That all sounds really good. I really hope that I get to try out the LAN functionality at some point.

This card won't be actually for sale - you have to win it.  So pretty much like every other card out there.

ray tracing coming later? meh. I’ve seen so many games promise ray tracing later and it never happens it feels like. Still waiting for that Hitman 3 RT patch.

Halo Infinite’s Great Journey on PC - Xbox Wire

NEWS.XBOX.COM

Almost two years ago, 343 Industries and Xbox embarked on a journey to bring the entirety of Halo: The Master Chief Collection to the PC on the Microsoft Store and Steam. After 23 months, six game launches, eight seasons of content and countless flights, 343...

 

 

Cool, yet they still don't have Halo 5: Guardians on PC.

What if Halo was Just Cause?

Or Breath of the Wild

Using grapple hooks in crazy ways and blowing up objectives on an open map is much more Just Cause than BotW.

Sure - I'll agree with that.

[Commissar SFLUFAN]

 

That looks GENUINELY enjoyable.

Certainly not graphically ground-breaking (and when has Halo ever been that anyway?), but definitely enjoyable!

It was groundbreaking for making UE look bad with texture loading.

[legend]

That looks fun. These videos really do give me hope that they finally understand Halo. Fingers crossed for this one.

[silentbob]

It’s Halo but also not with side missions available. Wonder how them upgrades will work in the campaign that we saw ever so briefly with the MC there. Can’t be any worse then Guardians. . . right?

Halo Infinite's Craig Is Hot Now Thanks To Added Beard And Mohawk

Craig’s all glowed up.

 

[skillzdadirecta]

I fully expect that the open world will be closer to Ubisoft syle open worlds for better or worse. The actual minute to minute gameplay looks crazy fun though.

[crispy4000]

About as good as I'd expect a cross gen open world Halo to look.  I think they finally redeemed its E3 showing.

Yea, I completely agree. Pretty impressive I'll say.

[Brick]

I actually forgot this was open world. I guess that will hopefully justify a 60 dollar campaign as it hopefully shouldn't be one you can complete in less than 5 hours like most FPS campaigns.

343 doesn't deserve the 60.

[CitizenVectron]

I haven't played a Halo game since I rented an original Xbox in high school. However, this being on PC—and BF 2042's disappointing changes—definitely have me very interested!

That reminded me of the opening credits to Westworld. Probably what they were going for.

Halo Infinite - Inside Infinite - October 2021

This month we go behind the scenes to learn more about the work that goes into creating the characters you'll meet in Halo Infinite and all the ways the UXUI team are crafting an immersive and accessible experience for everyone.

Welcome to our latest installment of Inside Infinite – our monthly blog series devoted to celebrating some of the tremendous work happening to bring Halo Infinite to life. So much has happened since we kicked this off back in December and we’re so grateful to have you with us on this journey. We’ve covered a lot of ground together over the past 9 months digging into Halo Infinite’s development and getting to know some of the talented people across the team. We’re super eager to be in the final stretch now, with our December 8 launch quickly approaching, but there are still stories to be told.

 

This month we’re excited to welcome members of the UXUI and Character Teams to share insights about their work on Halo Infinite. But, before we jump into that, if you haven’t yet seen the recently released Campaign Overview video, you should stop what you’re doing and give it a watch!

Halo Infinite: ‘Streets’ Multiplayer Map Revealed – IGN First - IGN

WWW.IGN.COM

 

 

Quote

Halo Infinite will be released on December 8, but in the meantime, IGN has exclusive coverage of Master Chief’s spiritual reboot all month long as part of our editorial IGN First “cover story” initiative. That means we’ll be dropping exclusive content throughout the month of November (and yes, we’ve played the campaign – the first four hours of it), starting with today’s reveal of a brand-new Arena multiplayer map called ‘Streets’.

 

[Moa]

I'm starting to think that after all the development shakeups, delays, and poor first showings this game might be good.
