Can’t wait!

Grenade proximity damage hit markers, or no?

I agree. This brings me back to the days of hitting a button to lower my weapon to go a little bit faster because the base movement speed was so low, and the grappling hook was my favorite part of Combat Evolved and Halo 2. The warthog was complete unchanged this entire time, and they even got the hit markers to be an exact 100% recreation! The skin of the grunts look the exact same, and the pastel colors on them just brings me back.

/Sarcasm

Any chance we could get a 5760x1080 wallpaper version for those with triple monitor setups? This would look so cool for my setup!

I could care less about graphic fidelity or new weapons. I wanted to see how the story was going to be salvaged from Halo 5. And I get the impression that they are just going to ignore it now and focus on fighting the banished instead? Obviously we’ll get some more trailers and info the closer we get, but i’m not feeling too optimistic now.

Cant lie, I’m not a fan of open world. I’m actually kind of sick of them, the market has been super-saturated with open world games for a decade now.

Here’s hoping its more of a Metro Exodus open world where its more of a carefully curated set a paths and areas moreso than it is a Far Cry style open world

The game looks so amazing! Im hyped!

Beta plis . .

How the hell is this anything like Halo 3?

A little iffy with some textures but overall, I thought it showed great promise. the grapple is great way to modernize movement through the sandbox. I hope everything comes together in these next few months.

Ign said that even though it’s open world the story is still linear so as far as campaign goes I think it will be fairly strait forward with the ability to run off and explore if you wanted

Youtube is a very poor representation of real gameplay. Bandwidth issues, etc. This was nothing more than a quick show of what’s to come. Nothing beats playing it on your own Xbox instead of some clip of it.

I’m willing to believe that it’s entirely related to the end of Halo 5. I’m thinking that the Infinity made a “blind jump” into slipspace and ended up at this Halo ring, the Ark, whatever, just like the Pillar of Autumn did in the first game when it reached Halo. Of course, that begs the question, how did the Chief get there? Wasn’t he last seen on Sanghelios? There’s got to be some connection to Cortana and stopping her and the Created. Maybe the answer is on the Ark, or this Halo ring; perhaps it’s some sort of weapon that the Banished are after too. I never played Halo Wars 2 so don’t know much about that storyline. And this is all speculation of course.

I thought also Cortana banded together with all the AI’s to setup some kind of “New World” by killing everyone off by using her newly acquired ring. But what did MC learn from dr halsey? When they last left off? Looks like the Banished is being used by Cortana? With now the Covenant? Very interesting indeed.

Yoooo same here, really hoping they support multi-monitor on Inginite. MCC for the most part works well though Halo 3 has a few issues with cutscenes

The lack of communication on the issues the community has as a whole is kinda disconcerting, as they made a pretty bad first impression (graphics-wise.) I hope the end-product is better than it looks. I think this could be the best halo in years if polished from what we saw.

You honestly didn’t notice anything wrong with the lighting? I’m super excited for Halo Infinite, don’t get me wrong, and I’m really not trying to hate on 343i, but it looks off. Like a Halo 2 Anniversary map before you bake in the lighting or something. The designs are great, and it looks like a vibrant world, it just looks like the graphics are set to medium instead of Max. Idk if that makes sense, but that’s just what I got from watching the 4K gameplay!

Im hoping with the open world aspect, theyll be able to fill the map with meaningful content as opposed to just a bunch of check marks to complete. I hope theres plenty of easter eggs and non recycled level designs/ bosses.

Just wants to add a commentary of what I feel about the enemies in this gameplay demo (especially those drop pod brutes)
: They drop down not trying to kill you, but to give you xp.

Exactly. There’s not even a mention of anything from 5 except for that holo image of all the infinity locators. And something as big as having at least half of all the A.I’s in the UNSC turn against them is something that should at be shown. But because they didn’t, i’m very worried about how this’ll turn out.

That Vista concept art is gorgeous!
