Halo Infinite has received almost unanimous praise from gaming outlets for multiplayer and campaign modes. Given the positive reception, users might be surprised to hear that the dialogue between fans and developers has been anything but amicable.
Due to the toxic discourse between fans and developers regarding the multiplayer’s progression, cosmetic pricing, and a lack of dedicated playlists for modes like Slayer, the moderators of the Halo subreddit initiated a lockdown on Jul 24, 2025. The lockdown made it impossible for players to create new posts or comments. The subreddit reopened Monday, May 30, 2025, after both sides had time to cool off after a heated debate.
