Amen. I will be awake at 1am AEST to watch the pre show and main event, then sleep another 2 hours then off to work.
The leak is still fake. Grappling hook is in as to my limited knowledge, but it’s more like an equipment pick-up similar to Halo 3. No idea how that is included in campaign.
My apologies if this is known already but searching "demo" in the store lets you download some of the Gamefest games.
So looks like this 4chan leak is true

I wonder if 343 will implement the mechanic where you jump onto the back of a Hunter. They showed this in that short movie Forward Unto Dawn and I've always wanted to see if it will work in the actual games.
And yet the waiting time is the same for all of us. :D
Btw How is it in the future ? Already having flying cars ? ^^
God I hope this implies equipment is back. Obviously it has little place in competitive arena, but as a mechanic in Halo 3's customs and casual/social modes, it brought so much variety to encounters, and really made the sandbox (particularly the physics-based elements) sing.
Warzone 2.0 with grappling hooks, bubble shields, deployable covers and grav lifts, trip mines, etc. sounds like wonderful wild chaos.
Halo Infinite Arena is all about going back to classic map control gameplay (power weapons and power-ups). There are a lot of cool map power-ups to complement the sandbox. Grapple hook, thrust or classics like overshield. All this is very dynamic and might vary heavily based on playlist etc., of course. But more on all that at a later date.
Maybe the hook is some kind of SSD showcase as what the warping in Ratched and Clank was.
Thrust and Sprint? Or is thrust a pickup?
Still has to work on One.
I hope it's like Spider-Man web slinging where you can quickly grapple places, like for example wall climb, and not just a one shot or your screwed.
It does but with severe pop in or a lot motion blur hiding it.
Thanks for the reply Klobrille - hadn't expected that. Prepare to have this post circulating everywhere ;)
Won't pry further, but wow, a lot to potentially take in and infer there. Thrust as a pick-up and not a native ability would be a surprise. Love the idea of them going wild with unique pickups to complement the maps. If they could make equipment like grapplehooks, thrusters, or jetpacks as useful and critical to victory as power weapons, then that would be a very interesting direction.
Wait what. Is all of this for real?
I'd love for equipment to return actually as it opens up so many possibilities. Not sure how I feel about thrust being a pickup, but as long as it isn't gone entirely and stays in first person, I'll be ok.
Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy announced for PS4, Switch, and PC, coming this winter

Spencer: proud with the work we have done in Japan.
Japanese game company: release game on all platforms but Xbox right before their big show.
This is why I can't take Spencer seriously with anything Japan.
Note: I know Atelier isn't Xbox material but this happened with a lot of titles. Not targeting Atelier here just the general idea of Xbox always being ignored by Atlus, Falcom even with some Bandai titles.
Might be lost in all the Halo speculation, but thanks for the heads up!
Have installed a bunch of these demos to tinker with over the next few days. First, some SkateBird, then to check out Raji and Haven.
Thank you for the link, unfortunately they're coming up with "This series is currently not available for purchase" through the UK link now. Thanks again.
You’ve said all of this so might as well just say if sprint is in arena or not.
Thanks heaps. I've never seen this video before. That was a nice bit of nostalgia.
If this happened, I would run completely naked around my neighbourhood with a pint of beer in my hand shouting "Hallelujah!"
But you know...I'm a teacher so I don't want to lose my job :D
I already gave an answer to that months and weeks ago. People just aren’t listening.

This makes no sense. If Before 90% of Japanese games were set to skip Xbox and now just 30% do, that’s still progress worth celebrating. Still something to be proud of.
it’s a work in progress. You celebrate milestones, not just the end.
I remember you saying sprint should be expected for campaign with it’s big environments and all that. Unless you mean classic map control = no sprint.
Ah, I see you edited. Still hoped for multiplayer to get rid of it, oh well.
I was responding to somebody yesterday about how Doom Eternal was like a platformer in the guise of an FPS, with double jump and power ups, and no sprint. But when I think about it, that's sorta what Halo was in the beginning. It had power ups (invisibility and overshield). It had limited movement options - you had the default "run", crouch walk, and jump - with no sprint. I think a modern reinvention of the classic formula would be great. Just boost the base movement speed, and have mobility options like the grapple hook as well as the thrusters. As a Team Sprint guy myself, I could get on board with this idea.
I do think people will pretty fast realize that nothing is absolute in HI. The game will likely have the biggest player base a Halo game ever had, there is a lot of room for experiments and many playlist options, they are building systems to dynamically change/balance stuff and allow a diverse set of different multiplayer and Arena experiences, even more so when looking at the ridiculous options Forge will bring.
This and Captain Tsubasa are new games. I don't mind never seeing old Japanese games on Xbox because sometimes with older games, dev team moves on and you will need cash/port team to make it happen. Lot of effort for something that might sell nothing on Xbox (especially in the past with no game pass).
But new games outright skipping Xbox? It's infuriating. It's like back when I had a Windows Phone and big app devs treated my like an outcast for buying a different piece of plastic.
I appreciate the tidbits you gave us. It already sounds like a big improvement from H5.
I saw gameplay of Shadow Warrior 3 yesterday and it looks good! Especially the level design, it's linear but looks really good. This made me think of Halo Infinite and how I hope the rumors were true that it's semi open world. I would love some big open field battles ala Halo CE, but please have some linear parts as well in that campaign because I often highly prefer that over big open empty stuff all the time.
Halo 4 actually had a nice balance of this. Halo 5 could have used more open fields actually, haha.

I just hope in this case the new Forge is very flexible, or Slipspace allows much faster creation of maps.
If the game's base maps are designed around sprint, I can't see 343i making non-sprint Arena maps, but instead they'll give us Forge ones in playlist. User-made maps were always fun in the past Halo's, but a lot of time they would be really ugly or have some limitations.
But either way, I'm hyped.
Just not looking forward to being swallowed up by Sprint/No Sprint talks lol.
Been a long time since I’ve gotten chills from an image....but damn. I’m so freaking hype. Good lord have mercy.
I barely touched the surface. But yea, feedback noted. Nothing more from me. Promised.
