The game’s open world is inspired by the Silent Cartographer mission from the original Halo, in that it gives players the freedom to choose how to approach each mission, with whatever weapons or vehicles they decide to use.
When asked if the open world means players could grab a Banshee and drive to an objective three missions ahead in the story, the reply was “do it”.
So in other words, never get excited about the game again because of the reveal?, write it off as a joke, poor scorn on 343, Halo, and Microsoft, post constant Craig memes instead, etc.Promises - Hype - Disappointment- Anger - new Promises - Hype.....
The circle repeats endlessly with gamers and they don`t seem to learn.
This is especially dumb with games like this that had to be pulled once already due to sheer management incompetence.....and yet, people are already snorting the new slew of promises. I can count the number of successful 180s in fucked up game development over the last 20 years on one hand and yet here we are.....
That line about it being inspired by the Silent Cartographer mission has made me happier and more optimistic about this game than literally every other thing written or shown about it, its a superb level and is what Halo is all about.Sounds excellent. Silent Cartographer essentially captures everything that Halo is, so this all sounds great to me.
Games not being ready for launch is the norm, not the exception in this industry. The difference is that unlike say CDPR, Microsoft was willing to give the game more time. According to the video, 343 were aware of the issues the game had (such as with the material pipeline and lighting system), and are now able to address them before the game launches.Promises - Hype - Disappointment- Anger - new Promises - Hype.....

It is open world, they literally say that you can get a banshee and fly to 3 missions ahead (in space). While the story unfolds in a linear way all around the ring, there are secondary and optional objectives all around, even more, there are random patrols and encounters crafted to any vehicle or approach you are taking.It's not open world?
Lol
I also read on Eurogamer that you can push enemies off the edge of the Halo. That’s fucking sick!
Launch week for this is gonna be hype.
This is the game we want to play."
Thank God for that, this will be amazing.

Exactly, there's no way it's the whole ring. I'm guessing it's just a large section of it.I wonder how 'big' the world map will be then? Will the entire ring itself be accessible? I can't imagine that's true, that's just too massive.
Maybe this Halo ring is smaller than others? That would be cool, to be able to go through the whole thing.Exactly, there's no way it's the whole ring. I'm guessing it's just a large section of it.
Stuff like this baffles me a bitThe game has dynamic weather, with a wind system and a fog system included. There may be storms or snowstorms added in a post-launch update.
I can't stop playing Destiny 2. I have never really been addicted to a game but I feel like I am now! That is all I am playing these days. lolAlthough I am a big Halo fan, I have never been big into the campaigns. You play them once and then what? The Destiny 1 approach was far better, giving you reasons to re-play it.
Halo is mostly about multiplayer to me. When are we going to get info about that? Halo 5 was fantastic once I gave it a chance (and it's campaign is unfairly maligned, it's gameplay and level design are top notch).
Understatement of the decade. I really feel you. Watching what it was to where it is now is painful. Every one of my friends used to play Halo and love it, now it's barely mentioned. Knowing that the multiplayer is free, I'll no doubt try it out but my hope of a great Halo game has long faded. I'm just hoping for a fun mp shooter now.I really miss being excited about Halo.
To be fair 343 has never made a good game ever.So in other words, never get excited about the game again because of the reveal?, write it off as a joke, poor scorn on 343, Halo, and Microsoft, post constant Craig memes instead, etc.
To be fair 343 has never made a good game ever.
The main things 343 are talking about, and which the OP highlights, are the structure of the world, the story and gameplay progression, and the dynamism of the environments. None of these elements were showcased in the reveal, because it was a single gameplay encounter at a single point in time, with no clue as to how this related to the rest of the game as a whole. Realistically, you could have been shown that kind of demo for any Halo game. That's why after the demo there were so many questions about whether Infinite was an open world game or a semi-open world game or a wide-linear game. And I think it would be kind of perverse to criticise 343 for trying to shed more light on the arguably most important unresolved questions!(3) Barely six or so months after the trainwreck reveal, 343 is back talking a bunch of shit without backing it up - it's obvious why that is, there's no way they could have taken a game in that condition to anything good in that time.
Until 343 have a real time demo showing real improvement they really should STFU.
To be fair, it's alright to get hyped provided you understand they very well could be lying. If you accept that then should promises be broken you won't need to buy new pants.Promises - Hype - Disappointment- Anger - new Promises - Hype.....

Do you think your 'How dare you! I'm not a console warrior!' camo actually works?What on earth...
Why are you soo defensive? There isn't anything in that post to warrant bringing up Sony and attempting to descend this thread into yet another episode of console war bickering.
The whole industry is guilty of over-promising. Think No Man's Sky. It's an industry wide problem.
Some around here are just way too obsessed with Sony and seemingly get triggered at the mere hint of any sort of pessimism in a user's post.
Not yet. I expect something around E3 or whatever we will get this summer. Summer game fest?Sounds like they really understand the core of the franchise and are finally adding in the things fans have been asking for....
This game is launching in fall but they still don't have any trailers that are "official" / up to date right?
Wrong. Halo was gone after Reach, but now it's about to come back in a big way.Halos gone.
Do you think your 'How dare you! I'm not a console warrior!' camo actually works?
It doesn't and people understandably react to constant anti-Xbox trolling, here and in other threads.
Not that you're helping, here's some recent hot takes of yours, you independent thinker you...
Gamepass
I think it's a good place for AA games.
Zenimax games on PS5
I would assume it means if the series existed previously on that console then the series will continue to see titles.
Bethesda acquisition
It hardly seems strategic. And there are still hints that the familiar IP will be on PS.. despite the game subscription service.
PS5 coil whine
I wouldn't put it past some fanatics to invent problems with their systems to score some 'points'.
Kind of seems like there's a theme emerging doesn't it? That's fine btw, just try not to act like you're above it all.
Jesus Christ could you do anymore drive by shitposts in Xbox threads today?. Go get some sleep or something.Congrats on open world systems that have been standard for close to a decade now? Come on.
Truth hurts eh? 12 yr old? too poor? That's the fucking best you can do? LOL pathetic.another 12 year old console warrior.
Must suck to be too poor to have more than one plastic budget box.
Hopefully as i have never played it. With all the other Halo games on PC now, and Infinite coming, it would be a bit weird if they didnt release Halo 5 at some point this year.Are we getting halo 5 for pc?
