I'm going to drown! For no reason at all!

Seems like you can still see some of the dev hell the game went through, but that it also came out of that dev hell as a good game. Nice end of a(nother) really good year for Microsoft. Hopefully this is the trend going forward.

It'll be interesting to see how this Halo pans out, we're in uncharted (not the PlayStation game franchise) territory.

- Fanbase so toxic they shut down the reddit Halo subforum over the weekend.
- Battle pass aside, the multiplayer is 100% free to play (don't even need XBL Gold apparently).
- So the $60 asking price is exclusively for the campaign, although since it's on Game Pass I suspect almost everyone will play it that way, or with a bundled game code if that's a thing.

Has anyone played Chorus? Was released last week to what I believe has been zero fanfare. Although I've been balls dead in :angel: the past fortnight.

no snow areas or anything is pretty disappointing but the campaign still looks insanely fun

Yeah its good aside from some annoying ui/hud issues.
The intro is dumb tho you have a bunch of dog fights to play through but they dont give you the fast turning ability for like 2 hours so these supposed tutorial fights are like stupid hard and then they let you spin on your axis and every enemy becomes your bitch.

You can do a lot of side missions in the first area before getting the actual sassy back-talking ship but you should just advance the main story until you get the first two Rite powers (drift and leap) and then do sidequests.

Yeah its not a deal breaker its just annoying.
The team was going for a big power boost moment for the player without thinking through how much it blows to fight enemies that can clearly spin around and shoot you instantly when you've got to come around on them like an airplane.

Similarly they give you the drift turn ability in a very confined space thinking you will appreciate the maneuverability but i bounced the gently caress off every wall like a dumbass for a few mins until i really figured it out

Just the kind of unforced error a smaller team would make.

The one thing I was dreading they actually hosed up. How do you make a big-rear end tentpole game with two environments? (I know the answer is they had to basically start over last year, but it’s still lame)

I won't get the copy of Halo I won for maybe another month so it's gonna be torture to see everyone play the campaign, but hopefully by that time it'll have a patch or two to make it even more polished so actually I stay winning.

There isn't one yet anyway. Maybe a pre-load will happen in the next few days?

Early reports are that the Campaign DLC is an extra 28 gig download or thereabouts (might depend on which of the four Xboxes you're installing to).

I'm aware. My point still stands - no preload for something popular coming out in the middle of the day on December 8. Guess they want us to have that same experience the disc buyers will have.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

i've downloaded 28gb of Halo Infinite (Campaign) from the gamepass mobile app (or gamepass windows application too i guess?) which i assume is the bare bones initial campaign stuff and it'll download the rest in the background as you play the first few missions before the open world stuff starts.
