I have played every halo game to date and enjoyed every single one of them. They are all unique and interesting in their own way. I could talk for hours about the number of times I’ve had my 30 seconds of fun. That being said all of those game still exist and they are still very much fun. I have played them all to death. Which is why I tell you, please dont just copy an older halo game. Let infinite stand on it own, add to the formula the same way every halo has. By far the biggest reason I have stayed with Halo for so long is because every new halo was unique. Everyone of them had their own style and their own learning curve. We have yet to have a single halo that was just a copy of an older one, so please dont let infinite be the first. If you want to copy older Halos than make Infinite a combination of all Halo games not just one.
P.S. I’m talking about Gameplay.
That’s exactly what 343i said they are doing in their most recent post on the homepage
In what way you mean Infinite would copy older Halo games? More than usually such assumptions have been pulled out of Chiefs armor resembling more of that what it was in trilogy rather than that in the H4 forwards & that has lead to assumption that Infinite will be an copy of Halo 3 or something like that, which to me, seems like very absurd assumption.
But what aspects of the game exactly do you mean in this case? I assume one of them is gameplay formula given you mentioned learning curve & it’s one of those common topics in people asking for something not to be done.
But there could also be something different given you mentioned the “style” too which I assume you mean artstyle, perhaps? It’s yet another common one.
As to what kind of copy do you mean in the form of gameplay? You mentioned this “one Halo game” but never specified while also notifying that every Halo game has had its own mechanics. Which is rather vague but given popular topics I assume it’s yet again about the possibility of removal of sprint or other such abilities.
But the thing is about those that there is not a singular evolutionary waty to progress gameplay & neither a reason to keep every gameplay aspect from the past games, even if it’s something as noticeable as abilities.
But sprint discussion particularly is for another topic for it is its own discussion alltogether.
And every Halo game has had its own artstyle for sure, but neither there is just a single way to go towards a different form instead of having recogniceable universe without straying too far from the source material where even known aliens look like entirely different species. Like elites looking like brutes or grunts looking like turtles for those unfamiliar to the series.
But I keep examples short for those are age old topics in yet another “please” topic that in time will be buried amongst countless others as insignificant part of the big picture of consumer side of the gaming industry.
It should copy the bungies halos, because they have not had a great track record of making a good halo game on their own. I thought Halo 4s campaign was not terrible and matchmaking was okay, but thats not living up to expectations. Halo 5 was a train wreck. I hope they copy more of Halo 3 and Reach.

I actually like the way Chief looks.
Based on what I have seen the art style is fine.
I don’t care if they remove sprint. I care if its a straight up clone(gameplay wise) of Halo 2 or any other Halo for that matter.
They already said they were going to do a lot of new stuff and take the franchise in a bold new direction. There will be significant notable changes. Chief is going to out grow himself this time around in order to snap 'Tana out of her funk. I’m talking triple wielding baby.
I loved chief’s armor

And what exactly led to the assumption that Infinite would be exact clone of older game? Could you link something that could lead to such presumptions before any sort of gameplay reveal?
I’m sure they won’t. Hopefully, they take the best from all of them, and then add some more. But I have faith they’ll get it right.

Exactly what is the point of this line of questioning? You and I both know Halo Infinite Has yet to revial anything of Gameplay yet. At no point in this Op did i suggest that I had any idea of what Halo Infinite will be like. The Point of this thread is to express what I believe they shouldn’t do. Threads like this are nothing new.
Now if you would like to actually contribute to the thread and express your opinions on the matter than fill free. Unlike you I wont try to demean your opinions by saying their an, “insignificant part of the big picture of consumer side of the gaming industry.”

The point pretty much is to create thought on the subject matter, and you definitely did not suggest that you knew of the Infinite gameplay nor did I imply that you would, I was simply curious whether there were some information leaked on the subject given the form of the topic where it leaves of image nearly begging for not to do something absurd as exact copy so it just made me curious whether there is any form of base for the topic at hand.
And this form of topic is definitely not anything new, why I made a line of questions in this case is because there have been Infinite reveals around so I seeked the base of the topic, as mentioned but just clarifying.
And when making a topic, obviously there will be differing views and different form of posts, is there really point to topics if everyone just posts that they agree of something? That would just leave everyone where they are with no room for self improvement in an environment with no thoughts started by differing views.
And whether something is demeaning is up to ones perspective for I dont think it’s really demeaning to view a topic of what we both agreed is nothing new when compared to the whole community of varying people and the consumer side of the business. Perhaps a poor choice of word but when you speak more than one language, the foreign one can be lacking in the word pool.
And I do see even my topics/posts insignificant in that matter and in that concept with same comparisons but everything, including this topic & others, is part of the community activity that is perhaps insignificant in the bigger picture but has it’s own perks in individual & smaller scale.
As to the topic itself, I dont really get as to why Infinite would be exact copy of any game but instead will likely have it’s own style, as before in the series. But that is simply stating the obvious.

Apologies. It seems I mistook the intention behind your reply.
The Reasoning I had with making this is mostly because of the number I People I’ve seen Saying they Want it to Just Play just like One of the Older Halos.
I think you answered your own question really… You pointed out how every Halo game has been unique…so why wouldn’t Infinite? I am sure Halo infinite is going to bring changes just like every Halo game has…we will just have to wait and see what they are.

No need, I see this as an opportunity for self-improvement in linguistic matter. I try to seek more fitting words in the future. I could seem rude in topics usually for my native language is rather different for example lacking word “please” entirely, at least in many concepts it’s used in english.
And the reasoning seems fair. I have seen such assumptions before though the same is for many other topics considering gameplay sharing a different though similar view, the topics that are for having more similar aspects as the previous installments. By which I mean the recent ones.
But it’s definitely interesting to speculate such important aspect of the game as to what the gameplay happens to be.
And as to why I would speculate as I do now about how the gameplay could turn to be is mostly about the gaming industrys money seeking ends, unsurprisingly, for it’s a business like any other. The common gameplay mechanics change usually change with the current selling trends given gaming industry has become more of a mainstream media than what it was before, at least it’s the partial reason which sadly leaves behind some gameplay styles but it’s the nature of business.
So hopefully Infinite will have something different instead of following the current, or older, gameplay trends. Surely everything wont change within one installments but one installment can still be a turning point.
So the question is, what sells? That depends on the game itself, as in does this aspect work with the other. That creates variety in games that is good to see. But in the case of Halo, it is in a point of lost identity & split community so it has to change from what it has been.
Nevertheless, interesting to see where this is going.
They seem to be trying to copy various things to get the feel of halo back. Like the music and tone of cheif, “we need to fight”. However i do hope its a diferent game with new, unique features that stand out and make it its own special game to add to the franchise.

That’s, certainly, the goal of everyone involved.
Im wondering what the “new thing” will be. We still dont know what kind of game it will be or play as. We still dont know if we can pick what planet we can go to. We just know it looks and sounds like old halo games. 343 might copy old halo 2, or they could go another direction. So far we have seen that they go their own way. Such as ground pound and ordinance drops.
We could just get a halo 3 clone
There’s nothing wrong with taking idea’s from new/old games…it’s a matter of finding the right balance to make a good Halo game. Some things need to be added/removed and sometimes it’s best to go back to the roots to make a game feel like a Halo game. Never liked when people dismissed features like ‘fixed’ camera’s just because it was in older games.
It’s all about experimenting to see what worked. Sure Halo games are generally different but there has to be some kind of consistency…which is why Halo 1-3 were quite different and yet still felt like a Halo game because there were elements that were consistent while Reach changed and things kind of got worse but at the same time it had positives like forge. While Halo 4 also got worse…it had some positives like Dominion and 5 gave us Warzone…though I don’t think it was well executed due to loot box’s interfering with p2w elements and shame we never got BTB with AI.
As for art style…yeh it needed to go back because the design changes in 4,5 made no sense in more than one way…it was like an alternate universe to the Halo universe and for consistency sake it needed to change. So for me the only way it could be explained is if something was messing with ‘time/space’ aka the time travel crystal (possible since there are time crystals, is said to mess with time and space), which is why Infinite seems to have resorted to the normal reality.
