I wonder how soon they’ll give us anything Campaign related? We’re just about 2 months away from release and not seeing anything on it is somewhat worrying.
Also just a fun idea to throw out, if they can’t really show us Campaign footage, how about they release a public demo of Campaign with limited content? I think allowing players to poke around on an updated E3 demo could be cool. Be nice to see how different it looks now. It’s not a likely scenario but would be awesome if they did it.
I’m genuinely astounded we haven’t got anything yet this close to release. I know they are shipping the F2P multiplayer and game pass means they are less focused on pushing retail sales, but damn dude!
I’ve never been a big campaign guy for Halo, but I’m so up for this open world change. I’m super keen for some campaign footage. I want to see how much it has evolved since last year.
I don’t think I’ll be playing too much of Halo’s multiplayer this time around so I’m keen to see more about the campaign, I find it quite odd that the advertising for Infinite has been pretty minimal besides a few product promotions.
I don’t know why they still haven’t shown anything about campaign but i think will see campaign in November
I have watched the trailers up until this point, but I think I will try not to watch or read anything more, if more substantial info is released. I went into Breath of the Wild mostly blind, and I think I really enjoyed it because of that. I discovered lots of the sandbox myself. I didn’t even know horses would be ridable before I just tried sneaking up on one myself to find out, for the example. With Infinite being more open world than previous games and having a wider sandbox and different ways to approach things, I’m thinking I will get a lot of enjoyment by going into this game more blind, like I did with BotW. I already wdy have seen a bunch of small sandbox spoilers on YouTube from people who have exploited or hacked the PC version of the game. I’m going to try to avoid more of that.
Prob next month. Pretty sure they are just focsuing on finishing it and then will start capturing stuff for trailers. I understand why they are playing it close to the chest, but the game also needs a healthy marketing cycle. I would expect start - early mid November at the latest for a campaign trailer or info.
Halo has literally never had a public access pre-release build of campaign.
Ever.
Why are people all of a sudden concerned that there hasn’t been one after 20 years of there never being one?
Is it because MCC flights campaign patches now? Because they’ve only done that once, and it was just a cosmetic patch for CE.

Correct me if I’m wrong but H3 did a beta where select players came in to try Sierra 117 and they hated it. Almost all the demos for CE were scrapped up until Silent Cartographer materialized. H2’s “campaign” demo was faked. H3 got the private play test. IDR how ODST and Reach went. And IIRC H4 and H5 we got next to nothing and when we finally got to play those we were even more disappointed than with Bungie titles that have kept us into the dark due to those games being so off brand.

That was not a public access beta. They brought a small handful of people into their studio in Seattle for closed door testing under a strict NDA. This is normal, every game does this. But no Halo game has ever had a public beta for anything except multiplayer.

They said they’ll be showing campaign before release but they’re currently focusing on “shutdown mode” which is fixing bugs and polishing. There isn’t really a need to worry, let’s give 343i opportunity to do their job.
If I had to guess we’ll probably see campaign footage on November 15th for the 20th anniversary of Halo & Xbox. I wouldn’t expect anything before then.
I also doubt we’ll get actual hands on with Campaign before release too. Putting a campaign build out to the public takes time & is easily breached by PC players to data mine and leak the story of the game.
My best advice, be patient and sit tight just like everyone else. Campaign footage will come in time.

Yes but they did this around the time campaign was already completed if I’m not mistaken. I just wanted to add that the closest we’ve ever gotten to a pre-release campaign demo and it wasn’t even a demo. People HATED it but that’s how it was going to be regardless of their input. Bungie/343 has always held their card close to their chest when it comes to campaign details. Kind goes back to how far their heads go up their own butts when they get really hyped on a feature they think is super cool but breaks the game but won’t remove it out of pride.
