With infinite being an open world game, does this mean master chief can now go in the water. It wouldn’t make much sense to use water as a kill barrier in open world. Maybe 343 can use under water locations for exploring, maybe finding caves and alternate entrances for some locations. The master chief wouldn’t necessarily have to swim, but could simply walk along the water floor. What do you guys think?
“For a brick, he swims pretty good!”
What you’re suggesting reminds me of the glitch in Halo 2 where you can explore the lake on Delta Halo. That was a few fun hours of entertainment for me.

I would like to at least be able to go underwater without insta kill
Yeah, I think we’ve had enough of water insta-kill. An open world where water prevents you from exploration or as an barrier is a bit counter-productive.

THERE SHOULD BE BOATS!
I’m imagining a boat that functions a lot like a warthog in the water. Regular boat, boat with minigun, boat with rocket turret, boat with guass cannon, and a boat with passenger seats. Also, an APC would be a cool new addition to the UNSC vehicle collection. APCs are amphibious, so they could act as a boat but also as a troop warthog with more armor. I’m imagining an 8-holder, one pilot, one gunner, and 6 passengers. The passengers can’t shoot out, so you can’t just give six marines rocket launchers and have an unstoppable death-hog, but they also have some protection. There is a turret on top, like the machine gun on the scorpion. It’s speed would be in-between the warthog and the scorpion
Time for them to finally bring back that water vehicle that Bungie cut years ago, I reckon!
I can’t imagine Master Chief “floating” though.
Maybe there’s an “Upgrade” where your suit has buoys or something.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind being able to SINK and go UNDERWATER.
Maybe the restriction is there’s an air-meter-limit or something.
- I agree I don’t want water to be a kill barrier.
- Hoping we can go underwater.

Aaaahhhhh yyyeeeaaahhh! Imagine 4 player coop on a boat. The shenanigans would be endless.

I dont think he would really float. Either walk along the bottom or perhaps have perpulsion like a jetpack, just for underwater. I agree with making it an upgrade, as well as having a air meter.
Why would he have an air meter if he does not have one for space?
If anything, underwater walking in some areas.
Water kills are a useful tool to limit the gameplay area in an environment.
Vehicles are great, so water vehicles to cross some areas could be cool.
It could be cooler if we had massive warships to enjoy some good ol flat ship battles in the ocean.
I’d much rather have the water be a kill barrier than an invisible wall or a random countdown time. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t say the prospect of exploring underwater areas didn’t intrigue me. It could be great if they pull it off but it could very well feel very silly if they dont make the mechanics right.
Something tells me though there wont be any underwater areas at all, and at most all we see is waterfalls and very thin bodies of water we can walk+drive across. Only time will tell.
There should be a equipment pickup of a life jacket… so you can just float their aimlessly. Or maybe a fluorescent swimming tube. Or he could ride a blow up pink flamingo.
This is the kind of thing that would give us a ‘different’ and refreshing experience.
Example:
Outbreak of flood and Chief drops to the bottom of a lake bed to escape from them. Then moves onwards across the lake floor passing fish and the like to reach the other side of the map. Whilst crossing the lakebed a massive sentinel exits out of a recess and shoots up through the lake to go and help combat the floodforms growing en mass.
Or there could be another scenario where Masterchief drops from orbit into the Ocean after destroying/sabotaging a Banished Space station/ship and then has to trek the Ocean bed to get to dry land.

Yeah. This is likely because most developers copy other games instead of trying to think outside the box.
I hope it doesn’t kill you. But the dude is half a ton in armor. Having him swim would be dumb. Maybe there’ll be boats

Wtf is wrong with the mods on this forum? How is this spam? That said. Yeah, give us boats.
