Halo Infinite to reward exploration and prominently feature 'natural landscapes'

Halo: Infinite is an upcoming first-person shooter from 343 Industries. In its teaser trailer, the developer promised open environments and a renewed focus on the Master Chief. However, as the months go by, new details emerge.

Looks like this one is going to be an open world game. Or at least something similar to how Destiny or Anthem plays.

Or the Division and DC online. Microtransactions and gaas written all over it. But if the fans want that then so be it. Checking this out on gamepass

Yeah, funny how you said this just to say you´ll be all over it on Game Pass.

@Obscure_Observer

Game Pass or not it probably will still have Gaas and microtransactions. Don't bother me and could care less because I like Halo and will play this game regardless but it will definitely bother a lot of the fans.

if it’s anything like halo 5 cosmetic MTs and Free DLC (we are talking a lot of free DLC too) then i’m 100% on board. Halo 5 was the right way to do MTs if you are gonna have them. I had to spend $0 to get 16 extra MP maps plus multiple new modes.

"gaas written all over it." You realize this means "Games As Service" explain to me how Halo Is GAAS

[andibandit]

. "gaas written all over it"

based on??

[spicelicka]

I don't think it will be totally open world, I wouldn't want that. It should be more like mass effect where you can travel to various planets with large explorable spaces on them.

[gangsta_red]

I'm down for that

[DaveZero]

Nothing wrong with open world on multiple planets, both ideas are welcomed, it's not impossible.

[Iloveherliezz]

It won't bother me if it's good and MTX is just cosmetics. Also I want to unlock worthwhile cosmetics from in-game accomplishments as well.

[battlegrog]

Open world single player and of course just normal maps I'm different parts of the open world like traditional halo

[AngainorG7X]

Show us the damn game already

[Obscure_Observer]

This game is gonna be awesome! And it´s comming to Xbox One!

[PhantomS42]

343i doesn't have a good track record with Halo so far but as a Halo fan, I'm hoping they bring Halo back to the 1-3 glory days.

[DaDrunkenJester]

Id assume our first real look will be E3 2019 and then it release as a bridging launch title for the new Xbox in 2020

[Sirk7x]

E3 probably. Especially with Sony stepping out, MS will probably see it as their big chance to show the game off in a big way. Wish they'd show it sooner though lol.

[DragonbornZ]

May be similar to Halo CE with Destiny/Anthem-like elements.

[annoyedgamer]

Yes to the first part. NO for the second part.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Open world Halo interesting

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Knew it was gonna have exploration open world just from the teaser trailer. Destiny like concepts could work but needs to be revamped, re-worked to fit the Halo scene. I don't mind that sort of change considering Halo imo needs some serious updating.

[EddieNX]

The prospect of spartan laser blasting someone miles away is certainly interesting, then again , ive been doing that for years already in halo 5 warzone XD

[slate91]

I feel like Halo 1 was the perfect amount of "open world"

[DrumBeat]

This is the most intrigued I've ever been regarding Halo. I'm getting a lot of old school feels from Infinite right now.

[sazselesbon]

Oh, please! Not another open world game!

[AK91]

Destiny Halo edition

[jznrpg]

They are trying to put Destiny and BoTW elements into Halo. Guess it couldn’t hurt the series was getting stale(if not already) so they have to try something I guess. I think they just needed better story and better level design and not try to make Halo something else . Should have made a new IP instead but MS doesn’t like taking risks in new IPs with big investments. There is also enough open world games but I am sure most Xbox fans will just Halo open world thanks MS !!

[chiefJohn117]

You have 0 clue wtf you're talking about lol

[NeoGamer232]

Many gamers have blamed Halo for being stale, so Microsoft has to improve it. It is not enough anymore just to have a linear story where you go from chapter to chapter. Gamers expect more in a campaign now.

As for a "new IP". It changes things from a setting perspective, but creating "new IPs" is just as much a buzz phrase to me as "open world". A game can be made exceptional no matter which IP it is made within. It is more about the developer figuring out how they are going to move the IP forward rather than milking the same old gameplay that made them successful at the start.

[chiefJohn117]

Thank you! That's what Halos been missing. A sense of mystery and exploration. Halo 1 captured that feeling perfectly
