Finally, it’s coming



I wonder what it will looks like now.

Edit : I wanted to put campaign trailer in the title. Can a mod edit? (Thanks the mod for a much better title)

The Banished have defeated UNSC forces and taken control of the mysterious Zeta Halo, threatening the survival of humankind. When all hope is lost and humanity’s fate hangs in the balance, the Master Chief returns to confront the most ruthless foe he’s ever faced. Here’s a fresh look at the Halo Infinite campaign that introduces players to true Spartan freedom in the biggest, most wide open and adventure-filled Halo experience yet, launching on December 8 2021.

I'm doubling down on it from the Youtube description.

 

[Vasto]

I believe in 343.

Lets go!

Slightly off topic, but "Craig" is a brilliant text book example of "don't look here, look over there!" deflection that even China would be proud of.

MS could see Halo being ripped to shreds about it, so they coined the name "Craig" to redirect all the memes away from "Halo". It was so obvious to me what they were doing.

It worked so well that I read an article recently from a huge publication, it was one of the big sites (can't remember the name) which said Craig was a name coined by the community. Ha. I remember reading this thinking: you fuckers are so easily manipulated. No wonder the politicians run circles all over you.

Anyway I can't wait for this game! I've never played a Halo campaign but played the shit out of the multiplayer modes. I might give this campaign a shot once co-op hits.

I'm so excited I just pissed myself.

I expect similar changes to the materials as we have seen in the multiplayer.

[Pidull]

Wish I could get excited for this, but after 5's abysmal campaign and the reveal trailer last year with the generic Latino guy, I still have no confidence in this title.

Microsoft seems to be as out of touch with Halo as Nintendo was with Metroid for 15 years.

Fuck yeah! I have a meeting at that time though. Ugh. Will watch as soon as I can

Halo, Google Pixel 6 on 10/28, GTA trilogy, Forza Horizon 5, Still balls deep in D2R, bought to go get a pump, life's good.

I'm cautiously optimistic for this even though I'll wait a couple months for coop to be added. Hopefully they don't fuck it up.

 

[jigglet]

It's a joke.

Don't get me wrong, I love that MS leaned into it and went along with the joke. I respect that 10000x more than when MS said their team was offended by people calling XB1 "X-bone". Offended lol.

But as a PR move, it was clearly a very intentionally created piece of deflection.

 

[Starfield]

thanks for the fix,

can't wait

wtf is this cynicism.

The name craig was made up by someone on a Facebook Halo fan page. Why is this some conspiracy lmao you have to chill out

 

[NahaNago]

I'm looking forward to it. I'm guessing this will be simply a solid trailer since we already had the downgrade of the last trailer to temper expectations, plus I don't think they want a repeat of Craig no matter how good the marketing has been for halo because of it.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

I went by a friend's to help them put on a door and do some bathroom renovations, and then I see this! Glorious!!!!!

Not trying to be ignorant, legit question.

I have never played the Halo Campaigns but from what I gather from the Halo community is that 343i created pretty mediocre Campaign stories for 4 and 5 and they weren't on the same level as Bungies.

Has something changed with whoever is leading the Campaign stories? Or are people just hyped because it's a new main entry?

Edit: Thanks for the replies, question pretty much answered.

No it wasn't. Halo community director, Brian Jarrard, suggested the name.

I love these last minute announcement! Way better than waiting weeks for something like this that could be delayed.

4 was all right. 5 was legitimately the wrong direction and they basically are ignoring that for the foreseeable future and handling this one differently. On the bright side, Joseph Staten from the original trilogy took over as 'Campaign Project Lead' upon the announcement of the delay and has been working on it since.

It's cautious optimism on my end, but I can at least trust the game design of the campaign should be good.

 

[thatJohann]

I’m a bit confused.

Is the entire Halo Infinite game including both SP and MP out on December 8 except campaign co-op? Or is it just SP coming December 8? Can someone clarify?

I wouldn't say mediocre per say just not upto Bungies efforts. Still fairly solid FPS's

And yes they brought in Joseph Staten after that E3 reveal, hes been involved in Halo since the start and was the main man on ODST.

Edit: Didn't see Yuki's post.

Yes both, Campaign co-op added later.

SP and MP are out Dec 8. Campaign Co-Op launches in the following MP season.

4 had one of the better campaigns in the series.

Hmm, hopefully his influence that late in the game can get the series back on track. Was thinking of hopping into the MCC on PC at some point but I really like good storytelling. Think I'll wait for reviews on this and if they're good, download all the games
