Halo Infinite | Multiplayer E3 2021 Overview
- Thread starter FarSight XR-20
- Start date
- News
I like that they have additional information on this and Starfield tomorrow. I wish they could also talk about Contraband and Redfall as well tomorrow. I expect to see something on HB2 by the end of the year and then maybe something else at the TGAs.
Here's hoping they delve deep into armor customization, new equipment such as the wrist attachment that deflected a charged plasma pistol shot back at the attacker, new and returning vehicles, such as that Razorback Warthog that we've seen concept art of.
theres a blogpost later this month that will also talk about customization. Those are usually very indepth, so I imagine we'll see quite a bit there.
Regardless of how people feel about the fidelity of the graphics, I gotta say this is the best lighting we've ever seen in a Halo title by far. Really excited that our personalized Spartans are going to shine in team based multiplayer, no longer forced to be entirely red or blue.
Compared with Halo 5:
"To fully support our goals for expanded player expression in Halo Infinite the team has designed a new "friend and foe" system for multiplayer games. At a high level, this functions as an "outline" system that uses different colors to denote friends and foes. These colors are configurable for accessibility purposes and whatever colors you assign will match your scoreboard, team bases, and team flags. This isn't depicted in the reveal trailer, due to its more cinematic nature, but we'll have more details to share down the road (and Halo Insiders will be able to check it out first-hand during technical previews later this summer)."
AKA No more Red vs Blue in multiplayer. IMO this is good

Red and blue coloring on armor is no big deal. They will still have red and blue for the teams in UI and on the flag and base banners.

Yea this is great news. Being able to customize your armor colour and have it actually show up in game is so important for a game like this.
If not at launch I'm sure it will come eventually since they plan to support the game for 10 years. Plus with bots being added to multiplayer I guess they've worked out the kinks with AI pathfinding with forge maps, meaning we could see firefight forge maps.
This is going to be my multiplayer game for a LONG time when it drops at the end of this year.
I honestly thought it was going to be Battlefield 2042, but the value proposition just isn't there.
I think Halo Infinite multiplayer has the potential to be HUGE. Free to play, no barriers to entry, cross-play/cross-progression between Xbox and PC… can't wait!

FYI , this is 12 minutes long based on YouTube metadata.

beta is later this summer. you can sign up for the halo insider program to hopefully get in
I wonder if we'll see something like:
- 900p/60fps for the base Xbox One (I'd have to imagine with a bunch of lowered settings as well)
- 1440p/60fps on One X
- 900p/120fps or 1440p/60fps on Series S
- 1440p/120fps or 2160p/60fps on Series X
Just curious to see how this plays out from a resolution/performance standpoint.
I do hope they give us a kick off flighting date sooner rather than later - even if it's limited to press/streamers/pros and ams to begin with. I'm tired of the vague "later this summer" nonsense.

Probably the only game left for 2021 that I'm genuinely pumped for (unless Nintendo has surprises for us).
Just want a classic BTB feel, please.
Literally all I want is a great playlist and map setup for objective-based (CTF, Bomb) Big Team Battle. That's it.
