New AI just stole the show

I just watched the campaign overview. Holy -Yoinking!- -Yoink- am i hyped even more!!! Even seeing the same shots we’ve already seen but with better graphics.

But omg i am already in love with the new AI! She’s literally like a innocent snarky 8 year old personality wise and omfg I -Yoinking!- love it! :heart:

I loved the line at the end! I hope she’s available as an AI in multiplayer

Definitely will be fun interacting with her and the pilot.

The dialogue seems entertaining as it was presented, but the character model and some of the facial expressions are terrible! I criticize this cause the AI should show off some curves and have sexual appeal/comedy, because the AI is a clone of Dr Halsey’s brain in which she had designed it to look good as she wished she looked that way. I imagine most people with an AI modeled after them would make alterations to look far more attractive than they really are.

Welcome to a “next gen” game that is clearly being held back by an 8 year old console lol. They should have canned the OG Xbox one in development and made it a pure next gen title…

… sad… long gone are the days where Halo was a “serious” FPS game with a good story and was Rated M for mature… Now we have people excited about an AI that acts like a little girl…

Lmao she’s super adorable. I may like her more than the OG Cortana, we’ll see.

Is she also voiced by Jen or am I hearing things?

Yes because we all know that Halo has always focused on “being cute”

On one hand, I do agree with you that I do miss things having a slightly more serious presentation and I miss the M rating and all that alien blood splatter as well.

On the other, I think it will be fun having this AI not be a complete copy of the OG Cortana. I prefer more serious as well, but having a kind of ‘noob’ Cortana who is still learning things and ‘growing’ into a more competent form might be fun if handled well.

She is voiced by Jen Taylor, but made to sound younger.

True, I agree, as long as things are handled properly it’ll be just fine

Hey guys disregard this guy in all the threads he’s either a troll or a professional -Yoink-.

Anyone who says halo was ever serious is either trying to cause an argument or is blinded by nostalgia.
Cortana did drop him on his head in 2001 so that might be another explanation :laughing:

Its was only ever considered mature in the US the rest of the world have always seen it as a game for kids/YA and the weapon is great an Intentional innocent Cortana model and you are totally entitled to love her or even hate her. Just don’t feed the trolls or pretend halo games are adult military affairs. They are a fun space opera for all to enjoy!

I disagree with the facial expressions. In my opinion they fit perfectly.

This is cringe man, just say you wanna -yoink- off to the AI renders and move along.

I agree that she’s very likable and is a good substitute for Cortana, basically being a newer model with hints of nostalgia. No problem with her character model. All in all, very excited to dig into this.

It’s cringe asking for the AI to look -Yoink!-…

I’m on the fence. I really don’t like the line where she said, maybe it’s friendly. That’s just beyond naive and stupid. Makes me wonder how many brutes you’ve killed before that happens for her to think, Oo, maybe this one’ll be friendly.

I severely question your priorities. Sorry this new AI doesn’t get you all heated up in the way you want I guess?

That escalated quickly. Would you like some ketchup for that chip on your shoulder?

Would the game be more polished and be running better having been restricted to next gen and high end PCs?
Maybe.
But I’ll take the Halo Infinite that I’ve seen and experienced so far, if it means I’ll be playing with a larger population.

Restricting the game to the Series consoles would increase sales to a degree, but most people would opt to sit it out until they can get a new console.
Ergo, Infinite would make MS less money, meaning they would spend less money on maintaining the game, e.g. smaller expansions, and less often, etc.

So even though I’ll be playing on my Series X, ostracizing the last-gen players would have a lasting negative effect on me.
