Was watching Doc and Timmy play yesterday, looks fun. If the streamers play the game will be massive. MS should pay off whoever they can to ensure Halo MP is a Must Play... (it unfortunate but that's how you make people want to play!)

Throwing money at it isnt the answer as proof bringing Ninja to Mixer didnt move the needle and sure wasnt for 50 mil (or whatever the exact number was)

The answer is making it fun and make those streamers want to play it.

I think this game has that chance to be a monster

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

This game feels like butter and looks about a bit better than Modern Warfare 2019. It’s going to be a big hit no matter how you look at it. Only thing I wish was Coop at launch.

 

[DrumNBassDanTTV]

Tech preview for the campaign i hope.

Huh? no such thing lad.

 

[DrumNBassDanTTV]

I was told I was selected, but I haven't gotten my download email....what's up with that?

goto the waypoint website, sign in and look at messages, you get a steam key or xbox insider app on console.

I think with all the cheating and people seeming to genuinely grow tired of COD, Infinite definitely has a chance to do something special looking and playing as good as it does.

 

[Codes 208]

My main complaint is more subjective at this point. Im realizing that im not as good at this halo as the others (yet) and i keep going up against the sweatiest of try-hards.

i definitely prefer btb over 4v4

 

[YukiOnna]

I learned to use the radar and got infinite(lol)ly better at the game. I know I'm not going to be better in the 1v1 if they're good, so it helped a lot to get the upper hand lmao

4v4 is indeed intense though.

 

[Mr.ODST]

Wait ... is the test today going over control modes? the sound on capturing or losing a zone sounds so good

Yeah today is CTF and Stronghold. Tomorrow, as well IIRC.

 

[funkygunther]

Playing a bit more and I'm enjoying the pace and the flow of the combat and maps. Could do with a double jump though!

 

[funkygunther]

Kids these days have no idea how to play CTF, that is at least one of you camps near the enemy flag spawn point to grab it again soon as you score

I want them to take out clamber and replace it with a double jump. I have been saying this since forever, as a double jump would serve the same purpose but it doesn't slow down the game.

clamber is a shitty mechanic in Halo... I hate it with passion

I figured it out. I played a bunch yesterday. Thanks.

 

[Ozriel]

but not imagining it will be a few months, more like few weeks, it still feels like it needs just a bit more time.

more time, as in the two and a half months we have until full release?

I bought a Series S just for Infinite. Played the closed flight back then and decided to buy a console so I could enjoy this at 120fps. Runs really solid, a few stutters but not much.

I'm looking forward to a Halo game, first time since H3. It's been awhile

 

[01011001]

the textures are crazy high res I must say.

like, you can zoom into them and they're still sharp and all have parallax, there are no flat textures

Just had a game where I went 18 kills and 2 deaths and I picked the skewer up, God damn, what a weapon!

game just feels perfect.

 

[YukiOnna]

Now I remember why I was toxic in MCC, no one played the objective...

 

[Mr.ODST]

When everyone laughed at Halo's graphics only to find it now has probably the best texture work in the industry

 

[AJUMP23]

A good eye for detail.

Yea just quit a ctf match with a bunch of randoms just playing tdm.

When the other team has the entire half of their Bazaar covered w/ escort and yours is just out there playing Slayer still...

Seriously, the sounds design .... in CTF was constant eargasms when flags were taken etc

 

[Caio]

Can't wait to see the Campaign as well, it appears 343i are doing their best to make all fans happy.
I hope there will be plenty of exploration and the best single player esperience ever in the series.

The sound design is GOAT. Also, the animations- I love when you apply the overshield.

 

[ManaByte]

I couldn't play last night due to setting up and transferring everything to my new phone, but OMG I can't wait to get on tonight. I have it installed and ready to go.

This is just blowing my mind right now because I've always been more interested in campaign. I'm only just now really, really beginning to like the idea of the MP. The training mode to me is the key. That's something I've always needed, and never just wanted to dive into Halo MP. I need to be able to practice some of these maps in my own time at my own pace.

 

[YukiOnna]

Grapple hook is FUN

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Love CTF.

And to think I was told very recently by a few people there is no hype for Halo.

Even the menu music is sublime.

 

[Naked Lunch]

The powering up and charging down sounds of Capturing Bases or Returning Flags are brilliant.

Im pretty happy with CTF here. It has a flag spotting mechanic but only for a short amount of time. Im guessing its their just to give people who dont play the objective or dont communicate just a bit of a nudge. Bazaar is a bit suspect of a CTF map becuase only the tunnel or middle of the map will be used for flag trails. No point in going overshield side with the flag - no entry into the bases there.

Last bit. Not a fan of really any of the new weapons. Only the classics seem to work for Halo. I hope classic shotgun is in there.

 

[Werewolfgrandma]

After watching a few highlights of gameplay this seems pretty fun.

 

[Caio]

I think with all the cheating and people seeming to genuinely grow tired of COD, Infinite definitely has a chance to do something special looking and playing as good as it does.

From what I have seen, the Game looks Next Gen, and the Campaign will look even better. I'm happy people, excited and cannot wait anymore to see more. Seriously, I have a big smile on my face now

 

[jezhumphrey75]

games dont have to be good or bad to be popular on twitch, if its drops off soon after release it wont be the games fault.

 

[VAVA Mk2]

The gaming world has changed since Halo 3, especially online.

Halo 4 MP wasn't good BTW.

No one disagrees with Halo 4 MP sucking. It tried to copy CoD hard and the player population died fast. That's what we get for having Josh Holmes, who wasn't a Halo player before and developed titles like NFL Street, work on the first Halo after it left Bungie.

 

[VAVA Mk2]

Any changes to the flight test from the first? Have yet to play it unfortunately.

Player outlines and shields much easier to see and tell when a player's shield is down. AR feels worse somehow. Needler feels better and sounds more close to a Needler and you can actually see the rounds fired from the gun.

 

[Concern]

Im terrible about using any equipment. Im completely oblivious to it.

The campaign will be epic. So epic they are confident the can sell it by itself.
