Okay, so it seems that one of the common views of Halo Infinite is that it’s going to be open world, and I’d like to squash early views that some hold as truth.
I can’t confidently say that Halo Infinite won’t be open world, but there are multiple reasons why it isn’t and why the trailer doesn’t give any actual clues towards it. For one it’s an engine demo, meaning not everything is final. In addition, I don’t see how anything shown even points towards open world. “There are animals”. Yeah, there’s animals. “It’s a big open world”. It’s a halo. “Chief is riding a warthog around”. Um yeah ok. In addition, I don’t think 343 can afford to make such a huge risk. And many more reasons.
Now I know that some people here (a lot probably) know that it’s unlikely to be an open world game, but to those who don’t, I’m going to say this: just because Halo Follower shoots you another speculation or thought doesn’t mean it’s true.
There might be implementation of somebody open world stuff, but no news and nothing shown so far shows full open world type stuff.

If anything its the opposite, Halo Follower tends to be more wrong than right.

That is true… everything is speculation at this point. However, that doesn’t negate the notion of it being open world either.
As of now we don’t got any real teasers or trailers for Halo Infinite, all we got at last years E3 was a demonstration of the new engine.

Did u quote everything tactical typed in? But there is the point were it’s just speculation. The community doesn’t know yet. Until Halo Infinite is released, we just have to wait.
How is this squashing early views that some hold as truth? I mean it’s just as likely that you’re right as anyone else at this point because, as you stated, we have little to no information one way or the other. I certainly hope we will have more exploration and bigger areas to roam around in, but for all I know, this is gonna be an MMO RPG or an on-rails cabinet shooter. My point is, there’s nothing definitive so no one is capable of coming out and squashing anyone’s views.
My guess is it’s just going to have more open levels than we’ve seen so far. I wouldn’t mind if it was legit open world but I think a lot of people just assuming it is are going to be disappointed, if they want that of course.
To be fair, I think you couldve made a similar trailer in CE and suggest it was open world. So no, I don’t believe it’s an open world game until it’s announced to be one. And even then, that doesn’t automatically mean Destiny/RPG elements/Third person/loot shooter. They could also copy the core concept of ODST and its hub world expand it with modern tech and just give us a slightly less linear story. Hell, that would even allow for things like Spartan Ops to be implemented in a more fitting way in the months after release.
halo infinite has a chance at being open word as a major halo player and halo fan i cannot see this but you can not argue with the evidence 343 has announced that it took some inspiration from the newest games one of these being fallout 76 which is a open world game if they meant about the open world this i do not know. but it would be interesting to see and how it works non the less.
The trailer definitely doesn’t mean that the game will be an open wold one- certainly not one in the way that a lot of gamers conceive of as “open world” (Fallout/Skyrim/GTA type open world’s with the impractically large scope of the world being half the point of the game). Thanks for pointing this out, I think it’s pretty important that players don’t assume that the game will or won’t be anything based on one pretty vague teaser that has been confirmed not to be exactly representative of the actual game’s contents by 343i (don’t have a citation for this but I believe it was in a behind the scenes live stream they did where they said it was more of a demo of the Slipspace engine and vaguely what art style they’re aiming for).
I think there are a lot of people who assume an open world is the silver bullet to fix the conceived franchise fatigue that Halo has experienced over the past handful of games. I don’t disagree necessarily, because if it is done properly it could of course have that effect. I think that doing that is taking a longer shot than 343i needs to in order to revitalize interest and hype for Halo, though. They don’t have any experience making that kind of game, and the franchise doesn’t have a precedent for them to adhere to in the mode of a truly open world game.
What the series does have a precedent for, as seen in segments of Halo CE and more prominently in ODST, is Semi-Open world gameplay that affords players more freedom and looser constraints than in the more linear segments, and a degree of exploratory potential. Nowhere near the degree of potential as is seen in a true open world game. I’d rather see 343 try to improve upon that formula than to attempt to make a game in a style they’ve never even attempted, personally.
But I’ll try the game either way!

I’m talking about the people group who’ve fallen into the traps of halo follower before and still do. What I was saying was that yes, halo follower is mostly wrong, but he’s a popular outlet that casual fans constantly fall for. So I’m not saying here that he is correct.
Im not saying halo infinite won‘t be an open world game, but there is a group of people who believe this, and it stems from something halo follower said (idk if he said it first or not but he’s a large outlet) about the game being open world. So this post is to the people who are talking about the game as though it is. It’s just as likely for the game to go any other direction as it is be open world.

I think Halo Infinite will be more open world than not. However it’s not from something Halo Follower said. I don’t even know who that is. You really shouldn’t be stating that as fact. The fact is, many players will have their opinions from the engine demo and people they follow, my open world ish opinion is my own. It makes sense imo. I do believe many opinions have come from the engine demo, but there’s not really much to go on at this point. You simply cannot say it stems from something Halo Follower said, he or she will probably be drawing their conclusions from the same precious little news we’ve all seen.
I don’t know how I would feel about an open world halo. Im not opposed to it but I dont want the whole meta of halo to be off
