Lol there is straight some FarCry shit in the CampaignOk, looks like there might've been a new round of leaks, though I'm slightly less sure of the legitimacy of these than I was the previous ones, so take it with a grain of salt.

Other stuff:
Most of it is multiplayer/gameplay stuff, some of it is generic objectives in the campaign. Not much about the story.Before I click on the spoiler, what information does it contain?
Are we talking campaign spoilers or specifically matchmaking stuff?
Haha the UI in Infinite is not that great. Definitely worth some constructive criticism lol.Yeah, might sound like an asshole but I really think they should maybe look into getting some new UI designers. 4’s was totally forgettable, 5’s sucked, MCC's sucked at launch and still isn’t great now, and Infinite's isn’t looking too hot either, at least IMO.
This "horizontal layout with giant squares taking up the screen" shit sucks and IDK why they're so obsessed with it.
Didn't see much positive comments about the UI on the waypoint thread, lol. I hope it's one of the things they can work on before launch.Haha the UI in Infinite is not that great. Definitely worth some constructive criticism lol.
The only legendary edition I ever bought for Halo was for Halo: Reach, and I didn't end up liking the game very much. So I'm paranoid to to do it again. It makes me superstitious that I'll jinx the quality of Infinite.Hopefully there is a physical Limited or Legendary edition.
I wasn't a fan of a lot of stuff Reach did either. I think the game was carried in a lot of ways by the sheer amount of content and features it had. Also since we were talking about it Reach's UI is excellent and probably the best in the entire series, 343 should really just copy it.The only legendary edition I ever bought for Halo was for Halo: Reach, and I didn't end up liking the game very much.

EDIT: To clarify, the quality of Reach was excellent. I just didn't like the game lol. I didn't like bloom; I didn't like the new abilities; and it's when sprint was first introduced to Halo
It's interesting that 343 is using preset color schemes in Infinite instead of Reach's customization of being able to control basically everything about the look of the spartan. They still need a carrot on a stick for some microtransaction incentive.I wasn't a fan of a lot of stuff Reach did either.

Yay I'm not alone in not liking the BR in Halo 5. Would always use the DMR instead (if available) or just run with the pistol.I'll play because I'm bored.
Edit: By the way, that video reminds me - if (and let's be honest, when) they bring back the classic shotty, I REALLY hope it's the CE one. That's still by far my favorite shotgun in the entire series and it kind of got its balls cut off in all the subsequent games.
- My favorite pistols by use and power: CE > Reach > 4 > ODST > Infinite > 5 > 2 = 3 (both are trash)
- Favorite BR: 2 > Infinite > 3 > 4 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 5 (fucking hated 5's BR, its design, its firing style at launch... just disgusting)
- Weapon I'd most like to see return for Infinite: Target Locator, Reach had a lot of weird "experimental" weapons that unfortunately got dropped immediately after (Bonus answers: Sticky Detonator + any of the missing classic weapons)
- Map remake I'd most like to see in Infinite: This is HARD because the OT was a treasure trove of classic maps, some of the best in video game history. If I had to pick one it'd probably be Guardian because that was always my favorite "competitive" map.
Sounds like something will be there...I have a feeling the Single Player E3 footage will be released during Gamescom.
Yep I think that is a big gripe I have as well. Everything is so human. We need to see some more diverse environments and locales. And I laughed at, "Just use the rule of 3 again, humans, enemies, weird alien shit."3 out of 4 of those don't look like Arena maps, they look like BTB or firefight maps etc. This is a good sign. I agree with the maps being same-y but I'm very happy to see clean lines and clean geometry to enjoy the gameplay in. Less clutter visually and during aiming or grenade throwing etc. If they just keep their focus squarely on the gameplay then I'm a happy Halo fan. I feel the Banished are having similar design issues where they basically have that human armour and weapons look. I wanted the Banished to be more animal, like the old hairy ape-like brutes, not textured like an elite wearing human armour again.
I just find it so weird they go through all this design and iteration work when the art from Blur's cutscenes is universally loved from the models and textures to animations and lighting. I've said it before, it's like they have a roadmap but just want to carve their own path every time. 343 and Blur created these awesome assets with the Halo 2 cutscenes and have just left it behind.
Given the rings are supposed to house thousands of species and save galaxies from extinction you'd think the biomes would be more diverse and therefore the maps more diverse. Where is some crazy alien shit? What of even the missions from Halo 5 that had more alien flora etc. I mean Earth based chickens on Bazaar is cool to see but they could have gone more out of this world. Just use the rule of 3 again, humans, enemies, weird alien shit. Perhaps we'll be surprised by the yet to be revealed maps or campaign but so far it's all looking very human based from the environments and enemies to the multiplayer maps and weapons. Shit even your personal AI could do with a Forerunner dark AI or digitised precursor or something to shake it all up.
Plaza was one of the few memorable maps from Halo 5, IMO. The medium and large sized maps all felt like low budget forge maps made by a bunch of interns.
I thought Halo 4 had some excellent maps across the board and 343i's best work. I loved Haven, Complex, Solace, Landfall, Exile and Skyline. The skyboxes in Landfall and Skyline were epic.
Monolith was pretty good with some nice sight lines for snipers and DMRs and a nice risk/reward for the rocket launcher in the middle.I forgot about Solace. That was a good looking map and played well too. Did you like Monolith?
More leaks. This time a batch of helmet models and voice lines possibly having to do with a game mode. Do not listen to the lines if you're trying to avoid spoilers cuz it may or may not also tie into the campaign.
EDIT: Also this -
No that's a horrible idea. Is that what the leak said? The way I interpreted the rumor is that the BR mode will have references to the campaign in hopes of enticing people to buy the campaign. Meaning BR mode would be free to play.Not sure if it's a good idea to make the BR only playable if you purchase Infinite though, Firestorm ended up DOA because of it.
They couldn't paywall it. Crossplay and F2P is what gets that massive population ticking over for fast matches and great region support.I'd be pretty surprised if they paywalled BR, it'd be a pretty stupid decision. Being F2P is what skyrocketed shit like Apex and Fortnite to success.
Sorry, that's just how I read it when they said its got connections to the campaign. I agree it'd be horrible since no one is going to play it then.No that's a horrible idea.

That sounds about right. Speaking of the survey I never got one.From what I can tell the leaks are coming from 3 main places:
1. Datamining the flight
2. The flight survey
3. Guys getting shit sent to them
There's probably more on top of that though.
Armor/weapons skins - Can be disabled so literally not an issueTo be fair, I haven't played TMCC much recently, so I haven't been able to see a lot of the changes. Does anyone feel that 343 is overdoing the skins and what not? Seems like a nothing burger to me.
I wish 343 would leave Halo: The Master Chief Collection alone
A fantastic time capsule is being transformed into an awkward and underwhelming live service game.www.pcgamer.com
That's awesome to hear. I want to play some more but I've been putting off re-downloading the game. It's a massive file size.Armor/weapons skins - Can be disabled so literally not an issue
New maps - Can see why people would have a problem with this, I like one of them (Waterfall I think?) but the other one is generic Halo 4 trash and does not belong in the Halo 3 rotation whatsoever.
Battle pass - Potentially annoying but not monetized so don't care too much.
Overall I feel like the positives of what 343's done with MCC drastically outweighs the negative. Still not perfect but it's currently better than I ever could have imagined.
I am also keen on Halo at the moment, hanging out for campaign. Really hope they have PvE content this time around at launch, well beyond FF.Sorry I keep posting. Just can't stop thinking about Halo lol. I've been surfing twitter and looking for anything Halo related.

That Turf makeover sure feels like Duke Nukem. What a mashup.
343 have certainly had enough time to be creative. If they don't have any PVE content at launch I'd be surprised, and really bummed.A Turf remake would be fucking awesome. I'd really like to see maps that haven't been remade a million times before (IE not Blood Gulch, Lockout, etc.)
