Nice.

Looking forward to getting back into Halo Infinite, after putting it down for a bit to play other games.

Stream is about to start!

Interesting preview. For some reason I expected a brief session afterwards talking a little bit about each map and highlighting some more obscure points about them.

I haven’t gotten a sense of how they will actually flow in real games, nor if certain sections are only reachable via Repulsor tricks or Grappleshot.

Will the upcoming season pass only reward you xp boost and challenges swap or they change that? For f2p gamers)

Have they confirmed if you complete next battle pass you get enough credits back to buy next one?

I do recall hearing about being rewarded with credits as you complete a battle pass. There were also discussions that if you complete the BattlePass you’d have enough for the next one. The credit rewards are probably mixed into the tiers as you progress and not solely at the end.

{ I can’t recall where these discussions took place – too long of a week and it’s Friday. }

In the discussion they had posted on waypoint they said that the premium tier of season 2 will award 1000 cr total, they also said more customization options will be available on the free track of season 2’s battle pass

I have to say, I’m really hoping Jez’s potential leak about Certain Affinity being deep in to a Battle Royal mode for Infinite is one I certainly hope is true

I was never one saying it needed a BR mode, but I also was never opposed to it at least evetually having one. And always thought if it ever did the best way to do it would be to have a seperate dev team to make it and maintain it, so 343 can focus on all the sttuff they already have to. (Campaign, Arena, BTB, Co-op, whatever PVE modes they may add, Forge etc)

Let’s hope if it happens it also comes available as it’s own Free-to-Play client, as well as being in the Main games suite. The formula for success there has been well laid already by Fotnite, Apex and Warzone. And doing it that way would show that 343 wasn’t lying when they said they had no plans on doing a Battle Royal, as they would not be

Yeah I was always in the camp it doesn’t NEED it, but I still wanted it because I thought it would be cool. I am hoping it’ll be a 3rd person BR game because after seeing the 3rd person SP clips, though would still be ok with 1st person as I’m not one of those crazy people that has to play one or the other and nothing else is good.

For people who want a Battle Royal this is all great news, and I hope it does well enough to keep up with the likes of Fortnite, Warzone and Apex. Since 343 isn’t going to be working on it I’m glad that the portion of the game I care about is not going to be abandoned.

Edit: Wanted to ask, do we think that more variants of weapons like the versions in the campaign will be added to the BR part of the game? Or those variants being stronger means that they won’t make it into the game itself, so they would have to bring back the older weapons they cut out from the game to compensate.

Maybe this is why they had a big push for good bots

Drop pods, respawn tokens, containment zone…yeah, that’s a Battle Royal.

I’m wondering how they will make it different to other BR.

lol yep it’s true. Looks like it’s pretty far into development. I guess certain affinity will be maintaining the battle royale, while 343 will be responsible for the regular multiplayer+forge. seems like a smart way to do it.

Would be cool if the bubble circle was the flood lol.

How about instead of a bubble it is the Halo falling apart? Like how we see sections in the campaign.
