OMG, my wife is having a Zoom work meeting (she still works while I'm a retired bum playing video games) and she just asked me if I was downloading something because her stream was all choppy. I briefly debated lying, but reconsidered.

So my download is now paused while I wait for her meeting to end! 😩

Fuck, i have to wait 30 Minutes, look like I will play after UCL.

But holy shit the Jason news, 2/3 of content cut ? And the game is still massive like that ? Without the tools issue this game was going to be a really massive.

Halo is dead, right? Meanwhile while I look at my xbox friends list.. "Halo: Infinite - Campaign"; even from some people I haven't seen online in ages.

Played the first few missions, seems like some pretty solid Halo-ing. Off to a good start.

It's even more than that, lol.

Curtis Schweitzer, Joel Corelitz, yours truly - Campaign

Eternal Time and Space, Alex Bhore, Joel Corelitz - Multiplayer.

Have fun playing/listening!
Loving the soundtrack! You guys did a great job with the mix and build ups in the campaign in the 3ish hours I've been able to play and I can't wait to experience more of it in game!

Oh lawd, this is sooooo good. Nothing beats becoming Master Chief again.

Heroic is the way to go for me I think. Forces you to fight smart, and cut your losses and retreat to let shields recharge. Not dying too much that it has become frustrating at all….yet. It's also going to make the campaign last longer too. I can already tell I don't want it to end.

The gameplay just feels amazing. I'm extremely happy right now. 😊

edit: and of course THE MUSIC. One of the key pillars of making the Halo Formula sing. 🎵 Even early in the game the music has given me chills.

Devs are having some problems with QR. There should be an option to disable because it seems to effect games even if you quit out of them sometimes.

I remember quitting Horizon 5 and yet the next time I booted it up, the Quick Resume logo was there and the fp I had been gifted in the last session disappeared.

Just played 4 hours straight without stopping or even getting out of my chair. Just STRAIGHT Halo.

I'm in love so far.

OMG dude thanks for stopping by this thread! I don't know what pieces are yours or if they are all partly yours but the music has been BEYOND phenomenal. Just dynamite work. I can't say enough good things about it so I'll just say thanks.

It's kinda surreal that almost 2 years ago we had the infamous Halo Infinite Grappling Hook Leak - which was met with an enormous amount of skepticism, frustration (i.e. doubling down on non-traditional 'advanced mobility' mechanics and chasing trends), "How does a 500kg super soldier use a wrist-mounted grapple?" lore-queries, and Frankie's faux-denial of its legitimacy.

Now I'd argue it's one of Infinite's most defining and enjoyable mechanics - tantamount to GoW's Leviathan Axe even -, and frankly I don't want a future Halo Campaign without it. It's such an amazing addition to the physics-based sandbox. Grappling a fusion core only to hurl it at an enemy is just sooo good
