Halo |OT| Master Chief's Breath of the Wild Moment (Part 1)

where art thou?

Ok I was wrong about the IGN thing, itā€™s actually Halo :open_mouth:

Halo Infinite will be released on December 8, but in the meantime, IGN has exclusive coverage of Master Chiefā€™s spiritual reboot all month long as part of our editorial IGN First ā€œcover storyā€ initiative. That means weā€™ll be dropping exclusive content throughout the month of November (and yes, weā€™ve played the campaign ā€“ the first four hours of it), starting with todayā€™s reveal of a brand-new Arena multiplayer map called ā€˜Streetsā€™.

I had a feeling IGN was doing an IGN First for Halo since Ryan said he had been away and Greenberg reacted to his Tweet yesterday.

The marketing is now officially in high gear so I hope you like Halo :grin:.

I thought it was Forza because thereā€™s people in Mexico on a work trip haha, maybe itā€™ll still be a thing too.

Indeed. I know we dunk on Ryan for his crazy takes, but he has been a Halo fan since day one.

Maybe more related to reviews potentially being dropped on November 4th.

That is still thing, but he mentioned him and Miranda were away 2 weeks ago so didnā€™t line up with what Major Nelson mentioned. It was always going to be Halo or the 20th Anniversary.

Wow this Streets map looks stunning visually.

Infinite is an incredibly clean looking game I will give it that.

A super clean, sharp and crisp game always makes a game look amazing for me. The Division 2 is another game that looks so damn good because itā€™s sharp and crisp.

And thatā€™s what really matters, especially if you have a competitive setting as well. Not overloading the environments.

I am not against a super busy game if the art and game is intertwined with that aesthetic. But yeah, there is beauty in just a super clean presentation.

So Ryan has already played the first 4 hours of the campaign which is kinda big news, could this mean if MS sends out early copies it could be considered for GOTY at TGA? I remember reading something about games can be considered if they are sent early to be ā€œreviewedā€ by people at TGA.

edit: Also wtf just like that Halo is trending on Twitter lol

Good for Ryan like finally we get to see more on this game so close to launch I wouldnā€™t know considering he has blocked me after I called out his hypocritical take a few months ago

It also gives the game room to be optimizable and playable on a broader range of hardware configurations. Valorant, Overwatch, CSGOā€¦ I bet a large part of those gamesā€™ popularity comes from hardware accessibility.

This is also critical as well, it just gives many more players a chance to play it on PC as well.

This is what also said about the campaign footage. Yes, not the next-gen visual showcase, but clean and beautiful does the job so well.
