343 Industries developers that may normally be working on fixes to desync are currently working on other aspects ofHalo Infinite, according to Brian Berryhill. Going beyond a simple explanation, Berryhill stated that there are a number of factors contributing to remainingbugs inHalo Infinite, but that the team saves helpful videos highlighting bugs in internal threads to find improvements and presumably ensure all of them are tracked thoroughly. Berryhill also noted that thoughHalo Infiniteplayers may not notice improvements on their end, 343 Industries developers have improved mobile objects like vehicles and stationary ones like bridges.
According to Brian Berryhill, the 343 Industries developers that have been sent elsewhere will be returning to “the Sandbox soon,” suggesting thatHalo Infiniteplayers may see their problems resolved in a timely manner. Berryhill gave credit to “the Community and Competitive Insights teams,” who both shine a light on the frustrating situations experienced by players in his update and clarified that theHalo Infinitedesyncaffecting melee damage is a high priority on the team’s list of fixes. Senior 343 Industries Community Manager John Junyszek has also stated that the team is taking feedback seriously as it reviews options internally in an effort to discover a fix.
Responding to Brian Berryhill’s update, Reddit user Skeeter_206 has expressed appreciation for the team’s dedication, but also disappointment that theHalo Infinitecommunity has shared bug issues from the game’s launch that remain unresolved. Although other Reddit users had their own complaints aboutHalo Infiniteto share with Berryhill following his response, several applauded the 343 Industries developer for being so transparent and honest. Given just how badHalo Infinitedesync troubleshave gotten, many fans also noted the importance of having responsive combat in an FPS game.
