Halo Infinite Campaign Gameplay: 5 Minutes of 'The Conservatory' Mission
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Looks nice visually. Content-wise, 80% of this is just a combat arena, it's not the most dynamic 5 minutes in the world
Nice, it looks like a classic Halo mission, that should make a lot of people happy. Graphics also continue to please me.
Pls IGN. I beg of you. Please stop doing to footage whatever it is you keep doing to it to make it look this degraded. It's the game footage version of a hyper-compressed Facebook boomer meme.
Been told that Halo is way more about the feel than anything else. The campaign reveal and this footage doesn't look particularly exciting at all. But as someone who's never played Halo I guess I won't understand the appeal just by watching videos. Looking forward to giving this a go
Not setting the world on fire graphically but looking like Halo, which is awesome. Really curious about the story and the bits teased in this.
Destiny has way better environments than this game, so I don't agree. Maps in Infinite in particular are so unremarkable.
Eh, level design is not exciting but the weapons & story look cool. I don't really like the flying enemies (Skimmers?) but the Brutes look fun to fight. Level design looks a lot like the inside levels from Halo 1 which were honestly the least exciting parts of the game. I would much prefer a bombastic outdoor section with vehicles, friendly AIs and more dynamic gameplay if they're going to keep it to 5 minutes.
Chief's been through some shit over the years. Wasn't taking
too well. Not used to him showing tons of emotion.
Cortana The Weapon to do something and survive" are pretty frantic in Halo games.
the death of that other Spartan
All of the IGN gameplay has been quite bland, it's mostly how you play it. Like comparing their multiplayer footage to what I'm seeing in the game is on another planet, and I'm not even that good. They're not using the toolbox too much. But also this one it did seem like the difficulty may be set low. Usually these "wait for

Interesting that the new AI is still voiced by Jen Taylor. Gives it the Cortana feel while still making sense story-wise.
I have seen enough to know what it plays like. I'm not going to spoil the fun when it's just a few weeks away.
I just want it now.
Excited to see how they use the no cuts / one camera perspective throughout the whole of the game.

The skimmers look really satisfying to fight. Hitting their jets make them fly off and explode lol.
Gunplay looks good but man are the areas bland, got a bit old spooky at the end with the music and fallen Spartan which was good and Halo of old but were is the awe, depth like underneath Silent Cartograper, maybe they are keeping some surprises back in the footage shown. At least you can see under the floor I suppose.
Really love the interaction between Chief and the new AI already. Gives me OG trilogy vibes. Bring on December 8th!
This looks very much like a reimagined Cartographer-esque interior, or at least Halo 1 in general. 'Bland' is Halo CE, but christ if it ain't been praised to high heaven ever since, and then 343 produce a return to that style and it's 'eh, it's not like Halo 1'.
The 'awe, depth' isn't there because you're comparing 5 minutes of Normal difficulty gameplay with 20 years of sanctification of a level from Halo CE, imo.
Use LT to swap firing modes. Vertical for enemies, horizontal for vehicles is usually the go to!
I mean in the level design, it may open up later in the level but you know the shafts, the drop, it was pretty spectacular. Like I said they are maybe holding back. I get Halo has it's boring corridors like this, that's fine to a point if it goes somewhere.
Can we not grapple hook across a huge shaft, bit of creative level design, something with a bit of tension and variety. Not asking for the moon here. Think of places you couldn't really get to in Halo CE or could doing tricks and stuff but apply it more broadly to get in the depths of these places with new abilities, a Halo building itself, can we not play on that with moving pieces. Hoping there is stuff like that, haven't see much.
Also the fact that it's five minutes completely out of context with what happens before and after what we just watched.
It definitely has the same mechanic of press a button, room floods with enemies while you wait for the thing you pressed the button for to do. That's pretty much 80 percent of Destiny.
They nailed the weapon sounds. I can't wait.
Nah, Destiny looks (and plays) better. It has a far more sophisticated art style and enemy design. Halo just looks like action figures fighting each other. _I am not even disliking Halo's art style, but it always felt like that to me.
Why does the gameplay feel so slow in the video? Multiplayer feels much faster paced.
i'm not sure why they chose to take this 5 minutes, but the bulk of it was spent in just that one section at the beginning that they really should have cut short.
You didn't expect the 7th entry in a series to have elements in common with older entries?

I'm looking forward to this but there's something about the footage to date that just looks a little sterile and soulless? Hopefully won't be the case for the full game.
How do you show soul in a out of context 5
min gameplay footage.
edit: also this has to be easy or normal difficulty
IGN has been awful at showing the game, from how they've presented it to the gameplay itself (thought their article was pretty good at least). This is why outlets are usually given b-roll to use in videos like this. This is just an out of context small encounter in low difficulty, with who knows what happened before or after, and they use the grapple like twice in the whole thing. I mean if people wanna play like that it's cool but it's not how you show off a game. Try multiplayer for yourself right now if you wanna know how it plays.
Maybe game informer will have some better stuff because ugh.
Not the most thrilling set piece I've ever seen, but a couple of interesting story things going on.
Destiny 2 interiors are probably some of the best in the sci-fi biz so it's hard to compare buttttt I do think they're superior to what we've seen so far in Infinite unfortunately. The latter is nice and clean, but Destiny's lighting especially blows Infinite out the water.

I'm talking aesthetically. And we've had more than 5 minutes of footage.
