It's just the direction they took, they were focused on making it look old school Halo, and the game play. It's hilarious that this board, who constantly states that gameplay is more important than graphics, completely roast this game that was being made for gamers first and graphics second.
Now you will see it delayed (and rightly so, since it doesn't look so great), and they will come back with some better Graphics to save the day, but really.........never seen a game so unfairly treated that has never been played by a single person........
What if Halo Infinite was ready to go as a 10/10 for gameplay, 10/10 for story, and 7/10 for graphics? I don't think it would have been the end of the world.......
