You can play halo infinite VERY competitively with joysticks and gyro too, it feels made for steamdeck controls especially with the heavy focus on (absolutely amazing) vehicle combat.
A month ago or so it was crashing really regularly on me, but now it seems to be working fine. I can easily get a steady ~50fps with the graphics all the way down. Yeah, the graphics don’t look amazing on low and there are weird graphical artifacts sometimes but it is far from ugly and the core halo gameplay is just so well balanced at the moment that who cares how it looks when it plays like that.
(yeah it used to suck, it doesn’t anymore)
firefight is so fun to play on steam deck. i am also happy it doesn’t lock up my steam deck anymore
Same it was infuriating to be like wow I am so close to an awesome multiplayer experience except it hard crashes my steam deck every 15 minutes lol.
Also I didnt bring this up before but yeah the integration of AI into forge mode is actually pretty massive especially because the halo enemy ai doesn’t need much scripting or fiddling to be fun to fight. The amount of crazy shit that will come out of forge mode with ai enemies is going to be hilarious.
