After Months Of Disappointment, Halo Infinite Is About To Get A Whole Lot Better

'Lone Wolves,' the second season of 343’s shooter, could revitalize the game when it hits Xbox and PC on May 3

CaptainHenry916765d ago

We'll see. I actually stopped playing it months ago

InUrFoxHole764d ago

I still play. It's well done. Lacking in content but it's solid.

MadLad765d ago

That's the thing that bothers me most. I'm pretty sure they said March for the co-op update.

I never really play the multiplayer for Halo.

The campaign is fantastic, but I'd like to do another go through with friends.

John_McClane765d ago

I agree, they need to pull out all the stops and get co-op done now. I found the multiplayer pretty decent this time around, I just suck at it. 😁

--Onilink--765d ago

They never said March for coop, it was always slated for season 2 and Season 1 from the beginning was set to last until May

MadLad764d ago

@oni

And the roadmap changed and keeps being pushed back.
There wasn't even an actual roadmap back when they spoke of the co-op addition.

--Onilink--764d ago

Yeah, I think at one point recently they said it wasnt going to launch at the beginning of season 2 but sometime during the season, but definitely never March. Given how far behind they seem to be on everything, they probably never even considered March an option haha.
Just some terrible project management overall

Its pretty much dead. MT galore

I thought Kotaku was going out of a business? The industry would be a better place without their commentary.

FortWaba764d ago

I have to agree. Once Jason Schreir left, there was no reason to go back to Kotaku. It had already been on the decline with their aggressive LGBT and political agenda.

I'm an ally, but please keep the focus on the games. Some reviews would be 70% talking about politics and moral/ethic issues, and then just a few blurbs at the end regarding actual gameplay and visuals.

Nah. Screw them.

Charlieboy333765d ago

"Is about to". "Could revitalize". FFS.....tired of these pathetic articles always focused on what they hope will happen instead of reporting on what actually happens....especially with this game. I think maybe perhaps there is a chance that possibly it could be that you are about to be talking out of your ass again....probably.

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.

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

GamerRN80d 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 McGroin80d 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.

WolfSeed80d ago

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

MrNinosan80d 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.

1Victor79d 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 🤷🏿

Barlos79d ago

Nobody is desperate over a game. Its pure clickbait.

TwoPicklesGood79d 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.

Rdeal79d 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

Hypertension14079d ago (Edited 79d 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.

Kiryu199279d 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?

DarXyde79d ago

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.

343_Guilty_Spark80d ago (Edited 80d ago )

When is Halo Infinite coming?

Hellblade 2 coming?

Jin_Sakai80d ago

Soon enough.

VincentVanBro80d ago

Neither of those are worth an entire console so who cares?

DazaMc80d ago

Anytime now, who knows.

MrNinosan80d ago

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...

InUrFoxHole79d ago

Why get either console? All are coming to pc anyway

Shane Kim79d ago

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

InUrFoxHole78d ago

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

OptimusDK79d ago

You couldn’t help yourself right Jin

Jin_Sakai79d ago

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

goldwyncq79d 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.

Tedakin79d 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.

Neonridr81d ago

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

RaidenBlack80d ago

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

Jin_Sakai80d ago

They already assisted with development.

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

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

RaidenBlack80d ago

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

neomahi79d 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_Sakai79d 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

Neonridr80d ago

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.

PhillyDonJawn79d ago

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

Blad3runner0081d 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.

purple10180d 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

anast80d ago

So, PS5 is the choice, right?

PhillyDonJawn80d ago (Edited 80d 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)

PaleMoonDeath80d 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

EvertonFC80d ago

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

PaleMoonDeath80d ago

@Everton, DUDE! KILLZONE 2 HELGHAST SKINS! COULD YOU IMAGINE

Charlieboy33379d ago

They hate Playstation to the point of insanity....yet want a Playstation game on Xbox so bad. These people don't even make sense in their OWN minds...

79d ago
EvertonFC79d ago (Edited 79d 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

DivineHand12579d 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.

crazyCoconuts80d ago

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

anast80d ago (Edited 80d 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.

crazyCoconuts80d ago

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

anast80d ago

"one day exclusivity will probably be gone"

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

Yeah it's certainly a relief that they're not too hard to earn because they look good! With Seasons now done, we're getting less free armor than usual so it's something
