The screenshots look fucking dope! 
But I suspect Iâm not alone in thinking the night time could be a lot darker.
Here for example, the scene is amazing, the imposing banished structure in the back and this UNSC base in the front, and a starry sky, just great, only thing - it looks like my light pollution ridden city neighborhood and not this mystical object in space at night with mystery and natural wonder.
So I took this to myself and went to photoshop and made a few tweaks, and got this.
I think this would be the right levels of light to have at night. Still preserving the starry âmoonlightâ feel (in fact the stars are visible more now) but also making the whole thing more realistically darker & having the artificial lights pop more in the fog of the night.
Whaddyall think?
Soo good
Agreed!
But still to this day with many games I find the nighttime too bright, and sometimes HDR makes it even worse. RDR2 being a good example of that.
Do yourselves a favor. Put on some headphones. Crank the volume up. And got to where he blows up the Banshee with the Wasp at about 2:12 of the trailer
The sound is so fucking booming and incredible
Itâs an improvement, but I do feel like the blacks are hella crushed here. Maybe in HDR itâll sort out
HDR will be available at launch right?
I am so ashamed that I am disowning you, post haste
âŠwe can stll game share, though
Apparently its around the number halo 3 had which was 11
Lemme stop you right there, Chief
No
I thinking we donât how far along in to the evening, or night this screenshot was taken and your making an assumption
Your photoshop looks cool as hell, none the less
Whereâs that coming from?
Thatâs low to be sure. 8-9 arena maps and 2-3 btb maps. If itâs 11 thatâs less than I expected. I expected 13-14 maps and hoped for 16-17.
Itâs about average for a Halo game, no? Technically Halo 5 launched with a lot but it had odd maps where some were just mirror images and of course you had Breakout.
8-9 arena mapa and 3 BTB maps at launch would be fine, especially as I suspect we will be seeing maps being added quite regularly due to ongoing support.
11 would be ok. If Halo 3 can get GOAT status with that many maps, so can Infinite 
Itâs low/average by modern standards I think. If they do only have 11 maps I hope that they also have 3-4 343 made forge maps ready as well, but idk if thatâs even possible for them since forge might not be ready even for the studio to use.
Maybe thatâs fine for some but assuming thereâs nothing to do besides arena and btb at launch some will complain about it. I wonât complain as long as they have more quality maps Like behemoth and the btb map from the test.
To me I would prefer 10-11 maps of very high quality than 15-16 average maps. Map design is what may be the most important, especially in terms of replayability and player engagments.
I agree. Having played 5 of their maps so far though I think only 2 are of very high quality. Bazar is pretty good. Live fire and recharge are meh. Still though making great maps is hard, fragmentation and behemoth are amazing and better than anything from 4, and 5 easily. Iâll be happy with 4-5 great maps total.
I think you are over inflating what shooters typically launch with. They normally launch with around 10, and I know for a fact the last 2 BFs launched with around that, so I donât see it being an issue. It will only be an issue if they are all rubbish, which we already know that is not the case.
