Halo Infinite (XB/PC/Cloud/Game Pass) - Big Update out now.

I know it's a bit nit picky but have they explained why Chief has his old pre halo armour yet?

That looks fantastic :toot:

Am I right in thinking you’ll be able to download the campaign on its own? Really not fussed about the multiplayer so don’t see the point in downloading it if I don’t have too.

Yep.

Feeling properly hyped for this again now, got some real nostalgia greatest hits from that Campaign snippet today! Brought back memories of top moments like landing on the first Halo and seeking out the dropships, or finding the map room on the Silent Cartographer :wub:

I'm not expecting every mission/location on Zeta Halo to be at that level but if I can just tool about getting into fun encounters in a series of well designed areas that provide scope for multiple approaches then I can see me putting many happy hours into this!

Agreed. I like the vehicle selection piece. For nostalgia I’d always take a warthog or scorpion but like the look of the wasp. What was cool was the section where he tried to attack an outpost, got shot down but then was into it.

I guess with an open world they need to try and box off the finish areas, looks like that’s why they have the RPG upgrades elements, but I’m not sure how that works for the MC. Some elements to test out still.

Not much of a Halo fan, but that video looked great. I'm in.

I've no interest in the MP so am happy that the campaign looks excellent.

Wow. I didn't think last year's reveal was all that bad but just saw a trailer comparing the 2020 footage to this trailer and it's night and day. It's almost like switching between the old and new graphics in Halo 2 - obviously exaggerating a bit but it's a crazy upgrade, amazing the difference a year makes and seems delaying it was the right call , cannot wait now.

Wow, that is a huge difference.

Basically 2020 looks last gen, 2021 looks next gen.

Helmeted now :lol:

Thought this looked cool:

I've added stock update Twitter accounts back on to my Twitter bc of this. Looks stunning. Kind of like Combat Evolved dialled to all the way up to infinity.

Think it's a good Idea to have the new AI not know the story leading up to this game as it can be explained to her (and of course the player) in a better way. A good choice for new comers.

Halo Infinite will be released on December 8, but in the meantime, IGN has exclusive coverage of Master Chief’s spiritual reboot all month long as part of our editorial IGN First “cover story” initiative. That means we’ll be dropping exclusive content throughout the month of November (and yes, we’ve played the campaign – the first four hours of it), starting with today’s reveal of a brand-new Arena multiplayer map called ‘Streets’.

As you can see in the video above with me and lead multiplayer level designer Cayle George, Streets is a small, asymmetrical battleground set in New Mombasa at night. This immediately sets it apart, visually speaking, from the other Halo Infinite multiplayer maps we’ve seen in the test flights thus far. It’s got numerous subtle artistic touches, such as the “Holodog” advertisement, the retro-style Halo Infinite arcade cabinet that plays a MIDI version of the Halo theme, the skyline you can see in the background from certain vantage points on the map, and the glass railings that you can just smash right through. It’s a very fast map with short sightlines, and I really enjoyed it.

Later in our discussion, we also learned that there are at least two more BTB maps that we haven’t seen yet, called ‘Deadlock’ and ‘High Power’, respectively. Multiplayer creative director Tom French described Deadlock as “very dramatic,” saying it feels very “classic Halo.” It has a “very different mood” than the rest of the maps, he told us. High Power, meanwhile, started out as a “test gym” for BTB. And, 343 says, “Test gyms never ship. At all.” But they told a story about doing a BTB playtest on the-map-that-would-eventually-be-known-as-High-Power, and the hooting and hollering was so loud from developers and testers having so much fun that they all looked at each other and asked, “Oh, is this a [real] map?”

We’ll have much more Halo Infinite as November rolls on, including a look at what awaits in Season 1 of the Battle Pass, an IGN Unfiltered conversation with Halo Infinite head of creative and longtime Bungie veteran Joseph Staten, our hands-on impressions from the first few hours of the campaign, and more – starting with raw, full-match gameplay of 'Streets' this Wednesday!

Assigned to a freighter escaping the destruction of Harvest, two Marines confiscated alien energy shields while defending passengers from an enemy boarding assault. Their heroics led to a technological breakthrough that accelerated the development of the Master Chief's defense system. #Become #HaloInfinite

The graphics seem to have been downgraded. Would play.

My only interest in this is the single player game, still think its gooseberry fool not releasing 5 on PC though.
