Great not just the created but now the creators are another warring faction in the lore.

The Banished would make a way better antagonist than Cortana. It's the perfect setting to bring Halo back to its military roots. Hopefully Cortana is a side story and the Banished are the main focus, but I have a feeling its gonna be the opposite.

Best bit from that Banished audio clip so far? What at first looked like screen cracks actually appear to be Flood tentacles, they move independently.

Bunch of new Mega Construx sets just got revealed. Some clearly have to do with the game. Others do not.
By far the most interesting thing is something I saw pointed out on Reddit. This may be a significant spoiler (if it isn't just a red herring), so I'll tag it.

This Brute guy, apparently named "Hyperius" has what looks to be Locke's helmet mounted on his shoulder.

Man I really hope that's not the grunt design. Complete lack of identifying the headshot on a grunt, that would be shit in game. The cannon fodder of rapid dispose of them quickly but receive great satisfaction would be such a pain in the arse if that quick head poking up was moved below the methane tank on it's back. Please no, that's a real sign of shit gameplay design there. I hope it's just a shitty toy cast and not representative of the in game models.

That may just be a type of Grunt in the game rather than the only one. We've already seen other designs via toys, most notably this one:

Can't wait, I'm going with the PS5 first this time as these will all be on PC anyway (I'm gonna wait on a good XSX bundle) so interested to see a PC vs Console comparison eventually
That being said, I need to go play Halo Wars 2 it seems now

The jetpack one was originally in Halo CE and later removed before release, you could access it via a cheat menu, this skull is simply adding it back in

As always I'm a couple days late. Here is the latest community update. Spoiler alert - they say next to nothing about Halo Infinite. July 23rd is coming though lol.

Halo Community Update - Campaign Countdown
It's Community Update time, which means we're diving into the latest and greatest Halo news from around the franchise – from past to present. We'll be discussing Halo 3's upcoming launch on PC as part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Halo 5: Guardian's future offerings, and what you can...

343 continues to have shitty quality assurance. Go to play a couple of objective matches in MCC Halo 2/Ann only and two games start both get booted for easy anti-cheat, no specific reasons give and no direct support either. Reboots did nothing and nothing of note changed on my end either. I assume so windows update or MCC update has broken the anti-cheat/game for me. Well done again 343, more bugs that literally stop a decades legit player from playing your game. Same gamertag for 10+ years, never had any cheating on Xbox or PC.
Honestly all I want out of Infinite is a stable fucking game first, 343 are yet to deliver that to this Aussie gamer.

Has anyone on here played the games on LASO? I'm getting the itch to play the games again and the only thing I haven't done is LASO. I'm watching through some youtube videos and it kinda looks more frustrating than fun, interested to hear the opinion of someone that has done it.

I did Halo 3 back on 360 and it was miserable (This was before youtube guides). I would never suggest doing it solo.

Yea that's what I got from the youtube vids I saw, maybe I'll just play legendary instead of LASO.

The only reason I’d consider LASO is to get the rest of the MCC achievements. I might do it one day
Legendary ranges from relatively easy (Reach) all the way up to God awful nightmare (Halo 2).
It’s definitely worth it upon completion.

Have you guys seen some or the artwork from the July 16 Community Spotlight? It's always good but this one was even better in my personal opinion.

343i should just come out and say Halo 5 is not canon.

Eh aside from the campaign I really enjoyed Halo 5 matchmaking. It suffered in the map department though. Some were good but the majority were just so-so. 343 should never slack on BTB again. That was was a colossal mistake with Halo 5.

At the dinner table last night, turn to my son and casually say "you know the new Halo Infinite is revealed this Friday right?" (Aussie time). The two of us just smiled and laughed while my wife and daughter shook their heads in unison. I'd say yes to initialise.

Man the number of times that happened in that exact spot in BTB. Side note our record for winning multiflag on Rat's Nest in BTB is 1:12, all 3 flags. We got it down to a science and tried everything to get it faster, we even almost decided to stop trying at 1:17 for obvious reasons.

Hoping the grappling hook is equipment like Halo 3 rather than a standard that you have at all times while in multiplayer. (Assuming that's what's on his wrist)
Also, I feel like the visor is way too copper in tone than gold. Went ahead and adjusted the image for something more like what I'd like to see. I feel that the visor pops a lot more like this:

Well that was... okay. I don't think we really saw enough to make any conclusions. The campaign they showed was a little slow (dare i say boring?) and obviously on an easy setting. 343 gave a glimpse of things like the grappling hook and how it can be used. We saw that clamber is back. The theory that the game will focus on the Banished proved true. I'll be interested in what all the game sleuths can come up with from re-watching the clip.

Need a 4K download of Halo to get a real feel for it. Stream was shit.
So far not super impressed, really nothing on story, no PvE, no multiplayer but it felt like a showcase of weapons and a vista. It also felt pretty cartoony?
