Since we know that co-op and Forge will not be there on day one I feel like it’s important to set our expectations on launch content.
The following is what I expect to be in the game at launch.
Ranked:
Team Slayer - SWAT - Doubles - Team Skirmish - Team Snipers - Brand New ModeCasual:
Team Slayer - BTB 2.0 - Team Snipers - FFA - Rotational Game Types (Grifball, Fiesta, Action Sack, Infection, and more) - Brand New ModeCampaign:
The most replayable Halo game ever - Exceptional story telling - Lots of optional content - Skulls - A Halo that you can roam around after the story is completeNot sure if Theater was confirmed for launch, but if it was I expect a dramatic improvement too this tool.
We all want Forge and Co-op to be there when the game launches, but this thread isn’t focusing on whether you support the game being delayed for them or not. Please keep the discussions about expectations for launch since we know the game is releasing in 2021 which was confirmed AGAIN today. Please let me know your expectations.
I am very excited to see the campaign levels in Halo Infinite. I can’t wait to explore the Zeta Halo Ring in the campaign levels. I am also looking forward to see the open world gameplay in Halo Infinite.
IDK if rotational game modes would be there considering Forge won’t be at launch. Infection was never really that great on just default maps. same with Griff Ball.

I really hope after you beat the campaign you can continue exploring the ring and further missions release.

I don’t see why not. A lot of these modes can be altered with Custom Games and some developer intervention.

Maybe if they made a map like they didn’t in Halo 4 specifically designed for Griff Ball. IDK if that would still work with Infection, but hey who knows.

It would be amazing if they brought back a reimagining of Foundation for Infection. That would get in my feels.

Forge Worlds would do it for me. Infection on good ole forge world in updated Infinite. That’d get me crying out in joy.

It’ll be interesting how they do the canvases for Halo Infinite.

I hope not just blank canvases. It really sucked that those maps didn’t really have any depth to them. I’m not complaining about blank slates, but almost all the forge canvases but Alpine we’re flat.
I expect game modes and features to be missing I also expect bugs and disconnections. Clearly this game isnt ready and these devs are crunching like no tomorrow.
This is what happens when you have poor management, my job is very similar. We have a set time to get an apartment or house ready and a given budget to do so. If leadership is poor then time and money will be wasted.
Halo 5-2015
Halo Infinite- 2020/2021
343i is not an indie studio and its unacceptable that features will be missing.
For those who want to use Covid as an excuse. Covid was 2020 it was not 2019, 2018, 2017. 2020 should have been the year of polish and beta. Think Mark THINK!!

“Clearly this game isn’t ready”? This isn’t a thread to banter about how you feel about them being ready or not. Go be pessimistic on the thousand other threads like that.

I really hope they are dynamic in the scenery and actual altering of terrain.

Its not a banter this thread is about Launch expectations and I expect this launch to be poor.
