Where in the article does it mention this?

CaptainHenry9161688d ago (Edited 1688d ago )

Lol I wasn't feeling the Halo Infinite multi-player beta. But I'm still going to get the game after I see the reviews. 6 years for this? The good news is that I am more interested in the campaign

Chris121688d ago

Well done. How long did it take you to find the lowest quality stream to link too?

CaptainHenry9161688d ago (Edited 1688d ago )

@Christ12

I don't know what you are talking about🤔 I just typed Halo multiplayer beta, and this came up. You can also change the video quality if you're signed up with YouTube. I wasn't concerned with the quality though

chiefJohn1171688d ago (Edited 1688d ago )

Why wait for reviews when you could've just played the tech preview yourself and form your own opinion of the MP. 🤔 and what exactly arent you liking from the MP?

CaptainHenry9161688d ago (Edited 1688d ago )

I'm more interested in the campaign. You can't play some of the campaign from the tech preview. I'm hoping that they release a campaign demo before it launches. Being in development for 6 years, the mp doesn't look that innovative at all, not to mention it doesn't look like a series X game, but it doesn't look that bad either. It makes me think that the Xbox One is holding it back from its true potential. I don't think it should have taken them 6 years to make this imo.

Zhipp1688d ago

I know at least the first few of those 6yrs went into engine development. I'm not a developer so I can't really comment on how long any particular element of the dev process should take, though. We don't even really know when they started working on multiplayer in earnest.

chiefJohn1171687d ago

It's a tech preview of the basic Playlist we all know and love. There new gametypes with the innovative stuff is being saved for released. BTB supposedly is doing something innovative that will be in the next flight. With a new engine and Covid it shouldn't be that hard too see. After all we've had so many basic SP only games delayed. Shouldnt be hard to imagine something as big as Halo taking 6 years.

I don’t get the hate on them releasing some of the game when it’s ready as to delaying the whole game. Then again there’s a lot of miserable people out there that are going to Bitch no matter what

So they are finally going to copy paste enemy AI code into MP bots seen since OG Xbox Halo 1?

isarai1689d ago

Why eventually? It's a behavior i've seen in NPCs since the ps2/xbox, hell Halo 1 bots did this

Rude-ro1688d ago

The entire campaign?
You are literally fighting bots in every game with pve.
Just because you can drop them in a PvP map does not make them different.

343_Guilty_Spark1688d ago

There were no multiplayer bots.

You are purposely twisting words. Environment Enemy AI does not act like bots.

Bots in Infinite can work toward objectives like capture the flag or strongholds...environment enemy AI holds or guards particular areas and are usually in defensive positions to challenge the User. In Halo Infinite bots will actively seek out human opponents to kill, they will hold positions, and they will engage in objectives. It is not the same.

chiefJohn1171687d ago (Edited 1687d ago )

They clearly don't play Halo and have no clue wtf they're talking about, just ignore them

Zhipp1688d ago

It's a new breed of bot. Iirc they're using machine learning to make their behavior more human-like and adaptable. The negative to employing new methods like this means certain features than were standard using the old system have to be redeveloped.

We saw similar stuff in the graphics department when devs were making the switch to HD and some features had to be cut in the process.

Magog1689d ago

One more missing feature for the pile.

343_Guilty_Spark1688d ago

Doesn't say that anywhere in article, you're just hating for the sake of hating. Sad!

Thiss was the original source. Mods are on a rampage not letting stories be posted that excerpt from other stories.

Jin_Sakai1689d ago

I’ve been playing the tech test and this is the most fun I’ve had since Halo 3. Can’t wait for release!

RaidenBlack1688d ago

You missed your '/s'
Or else change your monitor/smartphone you use to watch YT vids.
Even though Halo Infinite is nothing ground breaking to look at ... It definitely doesn't look like Halo 3.
That's like saying Uncharted 4 looks like Uncharted 3.

Sayai jin1687d ago

I haven't really bern into Halo since Halo 3. Tried 4 and 5 and those versions never got me hooked. I started the flight preview this werkend and had a lot of fun. Same. I haven't had this much fun with Halo since the third one. Big Team Battle next weekend!

Jin_Sakai1687d ago

Can’t wait for BTB! I’m sure it will be tons of fun. I was actually surprised how well it looks and plays. Gameplay is solid and smooth as butter.

waiting for Halo: Edge of Seventeen, just like the white-winged dove

Halo Infinite Content Support Update Ending on November 18

Halo Infinite's live service updates will be ending with Operation: Infinite set to be released on November 18, 2025.

-Foxtrot185d ago

So much for that 10 year platform plan

darthv72185d ago

...and its barely been 4 years. LMAO

DarXyde183d ago

Halo Infinite?
Hell no, It's Finished.

... I'll see myself out.

crazyCoconuts184d ago

Taking the "in" out of Infinite

RaidenBlack183d ago

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

Yang_kai184d 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.

RaidenBlack183d 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.

Inverno184d 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.

franwex184d ago (Edited 184d 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.

VenomUK212d 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.

DarXyde211d 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.

shinXseijuro212d ago (Edited 212d 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 .

Notellin211d ago

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

PhillyDonJawn212d 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?

-Foxtrot212d ago

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

Who would have thought

jznrpg212d ago

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