Part of it yes. But there is also a Halo multiplayer that has been Mia for years.

Without a doubt. No disagreement there.

I’m on the fence about price . But thinking about launching on 3 platforms, game pass, and also having microtransactions would no doubt drive the price down alot.

MCC is doing extremely well on Steam. So now there’s a very big PC userbase for Halo games.

In my area back in the day it was $40. It wasn’t until a few years ago I actually found out certain places sold it for $60.

ODST released with the entire Halo 3 Multiplayer DLC package which at the time was a value of $30.

Ah. Now it makes sense why it was full price.

68

Uh no the campaign by itself is larger than halo 4 and 5s campaign put together. The demo we saw was “several hours” into the story.

They said it was halfway through the story. So if halfway is only “several hours” can’t be that big.

Can you show me where they said half way?

There was a video with Alannah Pierce whom had a behind the scenes with 343. The information came from her.

I’ll try and find it for you.

“Last week, we showed a mission that takes place several hours into campaign.“ that’s from the QnA from unyshek

73

They don’t seriously expect us to pay 60 bucks for half a game do they?

Alannah states that the gameplay reveal takes place halfway through the campaign. So if that equals only several hours. Then my goodness… Halo: Infinite campaign is going to be too short for a game that is supposed to last 10 years…

True. I’m still gonna love the game and play it all the time just because it’s a new halo

In this video Alannah mentions that the gameplay is roughly halfway through the campaign. So if halfway is only several hours long. I’m expecting another short Halo campaign… For a game that is supposed to last 10 years.

I don’t know. Even with updates, and good support, no game will last ten years. The money will dry up at some point

At what point? Unless I somehow missed it, i listened to the entire halo section and it wasnt mentioned. Can you time stamp where she said that

And 343 themselves have flat out stated it was several hours into it. I am much more willing to listen to them then alannah. An do recall alannah herself in another interview saying several hours as well. I havnt heard once halfway until you mentioning it now. And numerous “several hours”

I seriously doubt it’s the campaign they’re currently banking on carrying the game from the release. New “episodes” later, sure, but not this current one.

They’ll most likely release a full priced game which includes the campaign, and multiplayer “bonuses” to “justify the price”, maybe two or three battle passes, or a year’s worth.

A road-map will be shown, things won’t go as planned, there’ll be delays, changes and ideas replaced. The road map abandoned and refered to as only a concept or guideline. There’s litte chance they have 10 years forward staked out for Infinite that they’ll stick to. I even doubt they have five years forward in any more detail than vague concepts where they want to take it and what kind of content they may want to add.

And here’s the thing with “the campaign is bigger”.
It can mean map scale, they can seriously have taken the area of Halo 4’s and 5’s missions, except the Sabre run in 4. Summarised them and compared their Infinite campaign total map size. Unless I missed something, which I probably did.

Remember how extremely vague Frankie was when asked how long in terms of hours Halo 5 was? I sincerely hope Infinite has a lot of time in the campaign, but past i343 actions have me very cautious about anything they say, because what they’ve said about game aspects have been very precise in what it’s targeted at.

Loose quote.
Frankie om Halo 4’s multiplayer: “we don’t want players with a lot of game time to have an advantage over new players”.
That was on map ordnance, meaning that veteran players wouldn’t get an advantage over newer player by having learned spawn timers, object spawning and location.
How that works is true.
If we just forget that maps themselves have choke points, paths and points of interest which may take some time to learn. Weapons and their ideal environments and usage.
Or, or, the best part, that they included gameplay altering items behind locks which could only be unlocked by playing the game, the longer you played the more you unlocked.
