Actually Infinite is the start of a new saga. It's still a sequel to 5 though.

What would be the best way to watch the XGS video without being spoiled? It starts at 1am for me... I would have stayed up for this years ago, but with young children now, sleep is precious.
Is there a URL I can open before going to bed and then just refresh when I wake up?
That's unfortunate, I find matches pretty quickly on Xbox, even when playing in worst time zone.
By urban, you mean human? Some of the best maps in the series are Forerunner (Sancturary, Lockout), as well as the aforementioned Covenant Midship. A Halo game with only Human maps would be a letdown honestly, if I wanted an "urban" game, there's a plethora of alternative FPSes for that.
And yes, (default, vanilla) H3 feels terrible. I'm surprised at the love it gets today, but maybe it's just because of the echo chamber where I was in in 2007, where the base game was accepted as a step down from base CE and 2. MLG settings (increased base speed and damage—to counter BR spread; decreased shield regen speed) made the game a lot more fun IMO, but since those settings aren't available in MCC Social Slayer I just stick to CE/2/2A mainly... I do miss The Pit, Construct, Guardian, Narrows... but everytime I add H3 to the playlist to scratch that itch I get something like Orbital instead :(

Anyone else weirdly excited to see someone mod Halo 4 and 5 with Chiefs new armor once Infinite is out? I'm genuinely interested in seeing some of the cutscenes from 4 & 5 with the new armor... oh wait, aren't some of the cutscenes in 4 & 5 prerendered/videos? Well at least the ingame ones I'd like to see the armor switched... you know someone will do it.
Im not saying make it exclusively just urban maps, I just dislike the ones that are like super alien or super weird looking. Im also not talking about maps like Guardian, Pit and all those maps. They do the sci fi setting good. I think I just really hate Heretic and maps that look like it. Halo CE has a couple maps that are mazes of generic sci-fi walls.
Im really trying to enjoy Halo 3 but I just cant get into the maps and the BR. It sucks. Reach DMR, Halo 2 BR both feel so much better. I cant believe people cant imagine a game without sprint when Halo 2 feels super fast paced without it. The maps I've played in H2 are so frantic but feel really fun. Sprint on maps like this would surely be awful.
But I guess it just comes down to how they design the maps and if its with sprint in mind then I guess that's something Ill get over.
I hate maps like Construct (classic generic sci fi walls everywhere. Like what even is this supposed to be?), Isolation, Narrows, Valhalla (nowhere near as good as Blood Gulch), Heretic. Feels like the gameplay really wears me out on these maps because of all the stalemate shootout.
Also, I know its part of the game, but man do I hate the grenade spam. I dont know how I dealt with it in Halo CE when that game gives you 4 each. Presumably movements like thrust helps combat the spamminess of grenades. I wish I could play H5 because it looks interesting
Excited to see what they are doing with Forge. Expecting this to be a video later after the reveal of Infinite, since it's generally not interesting to the majority of players.
I wonder if they will finally make it a PC focused app, so we can have finer controls and then access on Xbox or PC to test.

Forge is related to PvP right, and the reveal will focus only on the campaign as far as I understand.
So we going to get a Halo leak before Thursday or what? Everything has been airtight so far, I think something will leak before the show though.
That was either the worst leak ever or the best depending on who you talk to lol
I hope we don't get a leak, It's exciting to go in like this.
Similar problem for me. My hope is that the OT will add a link for people like us once it's available and I'll just be able to refresh the thread, click on the link and be on my way. I really, really don't want to get spoiled. I literally won't be able to open Google, Gaming side, or YouTube until I've seen the showcase as there's gonna be images everywhere.
If you do find a solution, please let me know!
It's pre-recorded I would imagine, so you're probably right.
Aren't press playing it early for previews though? Could leak like that.
I wouldn't know, I was specifically talking about the show content t
As excited and ready I am to finally see Halo Infinite gameplay, I sincerely hope nothing leaks -- not even a text description. Nothing leaked on both E3 2018 and 2019 and both trailers were something really special. The team at 343 deserve to have their special moment to show us Halo Infinite in the format and venue that they prepared for us.
Yeah, this would be great. I don't design Forge maps at all but being able to make them on the PC version (or through the Infinite Forge app) would make things so much quicker.
I'm anxious the footage will leak tbh. A few separate insiders have alluded to seeing the same campaign footage - likely the very demo we'll be seeing on Thurs - so it's potentially floating around somewhere.
Didn't the name leak on 4chan or something before E3 2018?
Technically not since they got it wrong (they leaked the title Halo: Infinity), but yeah. Only that has leaked in these five years of development. That is pretty impressive.
That would be great, a full physics sandbox. Attached it to a hunter and drag it off a cliff 🤣
I really, really hope they dial up the physics shenanigans for this game. Halo 3 was really nice already and two gens later this has the potential to be insane.
Speaking about physics. This video is a nice watch:
Unless you take too long and the Hunter pulls on the cable, throws you and the Warthog in the air and then smacks it onto the ground.

Looks like a new clip this.
Different background to the E3 trailer last year. You can see the HUD loading in top and bottom almost like it's about to go into gameplay. 🤔

Hali Wars 1 cutscenes are amazing as well. If you enjoyed the ones in 2 you should read a synopsis of the first one and watch the cutscenes on YouTube.
Removed the loop and zoomed in on the text: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/659346158237384707/734730785487061022/Teaser_Zoomed.mp4
Sprint should be an upgrade that you have to find on the multiplayer map, only 1 on map, you lose it when you die etc
I didn't watch the entire thing, but he seems to be missing the possibility that everything he listed could be just a hand-made effect rather than something created by a physics simulation. Not very convincing evidence.

Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor System // GENERATION III
Key: K4M2R.3QTYY.2XMRH.KFWDX.JQQCZ
Many references to VISR. (Visor)
"Preparing intrusion countermeasures"
Genrerally seems identical to the Discover Hope trailer from E3 - except it's blue now not green.

The text appears to be the exact same as was in the E3 trailer from 2019, except it's blue now.
Edit: I just went through frame by frame and it's definitely all the same.

That sounds 1000 times more annoying than everyone having sprint. I prefer power weapons being the only map pickups while everyone has the same moveset.
I mean sure, but the point of the video was to speculate about physics and DF talked about it too in their Discover Hope analysis.
It's 2561 in one frame and 2559 in the next one. Kinda weird.
I hope the shield bar isn't that thin, I like them having some girth. I would also be really sad to see the Halo 5 health bar go away, it was really nice to finally see how much health you had in a non health pack Halo.
