To further explain my statement, I think the Halo Infinite should be set out and focus on human characters similar to those in Halo 2. Halo 2 Anniversary was so far, in my opinion Halo’s best cut scenes, but not just graphically, the choreography and limited number of characters made it simply effective and lovable. There was basically only Miranda Keyes, Sgt. Johnson, some Marines, of course Master Chief, Cortana and that’s all I can remember from the human side.The universe felt easy to understand and catch up with. It was nearly close enough to a movie. This is why the Halo Infinite story should be inspired by Halo 2 Anniversary’s cut scenes. In contrast, Halo 4 and 5 more so, lacked character development, memorability of characters and ultimately engagement, because the characters were too complicated, dim and emotionless and there was too many of them!
I think this is just the overall story of the game, not the cutscenes being the majority. When I read the title of the post, I thought you were talking about the Anniversary style cutscenes.
If they can match or exceed the quality shown in H2A then we’ll be onto a winner that’s for sure!
This is a perfect example which I hope 343i can learn from: Halo 2 Anniversary Cutscenes - "05 - Ladies Like Superior Firepower" HD (Blur Studios) - YouTube
