Am I the only who watched the whole thing in disgust? 343 just doesn’t understand what makes Halo fun. They thought slapping an old skin on master chief would fix their issues.
The art is very cartoony. Legit looks like a upres textured minecraft at points - The guns sound like toy guns, something they kept from their previous abominations - Goofy one liners and comic book tier villains. - Still no blood. - Another round of forgettable guns. Generic and unoriginal. - Grappling hook… Not really against it, honestly might be their best addition to the series. Need more info on it though. - Oh and that phantom… Why does the Phantom look so bad?I’m just writing this up quick but I theres probably a ton of other things to look out for, post it if you see it. I really think 343i doesn’t understand the sandbox of halo and get what made the OG Halos so addicting.
They’ve had 2 years to show off a demo of their game and its 8 minutes of nothing exciting. Thats seriously the best video they could put together? That didnt look that fun.
I think it lacks a sort of gritty-ness. I noticed some things could really benefit from it. Scuff marks and scratches should be more present. The warthog should be getting muddy as we plow through the muck. I like how chief looks. I like the idea of open world exploration. I like alot of changes made to enemies and such. BUT those rocks… At least I think they are. They look rather blocky and too cartoony. A lot of things did. The phantom was curious, but I didn’t mind as much as other things. The brute scene at the end was rather rough to sit through. I’ll be honest, I was and still excited for this game. However, from what I seen today I am bit concerned. I’m not hating or dogging on this game or 343. I want this to succeed. I realize time and money and effort have been put in to this game. The BR, AR, and elites from what I seen look awesome. All I’m saying is this, it looks good, but bring some grit and grime. It looks too pretty for a military sci-fi fps game. Tone down on the plasticy just a bit. Plasticy can be good if done right. However, I think that they should bring in some more realism. Also delete the grappling hook from multiplayer. Please.
Nothing exciting? I loved seeing a blend of art styles. I loved the grappling hook and fusion core tossing. And the villain didn’t scream comic book to me, he oozed confidence, so much so that he actually plays up the Chief rather than look down on him. It’s a foe who respects us and itches for a fight.

After spending so much time, money, and energy into this series for nearly 20 full years, I’ve concluded that Infinite will probably be the last Halo game I’d ever buy, let alone play.
They botched MCC and HW2 with their bugs/problems, some of which still haven’t been resolved.
And then this Infinite demo with cartoony graphics that seem low-resolution and poor quality. I just don’t even know anymore.
Im so glad to see others who agree the new graphic design of this game is shocking! Looks far to much more like a cartoon where as other halo games including 4 and 5 were going for a more realistic look and especially halo 2 anniversary and there cutscenes! Was so disappointed by the look of halo infinite today and the grappling hook just feels so out of place! Doesnt seem necessary at all! Master chief would have no need for such a item! I found it cringey and just thought DOOM ETERNAL and BATMAN straight away haha where do they get these ideas?! You want halo back to its roots yet i dont remember any grappling hook in the older halo games?! Id rather they just kept the jet pack in for reaching higher points on the map

Not the final product? This game comes out in 5 months, they don’t really have much time to change anything. This is most likely very close to the final product.

True
We may have to deal with a repeat of Halo 5; updates for the game each month after realese

I agree man, this game looks like crap. I just don’t know why 343i can’t listen to the community.
The more time I have had to think about Halo Infinite today and what I saw, the more I’m starting to almost feel…sick. It’s sad, but…there’s a slight bit of disgust in my mouth. Something isn’t right, something is off.

I think that would be acceptable when referencing the multiplayer… but I dont know how I feel about the campaign.
Ok, I like and dislike some things. The enemies and explosions and vehicles just don’t look dirty enough. Other than that, I like everything. It just needs to look like the weapons lying in the dirt have actually been lying in the dirt, if you get what I mean

As someone who usually has a very scarce amount of internet at my disposal, I really hope the game launches solid. New content and such is always welcome, but I don’t want to have to install stuff online to be able to have a good experience. Halo 5 really lost me at first when they did that. Not being able to play customs or forge. Not a good impression there. Hoping they will learn with this one.
Some of y’all saying how you feel sick and heartbroken might want to take Chief’s advice: Breath.
We saw a demo of an older version of this game. Will the final product look better? We shall see, but let’s reserve final judgement on the final game. You can be disappointed and unimpressed, that’s okay. But goodness to see doom and gloom and calls of Halo being dead are getting old. I’ve heard that banshee cry since Reach.
True 4 and 5 were too busy+unpolished at times, but 1,2,3,reach didn’t look so cartoony. H2A a bit at times (space station) but not on the ring. Halo 3 tried to be realistic and reach was super gritty. The only game to look like this was HW2 which looked awful.

Remember it’s unfinished, so the bad sounds of halo 5 are placeholder and the graphics will likely be more polished. Other than that, remember that people wanted it to look like the first games, so that’s what they got. Granted, some things like the vehicles, the anatomy of the covenant and some weapons maybe come exactly from wars 2, but mostly it’s the same.

I WISH I COULD LIKE THIS POST HARDER.
Honestly people have been complaining since halo 2 and that demo was completely tossed and they started from scratch. Apart from CE, 3 was the only game to receive little complaint. Things really did seem to worsen in the community around reach and I feel like it’s because in each title ce-3 multi player took huge leaps so if a story didn’t do it for you you could go try something else.
Peeps are looking at the past with rose colored glasses h2 was nearly a disaster and you all love it. This doesn’t look like a disaster, complain after it’s out of you must. Man I feel like this community became a bunch of grumpy old dudes.
What are people expecting here a rebuild of an engine from over a decade ago with no changes but the story itself? Get real.
