Did they name it Halo Infinite because the map will be procedurally generated like in No Man’s Sky?
Does it have anything to do with the size of the game?
I have infinite questions about this game.
I think it was supposd to be reflective of the “soft reboot” approach they are taking. Moving away from being a numbered successor to Halo 5, and instead trying to start anew in some sense (although I’m sure the Created and their storyline will be acknowledged in some capacity).
Some people have also speculated that because of Microsoft’s proposed 10 year plan for Halo Infinite to act as a “platform” for Halo going forward, the name could allude to being a live service game, or something similar.

Live service game.
They want to go the destiny route.

Yeah, I hope they don’t. Not really a fan of that content model of releasing several expansions over many years. Might as well just release a new game.

Plus Destiny story telling is very short lived and boring.

Well, they have said that they will be adding to it over time, and i read that 343 says the campaign will be as long as 4 and 5’s combined. So, both!

Agree with all points.

Both campaigns were extremely short and this game is supposed to last 10 years.
So that is not saying much…
Because they can charge you infinitely with some garbage battle pass that they are probably brewing up behind the scenes

Undoubtedly lol.

The 10 year idea is built around them adding on to it over time.
Probably because Halo 6 is not a very inviting name for newer players since they haven’t played 1-5.
Infinite is more of a normal name and has the quote of “soft reboot” on it.
Also unlike the numbered games where they release a new game every 4 ish years, they want a 10 year plan for Halo infinite where I assume they will turn the multiplayer a service like league of legends, destiny, FN etc and give us frequent updates to map, graphics and maybe even new story DLC every 4 years to buy like StarCraft.
If they can pull it off and have a solid game with no cheats and dirty micro-transactions, the game should last a good while.

“Three community strikes upon his back!” lol
It would be nice to see that Halo Infinite could last as long as Everquest (19 years with 25 expansions) and Everquest II (14 years with 15 expansions). But I doubt it’d happen, lol. Only a truly fan can dream! On a serious note, I’m very curious to see how it works for Halo Infinite, though. Hopefully 343i will reveal to us what they’re planning to do in the future.
You can give 343I/Microsoft an “Infinite” amount of money with the way this game is designed 
Because it’s a live service game that will be continually updated for the next 10 years at least.

Because all the halo rings are infinite, you are welcome
Just joking, may be because we will be trapped in a loop in zeta halo which will make us being infinite time there. That´s why it would be an open world.
Because 343 want to keep this installment of Halo going on for a infinite amount of time. As long as possible hence 10 year platform (aka live service).

Still, adding them both together should result in the longest campaign yet!
