So many other questions were missed, such as:
-
How will coop work? How far can you split from each other? Will you respawn where your team is at no matter the distance? - How will the checkpoint system work? With no linear path, can you manually set your own save point now? - How often do you run into allies? Will they follow you everywhere you go or also scripted to act or stay in a certain way? - Will the prometheans make a return?A new question they led me with was:
-
Can you dodge a difficult situation by completely avoifing the script? Like a jackal sniper on phone doesnt spawn in because you entered with a tank? Making situations easier on higher difficulties?I feel like asking for duel wielding and playable elites was a waste of question space. I hope questions like these get answered eventually or revealed because game launch.
Hmmm… waist of space?
Do you know how long we waited to get that answer? Sure it seems like they stated the obvious, but in the many YEARS we’ve been asking for Elites they didn’t say a word. Not a single peep.
So rather then devalue our struggle for the sake of yours, why don’t we support eachother as a community and ask all the questions we want until they’re answered completely? You have some valid queries, so let’s start talking about them. I didn’t join the community just to bark at 343, I want to discuss and enjoy time with like minded individuals like yourself.

Definitely dial back the criticisms of questions comments. 343 picked ones they saw and felt were relevant. The fact that they answered them clearly shows 343 felt this was the time to answer them - even if some answers weren’t going to be to all the community’s liking.
I think we’ll get more info on some of those questions in due course - remember this was about Zeta Halo rather than campaign specifically.
The big thing I took away from it was that they’re designing an experience which will be like no other we’ve ever had. Huge parts of the campaign will not be linear missions - but we will still likely have some (remember the gameplay reveal was set several hours into the game). I reckon the intra-mission checkpoints are here to stay. They’ll likely still have some good inter-mission ones for the more free-roam sections.

Well think about it. The playable elites are practically just a reskin. The only they have is some roleplay lore the community likes to do. I personally think that’s still possible without playing as an elite. But they did say they arent doing elites at launch. Do chances are they can come later.

I agree, some questions I asked in a past thread that they answered, like types of biome variety and they confirmed it. But I felt some were just for the sake of the community’s service any not diving into deep questions.
A lot of fans reacted calmly about the no elites and duel wielding, like if it was a stretch to be included (and it was). So why still ask if you in thr back of your head know it wont happen… ?

Halo’s checkpoints have never really been entirely linear anyway. That said, it’ll likely just look for times when you’re out of combat or entered a new area to autosave.

At that point though, wouldn’t armour customization just be a a reskin of default armour? I think the concept of customization in general is gimmicky to begin with seeing as it servers no practically application in combat. Actually, some armour peices are probably putting players at a disadvantage with their size and shape in some cases.

Technically. Spartans have a whole variety of armor customization. As far as I see, the elites never had that. In Halo reach, you could only change the color and what rank your elite is. They never really had in-depth.
You are right about those questions you have asked, really the idea that if there are playable elites was something very silly that only made the community explode with that haha they should echo more open questions to such simple ones

All of these questions seem more geared towards Campaign related questions. The previous Inside Infinite was geared more towards Zeta Halo…the questions they picked were justified and geared towards Zeta Halo.
I am sad there isnt any ‘live’ weather…
