of players
But the result is the same.

Unless you're 1 of the top players playing at the highest rank, skill point bracket or what ever, your experience will be very different. Yes, you will experience a cheater rarely as they climb the ranks but 99% of the time you wont.

Streamers get it even worse because people stream snipe them.

Not making excuses. Cheating should never happen, and such a lackadaisical approach to it is terrible. But for the vast majority it isn't going to be a big issue. At least as far as ranked goes.

Yeah there's definitely some netcode issues. Those are probably the biggest actually. You'd expect a 4v4 game to run just fine on a modern game, but there's definitely some weirdness. It doesn't happen every game, but it happens too often.

It is funny cause none of the big 2021 shooters work great. Halo is the best of them, but I re-downloaded Apex Legends and have been playing Arenas, a 3v3 single life TDM mode, and it just plays much better than Warzone Pacific, Vanguard, BF2042 and Halo Infinite.

If you like Arena shooters or hero shooters I suggest giving it a try.

I saw on Twitter that people are finding 2042 selling at extremely low discounts at physical retail.

Must be an American thing. I have seen it as low as £50 over here for the current gen which is only a £10 reduction.
 
I did see that, but that seems to be a one off. It still shows as normal price at most retailers. It was down to $40 for the holiday sales.

Honestly too it could be a photoshop, because yes, people do hate games enough to make up stuff like that.

f***, those photoshop people need better things to do in their life. Good grief.

Not surprised, people are dropping the game like garbage, had a look at it's steam count the other day and it's almost at the bottom of the top 100.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Dead by Daylight
Destiny 2

If we listened to the tweeters/youtubers we would never know these things.

I was just looking at the current player count on steam, BF had a massive launch but seems to have fallen off quickly. And looking at that link it doesn't even feature in most concurrent players.

3rd party games are much bigger on consoles(it's popping on PS5) but the game has been a mega success on PC still as the above shows.

Looking at the list you will see certain games missing.
 
The top 3 played games on Xbox as I type this are 1. Fortnite, 2. Halo Infinite and 3.Apex. 2042 is currently sitting at #26.

I think 2042 will bounce back. It has got the hate train chugging in full force. People are acting like it is Cyberpunk levels of bad or something. It will bounce back with some new patches. Dice takes the whole holiday off so they've done nothing on the game for weeks and left it in kind of a bad state.
 
Finally finished campaign. It was good. I don't think it was anything huge. I like Weapon alot. The pace was decent. Not much else to share about it. I won't be playing MP. I have 0 interest.

It will, in 4 to 6 months when it hits Gamepass/EA Play.
