I think it's worth mentioning that they correctly called the bots and the 1st Season being based on Reach prior to both being confirmed by 343
Yes it's more like Warhawk. Halo 4 (and somewhat Reach) were more like CoD/Battlefront like you described but with this one, it's going back to the classic gameplay where you have to find weapons on the map, equal starts, etc.
sounds like you might be buying an xbox
Because I like big player count modes. They're fun to me.
The game clearly was not designed with huge Battlefield phylosophy in mind. Even the devs told us in extended overview, it is a make believe advanced Spartan training program. You even have your own AI. It's not 'everybody's Spartan, hop in and trash the party boys and girls'... no, just the chosen few.
I'm happy with 24 players but this comment has me scratching my head.
I really don't see how the lore of Halo is preventing a higher player count mode.
Sad to hear that whatever ambitious mode they were investigating for BTB/Warzone 2.0 was canned. BTB w/24 players is great, but I think most were hoping for something that'd really flex the next-gen tech in scope and scale, especially in a post ~100 player Fortnite/Battlefield/Warzone world.
I got an email from Halo Waypoint detailing the reveal for multiplayer. They shared an image of one of the coatings we saw throughout the last few days and I remembered a few folks pointed out the similarities to the classic GUNDAM color scheme.
It says on the bottom that the coating name is "Karaba Sirocco." Sirocco is an alternate spelling for "Scirocco," which is in the name of the main antagonist "Paptimus Scirocco" from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Thought it was pretty tight how they're going about this. Do you think we'll see other reference colors from other franchises in the game? I can easily see some Evangelion colors making it in at some point in time.
Not sure why that would matter since Warzone, Apex and Fortnite all work on Xbox One. Halo Infinite doesn't have to stay working on the Xbox One Hardware ….Xcloud exists
I don't think m4st4 is saying that the lore is a reason to not have a larger multiplayer mode, but rather that the lore used for the multiplayer mode is an indication/reflection that it is focused on a smaller scale.
Comparing what I said to Don Mattrick is dumb. Halo Infinite will 100% abandon Xbox One hardware at some point. The blueprint for what they are going with is Destiny. You're going to have multiple campaigns being added and new multiplayers seasons will bring NEW lore that can expand to bigger experiences.
I dont think that will happen with how xbox is all about playing this game crossplay etc
I dunno. Maybe they make something like that a post launch mode to make it more palatable.
Thanks! Indeed, I most likely am buying an Xbox and joining the party.
I feel I understood them. Even still, I don't think it would be a farfetched in-universe justification for 343i to simply have the UNSC say "Righto recruits, we need to do some huge war simulations, so buckle up it's 30v30".
Because its fun. I play BTB for the clownshow, and i say this as a competitive player.
Halo Wars has shown us that Halo makes perfect sense in large scale battles in addition to it's tight fights, I hope they create something either large scale or battle royale-esque, even if not at launch.
Nope. Small scale Halo has always sucked, Blood Gulch is iconic for a reason.
Not every game needs to be CodBF. I've been yearning for another Warhawk (greatest MP shooter) and this look like it since everyone else wants to be the same gritty realistic shooter with customizable loadouts, lootboxes and p2w weapons. No thanks. Keep it.
Blood Gulch is a terrible map and nostalgia is the only reason people still care for it.
