What do you want from Halo Infinite?
- Thread starter Proven
- Start date
I want it to be somewhere between Halo 2 and Halo 3 in gameplay but with better graphics. The beauty of Halo is in its simplicity. You can shoot your gun, you can throw grenades, and you can melee-attack with your weapon.
To blow me away again with an awesome campaign taking place in different locations both outdoors and indoors, new enemies, great visuals. At this point I'm just taking the wait and see approach, because that E3 trailer did nothing for me, honestly only confused me more after 5's ending.
So my hype level isn't there yet. Which is OK.

I'm hoping for the largest environments and battles in series history.
MCC and Halo 5 all work, so I'm happy for them to do whatever else they want. Change it up as much as you want gameplay wise, 343. Just make it good.
Focus on action. Drop attempts at deep emotion. Halo won't make me cry and it shouldn't try to. (Then I'll be surprised when it actually does)

Oh god where to even start
I just want them to remove sprint and build off the pillars that made CE so great
I just want them to remove sprint and build off the pillars that made CE so great
- the return of the Covenant and the Prophets (+Engineers, Drones, Brutes)
- Scarabs fights and surprise Scarabs orbital drops like in Halo 3
- Atriox
- Mendicant Bias
- evil Cortana, Fireteam Osiris (excepting Buck), Prometheans, Spartans-IV and Palmer need to go ASAP. Only reason I would like the Prometheans and evil Cortana to be in Halo Infinite is if they decide to bring back the Didact
- squad system from Halo 5 needs to go too. I want 117 to be alone, sometimes helped by Marines (HCE/H2) or the Arbiter (H3).
- more Forge goodness

After 5 years, the absolute bare minimum Halo Infinite needs is literally almost every mode that ever touched Halo at launch.
This includes every game mode in multiplayer that were series staples before Halo 5 such as Assault, KotH, Oddball, etc.
The MCC Par Times
Classic Firefight
Pretty much everything. There is no excuse for any less and I see no way to defend Infinite if it has less content AT LAUNCH on Project Scarlett in 2020 than Reach did on the Xbox 360 in 2010.
Also I don't want to see a single "Remix" map in my life again. Definitive evidence of Halo 5's rushed and crunched development.

How about Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer, with more stuff?
How? Halo Reach is still the bar for launch content, and Infinite has 5 years compared to Reach's 3. You want another Halo 5?
I enjoyed Halo 5 quite a bit. The campaign could have used some work.
What does that have to do with Halo 5's pitiful launch content?
DMR needs to return
CHILL OUT WITH THE PROMETHEANS
Co-op online matchmaking
Split-screen (already confirmed)
Firefight / Spartan Ops (preferably Firefight)
AMAZING menu/UIs (343i is terrible at designing this, Reach on PC is meh)
Rewarding, engaging progression system (again, Reach's 'new' progression system is absolutely awful)
Balance PVE properly (Warzone Firefight in Halo 5 is just...insane at times)
Bring back sense of heroism from MC/Spartans
More Covenant (they're very fun to fight)
New-ish Spartan abilities?

A good campaign would be great. A multiplayer suite that doesn't exclusively cater to sweaty e-Sports players would be great, too. Good maps would be wonderful.
Fixed that for you. Put some damn respect on Halo 4.
Halo 5 but with good/memorable maps.
but with double jumps a la titanfall.
And keep the Thruster pack.
Weakened ground pound. (Direct hit, no splash damage)
Remove spartan charge.
Wallrunning/jumping (kidding...unless?)
Sprint I'm ambivalent towards. I'd prefer it, but most maps have those huge empty spaces so I can see why people hate it and if it gets people to stop whining about it I'm for it. But good maps CAN be designed with sprint in mind. It's just clearly much harder.

Wide linear map design (if its open world then prefer more segmented areas that are interconnected), return to the sandbox style focus of CE and the superior enemy squad AI.
The ultimate dream would be a legit full sized Halo ring with a more refined procedurally generated algorithm than we've seen before so you actually have varied enemy and ally bases, underground areas, and also varied terrain/biomes and weather conditions (snow in mountains, desert, forest etc).
On that note drop pods that shoot you onto the ring from orbit Planetside style would really sell the whole seamless ring experience.
This is approaching more full Planetside territory now with base gameplay loop but a mp mode that utilizes larger region capturing on the ring with players being able to choose from all the alien races, all vying for control.
How about some orbital strikes thrown in too for good measure. Maybe this isn't Halo anymore :P

H4 got the story right. I know some people didn't like it for being too convoluted when it came to lore, but overall it was good. The problem was the gameplay. They went away from the sandbox open type of level design and went with more CoD linear set piece battles. Plus they had bullet spongey Prometheans, easily the worst enemies in the franchise
H5 the dropped the ball on the story, but the level design and encounters were much improved over H4.
I'm not even going to talk about multiplayer because H4 was trash fire dumpster material.
I still expect the game to be set on an entire Halo ring almost fully playable. Seems like it could be done by such a large team with 5 years of dev time, while still being something super impressive.
I'm fully on board with such an idea, I just hope the "Epic battles" aspect Is still there. My favorite missions are still The Ark and The Covenant from Halo 3.

I've never been a big halo fan, while I enjoyed playing through the 1st one the franchise never had the set pieces, interactivity like games like half life 2, call of duty, Bioshocks etc
However halo 5 is quite refreshing when most shooters these days have grown stale. I like the enemy variety in halo 5, plus it feels and looks great on the 1X, the environments are more rich too, the plot is like a pretty decent sci fi TV show. So I'm liking halo 5.
For me halo infinite does not need huge improvements as 5 is already very good, but I would like sandbox style levels, the sense of visiting an alien world with a detailed wildlife and ecosystem. Maybe more gameplay situations, Halo purists just like the shooting but for me I like games to more dynamic, they don't have to be just one thing, so maybe some puzzles or set pieces.

I want boss battles that are not spammed at us repetitively. One warden fight is good. Now let us fight someone else.
There's a lot I want from Halo: Infinite and I have faith that 343 will deliver a great game.
1. Great multiplayer maps (new and some old classics)
2. No forged maps in rotation unless there's a community week featuring some maps.
3. 4k/60fps (or higher)
4. Keep Halo 5's multiplayer, IMO 343 nailed it with MP (besides the maps, they could've been better)
5. Halo 5 style Forge Day 1 with file sharing/custom browser. (Include a updated Forge Island from Reach with a high budget)..
6. Daily/Weekly/Monthly objectives/bounties + clans
7. REQ system can stay for cosmetics, but basic perma unlocks should be available by simply leveling up. (DMR, BR, etc)
8. Halo Reach customization system
9. Firefight
10. A mind blowing campaign focused on Master Chief
11. Unlock armor by completing certain achievements in Halo MCC. They did this with Halo 5 (Beat all campaigns in Legendary to get an armor set, I'd love for them to do it again with other achievements or finishing certain objectives.
Unrealistic stuff that I'd wish for
1. A Halo variation of Destiny's Gambit
2. Re-make every single MP map made for each game.
3. Mod support
Did you play Halo 4? Considering it was developed for the Xbox 360, that game looked really good. Also, Halo 2: Anniversary in 4k looks insane.

This 100%
Also, I'm guessing halo infinite is aiming for
X1S 1080p 60fps
X1x 4k 60fps
So scarlett could be 4k 120fps, but I hope not as the difference between 60fps and 120fps is hardly noticeable.

I'd love to be wrong and hope 343 knocks it out of the park. Here's hoping!
Dynamic battles against big robots like the fight against two scarabs in Halo 3.
Also huge ships landing on surface.

Fun missions with open/linear levels with multiple paths to take. More weapons variety in the campaign with maybe the ability to add mods and shit. I'm not the MP specialist so I won't talk about that haha.
I still remember how excited I was during the first Warden fight and how accomplished my buddy and I felt beating him on legendary.
By the final one I wanted to break my Xbox and give up.
