Halo Infinite Technical Preview First Look Stream Announced

343 Industries will be giving a first look at the upcoming Halo Infinite flight test tomorrow.

Orchard1759d ago

I got one - but I don't even have a Series console and it's not clear that the beta is available on PC or XB1... it just says more details in the next few days.

Nitrowolf21759d ago (Edited 1759d ago )

I'll be happy to take that off of you if it's only for series consoles :D

Sadly I didn't get one this time around. Better luck next time I suppose

Orchard1759d ago

My buddy said the same :P but it looks like it's tied to whichever gamertag you linked to the Waypoint portal & insider program in the past :(

Maybe they'll announce it for XB1 but I suspect it's going to be Series only.

--Onilink--1759d ago (Edited 1759d ago )

The blog does mention they are targeting One, Series and PC. It also mentions the modes, weapons and features availabe, its not yet a PvP test

https://www.halowaypoint.co...

“ The number of Insiders being invited, and the criteria by which these Insiders are selected, will vary given the specific scope and goals for a flight. For the tech preview, we have concurrency targets tied to our overall goals that will inform how many total Insiders should be invited. Within that pool of players, our first priority will be ensuring we have a broad distribution of platforms (Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and different PC configurations)”

Orchard1759d ago (Edited 1759d ago )

That's good to know - would've been nice for them to put that info in the mail...

I'll be trying it on my PC and X1X then (assuming my invite works for all - no idea what flighting options I set... that was a while back) - I do have a 2013 Xbox One that I'm tempted to dust off to see how it looks and runs :P

Tedakin1759d ago

I assume it works on XB1.

Orchard1759d ago

From the blog above, I was wrong and it will be on XB1, Series and PC.

Jin_Sakai1759d ago (Edited 1759d ago )

Excited to see some footage. The game looks so much better since last years reveal. The delay looks to have really paid off.

Yeah, even if its not a PvP test yet Im curious to try out the weapons/maps and see how everything looks (even if its definitely a build thats a few months old).

Should be fun to play a bit against the different levels of AI bots and try out the firing range and battlepass/store features to get an idea of how it will be in the final game

brewin1758d ago

Indeed it is starting to shape up nicely! The delay was a tough call, but looks like the right call was made. I havent been this hyped for a Halo game since Halo 3!

Xbox has revealed that Halo Infinite's multiplayer technical preview will start on July 29th and run through August 1st.

-Foxtrot195d ago

So much for that 10 year platform plan

darthv72195d ago

...and its barely been 4 years. LMAO

DarXyde194d ago

Halo Infinite?
Hell no, It's Finished.

... I'll see myself out.

crazyCoconuts194d ago

Taking the "in" out of Infinite

RaidenBlack194d ago

... and he broke into the attic again and got his drums back.

Yang_kai194d ago

Well good luck with the next game, been on almost all systems will help the game life and strengthen their community with fresh blood.

RaidenBlack194d ago

no MP till Halo 7, as per leak
Don't know if it'll release parallelly with Halo 2R or Halo 3R or totally after the trilogy of remakes.

Inverno194d ago

Onto the next 10 year promise! When that turns out to be more Unreal slop you can drop it and promise the same for the game after.

franwex194d ago (Edited 194d ago )

I’m one of the 15 people that regularly play this. Oh well. Hopefully the game will retain a small dedicated player base.

Halo art director leaves studio after 17 years with ominous message alluding to discontent

Glenn Israel writes: "As of today and after seventeen long years, I am officially no longer contributing to the Halo universe. There is little more I can say for the moment, though I intend to share this particular story in its entirety when it is absolutely safe to do so next year. In the meantime, I have a message for anyone and everyone who needs to hear it.

I know that the state of our industry seems dire, but never forget that you are *free to choose*. No illusion of security nor promise of wealth or fame or power is worth trading away your health, your dignity, your ethics or values - and no one can force you to. Stay strong, take evidence when necessary, and find where you belong."

My god.
There's a story for next year.

VenomUK222d ago

I’m really disappointed to learn there are still people/morale problems. I thought the whole point of rebranding 343i to Halo Studios was to signal that real changes had been made - not to cynically rebrand to paper over the problems.

I really hope the Halo CE remake is great and gets people hyped for the future of the series.

DarXyde222d ago

It's inevitable with the modern landscape. Even if some issues have been assuaged, new ones crop up all the time.

I'm willing to bet AI and the lack of regulation is causing substantial upset.

shinXseijuro223d ago (Edited 223d ago )

He said something very marking . We tend to complain a lot about the industry but deep down I realize that we never have we been offered this crazy amount of games all available for you to play now . You can literally play any sorts of games in 2025 . Nobody is forcing you to buy the latest COD or the latest BF . You’re more of a 8 bit cozy gaming guy there’s a whole niche of modern games for that . You like micromanaging there’s games for that . I feel like we have been spoiled so much we just stopped being realistic and thinking for ourselves . We follow trends cry about stuff online when you are the buyer you have the power .

Notellin222d ago

I'm not buying any games until another Immersive sim is made.

PhillyDonJawn223d ago

....wth happened over there?
Does this confirm a new Halo by next year?
What did they want him to do that made him feel it was morally wrong or a insult to his integrity?

-Foxtrot223d ago

Well how about that, a name change doesn’t fix internal issues

Who would have thought

jznrpg222d ago

MS was throwing money around for a long time but now it’s time to pay the Piper.
