My question is, should we be concerned with Perfect Dar…I’m kidding
My real question is, after playing this past weekend’s flight, including the vehicle gameplay on the new arena map, Behemoth, do you have any doubt that at the very least, the gameplay for Infinite’s campaign is going to be tremendous?
we know a great deal of the multiplayer part of the game, and not so much of the campaign. However something that perhaps hasn’t been brought out because of the light of recent game play is the story of Halo Infinite. Remarkably, Halo holds a unique position in gaming that many other IPs don’t have- a deep and rich lore and legend, something that shared by things like Star Wars and Star Trek.
So what do people think will happen in Halo Infinite? We know that the game will take place on Zeta Halo, that Cortana apparently is still on the loose, and Master Chief will be fighting the Banished. We know that the Pilot may be Master Chief’s main side kick, but what about Locke and Fire Team Osiris? Will Fire Team Blue return?
I would be interested to hear what the YHMAH team think might happen and what they would like to see happen in Halo Infinite, and where the Halo saga goes in the future.
this will be the last time I listen to the podcast live, as at the end of this day my community will go out of lockdown, and will be back at the office next week. So thanks for the enjoyment of listening to the podcast live, even though I am not a Halo player.
So I am going to ask you all to look past the next two months, and even the first half year of Halo Infinite, and ask each of you where you see Halo Infinite at December 2022? What state do you want to see Halo Infinite at,what will you be playing, and do you think you will be as enthusiastic about Halo Infinite then as you are now? (Please take the recent leak of Forge into account.)

PS. for your compilation of Halo Infinite flight clips, it is a standard that Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass’s Spanish Flea is included in any clip show.

When December 8th comes and we get the full launch suite of multiplayer modes, do you think SWAT will be included? I’m asking for an annoying Austrailian friend who I won’t name…let’s just call him …Ed
Sorry folks it’s been such a busy week that I forgot to schedule the live stream and ask for questions! We’re live in just under 7 hours with episode THIRTY!
Drop any questions you have below and we’ll do our best to get to them.
We’re all hyped about what we saw on Monday, but for the sake of discussion if you HAD to pick, what are 3 things you’d like to see 343 improve upon (based on what we have seen of the campaign) post-launch?
If the game is ‘one shot’ cinematography that means MC must be in every scene, including the one with Cortana surveying a holographic spire structure. You guys think we might encounter a more friendly Cortana this time around as she doesn’t appear hostile in that snippet?
Could this be the first Halo game where you can play after beating the main campaign? Or have a New Game+ option?
Hello Panel, and Nick who’s probably lurking in the chat (quick edit, OH CRAP, HE’S THERE…Panel is on the panel)
Now that we have seen some mini-bosses and what should be full on bosses, what would your preferences be for how these encounters could go?
Such as, should they always be one-on-one encounters, or might some feature adds of normal enemies thrown in? Also, how would you feel about giant sized bosses to fight, ala Gears, Psychonauts 2 and a zillion other games? Where you are dealing with changing mechanics, environments etc. Or would you rather they all just be somewhere around normal sized…or at least what constitutes normal in the Halo universe?
Also, just how deviously brilliant was Sony’s move to post a Forbiden West blog the same morning as the Halo Infinite Overview trailer? Practically no one even knew Halo had put out anything judging by the lack of views and internet buzz it got. At least according to my source of unquestionable integrity, who’s name rhymes with Frap Maimer. Does the Panel agree?
So… 343i has finally shown us the campaign again and it is looking really good isn’t it.
My question is what do people think is going to happen to Cortana in the end - not you Doncabesa lol. It seems like they are either setting up for her to ‘die’ or for the weapon to sort of take over her role, or even merge somehow.
From the last book I read, Cortana was Evil Empress Cortana trying to rule the universe (better than humans). 117 visited Reach again to dig up some stuff that helps to fight her. What it was, was not described. For Halo Infinite I do not know if she is already disintegrated or not. MY guess is not that why there is this new AI.
Do you think the campaign and its new structure will be the divisive point of this iteration of Halo? The “sprint” of this gen so to speak. Personally I hope they lean so far into the “Ubisoftesque” nature of it that even the French will be envious I think it would suit Halo Infinite very well, especially as a platform to build on continuously over the generation.
it’s long been rumoured that Jason Scheier is planning an article about 343 Industries and the making of Halo Infinite- any thoughts about it? It is remembered that Scheier dropped that article about Naughty Dog before the Last of Us II, but the article didn’t seem to unduly affect the critical reception or sales of that game.
Current plans as we work towards launch. We’ll be live next Thursday, November 18th for our next show in case anything is shown on the 20th anniversary.
The following week is Thanksgiving in the US so we’ll have a pre-recorded LORE episode where we get OneBadMutha and special guest Amanda (My wife!) up to date on the game’s story.
We’ll be looking to go weekly with episodes every Thursday straight through launch with shows on the 2nd and 9th of December. We’ll figure out the rest of December but a weekly show is our hope!
