Hope you're wrong. It'd stop both technical advancement of the series and be a an awful way to tell a story. If we want something with frequent updates it can be MCC.

I think the tech advances as the game is based around SlipSpace.
Sea of Thieves is the template I think 343 follow. Graphical updates being a part as well
Not likely. But with the surface team working on next gen, and the way surface rolled out, I wouldn't mind lockhart being close if not equal to ps5 and anaconda basically being a PC, $600-700 range to start out.
But what if I've been playing investigative reporter and tracked down some really juicy possible acquisitions. Do we want to stop talking about "Possibilities" in this thread?
I think so, but it's on his latest podcast that the budget is very very high and they are investing a lot of money into it. Careers will be made or broken based off its success.
His podcast that went live this morning.
Also there should be a new trailer at E3 and there will be a battle royal mode but won't directly take from apex or fortnite. Will have it's own halo twist.
I could go for a mango flavored fruit snack. Let's have it! Spill the beans, you...
Hmmm this might deserve a new thread, Brad's record is pretty much spot on.
Their BR mode is probably going to heavily involve AI enemies imo. ODST Firefight with romain baddies (to get better weapons) just sounds fun
Been saying it for long, Halo is one of the existing FPS franchises where a BR made way too much sense for it not to happen. They already have big and "alive" battlefields in Halo 5. There's already the basics with the shields, the health packs, the weapons to pick up, the two-weapon system, the co-op modes, etc. to not have to take too much away from the Halo experience. It's gonna be good if true.

Forgot it's on YouTube. Was listening via overcast. Get Theorry to made the thread if it's worthy.

Isn't this an old quote? A few months is like a few years in Battle Royale time.
I hope they changed their mind, and I'm not alone in that.
$5 on "warzone" being the BR like mode. Sounds like it's not a direct copy of current trends with BR and will be a unique take on it. Also going by the podcast, he says it's in the "ball park" of $500 million if you round up
Thanks bro. This is going to be interesting. MS going all out. I imagine PG games and all other 1P must be working with huge budgets too.
I mean, hopefully not. Looks gorgeous of course, but it'd be a shame for MS first party to suffer the same pains as EA in that regard.
God I hope not. Unless they write the engine to be very very versatile that can sound different types of games...don't do that.
I feel like that's probably a given. I don't see why MS/343 would block other internal teams from using it, especially seeing how MS/Rare really wanted everyone to use their water tech.
Yup, just gives devs more freedom of choice by adding my choices out of the gate.
I think I had some winners in the past, but I'm not ready to put the new stuff out there.
It would be great if they all moved on to a single engine though, but ONLY if the new engine is not only powerful but also versatile, meaning not made just for halo games.
My personal reasoning for this is that one of the huge benefits is the ability to pull out engineers from different studios in order to work on critical projects, like the way EA pulled engineers from Bioware to work of FIFA when it was needed.
Now granted, this benefited FIFA and fucked Bioware something fierce, but from what I understand it was because Frostbite was an unwieldy mess, which is why I think that the design of the engine would play a critical role as to whether or not this type of scenario would be beneficial or detrimental to MS studios as a whole.
A Halo 'BR' that emphasises really big maps, vehicle battles, masses of AI threats etc could be really cool.
Just as long as it doesn't lose BTB and 4v4 :)
The only thing that would really work for that would possibly be Halo.
In another timeline, I could see a F2p Battle Royale based on Infinite's game-play being released as a separate game, potentially earlier, but not this timeline.
They've kind of eased off of the "Halo game every year" thing, and 343 is really taking their time with Infinite.
Doubt it, maybe for FPS only games it could be but the pains at BioWare shows that it is best to just let the studios choose what they are most comfortable with.
I clarified my statement as it would be another OPTION for devs to use, not required :)
it's not, Brad himself said the BR stuff is in early development and is part of the overall package
