Definitely the right move, I wonder if this was directly influenced by the negative reaction to the game play demo.

Are you kidding me????

I mean this is totally a good thing and Kudos to Microsoft for doing something I staunchly believed they wouldn't do. It was so obvious it needed a delay, and they did it. Pretty devastating blow to the launch lineup, and that leaves the question, what is the big Series X launch title?

Respect for the introspection. I hope this game turns out to be exactly what they want it and is straight fire.

Good luck 343 and Microsoft!

It's for the best. The game just didn't have a great showing, however you spin it, and the effects of the pandemic on development are clear to see.

With COVID times are tough for developers. I'm sure when this pops back up it is going to be looking better than ever.

Not to shocking, that reveal reaction must have sent shockwaves through the offices

Unbelievable really. Just a stunning development in an already clearly troubled development story.

The right choice. Hope they can raise the quality of the game to where it needs to be.

Not trying to start a fanboy war but what's the point in buying an Xbox series x/scarlet?
I was going to buy this for halo but now I'll just buy PS5
They also got bullied into making it look better, oof

Good Decision. Time to go back and redo the lighting with ray traced GI, and bring the visuals back to the e3 2018 showing by cancelling the current gen versions. No one playing on x1 and x1x should feel obligated to play this game on last gen consoles in 2021.

THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

Between that last blog post and this, kudos on 343 and MS for doing the right thing. It felt like impossibility due to launch windows, but there it is.

Wow I never saw this coming, but GG to Microsoft for not forcing it out as a launch title

What a let down. I understand they need more time for the game but it's been since 2015 that we got a mainline Halo game and that last one was disappointing. Now we are not getting the most anticipated game for the XSX in time for launch. It's just been a frustrating experience waiting and hoping the next Halo is going to come out soon and that it's going to be good.

I am legitimately surprised. I thought this was going to be like Halo: Master Chief Collection, which was shipped broken to make a deadline.

Honestly this is good news. Release Halo Infinite when it's done, not before.

Good news for the quality of the game.
But this is a huge loss for the launch of a new console.

Well..

- I'm kinda sad because i wanted to play the multiplayer portion in November
- I'm kinda happy because the game needs it.
- And holy shit this is a massive blow for the Series X release.

Could this mean that we can get something closer to this when the game is finally released?

If they pull that off I'm buying the console asap.

That is crazy. Honestly though good on Microsoft for doing that instead of releasing a sub-par product just to sell the new Xbox.

Ouch. That is really going to hurt Series X. Doubt I'll be getting one until at least Halo.

I am impressed they had the balls to delay it tbh. This will impact their console launch.
