Looks like 343 confirmed this in their waypoint post.
If they think that the demo shown is in any way acceptable for the final release of the game I am very worried for Infinite and the future of the Halo franchise.
Maybe these developers aren’t the best people to take the franchise forward?
It would explain the radio silence from 343 and Microsoft after the backlash to the demo.

And I’d be fine if it was. Graphics are decent, not the best I admit, but gameplay looks great. I’d be happy to play what I saw.

No it’s not the final product, they still have 4 moths to work on it.
Yes, it is an old build. By old I mean that it might have been done In May/June.
But yes, it is unlikely that the demo was made on a 6 month old build like some are saying.
Because Ani Shastry said they worked a lot to polish the demo and all people claiming that the build was old are referring to an interview of Aaron Greenberg were he only says that the game is still being improved week after week, but he never said it was a 6 month old build.
And given that both MS and 343 were proud enough to show this demo that is supposed to showcase the power of the console.
That the demo takes time to show us the ugly scenery as they were proud of it.
And that 4 months is not that long to get enough work done to fix all the issues.
I agree that what we saw may be not far from what we will get in November.
Gameplay mechanics seemed completely acceptable as a final product.
I wouldn’t call it a backlash. A backlash looks more like this: Official Call of Duty®: Infinite Warfare Reveal Trailer - YouTube (like/dislike ratio).
People are sharing their concerns and disappointment with what was shown. On the other hand a lot of people are still excited. I’m still curious about the MP but the gameplay reveal lowered my expectations tbh.
All that quote means is that the area we saw in the demo is the final game, it does not mean that the demo was the final game.
Open world games have to sacrifice some graphics quality to keep performance decent for gameplay, linear games can pump up the quality because of smaller scenes.
The game looks nice enough from the 8 min demo, rather play it then some lame ubisoft empty open world game or gta sodding v.

Agreed, this has been well received generally.
The least happy are usually the loudest.
Overall it’s made me more excited, I was very happy with it and it can only get better (final release and ray tracing).
I think that can be interpreted a couple ways. For example, it could refer to the final scale of the project (originally, 343 had been planning to build the fully explorable ring, which was scaled back). It could also mean “final” as in there won’t be new weapons/ vehicles developed for release at this point, because the launch sandbox is set.
Interpreting it the way you’re indicating does directly counter a quoted date that came out yesterday indicating the demo build was from late March/ early April. (Quoted as 4 months old)
Just some thoughts.

I wouldn’t agree on “well received generally”.
You clearly don’t understand game development if you think that “final game” suggests that this is a finished product. What it means in this context is what the content is in the final game, meaning the gameplay scenarios are finished… Optimization is not complete. Why exactly would you assume that a build that’s at very least months old in the final version of the product? That makes no sense.
Have you ever heard the term “content complete”? That means a game has all the content, levels, missions, cutscenes in place, it does not in any way mean that the game is done.
I’m not sure why I’d have expected people on here to mature and not still be making giant hyperbolic statements about a game that they haven’t even played yet, maybe that’s on me for expecting too much from people but man, these threads are hilarious. They show how fickle and uniformed a portion of the general fanbase still is.

People who post on the forums are not indicative of the whole community. 83% of people who voted on the video liked what they saw.
If people aren’t generally happy then they’re doing a terrible job of actually making that known.
That quote doesn’t even claim that this is the final version of the game, just that this was the “final version” of the demo, which could in fact be a build months old as has been previously shared. There is no discussion of value to come from this thread.
