Translated, the streamer said the following:
The gaming community as a whole was ready for a new, damn fantastic game and Halo dropped the damn ball. Everyone in this damn company should be ashamed, man. [The studio] 343 is a joke. They are damn terrible. They don’t give a crap about anyone who plays their games, old or new. Their damn pride and ego got in the way of what could have been incredible timing. God, it could have literally taken everything over. But instead, they now have 800 people in the damn game.

What does the community say about it? On Twitter, user @hiBeekle shared a video excerpt the same day in which Nickmercs rant about Halo Infinite (via Twitter). Many users agreed with the streamer in the comments:
- @CodyReese: ‘100 %’
- @vs Douggie: ‘We should all be playing Halo BR [Battle Royale] right now – it hits so differently. Very sad.’
- @ZaayWoop: ‘If they had come out with more maps and a well-thought-out BR from the start, it would have changed the game. Since BRs have existed, I have always wanted a Halo BR, as it could have been better than anything coming out now and I have been a Halo player since Halo Ce.’
Halo Battle Royale, the salvation of the Halo franchise?
What about a Halo Battle Royale? There are rumors that the game studio Certain Affinity is working on a Halo Battle Royale mode.
Here you can read what info is available on a possible Halo Battle Royale.
In the past, the developers have been asked about a possible Battle Royale mode. However, at that time they had rather disenchanted responses, and a Battle Royale mode seemed to be no option at all.
Maybe this will change now after the many negative comments from fans and Twitch streamers like Nickmercs.
What do you think about a Halo Battle Royale and Nickmercs’ criticism of Halo Infinite? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
It’s not the first time that Nickmercs has spoken negatively about Halo Infinite: back in March, the Twitch streamer called the game a flop.
