I spent like a thousand hours in Reach multiplayer and enjoyed it more than any other Halo. *shrug*

Halo |OT2| Master Chief for Smash

This is truth
As a game, I did not like reach
But I had more fun in that game than any Halo ever, because of meeting now life long friends in it, forge, invasion, customs, etc
Edit: also I have this convinced myself that somehow I will have a waypoint message tmrw inviting me.
I'm not actually upset I didn't get in, like it's totally okay. But at the same time, don't say you sorted out by longest tenured insiders first and foremost and went from there, and then have people like myself and others here excluded. It just feels a bit disengenious. Super excited for everyone else to get hands on tho, I look forward to seeing my irl friends and your guys thoughts and footage

Bloom and Armor Abilities killed Reach for me. It's also slow. and the over-reliance on forge was obnoxious. I dont the mp in that game and the rerelease was a good reminder.
4 had a decent btb mode and the game distilled down to the basics, its not bad albeit a bit too... easy. the 4v4 maps stink.
I also put entirely too much time into both.

Commando seems really powerful. 6 shots to drain shields and then a headshot to kill.
But if you slow the playback on this video there is NOT a lot of aim assist. Maybe PC? Not sure.

Could just not be a lot of aim assist, which would be nice. Doesn't need to be Halo 5 level when there's less mobility options.
I think radar persists for a bit after the shot but I'm not sure.
Was he somehow firing the AR in semiautomatic for a second or two there?

I think that footage left a lot to be desired. I still feel like we are being given this middle ground no mans land where we took out all the deep technical shit that makes Halo 5 fun, but still kept enough basic mobility shit that stops us from having a classic Halo game as well.
Hopefully feeling it out in flight will make me feel better like eventually playing Strive did.

I've liked every mainline Halo eventually besides Halo Reach. This is the first Halo game I'm just not excited for. I do know they'll knock forge out of the park and I'm hoping we can recreate Halo 5 settings (sans Spartan Abilities like Ground Pound and Charge) in Forge as thruster/thruster-slides+all the changes Infinite is bringing would be the perfect Halo game.
Feathering it
But thats never really been worth it in other Halo's.
It was Jarrards gameplay so I took it with a grain of salt. He's better than a normal dev or journalist. Lots of AR usage, not a lot of pistol usage makes me worried. Seems we got confirmation social is AR and ranked is BR as well.
OP

Pistol is a 7 shot kill, not too bad for how fast it shoots. It'll be a decent cleanup weapon.
Literally every shot hit there, though. A perfect kill means optimal TTK, and with a gun that fires that slowly, missing a single shot makes your TTK nosedive.
Also...
This can't be Recon armor. Was this... made by the same designer who did the Mark V Alpha in Halo 5?
EDIT: Ok it is called the Trailblazer armor, I'm rewatching the technical preview now. I'm really excited for the armor customization in the full game. Still a bit sad they ditched the old color customization system for the armor coatings, and I don't recall seeing anything about emblems?

It is likely an updated version of 343's ugly ass version of Recon since Halo 4, just renamed and with a new look. Some sort of GEN2 thing or whatever. I still don't understand how the whole armor core shit works.
So, I've watched the full multiplayer match shown on the livestream, and while the E3 trailer felt perfect I do feel like this build feels different. Some effects are missing, some sounds aren't similar, and I don't really like the end result in gameplay. Everything feels so "mechanical", when Halo multiplayer has always felt "organic" to me.
Here are my thoughts in details, I'd love to see what some Halo fans think.
Hahaha, I actually posted here thinking you might see it. Thanks for the offer, but I ended up getting an invite yesterday so all's good.
I can't wait to try it out tomorrow.

That's because your Chief Editor was still writing more articles than you.
Joke aside, I might not be able to play during all those 4 days, I can lend you my account if you want to give the flight a try buddy. :)
And be patient, some of my French and Spanish friends just received their invitation 30 minutes ago, and don't forget sometimes they just share a notification with you on HaloWaypoint without having the email.

Yeah, my download speed is potato so I was hoping we'd get to download it in advance. Unfortunate.
I can't fucking stand these games as I am matched with teammates that I think are quite literally babies. Sometimes I watch them to see what they're doing and they're in fact running into walls and looking around like its baby's first day on planet Earth. Gee I didn't know I made it into the Halo Infinite flight because I'm surrounded by FUCKING BOTS.
Have been playing more CoD than halo recently as they just added CTF and its HORRIFIC watching teammates in that mode when you die.
Countless times I have got the flag close to home, and instead of picking it up and capping it, players will stand a hair distance away from it and not actually go get it. I have even had players pick it up and accidentally run it back to the enemy side.
I think I would take bots in my team over the randoms I often get lol.
A lot of armor variants will include a Gen 3 version (the revamped artstyle) with the original names - We've seen the scout and Recon helmets already. There are also going to be Gen 2 versions (Halo 4/5) with different names to help differentiate them from the "main" version of the permutations.
any game with an objective will have orangutans ignoring it, I have this experience in halo all the time
sometimes I have to take a break after I've walked the flag back to base like 4 times in a row and teammates failed to support as the entire enemy team descended upon me, and repeatedly refuse to walk the flag the final three feet
if bots play the objective then they're already better than at least 50% of human players
Hopefully you get a waypoint message, it's kinda trash seeing people who have played Halo for years not get in.
People who have played over a certain amount across all the Halo titles should get automatically invited. Don't see why people who played for 2 days when Reach launched on PC should get in.
To be fair, I have definitely missed some. Granted my Surface Pro 3 can barely launch MCC without an immediate crash, but I've tried.
Again, I can't be genuinely upset cause life is way more than a free bot test weekend. But like..
"Then we go by tenure, prioritizing longer standing Insiders and going down the list until we've hit our total audience size. "
🤔
I also am fortunate enough to have a "PC", series s, series x, one s and one x in my possession. So it's not lack of options.
A good friend of mine is going through a really difficult time and he is super stoked he got in, so if holding me out made it so he got in, then it's all worth it to me.

This can't keep happening to nilla. First, no maps in matchmaking. Next, everything else, including but not limited to Mk. V's disrespect. Now, this.
It ain't right. Take my spot Stinkles, give it to nilla.

I mean I skipped all the flights I was invited to and got in. My son uses my original account with 30K Halo matches on it across all titles and it didn't get invited, lol. It seems random, tbh.
I'm not saying their is a company wide conspiracy against
But I'm also not saying their isn't one
like I said tho, seems like almost all of my friends are in, and that makes me happy. Seems def weird I was omitted, but it's all good.
Aslong as I get in all future flights, early access and maps in matchmaking
Glad to read you're in buddy! We worked together for many years, but I don't think we ever played together online, so if you're up, we can have some fun on the Flight together, also, some old school HD might join me as well, so you're more than welcome.
Regarding your post, there's one thing I don't really like in Halo Infinite so far (well, both actually), one you mentioned here:
I really don't like what they have done with the Spartan shield.
First, I don't like they killed that beautiful yellow colour which we came to love for 20 years now, and changing the shield color depending on your team (which now will always be red or salmon I guess depending on my settings, might change it to yellow, thanks 343 for allowing use to customize this).
Second, I thought the feedback for how damaged the shield is was really visually poor.
In the last games, the shield was growing and getting brighter the more damage it was until it would pop off and have sparkles around the Spartan, so you would immediately understand at which level the shield currently is, when it is off and when you could aim for the head if you were aiming for the body to pop the shield off.
It was easy for you, and your teammate, to get this crucial information.
Now, the Spartan's shield seems way less visible, almost like the Elite shield from Halo CE Anniversary, and I hope that is something we can share feedback about and make them change that.
Finally watched that stream from yesterday. Ske7ch is such a pro. And a nerd. Durango? Really? lol.
I like most of what I saw. I'm still confused as to the point of sprint. It looks barely faster. I suppose to slide and stuff...
I noticed the new BR75 has a 2.5x scope. Does this mean the DMR is out? Usually BR has a 2x scope, right? Or am I misremembering...

Am i the only one who cant log in Halowaypoint? I wont be able to play the tech preview at this point.
Literally everyone took 12pm as gospel and now everyone is trying to get into Waypoint. Lol.
I got on and there is still nothing. Wait for official word.

I was literally just thinking about this gif and wondering if anyone will post it again. One of my crown jewel creations, along with this one after Halo 4 --Didn't get anything.
My personal favorite* --

Welp... i guess there isn't, but i think its better to be loged in in case they drop the flight and waypoint still doesn't work.
Also, a lot of people are spamming f5 trying to log in, so i guess its better for the server to be loged than doing that.
Ah I'm expecting the servers to time out before codes go out but its prob not a bad idea to get logged in and navigating around
Undoubtedly one of my all time favorites from our group.
I do miss the gaf days for media creation, we had so many talented people making funny gifs and memes.
