Massive Infinite News Update

Titled “Inside Infinite”

There’s a ton there, and the game is looking really good. I also noticed in one of the multilayer screenshots, a Spartan is sprinting, so I guess that’s confirmed. Thoughts?

I’m very happy with the update, especially the part about fixing up those brutes. I like the bearded design from Wars best and H2A.

I am also hoping there will be a Firefight mode. It’s my favorite game mode and I love a single player experience with strong AI. :slight_smile:

Same, very happy to hear they’ve been fixing up facial animations and adding more hair to them.

The game looks great

Cant believe we got a word from Joseph Staten himself, im so YOINK glad!! :smiley:

The game looks great and I like sprint so that’s not an issue for me.

There’s also active camo (unless I’m greatly mistaken) in one of the screenshots so I guess that’s confirmed too.

I like the look of the new power-up pad. Hopefully the weapon pads follow a similar design.

I am excited, but I am still holding out hope for Playable Elites.

I am happy and pleased with pretty much everything except armor coatings still. It was pretty well hinted at that there’s going to be exclusively paid-for options. I also feel bad for people who’ve been using the armor colors that are now tied to hitting SR152 in Halo 5 but didn’t have the patience to put up that grind. It’s official that this is the direction they are going to go and stick with, but I am going to be displeased by it the entire way until they show off how it works in a manner that may actually calm those fears.

Armor design looks really good though. I like the classic reach themed ones, and I like the new take on spartan armor. Graphically, everything looks really solid. Everything on the artsyle and tech side sounds solid. But again, I still think their choices for coatings undermine the player expression they are striving for that the armor provides, so it all kind of evens the hype out.

i feel like the coatings are just one small part of the spartan customization. people are going to create really cool spartans either way.

I am inclined to disagree that they are small if you play Infection, Free for All, or possible firefight modes. I know that people who like making cool screenshots or machinima out of the game are pretty bummed out because as pretty as the game looks and as many tools as they give, coatings severely squash that extra stuff.

I’m sensing battlepasses and extra premium content (purchasable only with special currency). Let’s hope the coatings are not single use. There is quite a lot of shenanigans they can use to moneygrab since it’s F2P.

I still think that F2P is a massive step in the wrong direction but I’d like to be proven wrong on that regard.

Let’s hope a lot of questions regarding the monetisation are answered truthfully before release. The blog had nothing about that sadly.

The images look very nice though :).

How tinfoil hat of a theory is this?

I think that active camo icon is more evidence of a BR mode. It’s been a while since I played PUBG or BF5 Firestorm, but anyone who’s spent a good chunk of time in BR’s might know what I mean.

That certainly is a tinfoil hat theory lol. Care to elaborate?
