In this topic, i want to discuss something that ive loved and has really only worked for me in Halo CE. And that is Atmosphere. I really do hope that Halo Infinite will have such a mysterious, and ambient atmosphere that Halo CE gave us, judging how the announcement trailer looked. To emphasize this even more, Listen to the track “Ambient Wonder” and you’ll see what i mean. i really dig this kind of stuff and many of you probably do too, especially in Halo, and its pretty much why Halo CE’s campaign is my favorite out of the series. The Wonder, and the mysteries the first Halo gave us was just great, and i hope we get to see the same atmosphere come back in Halo Infinite.
I like mystery with a bit of horror
yea they seem to be going for that like I had no idea what this was like everybody else then boom I saw chief
I agree 100 percent, the appeal of Halo’s story originally was mystery and awe

yep and based on that trailer they seem to be headed for that
Same here I love CE atmosphere. Also hope Infinite has that vibe with a mix of H2 metal.
Really not liking the nostalgia pandering they’ve done instead of continuing to progress the series. The trailer was basically indistinguishable from Halo: CE’s atmosphere. After a certain point I was like “we’ve done this before haven’t we?”

At this point though, it feels like a step in the right direction. Maybe if this was a trailer for Halo 4, I would agree with you. 343 has tried to deviate from Bungie’s style of Halo, and has only been semi-successful. I wouldn’t call it pandering when the community has been ignored since Halo 4. It seems now 343 has realized just how valuable community feedback really is. Just because the trailer is reminiscent of CE in it’s presentation doesn’t mean the series is going backwards, 343 is just trying to display how it is taking lessons from what worked originally and applying it to their new game, which should be commended. I’m sure Infinite is going to be a unique Halo.
Woltronx, I hope so too. Combat Evolved is my favourite game of the series in terms of atmosphere, because it was the most mysterious and serene. I’m sure you all remember the music that played in the loading screen of the original Xbox title which is a perfect example of the unique atmosphere this game displayed. The echoes of open space and the whistle of the wind as you trek through the beautiful landscape of a Halo ring; there’s nothing else like it. Halo 3 had a very natural, earthy atmosphere, while ODST had a very quiet, moody atmosphere. Both were equally just as beautiful in my opinion, but Combat Evolved will always differ in a very unique way.
