XboxEra Community Hangout |OT3| Setting Low Expectations

I dont know what the context for this is because all Infinite needs is a solid campaign assuming they dont mess up the multiplayer aspect which they seemingly landed on 5 for most of it. What people kinda wanna know (ME) is how progression and customization works.

As big of a Halo fan as you can be I guess. Which is good, keep Halo…Halo. Hopefully they got something good planned on June 13 for the whole package, meaning not just one mode.

Yeah, on a more serious note, that’s an expression that I’m not familiar with. I guess what Jeff Grubb meant by that is that Halo Infinite is really going back to its roots and is more traditionnal in a sense, to please the old fans, but I thought it was pretty obvious from the start. They always said they were catering to the old fans more than trying to attract new fans.

I find it funny they and others keep saying that, but having Halo be semi-open world with gadgets like grappling hooks is not indicative of Halo going back to its roots and/or not trying to attract new fans.

That doesn’t mean they can’t be catering the game to traditional Halo fans though. Getting to play as the Chief on a halo ring along with a more tradition art style and feel to the combat and movement is probably what they’re referring to.

Halo 5 just felt off and wrong in so many ways. But seeing that demo from last year was a relief for me. Game looks like a lot of fun.

I don’t think it’s about Kat’s Ass in Reach.

Maybe it’s like jabroni?

The loading times and quick resume are absolutely game changers (no pun). I think I would have had hours and hours less spent on Assassin’s Creed Odyssey if I’d had Series X three years ago, because the difference on every fast travel is ridiculous

It’s impossible to go back. Just thinking about those load times makes me ill.

Yeah, we don’t know exactly how the sandbox will work but they added some innovative stuff. For example, are we sure wheels are destructible on whartogs ? I’m not sure they confirmed it already.

Grappling hook. I guess we know a bit of how it works in campaign and MP, but I want to see it used in multiple scenarios.

I hope to be blown away by these kind of attention to details. I think they still want to evolve the gameplay but not in the same direction Halo 4 and 5 went, for sure. What it means is still up in the air.

See? Plenty of questions, and I doubt they will let us wait until launch for these to be answered. It’s begging, begging for a dedicated stream especially since they only have so much time during the show itself.

So no one wants some mystery left on the game and game mechanics for when they play the game the first time?

I’d say 4. They will generally try anything to be honest. Deffo Minecraft and Lego games.

Maybe it’s better to show it directly to us, idk, like with a beta…soon !! :crossed_fingers:

I really hope they will at least have a serie of videos or vidocs ready to show all the new stuff. They will obviously have some videos to illustrate the multiplayer, weapons, skins ect. It feels like we waited so long for that stuff to come, like since the infamous gameplay they showed last year tbh.

Can’t wait to just finally see the UI, the different MP modes and weapons.

Oh definitely! That’s a big part of the fun, discovering stuff for the first time yourself, cool details etc. I just want to have another look at the campaign, that game world with the improved visuals, especially!

Found it for those who want to hear exactly what he had to say about Halo (timestamped).
