Suit up or gtfo!

Perfect token cameo.She was at E3 tho
Yep. The Craig meme was so big Microsoft delayed the launch of their biggest IP for their next gen console. It’s something that will be talked about and referenced in every Halo/Xbox retrospective going forward.Microsoft delayed it a year, broke all kinds of marketing deals to do that, and decided to launch their next-gen gaming console without a game rather than launch Halo Infinite. On a disaster scale, that ranks it about 'I can't leave without my buddy, Superfly' out of 10.
Nah It would have been a disaster to release it in a broken unfinished state. CP2077 that was a disaster, i dont think launching series x without halo has hurt it in anyway. You still can't buy one, if halo hits hard then they'll become even more difficult to get this holiday.Microsoft delayed it a year, broke all kinds of marketing deals to do that, and decided to launch their next-gen gaming console without a game rather than launch Halo Infinite.

People can rag on xCloud all they want, but if you don't have access to a Series X|S by Dec 8, at least you more or less have "guaranteed access" (in participating regions) that way. Input lag isn't that bad since the XSX upgrades, and would totally be playable for campaign.Nah It would have been a disaster to release it in a broken unfinished state.

The King is already back. The multiplayer test was tremendous.The king is back? Please be good.
Also dropped Destiny at this point. As a mostly comp PVP player they all but abandoned the PVP side of things after the split. I believe there's still no new maps? I broke the cycle and can't bring myself to play anymore. Did enjoy my time with it, mostly.Halo 1-4 is amazing.
Halo 5 is the game where I left and played Destiny. Watching the first cutscene is where I vomited. All action, no context, and does a disservice to Halo 4's story.
Destiny 2 is the reason why I'm going back to Halo Infinite. Destiny MP is bullshit and unbalanced. At least in Destiny 1 you had to go find special ammo. Destiny 2 is a clusterfuck of guns that kill you just as fast as CoD.
Does Bo know Halo?
You asked was Infinite’s footage really that much of a disaster. I believe I explained that it was. Contrasting it against a hypothetical release that didn’t happen should reinforce that for you: if the footage wasn’t that much of a disaster, they’d have released it.Nah It would have been a disaster to release it in a broken unfinished state.

Here Chief, you dropped this.Halo 1-4 is amazing.

Where are those people who said it for sure wasn't coming out now?
Also no matter how good the game is it will be slammed and pixel peeped at 1600x, so prepare yourselves accordingly.
Expecting the single player campaign to be delayed within the next week. Bank on it.
It's true. Halo 5's campaign sucked, and I'm not alone.Here Chief, you dropped this.![]()

Here's hoping Halo Infinite's campaign is good, well at least better than what was initially presented.
Cutscenes are nice, but I want to ACTUALLY enjoy playing the game. If I didn't I'll just go watch Halo Infinite the movie on youtube when the game launches.
Honestly, I don't feel that it was the worst reveal and I definitely don't think the game was delayed due to the graphics. People complained and made fun of the textures (or lack of textures in the game for sure) but I think the real reason they delayed it was simply due to the game not being ready. I think the complaints over the graphics were warranted though slightly overblown but more importantly it gave 343 the perfect excuse/opportunity to delay while getting the least amount of criticism for delaying. I mean the reveal looked and played like Halo. 343 also stated that the textures for "Craig" weren't implemented/finished in the reveal footage.You asked was Infinite’s footage really that much of a disaster. I believe I explained that it was. Contrasting it against a hypothetical release that didn’t happen should reinforce that for you: if the footage wasn’t that much of a disaster, they’d have released it.
Halo Infinite’s original gameplay reveal was, without doubt, the worst AAA reveal and backlash I’ve ever seen.
I really want 343 to embrace the meme and show Craig before and after comparison![]()
For some of us campaign is the most important component, MP was very impressive but the scrutiny that this showing will be under is massive. Not only does it need to look very good but it needs to play even better and show us something spectacular. The last showing was basically run of the mill Halo (if you ignore the visual issues), I'm hoping for some large scale combat featuring UNSC vs The Banished to really utilise the huge environments.The King is already back. The multiplayer test was tremendous.
Campaign is just icing.
Feels like the most interesting and important gaming video I’ll see this year.
Do we have any indication yet how this all ties into Halo 4 and 5? Or have they tossed those stories to the side and started fresh?
it was good. Honestly Halo 3 and Halo Reach had some great campaigns. Halo 4 can hang with them4 had one of the better campaigns in the series.
