Man, that Season 2 reveal teaser was something incredible

No sarcasm, that teaser, the aesthetics of the new season, the armor, the map. The weathering. Man, you love to see it!

I like the Lone Wolf armor core and a lot of the ā€œtacticalā€ aesthetic it seems to be leaning into. The Fractures core hasn’t been showcased for long enough or in high enough detail for me to have much of an opinion on it yet, but I’m not expecting to love it (Tenrai established the expectation in me that Fractures cores will consistently be novel and neat, but won’t be very congruent with canon armors and therefore aren’t of much interest to me).

It looks like it’ll bring some cool new stuff to grind another battle pass for, which is something desperately needed. It’s just nice to see something substantial actually happen now that we’re 4-5 months out from launch.

My biggest issue with S2 so far is that we’re just getting two new maps. This game needs like 8+ BTB maps and 12+ Arena maps. We’re not even close…

Other than that I’m pretty pumped for a new core and the new modes!

I mean, they do know how to make a pretty sick teaser.

But so does Gaijin, and anyone who has played any of their games knows that is basically their only strength (unless you count milking money a strength)

I think it looks great. The armor looks unique but not outlandish. The map aesthetics look great. I’m excited for what we are getting. Hopefully the maps play great.

I’m doing my best to keep it positive and bite my tongue… but… there is a reason we are only seeing a 20 sec clip. I don’t think what we are getting will keep players engaged for the length of season 2.

The Lone Wolves core is really tacticool. I anticipate to wear it soon enough with my Mark 5 B EVA helm and HCS Raleigh coating. It’ll look even more tacticooler.

Now that I think about it, 343 is possibly promising millions of customization even if it might not be at launch.

I personally thought the armor looked pretty sick

Looks good. We’ve been waiting sooooo long.

A flashy trailer doesn’t hide the problems with the game currently.

It’s nice to get some reassurance. Love the new armour core and how the theme is hunting the Banished. Did not think it would be canon for the Spartans to be taking skulls. :smile:

I know I’ve been saying we need to purge the Xenos but we’re only at Season 2…

Also just a little prediction. I think the next Seasons core might be that Spartan Droid we see in the artwork. Has UNSC insignia on so not likely to be a Fracture Core.

Where do I even begin that you can mount up like sangheili bone material on your shoulder, like… thats just so badass and gives the spartan a ā€˜tribe-y/nomadic’ feel to them.

I love how the armor core is sandish/rugged/minimalistic and slimmer than the rest of the current cores. Been a HUGE fan of stealth-kitted wears.

Lone Wolves is almost like a callback to Spartan ONI Headhunters or what they seem to be referencing here.

Like if you took Emile from Halo Reach and made a company of them… :eyes:

ā€œAnd I want my scalps.ā€

Yeah, they do seem to take alittle inspiration from the outlandish Emile we know. Also where can i find this Druid concept?

It’s in the art of Halo Infinite on Page 36.

If only playing the game itself was as good as how the teasers look.

Season 2 has got me hyped, but I’m still keeping cautious about it though, Season 1 was pretty disappointing, hopefully Season 2 does better

Don’t get too excited for season 2 people, the trailer may look good but what is given to us is lacking:

1 new season pass
1 BTB map
1 4V4 map
And like 2-3 gamemodes which we don’t even know if they’ll be permanent.

As the start, yes, but we don’t know what they have in store during the season.
Elimination is coming in an event and Shotty Snipers has been leaked as an event mode as well.

So in total
Land grab
KOTH
Last spartan standing
elimination
attrition
shotty snipers

That’s 6 modes being added, which isn’t bad at all.

So we know 1 of those gamemodes is temporary. Do u know if the others are permanent or are the rest going to be temporary since they’re trying to maintain a good population within other playlists.
