Halo Infinite - E3 2018 - Announcement Trailer (XB1/PC - Sequel to Halo 5)
- Thread starter Mecha Meister
- Start date
I'm assuming we'll start the game several months after a war has erupted, then, with some backstory through data pads, or terminals, or chatter, etc as we continue playing. Very nice trailer; I've always wanted more wildlife in missions to give it a more immersive feel. I remember giant floating jellyfish in one trailer, so I'm hoping you guys put some other interesting creatures into the game. Given the scenario we left off, I'm imagining a rag tag collection of uniforms, weapons and vehicles.
Any way, I'm really looking forward to it.
time travel shenanigans/clip show of the greatest Halo hits confirmed.
I guess I should be more specific and say animals of...sufficient biomass. It seemed like nothing big enough for the flood to use remained on the rings.
Good, those abilities never belonged in Halo. Halo is at its best when it's a medium paced arena shooter.
Yes, IMO nothing looks new. Nothing screams that this is something we haven't seen before from Halo. What's more amazing is that you didn't draw that conclusion.
The helmet/gauntlet designs look almost identical to Halo 3:
This makes me wonder if they'll be ditching the advanced armor abilities (sprinting, ground pound, etc).
I hope so. I really, really hope so. At the very least I want to see sprinting removed. It has been such a huge detriment to the gameplay in my opinion. Especially when it comes to multiplayer level design (map size especially).
The aesthetic of it all really drew me in. Clean, artificial, easy to read, colorful. Going back to the Halo ring themselves is a dream come true. Bring to PC, sign me up!
I really hope it's slim and back to basics like I'm getting the sense of.

Reposting since I replaced the original images with 4K versions:
We need a name for the recent trend of E3 presentations aimed, at least in part, at touting the company to prospective employees. EA has mastered that and this appears to be something similar. Still, I'm incredibly excited for a new Halo game (even if it's pivoting away from the excellent art style used in 4 and 5).

Everyone saying that was the inside of a Pelican - pretty sure that's the interior of the drop pods from Halo 1 instead.
Have to agree. Really ugly marines. Excited for new single player halo. Hoping multi-player isn't too different.
Both designs are in the canon so we could see both in the game, I don't care "how much the complaint has to do with canon", that wasn't my point.
Do people want a God of War style reinvention of the Halo franchise.
People are clamouring for a return to Halo 1-3 style games. The art style looks sweet, a focus on Cheif is MUCH wanted.
For the new. The hints were there. The trailer hinted at a more open world/land scape. The presence of wild life was a focus too.
Lets wait for gameplay before writing it off completely.
That's a pelican dude. Halo 1 doesn't even have drop pods, you can even see a picture of the pelican damage on the screen inside the pelican.
It definitely looked real time to my trained eyes. Not that that doesn't mean the game's development will necessitate downgrades to make everything work properly when the final product comes around.
Halo 2 E3 demo. Never forget. But yeah, this definitely was not CG.
Surprised to see people saying this, but I am personally fond of Reach's art style. Out of curiosity, what Marine design in the series do you think are the best?
Based on the comments from 343 and how little was shown in the trailer it seems like this might not even release in 2019.
Hopefully it'll be worth the wait.
Glad to hear the focus is back on master chief. Locke and his crew were awful.

Oh absolutely I'm sure everyone wants to work on Respawn's Star Wars game after that exhilarating announcement.
I think the marine design is good, looks much more realistic to me. I guess it doesn't look particularly futuristic but that's not really much of a complaint to me
Looks almost like a mix of the 343 Battle Rifle and the Bungie one to me. Definitely looks more gun like than it did in the previous 343 games.
Looks great, gives me original Halo vibes which is all I've ever wanted. I might consider buying the next gen Xbox if this shapes up to be worth it (once it has a cheaper revision a couple of years in).
Thank god for the new (seemingly more simple) artstyle. The last two games have been simply too much.
Also if Blue Team is in this, please do them some damn justice.

It's probably both. Kinda like why God of War 4 is just called God of War. They know interest in the main story is waning, but they also don't want to do a full reboot. I also got the impression that they want to show a strong change in gameplay, possibly to open world, and naming it Halo Infinite gets that message across better than Halo 6 would.
Blue Team, as much as fans love them, and it was great to see them in game, didn't work. The whole extended cast just took away from the Chief.
I think it could have worked if they didnt need to focus on Osirus too. The dynamic was there, it could have been great,.
Definitely won't write it off, but for all the talk of "exclusive games you will want to play on Xbox," seemed the same song and dance as far as Halo is concerned. I haven't been impressed since 3 so could just be me. The series doesn't need reinvention, it needs refocus.

Christ, im assuming this is a next xbox game, but this game is going to be a stunner
It's a bargain-bin purchase if Brian Reed is leading the narrative.
Multiplayer might be cool though. Looking forward to gameplay in the future.
