Halo Infinite Starting Poses

So, I love the new game, and while yes most of it is hidden behind a pay wall, events like the Tenari Fractures are very fun to play. But this is not why I have come here.

Imagine for a second, your players starting animations. (Cracking Knuckles, Shadow Boxing, etc.) what if there were others? What if, as all of the starting animations have a time set, what if you could have one as say, an ODST dropping and breaking out of the pod, then getting into position, or dropping out of the back of a hornet? The game can do so much, and hopefully not behind a paywall.

That would be cool. Also an option to pick your starting stance, like you can your victory stance.

This and assassinations are the two biggest missing customization categories imo

I was saying this too. It honestly doesn’t make much sense to only monetize the end stances. I think it’s because they are a little lazy and stances are easier to make than a full animation.

true we need assassinations back. 343 kinda lazy if ima be honest,at least when it comes to this halo infinite (multiplayer content)

They have said they might bring back assassinations, but first they have to figure out how to do them in a way that make them a disadvantage to use.

+1 I like the idea of vanity animations

I’m sure they will eventually add intro animations, because it’s something that they can definitely sell. However, unlike victory poses, intro animations would cost more since victory poses are static, they don’t move at all. Animations would cost like $25 each.

I’m sick of being the shrug guy every game.

They actually do have a breathe cycle, although that is the simplest animation. Definitely not as complex as an intro.

I’m really surprised there aren’t more starting animations or that you can’t choose your starting animation.
That’s gotta be something that’s coming soon.

Assiasinations are confirmed coming back, but not till around may 2022. So we got to wait for a bit, but im fine. Assinations give a downfall cause you can’t cancel them and they can take valuable time if you are being shot at

The Halo series should have had only one starting pose since 2009, and that’s a first person drop pod entry.
