Halo Infinite

[Riff Machine 2,105]

I feel like this is going to make or break the franchise.  I haven't been impressed by any of the 343 developed entries in this series.  If infinite doesn't live up to expectations, I wonder if MS will start looking into a new developer.  Probably not but who knows.

I think Microsoft have got themselves into a position where they could probably close the Halo franchise if Infinite fails to shine. If this was a few years ago then they'd be clinging on to dear life to any exclusive they have but now it's not so much of a concern to them I don't think. The MP is gonna be free so that'll be interesting to see how many people jump in and spend money on this. Having PC right off of the bat could be a key to its success but I'm still not convinced it's gonna be all that amazing especially when they went back to the drawing board for over a year after its original reception.

It's getting quite abit of praise from the closed Beta and there are some brief plays that look very nostalgic. Considering an Xbox now....

 

One thing that would help them win everyone over is the ranking system. Do we know if they are taking anything into consideration from the heydays of Halo 2?

It looks much better than the reveal they did last year. I'll definitely be giving it a go👍

As it's 343 and the gaming landscape has long changed since then, I'd probably say no. The MP will also be free to play on PC and Xbox so I'm expecting some significant microtransaction elements in effect too. I still think it has some good potential though and hopefully lessons have been learned because their last two games and their only two have been quite disappointing.

Looks a combination of Destiny and Overwatch 😄...and I love it!

 

Is it too late to ask for an Xbox for Christmas? 😁

This is an excellent video - some very narrow-minded and ignorant streamers got toasted😁

Campaign releases later and anyone hesitant in dropping £50 can always pay £1 and get it on Game Pass instead😎
