Infinite is already so broken and meh that they’ve only been able to dedicate their time to patching it.

Yet you patrol the forums like the rest of us. With the same hope as the rest of us. Maybe just a little more hopeful than the rest of us. But it is starting to wane.
Well, I do know this. If tatanka was going to be there, there’s no way someone doesn’t leak it.
Like it’s supposed to be a huge gamemode and nobody decides to let something slip? 343’s terrible at stopping leaks. Like they failed to stop someone leaking the Multiplayer early release date.
And by leak you mean, given to one of the known content creators they have in the forerunner program.
Ok sure so maybe the BR isn’t cooked enough to show us yet. But what about forge? Or campaign co-op. Or one of those rumours of classic maps returning Staten himself kinda admitted to.
I mean, bear with me but here’s an image for ya.
At some point during this showcase, imagine if Staten went on stage and shows us a remake of any given halo map of old, and then says something like, it’s currently live in the game.
Just something like that would make a world of difference and help lift these dark clouds.

You guys do realize Xbox is having a second show in two days? Halo could be there…
Hopefully they do show up.
But that said, it means whatever they do have to show wasn’t good enough to be included in the main show, which was todays.

Of course. I’m not saying they shouldn’t show anything. It’s just unlikely.
They could very well show something. I just don’t want to give anyone false hope. The silence is very telling.

The second show will most likely just dive in more into the games which were shown today. Nothing more.

I learned my lesson back in with Anthem, don’t over invest hype, money, and expectations into any game, I’m already expecting Starfeild to be heavily monetized

Honestly, not being at the main showcase is a big L for Halo 
.
A substantial reveal of Tatanka on the 14th could change this, but absence from the main show case is not a good sign for Infinite’s immediate future imo
Edit: They could have had a tease for an upcoming event, coop, forge, or S3 even. How do we see nothing? 
They have been using the same engine since Morrowind and just keep “updating it” but thats why all their games feel similar and honestly are starting to suffer in the quality department. The newer fallouts have felt super clunky and didn’t particularly have great graphics. And who knows when we will finally get another Elder Scrolls.
There was even a rumor going around tha tco-op flights might be in July. This month would have been a good time to announce it.
Its not like its why my Gf and I have waited this long for the campaign or anything…

According to this:
https://gamingintel.com/starfield-new-game-engine/#:~:text=The%20amazingly%20detailed%20trailer%20for%20Starfield%20revealed%20the,take%20their%20RPG%20games%20further%20than%20ever%20before.
Starfield uses a brand new “Creation Engine 2” for the game. Elder Scrolls 6 is also supposed to be built with it too.
Fallout 4 and others used Creation Engine 1.
Guess we will see how that plays out when Starfield ships.
I seriously don’t understand why you think Starfield looks bad. It looked great. The shooting looked fine, the movement looked good, the facial animations looked good, the customization looks great.
I actually have a harder time thinking of things that don’t look good. I can only assume you thought the game looked jank just because he was hip-firing for trailer usage. Maybe you just don’t like RPGs in space?

Not sure what you are all on about 343 were there… did you not see the flyable pelican in Flight Sim… that was Staten’s secret weapon. Brilliant!
I think what the showcase has shown most is just how strong the Microsoft ecosystem beyond Halo is looking for the next 12 months.
But… 343i and Halo weren’t the only big ones missing as studio/franchise:
- No Gears of War (Coalition)
- No Initiative
- No Fable (Playground Games)
- No Goldeneye (Rare)
As a huge Halo fan, that does sting a bit, but… in size terms 343i isn’t actually that huge and by deprioritising legacy games, closing off Halo Wars as a sub-franchise and really only paying lipservice to ongoing MCC support… what did we expect?
November and Season 2 are still a long way off and even if they reduce season lengths after that we’re at best going to have just hit Season 4 by this time next year.
I’m still enjoying the gameplay and that’s the most important thing
I noticed this too. I think Forza and Minecraft were the only “Xbox pillar” franchises we saw anything from.
I was pretty surprised to not see any Gears or anything from the Initiative.
On the bright side, I saw a couple games i think I’m going to be able to play with my kid which is cool.
