Halo (franchise) - Official Discussion Thread

Halo Infinite is definitely the best Halo 343 has made. i mainly want more playlists, more maps and to get rid of the randomized vehicle drops
-
Between the three director shifts and a pretty boring abysmal showing 12 months ago, it’s good to see they finally made a good Halo game. I could kinda tell the second I saw the montage trailer that this was going to be a massive improvement.
Apparently the Campaign is full of nods and Easter eggs across the entire series which is a good way to celebrate a game called “Infinite” and will allegedly be the one Halo game for a long time. May as well make it a platform to just be all things Halo.
I still think I’m gonna hold off until co-op launches in 9 months. I can’t shake the disappointment that games used to release as GOTY contenders with all features in place, but nowadays they get patched on a roadmap.
-
@phbz yeah where’d that guy go?
-
@e_zed_eh_intern Banned, still.

He told me he got permabanned. I'll miss Shim. Even a nice forum needs an edge sometimes.

OT - EZA Impressions w/ Ben & Brad
Youtube VideoTL;DR
- Open world freedom is nice
- Grapple Hook is essential and fun addition overall
- Story has more heart and emotional weight than recent entries
- Solid boss battles and tough difficulty
- A lot of samey open world-ness, but Halo physics can make it fun
Other things I've been reading elsewhere:
- Intro levels are linear > majority of game is open world > some linear levels > ending is all linear
- Enjoyable solo but some parts are clearly designed for co-op (which is missing and will be missing for 9 months... sigh)
- Awesome soundtrack the remixes Bungie-era music and incorporates new music for a nostalgia whirlwind

He never really added anything to the discussion. I could not care less.

But can we shoot out the lights?
-
@bigdude1 agreed. good riddance.
-
I wish they added player collision. It’s pretty unbalanced in a lot of scenarios.
-
@bigdude1 not just collision.
I've been noticing lag's been happening alot more the last couple of days. Like i'll start shooting someone and then a few seconds later they will teleported slightly over.
It happens sometimes when trying to beat people down too
-
-
@yoshi iv had that happen too,like the whole world gets shifted around from the lag.

Papa Schreier in the building!
How Microsoft’s Halo Infinite Went From Disaster to Triumph
I used Incognito to open it. I think VPN should work as well. I haven't read yet.
I'd love to see a Schreier article about VTMB2. I am really longing for any straightforward insight about that game.
-
played the first half hour of campaign. it's pretty fun so far. excited to keep playing after work
-
@yoshi Has Infinite unseated Dread as your GOTY?
-
Played 4h straight, rare thing for me. There's some rough stuff in here, above all the cutscenes, ouch! pretty atrocious stuttering. Terrible way to open the game.
But... Gameplay is phenomenal, hands down best in the series. Sound design superb too.
-
@jdincinerator never. what is this blasphemy? also i'm still more addicted to Pokemon Unite than i am to Halo right now
-
@phbz what platform are you playing on?
