IGN player wasn't a fan of 5 and yet liked this. To me, that's a good sign lol.

There is so a Sony discord clique in the background shitting up Halo threads. Some of those takes just aren't real.

I can't take some of those posts seriously, lol. This takes me back to GameTrailers forum days.

QUICK WARNING: I've seen some posts going around on twitter stating there are lots of spoilers in the Game Informer write-up. Read at your own risk.
Just like IGN, Game Informer will be doing their own coverage, info dump on Infinite leading up to its release. I have not read it yet.

I've read basically everything cuz I don't really care about spoilers lol. Yeah there's a reasonably big thing they spoil that seems to be pissing off some of the 4/5 fans, but won't say more than that. But I will say that I was kind of expecting it and I'm a fan of it personally haha.

When you say that some Halo 4/5 fans will be upset I immediately think it has something to do with Prometheans or perhaps something to do with the Cortana story arc. I did see some tweets celebrating no Prometheans in Infinite. Is that basically the spoiler?
Dr. Samuel Hayden

Yeah that's one of them I guess but there's something else that apparently happens in the opening scene of the game.

Ahh I see. I guess if you're reviewing the first few hours of the campaign it's hard to leave out what happens at the beginning of the game.

Oh my are you trying to get to 152? I wish you the best of luck. I knew I would never come close lol.
So I've been asleep all day. What is the story here? Rumors going around that 343 will release Infinite multiplayer early?

Lot of insiders saying they are going to drop it on the 15th and which is what the Anniversary Announcement will be. Tom Warren, as well.

Good luck. People only play Team Slayer in H5 it seems. No issue finding a match there.
Some of the H5 forge maps are horrendous though. Crazy they are in official matchmaking - like legit some of the worst maps in online multiplayer history.
Crazy they only have 3 maps in the social TS playlist - pretty much forced to play ranked.

What about swat? I feel like in the past I would do warzone assault for exp if available or swat instead.

Good question. When do you think we can start the download for multiplayer? If this really is official we should be seeing some option soon I'd hope and maybe an answer to your question too.

Google even says MP launches in 2 days. Stupid search engine better not be lying...

I think it depends when they confirm it. Im guessing MS were hoping for a mic drop at the end of the video on Monday and this has ruined it. Closing out the show with 'actually you can go and download multiplayer now and start playing' would have been awesome for them.

Yeah that has got to be really disheartening for MS. Would have been an epic announcement.
Nothing new. Just the timeline of when pieces are available in TMCC:

That's true. Crazy to think that's only 2 days away. Monday! We have waited sooo long for the next Halo and the matchmaking is upon us. I'm gonna have to improve substantially because during the preview I was pretty terrible.

False alarm maybe?

Ok it's sounding like multi tomorrow is back on the menu because they managed to fix a last minute bug or something. Every insider is saying it so it'll be weird if it doesn't happen.

Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttt?? Well honk my hooter!
I'd have to agree lol

Apparently the bug allowed you to view files of the full campaign or something, lol. I guess they don't want a repeat of the first flight.

The leaked Infinite OST? Escharum, Know My Legend and The Road tracks are so fucking good. Gareth Coker done real good, channelling Marty with respect and freshness. Kudos.
Deputy Moonman

I wish NeoGAF had a shocked face emoji to use for people's posts cuz I would use it a lot. I can totally understand why 343 would be like sorry can't do it if the all campaign files would be accessible.
Good stuff. Though I don't have time right now to listen through the full 30 minutes.

Oh wow yeah that would be a very different experience. You'd know that the MC was supposed to be this awesome character but would be missing A LOT of backstory. Front page of xbox.com is pretty cool today and all retro. I don't know maybe it has been that way, but still cool. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/
lol imagine having this collection

Putting in some strong work, DM! 
That Halo segment at the end with 343 was really cool! Love the segment where the bosses gave a nod to all the employees when they were all clapping.
Luckily I'm working a day shift today, doing some training and will be home in a couple of hours for some Infinite multiplayer.

Is it only available via game pass on console? It's not giving me another option to get it
Deputy Moonman

As far as I know it should still be free to play, which wouldn't require gamepass I wouldn't think. Or is that the catch that never was made clear?
