Halo Infinite has cat ears now, and people are loving it

The Purfect Audio epic helmet attachment is now in the game, and it's causing quite the uproar.

Jin_Sakai872d ago

Seen quite a few teammates with cat ears lol

Orchard872d ago

Yeah… next up we’ll get furry tail “utility belts”

LOGICWINS872d ago

Can't wait to unlock my Peppermint Spartan Armor tonight! One of my teammates last night had the Gears skull on their visor and it looked dope!

This is what Halo has come to in 2021.....

porkChop872d ago

How is that at all related to Fortnite?

FPSFox872d ago

Because it's ridiculous looking and the tone doesn't match previous games. I think that's the criticism some are having with it.

porkChop872d ago

That doesn't make it like Fortnite though. Cat ears have been a thing in gaming culture for such a long time. You can literally buy gaming headsets with cat ears. Fortnite is entirely unrelated to it.

Not liking cat ears is fine, I think they're dumb as well. I just think it's stupid that people throw Fortnite around all the time as a reference/reason for everything.

Tacoboto872d ago

There were armor options in Halo 5 especially that were so over-the-top sci-fi they didn't match the tone either. You'd never see players with the helmets that had also-ridiculous super-slim visors, or visors that were just dots/circles.

Microsoft would love for Halo’s free to play MP to be Fortnite. Fortnite is one of the biggest grossing games every year.

"Turning Halo into Fortnite is what every Halo fan wanted. Thanks Xbox."

anast871d ago

This is true. But the tone of Halo has changed. I am sure there are a ton of fans excited about this direction...

BenRC01871d ago

And cod. And battlefield. And rainbow six.

0rbital71872d ago (Edited 872d ago )

now i will not play if its turned into a circus like cod, but i spose this is why its free, so they can make loadsamoney from crap like this^

LOGICWINS872d ago

Hopefully they do make a ton of money. The more lucrative free-to-play MP games become, the more of them we get. We're very close to a future where paying to play online games on console will be a thing of the past.

FPSFox872d ago

Nah... I've got over 100 hours in this game now and I've got like... 5 helmets? I've gotta work my ass off to unlock tan armor?... I hope they don't make a lot of money and become less stingy with cosmetics. We're close to every dev nickel and diming us to unlock simple BS such as red and blue armor... That's what we're close to.

DJStotty872d ago

@FPSFox

100 hours and you are only at tier 35?

SpineSaw870d ago

@DJStotty
"100 hours and you are only at tier 35"
I'm guessing he's playing the game straight up and not on a PC using hacks and cheats and he's also not using a modded controller with auto aim and rapid fire and other cheats that so many use when playing FPS games on console so 100hrs and level 35 looks solid to me.

Loads of money from it being the best fps currently available too

DJStotty872d ago (Edited 872d ago )

If it makes you loads of money define "crap", you know what the saying is,

"one man's crap, is another man's treasure"

anast871d ago

Don't worry, it's a Halo F2P. It will barely stay afloat for the next 10 years.

Desperate Xbox players turn to Halo Forge for their Helldivers 2 fix

PS5-exclusive Helldivers 2 is so popular that Xbox players want a taste of democracy, and now Halo Forge will be the battleground for a Helldivers 2 remake.

XiNatsuDragnel80d ago

That's wild but hey if forge satisfies than that's good

GamerRN79d ago

Also.... Desperate Xbox players? I mean Helldivers2 looks ok, but I wouldn't call it anything to get desperate over..

God of War and the other exclusive are more worth desperation. I don't think I'm gonna even try Helldivers2, in still trying to beat Forbidden West, and I still of Ghosts, Ragnarok and TLOU2 to play

Old McGroin79d ago

Helldivers 2 is a phenomenally good game. You should definitely check it out if you get the chance. Looks like the devs have the server capacity issue pretty much sewn up now so it's a good time to jump in.

WolfSeed79d ago

You clearly haven't tried it. It's pure crack.

MrNinosan79d ago

I thought exactly like you, until I tried Helldivers 2... and then I was hooked.
The only thing that will stop me from playing it going forward is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth next week.

1Victor78d ago

@gamer: “Also.... Desperate Xbox players? I mean Helldivers2 looks ok”

Lest be honest for a minute even Phil want it on Xbox and if it wasn’t desperation the forge player wouldn’t be trying to copy it 🤷🏿

Barlos78d ago

Nobody is desperate over a game. Its pure clickbait.

TwoPicklesGood78d ago

I enjoy Helldivers 2 but it isn’t phenomenal or anything, its just a good game. Sure us ps5 players don’t have many multiplayer games so maybe that skews perspective. What we should be worrying about Is all the bugs and issues that STILL plague the game. It shouldn’t have been released in this state.

Helldivers 2 graphically makes halo on series x look 2 gen behind.

Rdeal78d ago

Are you saying Helldivers 2 graphics are better than Halo's? if so you need glasses , graphics has to be the worst part of Helldivers 2, I have seen better on the PS4

Hypertension14078d ago (Edited 78d ago )

@Rdeal

It's not the best looking game around
but the graphics definitely look better than halo infinite. The destruction on display while also maintaining a steady performance is also very impressive.

I've also seen better on PS4, but I say the same for almost every Xbox Series X game this generation.

Kiryu199278d ago

Why desperate Xbox fans? Why are we so split as a gaming community? So gamers wanting to play awesome games are not labeled desperate?

I don't think it's really unusual.

LittleBigPlanet allowed for that.

Just get a PS5 and be done with it. Four Xbox exclusives are making their way over with more to follow down the road.

When is Halo Infinite coming?

Hellblade 2 coming?

Soon enough.

Probably within a year, but don't worry. They will still be available on the box of your choice, except if Switch is your choice.

Or just play it on your PC...

Why get either console? All are coming to pc anyway

Shane Kim78d ago

If it wasn't for the initial cost, then I would never get a console.

Honestly pc is great but I love the convenience of a console

You couldn’t help yourself right Jin

Jin_Sakai77d ago

I just couldn’t help but tell the reality of the situation.

goldwyncq78d ago

Or just get a PC because all Xbox and PS games are coming to it sooner or later. Nintendo's the only company practicing true exclusivity nowadays.

Tedakin78d ago

Sony's present said first party games will be on pc and other platforms too. So what? And before you say he just meant "pc and playstation" that was debunked. Day 1 pc is definitely coming from Sony, ending your precious exclusives.

Neonridr80d ago

I remember the good old days of Halo 3 and the Forge. Some wild game games came from it.

RaidenBlack79d ago

Just let Coalition develop or at least assist in developing the next Halo ... 343 alone is not enough

Jin_Sakai79d ago

They already assisted with development.

“Gears of War studio The Coalition helped out with Halo Infinite”

https://www.vg247.com/gears...

RaidenBlack78d ago

Then lead the next Halo development with 343 assisting instead ... as well as leverage some of the other new acquired studios if possible

neomahi78d ago

That would be smart, but makes too much sense. BUT, The Coalition is pretty much dead, without Rod Ferguson, there's nothing there. That was the point of that team was that he was heading it up but even Rod Ferguson turned down being the boss and head of his own studio making Microsoft money to go to Blizzard, and isn't it ironic, look where's he's at now. Cliff Blezinski offered to go back to work on Gears and Xbox (one of their biggest IPs) shut him down and told him no. Gears put Xbox on the map, and they told him no. Sony wouldn't tell David Jaffe no if he asked to return to God of War or Twisted Metal, Jaffe is just to lazy, but Xbox shut down Blezinski, completely shocked me.

So, you're right, kinda, but that blood isn't there anymore, the soul of that team is gone so I don't think you'd get the quality you think that you would

Jin_Sakai77d ago

“Then lead the next Halo development with 343 assisting instead ... as well as leverage some of the other new acquired studios if possible“

Certain Affinity would be good but who knows what’s happening there. And I’d suggest keeping CoD studios away from the franchise unless you want Halo of Duty.

Halo Infinite forge is a million times better. maps don't even look like forge made but look like actual dev created maps now

oh I bet, I just have fond memories of all the different things people came up with. I can only imagine what it's like now.

PhillyDonJawn78d ago

Hell yeah I remember the forge map toilet 😂 good times. Poo and paper everywhere

Blad3runner0079d ago

Don't get this mentality. Nothing is stopping these people from buying a PS5

I don't get fanboyism and refusing to purchase a competitors console.

purple10179d ago

I didn't used to get it, when is was Sega vs Nintendo, but now companies charging for online play, I dont wan to pay 2 separate subs, so you make a choice. also if you were to say invest in extra controllers for mates or whatever, I suppose it all adds up

anast79d ago

So, PS5 is the choice, right?

PhillyDonJawn79d ago (Edited 79d ago )

You're thinking too much into it. Forge creators make anything and everything. This is nothing new. Call of duty and other games have been made in halo forge as well. I was just playing Nuketown and hot potato 2 weeks ago lol (hot potato fun asf btw)

PaleMoonDeath79d ago

Not everyone can afford it mate, some have kids, families etc to support. Very close minded statement, adults don't necessarily care which machine, but money's tight nowadays, bring them Helldivers so we can get the damn Halo & Gears armour on PS5 lol

I wanna see helgeist, scorpions, crimera, flying sting rays even some knack enemies etc

EvertonFC78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

Agreed fella, same can be said for the playstation lot too though lol. We would all be over a gears collection, halo collection, Forza and ori

DivineHand12578d ago

I hope all the persons who agreed with you have an Xbox. Being a multi-console owner is the best thing for a gamer. When Palworld came out I could boot up the Xbox and play it there. I also just started playing Helldivers 2 yesterday and I am having a great time with it.

The gunplay is good so persons who are on the fence for this reason, don't be. The gunplay in this can go up against Halo, Destiny, The Division 2 etc. The gameplay loop is also good with a reasonable progression system. It doesn't have any RPG mechanics so don't expect to see numbers popping up when you shoot an enemy. Progression in this game allows you to unlock cosmetics, weapons and air drops from orbit to aid you on your mission.

HA! All the while Xbox games are popping up in PS stores. To be honest, on day exclusivity will probably be gone and each will just provide a streaming service bundle, but why not have fun while we can.

crazyCoconuts79d ago

And to get you to pick one streaming service over another they would have....

anast79d ago (Edited 79d ago )

You do know how to ask direct questions, right? This is a serious question.

They would have different app features, different UI's, timed exclusivity, and different video game series (live action and animation). Also the streaming services would be tied to mobile phones of choice (Sony vs MS; maybe even Nintendo will get in on this, phone thing.) which have their own reasons for purchasing.

Of course this is in the distant future. They don't call me the Oracle for no reason.

crazyCoconuts78d ago

Exclusives... The answer was exclusives.
But, you being the Oracle you already knew that, didn't you?

anast78d ago

"one day exclusivity will probably be gone"

Yes. I am the Oracle. When this happens you can say I am right.
