I highly doubt we’ll be getting a date for the next flight, news like that isn’t really suitable for a global Xbox main stage like that. That’s something you’ll hear about on HaloWaypoint, likely in the next Inside Infinite which would be a few days after GamesCom.
It’s likely we’ll see a release date. This is the last big opportunity to do that whilst the media and public have eyes on this event. With CoD finally getting their date for Nov 5th I think that’ll give Phil Spencer a better idea of when to drop Halo Infinite within his “4 week window” he already had in mind. The two games makes a lot of money, releasing them near each other would be potentially cutting revenue for Xbox.
Outside of that, possibly another short campaign trailer, BTB news or possibly a Forge trailer. I can’t imagine we’ll get any huge news or reveals since we’re getting fairly close to launch now. They’ve got to save some stuff for the launch.
Since Vanguard has finally been revealed and a release date given I hope 343 finally gives us a release date. The next flight announcement will probably just be on socials, and here. I would love to see more campaign footage. I remember being kinda blown away by the reveal last year. Despite it being met with criticism I thought it looked fantastic.
with the poorly received campaign reveal at last year’s e3 I think 343 should be concerned with trying to pull people back in with new, better looking and more captivating campaign footage.

Considering how much stuff they left in the files of the flight, it sure would be nice to finally get a release date. I can’t wait until years have passed and employee NDAs expire and folks can explain what the hell happened these last 6 years. The original trilogy released within a 6 year window, I wonder what derailed H6.

Hasn’t it more or less been confirmed that it’s mid November? I remember some Mexican third party advertising accidentally dropped a date right around there.

Considering the negative criticism and general disdain for H5 by the broader Halo fan base
I’d say that had A LOT to do with it if not the sole reason. I’m part of a small minority of the fan base that loved H5.

As amazing as that reveal was it was then that my opinions of old Bungie purists were validated. They won’t be happy with anything 343 does even if it were revolutionary.

I don’t think Warzone will return to the game ever. They could announce the Firefight mode, tho

If I’m not mistaken ( I could be thinking of another game) but, isn’t Infinite built on a brand new game engine. Like completely new and not just layered on top of the old one like Halos CE- 5 were? Because I thought that’s why it’s taken so long along with the last year facing Covid delays.

I’d really like to see something on this “Bigger big team battle” that was mentioned. I’m team BTB all the way and ever since reading/hearing that, I’ve been pumped!

BTB actual gameplay showing how the Razorback works. Campaign gameplay showing indoor combat and teasing some of the more RPG-ish / open-world mechanics such as day-night cycle and upgrades that were teased in Inside Infinite and 2020 gameplay.

it wasn’t just bungie purists, it was the gaming crowd in general.

Forge reveal, possible date/month tease (most speculate November but its not like Halo has always launched November) and I guess a more comprehensive showcase of the vehicles.
Forge is the main thing I hope they address because frankly? Halo 5 forge had good utilities in map creation but the menu? IT SUCKED BAD - it wasnt fit for using a controller. I wouldnt mind a downgrade to the Reach version I can work with repetition, what I cant work with is 500 billion buttons that do 28473718838485892974 things depending on the combination and amount of pit sweat you’re accumulating.
Forge needs to bridge the gap between the reach-like acessability and ease of use and the 343-era forges more variable options and setting. Especially lighting. In Halo 5 you could set the time of day on the forge world-esque maps and this would affect how the entire map looked.
Forge has been shrouded in the dark and I think its about time we discuss or even just acknowledge the tools players will have to make their own maps and customs in Infinite and hopefully the years past it.

According to the files from the flight and some footage from the latest insider build, it is an upgrade to the blam engine. It could be a very modified version of the blam engine, but I believe at its heart it’s still very much the same engine.
