It feels so bizarre to think that this game was supposed to release last november. The delay was the right call and all, but it still feels like the game is years out at this point.

343i will be doing monthly updates on Halo Infinite (new info this week!)

Oh my bad, got my wires crossed.
I just want them to focus on making the game, not having to provide a monthly update.
I really want this game to succeed. A few friends of mine have recently gotten back onto the Halo multiplayer train with MCC and it's been incredibly fun to revisit a lot of these maps and gametypes from a decade ago. Personally hope we'll see confirmation of that "super big team battle" mode that was rumored a little while back.
Here's something else to look forward too. It's from yesterdays Cannon Fodder post:
The competetive community is also awaiting the new "Designing the Halo esports ecosystem" blog post, which was announced in the Holiday Blog post and is supposed to go live in January:
Both of these aren't exactly indicating big Infinite updates, but at least there are updates about several aspects of the game.
I'm really curious if a Vidoc or The Sprint series even exists. Most of it would probably be pre-Covid, I imagine.
Been confirmed several times that they won't.
They can easily do both, especially if their community managers aren't occupied with something else.

Nice, forgot about the esports update! I'm hugely excited for that to begin and all the drama around roster/org changes. Hopefully there could even be some "pre-season" tournaments during flighting too (in addition to the obvious twitch scrims - god I can't wait to have literally nightly halo to watch!)
Hopefully we get new MCC news as well. I'm waiting on Custom game browser, Halo Online maps, Mod support and more!
I'm waiting for Campaign/Spartan OPS matchmaking, as I can't always get the people I need for Legendary runs.

INSIDE INFINITE ā JANUARY 2021
<p>Hey everyone ā ske7ch here wishing you a belated Happy New Year and welcoming you to the first āInside Infiniteā of 2021! Before we dive in, I want to take a moment to share our plans for the next few months and our commitment to our community. Following last monthās update, the start of the...
First read of this and I got stressed this was related to making Infinite a live service game, this industry has poisoned my brain and I hate it.
That concept art appears to support the theory that the hexagonal columns are the substructure of the landscape, made visible by damage to the ring. You can see them lining the inside of that massive crack in the landscape.
$10 says the explanation for the above-ground columns is going to be that they are a remnant of ages ago when Zeta Halo shed a bunch of damaged segments and shrank in size as a result. Those pieces of landscape didn't "fit" together seamlessly, hence the pillars being visible in those places.
It's possible we could also see reconfiguration of the ring in real-time within the game, as it repairs itself from whatever happened to it that we've seen in the trailers.

I can't wait to play this.
They've been sure to include mentions about the improvement to the lighting and overall look of the game in back to back months, I expect this is something that will come together in a big way in time for E3.
These are the highlights of the update for me. Seems like a big focus in Infinite is more unique identity and use cases between different weapons and vehicles, and that's awesome.
Damage types was one of the feature sets that the weapons team decided to really go after. We felt that in order to achieve stronger weapon identity than previous titles, having another category of attributes that we can fold into our designs creates a stronger choice for players... Players should now have stronger choices presented to them... In addition to further clarity and purpose to the legacy damage types ā i.e. kinetic and plasma ā the team has also been pursuing new surprises for players that we're eager to talk about in the months ahead
Going over an area covered in rocky crags and fallen trees? The Warthog with its high ride height and large tires will eat it up. Going over a flat marsh covered with pockets of water? The antigrav of the Ghost will let you smoothly boost through it. Stuck in a canyon trying to get to a base? The Banshee makes it a quick up-and-over.
That stuff sounds fantastic.
Although I'm still hesitant about that new shotgun. Contrary to the above points, it sounds like it's been watered down and made more similar to the other weapons. The shotgun in halo is a beloved classic and I'm very hesitant to embrace this change. Are the days of hiding by the flag with a shotty dead? I definitely need more convincing but I'm open to being convinced.

btw who is hyped for the flame thrower hog? They were very obvious with this lol
That's from Halo Wars. Since it's a RTS the silhouette has to be exaggerated with those giant gas tanks so I doubt it'll look like that if it's indeed in Infinite but maybe something with the same idea.
I had no idea. I thought it was concept art for infinite. Halo just has a dope artstyle. Well, I didn't care for 4/5's aesthetic.
