@RelloK

Nothing really new there, been a slow start for this IGN First. Hopefully next week is better.

Yeah, just the sneak peak of the rewards really and the fact they will be monitoring the challenges.

I wonder if they will start to show campaign or whether they will show more maps.

Ryan said campaign comes “later in the month”, possibly a fh5 style preview? he played 4 hours of the campaign so if they show that off at the anniversary event that would be the embargo’ed time.

Definitely not next week then. I am not too sure because I thought the whole point of IGN First is for IGN to get exclusive coverage of a game. I can see IGN getting first dibs and then the rest of industry afterwards.

Yeah I wouldn’t be shocked if they got things right after the stream and other outlets later in the month.

It’d be absolutely tragic if ign had exclusive coverage of the game fully till release lol

Yeah, I heard Ryan talking with that developper on the Streets map and was a bit worried. Their exchange was weird and kind of cold, I don’t know why. Maybe that’s just me, but that joke about him “not knowing about how a game works” fell flat. I felt like that dev wanted to fly back to Seattle straight away.

That coverage is so bad. It’s like they had to, so they’ll do the bare minimum. Probably many other games suffered from that, but hey, that’s Halo for f*** sakes.

I like Destin, but I think that’s it. They have good videos sometimes, like that Forza Horizon retrospective.

I feel like 343i could have done way better videos themselves but they had to promote the game in other channels.

yea

@PoderickPayne

Ha!! So much for that, Jack

And good lord, you were right. My only hope for IGN is the person playing is not the girl who is reviewing the multiplayer. When they announced her as being the person responsible for that, I wasn’t sure who she was, but every conversation since then she doesn’t seem to know much, or have played a lot games in general. In the back of my mind I thought, okay maybe she hasn’t because she’s mainly in to multiplayer shooters. Which would explain why she got assigned to review Halo Infinite MP

But if this is her playing?..yikes

I doubt that’s her playing. All the tags are ‘Dev’ so that will be direct feed footage given to them by 343i I expect.

Jess and JohnWick Mayo told me immediately afterwards that it was not her. And that she’s actually good at shooters. So I stepped away from the gate

I’d imagine if they played the game it was under a dev account. they’re not logging into their personal ones within 343i.

Straight from the website single player DLC/Expansions confirmed I say that was pretty obvious exciting times

Wonder if they will treat Infinite like a hub for all the upcoming Halo (at least Chief’s) stories in the next decade, or is that plan for the multiplayer only?

The main client is the MP game, campaigns appear to be DLC unlocks that you can download and install as you want. This will help make adding new content in not balloon the base size of the game moving forward.

Not sure about Chief, but wasn’t the idea to bring multiplayer spartans into the story?

Also I hope they will update engine eventually to look more next gen.
