Looking great

 

[Black_Stride]

Sorry, but if you're worrying about the life and nature and need to stop in the middle of multiplayer to "feel" shit or whatever. You need to be kicked off the match since you got your priorities wrong.

But but but Halo has always had nature, dynamic shit going on and whatever the fuck Sybrix used to see in Halo games.
As someone who has been an avid Halo player I dont remember any of this dynamic full of life shit this cat is talking about....but obviously it was just me not paying attention because theres a fucking Spartan trying to kill me.

 

[Mr.ODST]

Do you know this is multiplayer, don't you?

Shhhh dont ruin his Fanboy narrative to make themselves feel better

Yes. I don't care if people ramble on about it regarding the single player even if I don't agree about the graphical issues or whatever on that either, but in MP the only thing you should be caring about is killing that Spartan, getting items/vehicles, or avoiding dying. Not a personal ASMR experience.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

This has to be watched from your 4K TV. It looks so damn good for MP. Makes me that much more excited for Campaign.

Very good looking, very detailed, especially that map with that gigantic blue cylinder like thing spinning at the bottom.

 

[Vasto]

Just watched it in 4K and very impressed.

 

[FireFly]

- Plastic looking, no ambiance, dull

- Feels like a real world, the background sounds alone make this feel more alive than anything Halo 5 had

You're comparing an arena map to an outdoor B2B map. See 4:05:

Hahah this cracked me up alot more than it should have.
Sybrix isnt here for the killing hes here for the ASMR experience and to watch the flora and fauna.....the gun in hand is just decor the only new equipment Sybrix wanted is a camera so he can do his bird watching in Halo.

 

[Javthusiast]

Battle pass doesn't expire
Can purchase old battle passes
No buying your way through the BP, so the last unlocks actually mean something
BP is entirely cosmetic

Fuck all the other battle passes and their FOMO shit. This should be the standard.

[Bernd Lauert]

Loving what I see. Can't wait to get rekt by some 13 year olds since I suck at online shooters lmao (I regularly fuck their shit up in Fifa though, division 1 ezpz).

 

[Sybrix]

Lol, loving these mentions and tbh….. you're not that far off XD

I'm one of those gamers than wander the world of RDR2 looking around

Halos environments were one of the biggest draws for me

Halo 5 completely destroyed that for me and Infinity looks the same, bland and stale and not for me unfortunately

And trust me when I say there are a lot of players like me, I get some are focused on gunplay etc only and I get that but that's the beauty of games, they offer lots to lots of people… sadly now Halo offers some to some people

You still havent shown us the MP Halo games that had all this dynamic full of life shit you talk about?
Which maps specifically.

Weve all got MCC we can boot them up right now....or load up through BC so we can all see what we were clearly missing because we were stupid enough to be shooting in a shooter.

 

[Teh Chosen Juan]

I believe ADS is gone. If what I'm seeing and stating is correct it is the best thing to date bar none. ADS in any FPS eats dick, going back to Halo 2 scope overlay and full vision while firing scoped or not is cornerstone classic Halo above all else.

Please be right. Fuck yes!

Odd as that's the one thing i don't like about Halo games is that there is no ADS. you're saying ADS in like BF and COD "eats dick"?

If your tunnel vision gets worse you go blind

All games have more to offer than the core experience, an FPS core experience is the shooting, the best ones also offer stunning environments which Halo 5 lacked, like I've said, plastic looking textures and next to no ambiance

Bruh nobody does that in online shooters. People turn down graphics in fucking counter strike because all they want to see is the enemy.

Which maps in which Halos are you talking about.
Since Halo 5 was the downfall.
Im going to assume you mean Halo 4 and under.....so which maps?

P.S 120Fps vs fucking Flora and Fauna in my MP shooter?
Yeah maybe you should stick to single player.

I have played every single Halo some professionally, but others just for fun and I have no fucking clue what you are talking about. Forge updates in 5 alone add more ambiance and liveliness than any other halo.

 

[cormack12]

Sybrix

 

[Balducci30]

Not everyone does that

Dude - are you sure you're not talking about campaign though? Like... single player? This has never been a thing in MP

 

[Sybrix]

God, the Xbox fan boys are out in force today

Lol, it's my opinion, if you don't like, move along, I've posted video examples and described my thoughts. If that isn't enough for you you'll never get it

I'm not an xbox fanboy I just am confused - fair enough though if that video is describing what you mean... I don't really see what you're talking about is all.

 

[Phase]

It might just be the nostalgia talking, but there's something off about this.

Do you mean in campaign?
When do you have time to take in the sights and sounds during a battle?

The video you posted doesnt show anything that you describing......what dynamic and full of life in that environment versus what could be made in forge or even during a Warzone match?

 

[OverHeat]

I wish we could see the ranks or K/D ratio
of users who are complaining about the game in previous Halo titles…

I do mean MP

a map like Valhalla is a perfect example, there environments look more real to life

Halo 5 feels and looks plastic, the textures are so flat and lifeless and Infinitiy looks the same… just my opinion

 

[YukiOnna]

I really hope future updates bring in playable elites. With the amount of effort going into Spartan customization, I don't mind if it takes long, but eventually having playable Elites again would be cool.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Sorry, but if you're worrying about the life and nature and need to stop in the middle of multiplayer to "feel" shit or whatever. You need to be kicked off the match since you got your priorities wrong.

It's nothing but the same concern trolling i see posted in every halo infinite thread rn. The graphics look fantastic and the games art style is stunning but the way it's being described is like it's some PS2 level game

 

[MvCSpiderman]

Glad to see Super Armor lock. Everyone missed the original from Reach.

 

[Codes 208]

and, again, you have to make some graphical sacrifices when you're targeting 120fps

 

[That Damn Kid]

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

This will seriously take alot of player base from cod and battlefield as being f2p, if this turns out to be a massive success I think traditional 60 dollar multiplayer games will just die

No it wont lol

 

[Phase]

If you do this on waypoint you notice a trend. Those who hate sprint, etc., "the new Halo" mostly have the highest k/d's and w/l ratio.

 

[fatmarco]

This is correct.

Halo 5 was awful aesthetically. Plastic and dead.

I do agree in the sense I want to see more environmental movement, atmospheric dust etc. This was an issue with last years campaign demo too, there was zero movement to the flora and barely any fauna.

Still very happy with what I saw of the multiplayer, glad its trying to reclaim its old identity.

What is your GT?

 

[ResilientBanana]

Not to mention, the ones who want hits on their youtube channels.

 

[AJUMP23]

I like that a battle pass does not expire. You can decide how to apply your XP. That is cool, no pressure to finish before the next one.


I also see no way to sign up for the BETA.

 

[Phase]

What is your GT?

baaask, though I've had many accounts over the years. That is just my waypoint linked account.

Edit: Most of my gameplay was in original 2 and 3 (and Reach for a bit). Barely played MCC and didn't care for 4 or 5.

 

[PaNaMa]

The first question I asked myself after watching this (and I think it looks excellent) is: Why stop at Xbox and PC?
If MP is F2P like Fortnight and Apex and all that, then why not release it on PS5? Switch? If you want Halo to blow up, blow it the fuck up!
Bring the whole world in, sell those battle passes, get people. buying Halo toys and shirts and digital things etc. Really go all in.
The PS5 guy drew his line in the sand and is pot committed to that hardware. But he'd sure as shit play Halo Infinite on Playstation and suddenly you're reaching him and all his pals.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Game looks awful as expected, it looks like a COD and Overwatch ripoff and nothing like Halo.

 

[splattered]

Funny I amissing out on finishing current fortnite bp as I stopped halfway through and soon COD when it ends and was literally thinking God it would be amazing if we could continue our battlepass purchases alongside a new one or start when we finish the current one. And boom here it is. You guys better appreciate this shit and hope it lights a fire in the MP community of all games.bour lives/wallets would be so much better off if it does. Haven't watched the video yet but I like what I'm hearing in the thread so far.

 

[FireFly]

Halo 5 has outdoor maps too:

 

[Nemesis Prime]

and, again, you have to make some graphical sacrifices when you're targeting 120fps

It's already a huge upgrade from last year too

 

[reksveks]

A ban that's been coming for a while. This is Halo arse halo game.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Should've shown this yesterday, this put most of my worries to rest. Can't fucking wait.

 

[cormack12]

I think people are trying to describe traditional arena's in all honesty Sybrix

Look at Doom 2016 (largely acknowledged as the best arena FPS last gen), they have the same open design and pared back environment etc. It's all about movement and speed. Too much crazy geometry ruins the flow, and having bloom, volumetrics, fog and dust just won't lend itself to the style of shooter.



This is Destiny 2, also arena style, open levels with simple geometry. Line of sight and height differentials. I guess what I'm saying is that it's exaclt yhow I'd imagine an arena shooter to look? Traditionally speaking.

 

[Gravemind]

People saying Halo 5 multiplayer looked better. LOL. Go play a game of Warzone on Halo 5 and then come back here to try and tell me that with a straight face.

Some people just can't bring themselves to accept the reality that the game has really improved since the initial reveal. Just clinging to their Craig meme for dear life

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Odd as that's the one thing i don't like about Halo games is that there is no ADS. you're saying ADS in like BF and COD "eats dick"?

Yep. Who wants all the engagement blockage. If I want realism I'll go fire guns for real. Games deserve clean gunplay IMO. I cannot stand all the ADS geo in the way and moving about. It just detracts not adds.

Doom 2016 MP was so underrated. I played it a ton and enjoyed it a lot more than the new asymmetric mode in Eternal.
