Yeah I’m gonna do that a lot.
That is awesome! In cut scenes, these guys can always do so much more than just shoot a gun, so it's great to see 343 implementing that into the gameplay as much as possible.

I believe that was just one particular reviewer (ACG) saying he spent 40 hours with it, exploring the area of the open world available to him and such. All of these impressions we're seeing are based on the first 4 mission of the game, so that number isn't indicative of the game's length. We don't really know at this point, but it sounds like there's plenty to do.Looks better than last year.
Am I hearing 40 hours?
That's incredible if true.
xss 1080p 30fps yikes!
He also played the game on each difficulty iirc so he replayed which surely added to his play countI believe that was just one particular reviewer (ACG) saying he spent 40 hours with it, exploring the area of the open world available to him and such.

Maybe the FH5 GOTY declarations were premature?
Metroid Dread takes that crown.Maybe the FH5 GOTY declarations were premature?
I'm looking forward to the campaign after seeing some of these previews and playing many hours of the very fun multiplayer! Overall it seems like 343i have a winner.
But this, this right here is totally unacceptable and should not be given a pass. Especially after the YEAR delay
It doesnt bother you that the campaing is launching with only one biome, no weather effects, and most importantly to me, no coop, a staple of the halo franchise? The other stuff id be more understanding of. But my first run of every halo is in co-op with my best friend. What irks me is that this should be released as and labeled as campaing early access, because thats what it is, it seems like the campaign aspect will not actually be “completed” until some time next year. I also think they should have labeled the bf 2042 release as early access, considering how many features are not in it. Im sick of companies launching early access products and trying to pass them off as full releases for 60-70 bucks.
Holy shit, 343!!!!! The time and years they spent with this game really were fucking worth it. They took their time and implemented so many damn great ideas. I love how it's not only part of the upgrades, but they combine it with the friggin grapple, wow.
Best part about this whole slate of previews is hardcore halo lore fans, people whose opinion I respect on Halo, are heaping heavy, heavy praise on this game's campaign. And they have their criticisms too, but the few criticisms are ones I know I won't share based on what I've seen so far. They even put the map to its test, using the grapple to get to the most seemingly nonsensical locations, and even then 343 had still planned for and designed the area. There was a jackal and a grunt mule at the very, very top of a location that they probably assume most wouldn't even attempt to go.
These dudes are the Halo lore people I've followed for years, and who I trust on lore and campaign related stuff.
And so many more awesome impressions. But it's beyond clear 343 has a certified hit on their hands. This game is really fucking good by the sounds of it, and you got these hardcore Halo lore guys stating that the structure and design of the game, especially exploration bits, exceeded their expectations. He even goes as far as to say that Jen Taylor's voice acting in this game is some of the best he has ever heard in a videogame.
Somehow you got weapons breaking out of that tweat?
I've never gotten halfway through a Halo game, although I've tried a few times. They just haven't been my thing.
But, this sounds interesting enough that I may want to give it a shot. But, how much do you think I need to be up to speed in the plot?
I have no personal investment in the series's lore, characters, stories, etc. Do you guys think it would still be worthwhile? I should also mention I'm a single-player guy, so I'm only concerned with the campaign.
Even in the best game in the series (Halo 1) the lore was not important at all. It's typical boilerplate stuff and can be completely ignored. You will surely miss some references from previous games but where it matters most (fun gameplay) you would be just fine jumping right into this one IMO.I've never gotten halfway through a Halo game, although I've tried a few times.

Looks like my Breath of the Wild suspicions were confirmed. Many are making that comparison.
If people thought Microsoft was hiding this thing, think again. They've got a hit on their hands.
So the sound design is incredible according to one of the videos posted in here. Guy says that shots echo throughout the environments, even multiple shots done by you. Killer sound design he says.
They’re only allowed to talk about the first couple missions, so we don’t know either way.Have any of the previews talked about or hinted at other biomes? I find it hard to believe that after all the development that they only have one biome. I would think that once you get to certain point, the pilot takes you to another area (new biome).
For fucks sake
ITS A FUCKING JOKE, DOES EVERYONE HAVE HYPERAUTISM?
Please For the love of christ look up hyperbole, read it its fucking life changing.

Ok, good to know. I always thought Halo had more of a semi-serious on-going plot.Even in the best game in the series (Halo 1) the lore was not important at all. It's typical boilerplate stuff and can be completely ignored. You will surely miss some references from previous games but where it matters most (fun gameplay) you would be just fine jumping right into this one IMO.
They have yet in their entire existence to release a complete game on day one. They had over 6 fucking years and still can't get it right. At the very least, they need to fire Bonnie Ross. She is more concerned about her next women in gaming industry award than making sure the studio she was led to helm does what the fuck it is supposed to do keep the essence of Halo intact. Halo 4 and 5 are now black sheep of the series. Neither feel or sound or look like a Halo game now that Infinite appears to have gotten the Halo feel back.How about they just release a completed game after all these years and delays?
Hm ... depends on how you look at it I guess. Some people here seem to take it VERY seriously, whereas even in Halo 2 I thought the plot was well ... "losing it." I've played through every single one except 5, and frankly can hardly remember anything about the plots aside from a few things. And the things I do remember just ... it's not a story you need to know basically.Ok, good to know. I always thought Halo had more of a semi-serious on-going plot.

You're good to go.
Also I think this a STRENGTH of Halo before people start trying to bash on me. I can think of VERY few games with actually well executed stories, once you get past your teen years. Halo should be all about the action and how over the top it can get.
Fuck this looks awesomeThat is awesome! In cut scenes, these guys can always do so much more than just shoot a gun, so it's great to see 343 implementing that into the gameplay as much as possible.

Ehhh, there’s some really great lore in Halo.Even in the best game in the series (Halo 1) the lore was not important at all. It's typical boilerplate stuff and can be completely ignored. You will surely miss some references from previous games but where it matters most (fun gameplay) you would be just fine jumping right into this one IMO.
Playing this game on Cloud gaming makes the game look and run better than Xbox one capabilites.I’m super excited for this campaign. Would like to play it on something better than Xbox one but meh, I’m not willing to pay the Piper lol
Holy shit, this is looking special. Starting to see why it was in development so long and needed a makeover for the past year - game is ambitious as fuck for a Halo game. Can’t wait.
Seems more sarcastic. Unless u actually think weapons will actually break.
It looks like the same game it has always de. with 4K resolution
what's wrong with his comparison in the context that like how BOTW looked back to the OG Zelda as a foundation of the feeling they wanted to capture in their new, open direction, Halo Infinite is doing that with Halo:CEOf course that manchild Grubb thinks this game is Halo's Breath of the Wild lmao. I wouldn't expect anything else from him.
No there are plenty of open world games that are nothing like an Ubisoft formula for open worlds, Death Stranding, MGS V, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Deathloop, GTA etc etc.
Breath of the Wild however is just an Ubisoft title, right up to the meme towers. So Halo being just anouther Ubisoft title with the only difference being the fans get upset when you call it that is a little disappointing. Look forward to climbing my first tower to unlock the region on a map.
You’re in a halo thread where the fans of the series are reptatively getting bashed by Sony fans let alone other popular FPS fans. People just love shitting on the series for no apparent reason so forgive me for taking your dumb take as a serious comment. If you’re going to pull that shit, at least be funny.For fucks sake
