Despite multiple Seasons of content and plenty of bug fixes, hit registration inHalo Infinite’s online play remains completely broken. 343 Industries has beenupdatingHalo Infiniteconstantlysince its initial 2021 release, but there are some issues that the developer seems unable to solve.
343 Industries desperately needsHalo Infinitefans back on board. Although the content introduced inSeason 3 ofHalo Infinitewas seen as a step forwardfor the game, there’s still a lot of work to be done to win over the fan base. A year and a half after the game’s release, it seems thatHalo Infiniteis finally feature-complete, with everything promised pre-release now delivered. It has taken the developer a long time to get there though. For some, it has taken too long. Hopefully, the focus of the developer now turns to fixing more annoying elements of the game’s experience, such as the well-documented hit registration issues.

The footage posted by Redditor StrugglingMusicMan shows the extent of thedesync problems inHalo Infinite. It takes place on Tactical Slayer, a game mode with one-hit-kill headshots. The player clearly hits the enemy in the head, with blood flying out of the opponent. StrugglingMusicMan even slows down the footage for good measure which confirms the headshot. They do eventually get the kill, but it takes a melee attack to finish the job. For many players, this is the defaultHalo Infiniteexperience. Make no mistake - the hit registration in the game is completely broken at the moment.
These problems have been a source of frustration for manyHalo Infiniteplayers. It’s practically impossible to play the game without experiencing poor hit registration to some degree, and it’s understandable why fans are so frustrated. PastHalotitles didn’t suffer from this issue, yetHalo Infinitehas faced the problem now for a year and a half without a solution. It’s not as if the game is unplayable - it isn’t. But players just wantHaloto return to the top of the shooter tree. With issues like this plaguing the game, it will struggle to achieve that any time soon.
It will be interesting to see 343 Industries' approach to supportingHalo Infiniteonce Season 3 concludes on June 27. The developer is yet to announce any details about Season 4, but that end date is fast approaching, and players will expect new content coming their way. It’s presumed that Season 4 will see the addition of newmultiplayer maps forHalo Infinite, but nothing is certain. Hopefully, gamers should begin to hear more specifics throughout the duration of May.
Halo Infiniteis available now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
