Xbox E3 show confirmed for Sunday 13 June - 10am PT, 1PM ET, 6pm BST, 7pm CEST.

Mark your diaries and get ready. It’s going to be awesome and I have no doubt it will kick off the Infinite infostream kicking into higher gear

Nice look at some very Reach-esque Halo Infinite armour there too, similar to what we’ve seen in the updates. Anyone know what that red weapon is the spartan on the right is holding? Thought it was a pulse carbine skin at first but the casing on the topside is way too long. Colouration may also hint at some integrated promethean tech although this is a stretch. Anyone know if this has turned up in a megablocks set or something anywhere?

My assumption was definitely Pulse Carbine and just thought the orange highlight was for the overall picture colouration.

The handle could also be that new stalker rifle, but the barrel looks wrong…

Yeah I just found the concept art for it. I’d definitely put my money on it being the stalker rifle. The top casing and colouration match, as do the sort of silver metal ridges near the middle, but you’re right that it doesn’t have the backwards arrow things in the barrel, unless the lighting hides it.

Here’s the concept art for comparison: [https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/j1lpvh/stalker_concept_art/

Yeah you’re right. Could also be something else as yet unannounced but seems closer to the Stalker

I’m very happy that MS does these on Sunday, it means I can relax and watch this on my couch instead of hunched over my phone while on lunch break.

Entirely agreed. I remember back in 2015ish it was like a Thursday night UK time and Inwas trying to watch it on the bus home from work.

I like seeing the variety of Spartans. Definitely makes think it’ll have a MP focus being that all these seem to be generic aside from Emile. But even then, they showed off the Noble Defender coating in the Inside Infinite update so its likely this could just be a coating as well. Still about it.

edit: Looks like all the armor is Reach inspired aside from that in the forfront I believe. Looks like Carter’s in the middle and Jun on the right.

Like others stated above, I thought the rifle was originally the pulse carbine. Possibly a variant. But I agree it looks more like the stalker rifle. That pistol looks interesting. Either they redesigned the sidekick or there are indeed variants.

I know right :sweat_smile:

Awesome! I can’t wait to see E3 2021. I am very excited to see the next Halo Infinite gameplay footage especially the campaign levels. I am hoping that 343 Industries will announced the Halo Infinite release date at E3 2021.

I can see it now… Microsoft - everyone that watches our stream through their Xbox gaming console or through their PC And subscribes to either our gamepass or gold membership will get a free Halo infinite armor set … Wouldn’t shock me :laughing:

On topic, I’m definitely looking forward to their show and to E3 in general as I have since it started many years ago (Yes I’m older :joy:)

I’m stoked. Finally something to look forward to as we haven’t had much to look forward to, at least for me, in the last year and more.

Very exciting, I have the date officially marked.

Why not Saturday. where I am it begins at 7p.m. and I have to work the next day :confused: Maybe I’ll take the day off.

They are already blasting us with the scout, EVA(C) and comando helmets. Waiting for new helmets to see if they adjusted their design.

Oh boy, there is going to be a lot of Halo if the only other game they’re putting in their teaser is Starfield!

Yeah they announced the sidekick was made beefier a little while back to make it more ‘Halo’

Agree that the helmet variety (while harking back to Reach) implies we’ll get a good amount of MP info.

It’s going to be weird seeing Xbox team up with Bethesda on stage. Those have always been the two conferences I watch live while the rest I watch recaps. Funnily enough they are the ones that have been unioned.

Looks like there is going to be a lot of Halo, and at least a trailer for Starfield. To say I am excited would be an understatement! Glad E3s back this year.

If they have Joseph Staten be the presenter for Infinite, it’s going to be the same energy as Tony Stark saying “it’s good to be back” at the convention in Iron Man 2.

gotta admit , rather hyped for this. its kinda hard not to be when we have waited so long for a new game, add in the issues with the last reveal and im sure people just want to know the games on the right track b4 release.
i’m guessing from the pic we seen there going to show both sp and mp and give us dates for mp beta flights and sp release date. Lets go!

There are always going to be people who get the bad side of scheduling. Saturday tends to have more people working. The current timing means folks in NZ, Japan and Aus have to watch at 5-6 in the morning on a Monday. You can’t please everyone, but 7-8:30pm seems like great timing for you, to be honest.

This is about as good as it gets as far as accommodating the most people.
