This is the only geometry I've seen that screams last gen to me that I've seen, but I'm sure there's more. Look at the edge of that rock lol, it's almost perfectly straight. I can also see the texture seam on the left (north east of the radar):
Close to a perfect loadout, I'm still looking at the A button for equipment though. You have to take your thumb off a stick to use it. I was playing around with the grappleshot on behemoth yesterday and it's really useful to aim continuously while using the grappleshot. I get wanting the same universal setup across all platforms. Personally I even use my Elite 2 on PC for gaming so I have the same setup everywhere, well except Ninty games.
Nice idea. I like what Apex does with auto-sprint too. Hell I'd also like to see Infinite's slide more like Apex's slide too.
and honestly, why do we even have analog sticks if we don't use their analog nature to determine how fast we move?

Playing Halo on a controller without grenades on LT is pure blasphemy. WTF is wrong with you?
LT for scope still hurts to see, I just don’t see the point for this game.
Now that the Honeymoon period is over for me, Infinite in this current state is fun. Its miles better than Halo 4, its ahead of Halo 5 - but still far behind Halo 2 and especially 3 in my opinion. Infinite is still too fucking fast, chaotic, and manic in its gunfights and skirmishes. Strongholds on Recharge is Halo on speed.
I played MCC Halo 3 directly after Flight 2 and H3 just has that timeless Halo sauce. There's a rhythm to H3's gameplay that has yet to be matched after all these years. Not everything has to be fast as hell.
Infinite is fun - it is its own thing - ill play it to death - but its still no Halo 3.
The weapons fall, bounce/slide ever so slightly and spark on impact while the grenade rolls. The Spartan fall animation is excellent, showcasing proper weight.
There's nothing remotely last gen screaming about either the game's geometry or physics. You can see intricate model detail on objects like the warthog, right down to the suspension and and other small details such as the wheels. This level of detail is present in many parts of the game. The physics are the way they are for the purpose of the game, and there are plenty of examples that showcases the game's physics are actually rather good. You can really see the warthog suspension changing and adjusting to the terrain it's moving on. And just what is your definition of next-gen physics for a videogame focused on fighting aliens and other super soldiers anyway? The game even has individual, piece by piece destruction of vehicles.
As far as the texture work is concerned, why wouldn't people be impressed? The quality, richness and variety on display are insane. It doesn't appear as if there is a single texture anywhere in the entire game that doesn't look unbelievable. The game's performance is also fantastic, it has incredible lighting, great atmospherics and visual effects, stunning attention to detail. Literally every thing is readable down to the smallest of decals or product labeling. Insignificant objects are packing really nice geometry and detail. So, yea, I couldn't disagree with you more, this game looks unbelievable, one of the best I've seen, and it's only just the MP. What the hell is the Campaign going to look like then?
How does it enhance gameplay?
Games not finished anyway, see what it's like at release.
I think we'll be getting a mix of small story campaigns (covering other characters) which will be free and then major ones that deal with Master Chief's next adventure that will be paid on top of other updates be it graphical, gameplay or other overhauls. From the Waypoint blogs, they haven't dropped that Infinite is a live service platform and I think it was a good move. Staten also has experience from being on the Destiny team to make the right moves.
Everyones is invited to this .... us Halo Infinite Insider veterans will have a field day
Sounds like you need an elite controller.
In many ways. You can go around corners then dash back after seeing what’s there, you can jump then dash backwards to get the jump on people that are behind you, your movement is less predictable especially while jumping. It just gives you more options across the board, both offensively and defensively.
Appreciate the very detailed response, thanks.
