Just wanted to leave this here for speculation. I think it could be possible we get a release date at the end of the month. Thoughts?

We should definitely get one soon. I’d say either reveal next inside infinite, next flight, or something like gamescom

No doubt in my mind. It took them this long to show anything off and it’s allegedly not the final product. Most alphas/betas are representations of the finished product, but there’s no way they could release it in this state.
They keep saying holiday, but that’s far too vauge. They’re afraid and they know it.

I give it until mid september. Phil said we’ll have more clarity over the summer. If we don’t have one by then I’ll be right there with you.
I’m not sure they want to release on the 15th as the anniversary… Better to go before then and use the day as a big promotion / celebration. Maybe even establish it as an annual Halo day!
Gamescom sounds perfect for a release date / trailer. Late October would be my guess.

Late October is too close to battlefield imo

Battlefield is the 22nd?
COD is still TBA?
What degree of separation do you think they need? Two weeks… Longer?
I honestly think they are waiting for Cod to give their official release date
I’m honestly think the same the Cod Reveal & Then The Halo Infinite Release Day

I’d say longer because Forza is early November. I say either the 16th, black Friday or the week after that.

100%
They are pushing for a holiday 2021 release date yeah?
So we willpush that as far back as possible to say mid december to maximise the xmas dollar
Thats approx 4 months away
so in for months they have to do the following
Comiple flight data
Analyse flight data
Discuss changes needed based on data
Impliment changes
Internally test changed
Change what needs to be changed
they then have to do that with a minimum 2-3 more flights
Yes I know this build was two months old, but thats even more fo a concern
Theres simply enough time to cut and polish the gam (IMO)
also,approx 4 months out (Less if they are eyeing november 20th) and we still don’t have a release date, we still have no news on limited or collectors editions no special edition controllers or consoles
That along seems like a bad idea since the game is nearly completely F2P (campiagn is free on game pass)
Giving people less than 4 months to pre-order any of these things will result in massive monitary losses
I dunno…I think its getting delayed again

Every fix they are putting in for the flight builds will be implemented into the main build.
As for the special edition consoles those will be scrapped due to the chip shortage
I still have hope for a November-December release. 343 has over 700 employees and I’m sure most of the fixes from the first flight have already been implemented. Since the game is stable all they have left is to change UI, balance the weapons, and fix bugs and performance. The actual development cycle seems to already be near an end so with that said… a few months left of all this should be plenty of time to get the game complete enough to where they can ship it. Then there’s the usual day 1 patch which will cover even more fixes.

Summers basically over homie. Tell us there will be a push back with a date so I can stop worrying about taking time off the week before. It’s starting to get a little silly.

Gamescom perhaps? If not, again I’ll be right there with you.

Yeah I understand that all the fixs will be in the final build, but thats my point.
That -Yoink- takes time yeah?
No special edition consoles will be sad as that (besides microtransactions) is the only way the game is going to make money, but still, no special edition controlles no collecrot editions announcements?..I thought we’d have this by now
Changing the UI and balancing the weapons is no easy task either, sure won’t tak as long as some of the other things I listed but it will still take some time
but we don’t want (and hope they don’t want either) a game that is “complete enought to shio”
They took that approach to H5 and then gave us BtB as “free DLC”…it concerns me

Perhaps but gamescom has historically been about reposting what they report during the E3 days. Hardly a day they’ll drop news like a juicy release date or a brand new title.
I’d wager a solid push back before or during it’s anniversary. That’s my safe bet. I’m alright with a delay, it’ll just give it more time to bake. Just don’t look at me drooling at the lip, give it to me straight.

i think will be 117, like 7 of November or maybe 15 November to celebrate Halo CE 20 YEAR mark.
