We didn’t receive any news about Infinite at Gamescom. For the past few days it’s been “well they probably gave us the bad news about co-op now so they can blow us away at Gamescom.”
We haven’t received any proper news on campaign, besides the lack of co-op at launch, in over a year.
Is this a bad sign for what to expect Infinite’s launch to look like?
Im thinking the exact same thing. Maybe the lack of coop and forge is a sign of an even bigger problem to come.

Completely agree. I was (at the very least) expecting Joseph Staten to be there and announce a release date and the next flight. But we literally recieved nothing to balance out the bad news. I’m expecting that either 343i is discussing another delay internally or we’re in for a VERY bare bones and broken launch on par with the MCC.
Regardless of it being a sign or not. It’s pretty stupid PR wise for them to not communicate with us. Dropping bad news then going radio silent is never a good idea and is only letting negativity fester.

I really hope its another delay. Halo can’t afford another broken launch

I think you’re reading too much into it. They never said they were gonna be at Gamescom. What else is there to show right now without revealing the whole game?
We’ll see more when they start to roll out the next Flight. Be patient brother

^This^
You’ve got it pegged, brother.
Even if the game was actually ready to be shown today and they just chose not to they need to let the fanbase know. ESPECIALLY after dropping the major bad news that they dropped last week.

Meaning completely non-functional matchmaking? Wouldn’t go this far, since they already demonstrated functional matchmaking in the tech test. It might be a bad launch but not thaaaaat bad…

I was actually referring to the campaign itself. Sorry, that was my fault, I should’ve been more specific.
I couldn’t stop thinking about Patchy the Pirate saying “That’s it?” upon reaching the end of the stream. Maybe they’re saving the news for Opening Night Live?
There’s still another big event for Gamescom hosted by Geoff Keighley tomorrow called Opening Night Live. I wouldn’t jump to any conclusions until that’s over cause Halo Infinite may very well be a part of it.
If it comes and goes without any Halo news, then I’d start to worry.

Bringing up Patchy the Pirate genuinely made me laugh harder than it should have.

I couldn’t stop thinking of my ex gf saying those exact words to me.

Well I would wonder why Xbox didn’t just show it at their own event I completely agree. If tomorrow comes and goes and Geoff never mentions Halo then it’ll actually be time to worry.

Nothing can be as bad as mcc matchmaking was when it first came out.

It’s okay, man. She couldn’t handle it anyway.

Maybe you had a different experience but I played through all 4 campaigns in the MCC right after it first came out and ran into very few issues, the campaigns were pretty much seamless, despite the multiplayer being broken at the time

Then you had a different experience then me at least. I wasn’t able to start Outskirts on Halo 2 until after a patch, as well as other missions. There were many others but this one was the biggest one that got in my way.
Based on the schedule tomorrow I suspect you’ll probably hear more about Halo tomorrow.
(Since Xbox Games Studio is listed for tomorrow)

My guess is the next inside infinite will be out soon. How much news it gives us, I don’t know, but if it goes by the usual schedule, it’ll be Thursday.
