343 Industries,
I want to thank you all for the incredible hard work that you all have been doing to make this game a spiritual reboot of the Halo series, and I must say that I am excited to play Infinite after watching the game-play in today’s Xbox event.
As an original and loyal Halo player of ALL Halo titles on all platforms I would have to say you all have met the perfect balance with making the game feel like an original (Bungie made) Halo title while making you own logical spin on the game. I am impressed with how much it feels and looks like a Halo title we all know and love and yet has something new for us to explore.
There is a ton of hate going around because of this campaign reveal and I feel like it is misguided, confused, and biased. I seems like most of it is because these people have been personally hurt from Halo 4 and 5 and cannot let go of the past. I feel once they see the actual game in its finished state most of them will change their minds and come to love this game you guys have worked so hard for.
Also I would like to make a point on the Brute’s face markings. The white war paint on his face kind of makes his face look like low resolution textures. I had to watch the campaign video multiple times to realize that it was not skin texture and that it was in fact war face paint. I didn’t want to tell you how to do it, but I just wanted to point out the fact that the face paint looks like low resolution skin textures.
Remember to not ignore the hate, but don’t take it to heart and don’t take it personal. These people have just been hurt and they need some healing and reassurance.
Keep on trucking and knock us out of the ball park on this one 343! We’re ready!

Have they ever knocked it out of the ball park? Infinite looks terrible.
Why are you such a corporate apologist?
Most of what’s going around is valid criticism. Not hate. While some employees at 343 seem to engage with the community, based on what we’ve seen so far, it’s clear there is a massive divide between the two.
Hitmarkers have to disappear,the game seems to be too easy,stupid yelling enemies and dumb AI will ruin the gameplay.And it seems you retconed the previous game story,AGAIN

again, don’t be stuck on the past. They are calling this a reboot for a reason. If they are trying their hardest to do the right thing then be hopeful.

saying something is bad/trash and not giving an explanation why you think so and not saying what you think would make it better or work for you is not valid criticism. I don’t about you but most of the negative feedback i have seen is from people that have no intention of explaining what would make it work for them. They just say “Ihate it” and then leave.

Fire them all. Close the studio.
I can’t wait to get Infinite. It looks like a lot of fun and I’m so ready for a new Halo. Are there things I might change if the game was specifically tailored to me? Sure, but that’s true for everyone and it’s impossible to make everyone happy.

Right. There is quite a few things that i didn’t like in the Xbox event that I had seen from Infinite, but I’m still excited to play the game. Besides all the issues these people are talking about being game breaking to them are mostly easy fixes. 1 Month fixes tops.

That will be the spirit at MS if Infinite fails, especially if the budget is anywhere near the rumored $500M amount. MS could develop several new franchises with that kind of money. Masterchief and Halo deserved a legendary send off, but I’m getting a Mass Effect: Andromeda vibe from the what I saw in the demo today.

GASP some people actually enjoy 343i’s halo. You need to remember, bungie’s games lasted from 2001 - 2007 (or 2010 with reach). 343i has been making them from 2012 to 2020. Guess what? The people who loved bungie aren’t the only fans of halo now. Some people actually grew up on 343i’s halo, not bungie.
Completely agree with OP. The hard work for keeping the Halo series going is much appreciated. You all do great work, and deserve huge props.
Halo is my favorite series by far and away.

It is fun how 343 is actually censoring the “hate” comments, lol. That just shows how they won’t care about the community’s issues and personal desires.

The story takes place several hours into the campaign. How can you even gather this in 8 minutes lol. Serious question.

That might be because of the numerous divides in the Halo community on “what makes Halo Halo”. I’m pretty pleased with what I saw and I’d like to think I’m part of the community.

Calling a game and its elements trash and garbage and insulting 343i and it’s developers,
caling them incompetent and other stuff, based on an 8-minute demo is not valid criticism, period. Multiple threads having stuff like that in their title popped up since the gameplay got released a few hours ago.
Please, don’t even try to justify this.
Most of what’s going around isn’t criticism, at least in this forum, it’s hate-fueled non-constructive ranting and venting.

It’s definitely both ranting and criticism. For me, my criticism is that Infinite is hyped-up to be a multi-million dollar next-gen title from a company that’s spent almost half a decade developing it. Yet, after viewing the demo several times, I’ve concluded that I’m wholly disappointed. There’s little to no texture, no depth, no raytracing, and the cheesy cartoonish graphics just make it seem like Mega Blocks/Legos.
