I’m a longtime Halo fan and I’ve been following the gameplay announcements for Halo Infinite. A lot of it looks exciting and promising, especially for players who are looking to come back to the franchise. While a lot of it looks great, I’m starting to get pretty concerned that infinite will be a problem for competitive play. I know they’re trying something new to the series, but running out of ammo with your starting weapons and being strategic about finding pickups has always been a staple of the game. In no other game have we had infinite ammo for all game types, so why now? I’m curious if it’ll just be for starting weapons, or all pickups as well. I guess I trust 343’s judgement, I think they’ve done good things with the series since they’ve had their hands on it, this one is just pretty questionable to me.
What do you guys think about Infinite ammo?
Where has infinite ammo been mentioned?
Now that I think about it, yeah where has infinite ammo been mentioned? Didn’t think about it at first and just answered but I don’t remember where infinite ammo was mentioned. Would you mind giving a source?

What? Who mentioned infinite ammo and where?
Everything looks superb so far. Only gripe is the grenade hit marker and turn down the level of yellow on hits.

All I can find that would give OP this idea was a section of the multiplayer overview vid where the devs are explaining the Academy (at about the 10-minute mark). It includes a clip of shooting a moving bot with a BR with unlimited ammo. That said, I doubt this is the case outside of the Academy.
Edit: realized too late that OP was making a joke post.

I think this is pretty much self-explanatory and shouldn’t require mental gymnastics
to figure that only the training ground will offer infinite ammo to toy around and learn
the weapons mechanics.
Halo Infinite (Ammo)?

Never underestimate people’s ability to ignore context clues. Especially on the internet and extra especially when it comes to video game discussions on it.

Who has said that there is infinite ammo in all game types?
Infinite ammo, Infinite shields, Infinite health. In reality, Halo: Infinite is going to be a digital metaphor for the futility of individuals trying to change the world or their own fates. And to think that 343 almost had us fooled that it was going to be next entry in a two dacade old FPS franchise. Move over Pathologic, gaming has a new king of digital nihilism.
Wait what? Where did you hear there would be Infinite ammo?
Because of the title
This is a fair concern. When Halo 5 came out, I was really worried about the Guardians (e.g. who they are, are they dangerous, will they be in matchmaking like H3). Infinite is something we haven’t seen in a Halo title so far, so I’d say I’m cautiously optimistic. It’s gonna be weird having infinite ammo as it deviates from the Halo formula.
I understand. Halo: Reach was another one that was cause for concern at first. After seeing the title revealed, I quickly jumped to the conclusion that bullets weren’t going to be able to reach the opposite side of the maps in matchmaking. Luckily, this was only the case for the grenade launcher which has proved to be a welcome addition to the franchise. Hopefully, Halo: Infinite can do the same and introduce a cool new concept with the infinite ammo.
