We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
I'm conflicted on the Halo demo overall. The campaign tease seemed great in everything but visuals, which still don't look very good to me. I think they're having significant engine troubles. The MP demo also looked rough and significantly rehearsed / faked. They seem to have really significant technical hurdles making this game. The lack of specific release date makes me think we may see another delay, and I hope they give it to them if they need it, I guess.
The artstyle is also still very much not for me. I love that it tries to go back to the more natural landscapes of the original Halo games, but the lack of lushness in the environments combined with the cartoony / toyish look of the spartans and vehicles really hurt the art of the game. It just doesn't look very good.
I'm fine with that if the game delivers on its promises of a more open world Halo sandbox with a good story that goes back to the series roots.
But that game worries me, for sure. I was STILL not impressed overall, a year later.

2022 incoming. Barebones 'reveal' for a game that was supposed to release last year. No specific date is making me think it's not releasing this year.
The fact they decided to close the show with Red Fall and not Halo Infinite speaks volumes. They did not open or close the show with Halo. No release date either. I am pessimistic to say the least.
I'm trying to not be bitter and jaded I really am.

This doesn't look like much of an improvement over last year's showing tbh. They also didn't show the campaign, which leads me to believe it's not that much better either. Disappointing.
Yup lol. Whole time these rumors were making it sound like it was a huge step up.
Welcome to Halo. You'd be hard pressed to find a game that simultaneously has the most expectations put on it, with those expectations all required to be nailed absolutely beyond perfect in order to make people happy.
Because you can't ever give props to 343i. It's just not allowed.
Halo 3 has a 3 minute trailer at E3 2007 that was a collection of gameplay snippets.
This looked awesome. It now looks exactly like the Halo game I wanted to play. Love the art style.
I thought the gameplay looked like a blast. But maaaan do the visuals look poor in multiplayer. And they're made to look even worse being shown off so soon in the show after BF2042.
Oh well. Graphical fidelity has never been the thing players come to Halo for, it's the gameplay. And that looks great.

Sigh, really disappointed that it seems like it's much slower paced/less movement oriented than Halo 5. If anything Master Chief Collection showed definitively that Halo doesn't work with M&K due to the ease of tracking targets. The thrusters and "advanced mobility" added a new skill ceiling and moving around the map felt so much fun with all the tools constantly at your disposal.
I'm sure it'll still be more fun than Halo 1-Reach and I'll still get it and most likely enjoy it a lot, but the core gameplay seems like a step back from Halo 5.

Looks fun.
Doesn't look like a huge visual leap from the last showing, which is expected given that it is still a cross-gen title.
120FPS in multiplayer is really good news though. Glad that it is there.
Bit worried that there is still no firm release date. I hope it turns out good.

But i assume the visuals would be the same across sp and mp...or not?
The game has been content complete for a long time. We're getting more stuff this month, tomorrow we get an in-depth overview of multiplayer. The lack of a date is probably just them wanting to avoid any issues.
