As a 'Battlefield guy' I'm actually starting to get more more excited about Halo then I am for 2042 lol.

It just looks like so much fun and the fact that the Battle Passes don't expire is a huge win. More importantly though as someone who basically grew up with Counter-Strike and Quake I think the close combat arena fights (with the occasional vehicle) ultimately sounds like a much more consistent experience in the long term if that makes sense. And one that I'd love to get good at.

I can see BF2042 being lots of over the top fun as well but the lack of content (especially during the launch period in any case) and random nature of every match, what with their crazy weather shenanigans, will get stale fast. I'm a competitive shooter fan at heart so if I'm lining up a shot only to get whisked away by a hurricane then I dunno how much I'll enjoy that after the 20th time of it happening.

Really hope we get some proper multiplayer footage of Infinite sooner rather than later. Holiday 2021 is still so far away.

I hope you are ready for SBMM in Halo. That shit will kill the game.
With Batlefield i can choose my own server etc

There will be social game modes and custom games browsers just like almost every Halo game before it ...

The biggest problem I see with the game is that it's an oldschool arena shooter, where you're running with a shitty pistol the whole time and have to pick everything up, meaning only one person at a time can be using a shotty, SMG, sniper rifle etc. It's 2021, no one want's to play shit like that other than die-hard Halo fanatics (there are dozens of you, I know). So even despite being F2P I think many people might get bored really fast and get back to their favorite BR games instead, which provide similar experience except there are actually shitloads of guns all over the maps and everyone can fully customize their equipment to their liking and game style.

I am sick of games with loadouts and customization. If this is an arena shooter where you pick up weapons, I'll be super happy.

When shooters got complicated and had loadouts and levelling is when I stopped playing them.

Gives me Halo 3 vibes and I loved Halo 3 even though I sucked at it but it was a whole lotta fun at the time.

That looks great!

Honestly, what I've seen of the MP has me very excited and I'm not really a MP guy. Haven't been excited for a Halo release like this since Reach. Has there been a more specific release date? Or is it still a vague Holiday '21?

Still Holiday '21, I think. Xbox Brazil put November 9th out, but I highly doubt it.
