That's some serious misdirection if it's not. We just need to get Stinkles on video talking about it to confirm. He's got a terrible poker face.
I'm excited we are getting a new Halo and it's about Master Chief but I don't know how I am going to react to the open world aspect. I really enjoy the story driven and tighter experience of the traditional Halos. I'm not saying that I'm not open to change but I don't know how I am going to react to this game. I hope I enjoy it and it doesn't push my interest in Halo away. This is a game I will be watching very closely.
I'll remind you that many Halo early trailers ended up being very different from retail games (Halo CE, Halo 2, Reach's intro was changed heavily, and Halo 5 marketing painted different picture, Halo Wars changed quite a bit as well). This game is still years away perhaps.
But that is exactly what 343 is. Clones of stinkles running around throwing PCs and Xbox dev stations
Really surprised they didn't even give this a generic 2019 date. This fall will mark 3 years since 343 last shipped a game, and if they don't hit fall 2019 that would be 4 years. That's a shockingly long time for a Microsoft studio to take on a game that isn't a new IP.
I still feel like Halo has untapped potential, so I'm eager to see how this looks and plays.

Gah. Dying to hear Brad Sams (aka the first leaker of Halo infinity) expound on what he's heard on Halo Infinite and 343i in his blogpost tomorrow. This looks to be a 2020 release, and so you'd expect it to coincide with the next-bot, but with 343i saying it targets the current Xbox family perhaps the next-bot isn't 2020 as we'd all thought.
It's been said in this thread few times. The source, which i don't have handy, is a 343i blog post or some such where they note this.
Also, the trailer contains date, 27.5.2560, indicating it is two years after Halo 5, in case you missed that.
Thank god this is dropping on PC but damn if I aint mad that PC user will only get Infinite and know fuck all of whats happening. Praying for an MCC port but this game seems to have the aesthetics of the original Halo games, especially when looking at Chief's helmet. Hopefully this is a return to form even though I liked Halo 5's gameplay from the little time I had with it.
Hopefully 343 can reinvent the games and go back to their roots + innovate so we can have a return to form quality-wise. Microsoft did real well, the industry needs competition, it breeds innovation.

I wonder if we'll see more at GamesCom 2018? Hopeful, been waiting for Halo 6 (now called Infinite) for a while now. I am doubtful that it releases in 2019 though, I at least hope for a MP Beta next year.
Technically he was the big bad of Reach/Halo 1, you just never see him in that game and hear about it after the fact in Halo 2. He was Supreme Commander of the Covenant forces.
He was definitely a bad guy before he flipped. And people were pissed about playing from his perspective in Halo 2.
He was never the big bad, it was always the Prophets.
He was a bad guy, but he wasn't the big bad.
I really doubt 343 is going to drop another main villain right away AGAIN.
Wow nice to hear that Halo 3 theme again. An open world Halo game set on a Halo ring is my dream. The ringworld setting alone is more than enough to get me pumped.
Day one no matter what.

Jesus Christ dude, the point is that the Arbiter was a bad guy and then went good, and therefore Cortana could easily go good->bad->good. Don't be so obtuse. This isn't as hard as you want to make it.
Holy shit, has anything like this ever been done? Just realized it could be open world but a ring.
That'd be some really stupid shit, do all that set up to have Cortana be the big bad and just throw it away?
Then what? Have a Brute set up in an RTS game be the main villain?
It was very clearly real time stuff. I doubt the final game will look that good if they are going for large environments like the demo suggests, but this was nowhere near the realm of CG.
There is no way this doesn't end in a redemption arc for Cortana
Halo has never exactly been the peak of original story telling.
Also developers have started to make their games and engines scale to new consoles with the Pro and X being the catalyst.
There is no doubt Halo Infinite will be on Scarlet given Microsoft's dedication to backwards compatibility and I am sure they are taking advantage of that for the Slipspace engine.
No idea, but there is no way that Cortana will be a villain forever. If she's not back to normal and reunited with the Chief in Infinite, then that shot was a huge fake out, and I just don't believe 343 would do that (again, after faking Cortana's death in Halo 4).
I mean up close the visuals seem ok, but when things start moving like the Rhinos it starts to look really really strange. The motion and movement of the warthog also looks really strange which just brings me back to what 343 is
not so good at art direction and still no where near the basic movement and game play of the past games. I am not expecting much from this title.

Man, I really wish they'd just left Cortana dead at the end of Halo 4. Bringing her back just to be a villain was disappointing to me because I thought her death was a bold move that got reversed. Having her go back to being good after making her the villain would just be a continuation of that, imo.
Pretty weird they decided for Infinite instead of Halo 6. I thought this was some sort of prequel.
This is clearly an open world game. It's Microsoft monetizing the Halo franchise by trying to turn it into a Destiny style loot simulating hamster wheel of doom. Mark my words, the barbarians are at the gates of our wallets! We let them in!
Didn't Bonnie Ross confirm future Halo games would be split-screen during E3 2017?
There, found it. It was at DICE 2017 when she said that.

I've been saying this like forever, they needed a new engine and they finally created one. Thank goodness someone at 343i decided to put in the effort and Halo Infinite looks gorgeous.
Damn, the game looks absolutely stunning. The open area toward the end of the video definitely gave me a Halo 1 vibe, which is making me super excited.
Pretty happy to see that it's coming to PC too. I might have to finish Halo 4 now, I tried playing it back when it came out but I was too used to mouse and keyboard to play a FPS on a controller.

I think it could end up confusing some people, as it already has. It also felt like it was a more low key announcement than I would expect from a new mainline Halo.
