I cant wait! Getitngboith system on launch day!!!

Gears and Halo deserved a better presentation.

Halo is still 1.5 years away. There is still another E3 and 2 Gamescoms between now and launch. What we got was fine.

There is no excusing the pitiful Gears 5 showing though. That game comes out in like 3 months. Gears should have been the biggest part of their showcase this year.

 

[SpartanN92]

From the Cole Protocol. It could be him. I couldn’t tell if it was a Spanish accent or Eastern European accent. If we would have seen an M6 pistol with a wooden handle, then we would know for sure.

I need to reread that book. Now I’m gonna be reading all of Delgado’s lines in the pilot’s voice

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

I recently rewatched this trailer and one part just makes absolutely zero sense to me. When that soldier says the chief needs to see the destroyed ring to empathize that humanity lost...ummmm how does that show that? Like humanity wants the rings to be destroyed lol, it should be a good thing.

 

[Elder Legend]

So there have been rumblings of key people leaving 343 recently besides the creative director last august. However, from what I been hearing the "key" people that left were from previous titles and did not really play a major role during Halo Infinite's development. Long story short, you should not be worried.

Unless they colonized a ring outside of Cortana’s grasp.

Why would they have kept them around for so long?

Why use precious manpower and trillions of dollars to colonize them when its easier, cheaper and safer to destroy them? There's literally no benefit to leaving them around.

Every other colonized planet was EMP'd by Forerunner Guardians. Why would Cortana EMP a forerunner installation? It's kind of like the time the Millenium Falcon hid on the Star Destroyer.

Oh you mean they colonized it to hide from Cortana. If that's the case that makes sense, they lost the last hiding spot they had left.

 

[Gamernyc78]

Not a big fan of halo, last mp felt generic and stale but I want to see how this looks for Scarlet bcus then I might budge.

From what I've seen, it's the only thing that makes sense. The trailer makes it appear that their little fort doesn't last forever. The Key Art on the other hand makes it look like the game will be open world on that same Halo Installation. I'm assuming we will be trying to rebuild Cortana to some degree as a secondary mission.

 

[Bathtub Fart]

If the theories and rumors of infinite being more open exploration/non linear, then I'm afraid that Halo won't be the same and will feel bad.

When I go back to Halo CE through Reach one thing is abundantly clear: these levels were lovingly crafted (love them or hate them) and they provide a beautiful tight and curated experience with just enough variance and sandbox freedom to be excellent to return to time and time again.

I don't think any developer has the chops right now to pull off the great feeling of AI intensity and great encounter design in a more open setting. I'd like to be proven wrong though.

The benefit to leaving them around is they have catapulted humanities technology forward by decades (centuries in regards to Slipspace navigation).
Also I bet those Halos would come in handy against anti UNSC rebel forces or even the Flood just in case.

Most likely contracts dates. A lot of jobs in the industry are in and out and based on contract rather than permenant work. Very common.

Looking forward to playing this on a new oled I will buy this year. Does anyone have any guess on how much the 48 inch OLED LG announced at CES will cost?

Funny (or sad) that Halo 3 back in 2007 ran at 640p30 on Xbox 360.

I expect tremendous variability in resolution across platforms, but I don't know if they'll actually want to drop back to 30fps on any of them after making such a big deal (and making so many sacrifices) to get Halo 5 to 60fps. We shall see!

Well I mean with new technology people understand it, Gears 5 was able to move to 60 FPS throughout the entire gamestack on the One X while the One/S version was 60 FPS only in multiplayer and 30 for the campaign. The Coalition is only 1 hour and 45 minutes away from 343 Industries, they no doubt talk, have gone over how people reacted to this and it's likely not a big deal.

People understand the implication of better hardware and how older hardware cannot be expected to keep up with it, so they make work what they can and what they can't they omit or manipulate.

 

[Bathtub Fart]

I want the return of a meaty sounding AR and pistol from Halo CE back. I never understood why the original sound design was abandoned. Still sounds badass to this day.

 

[Simpkin92]

I wasn’t a huge fan of 5 sound design so hope it gets changed up a little bit.
Specifically the armor sound while running, reload sounds, and the headshot pop.

All of it was better than 4 though.

 

[CyberPanda]

The sound design in this game is gonna be amazing

So, basically everyone from 343i should stay away from social media ? Also, ske7ch is the community manager(not a game dev), its his job to interact with the community all the time.
