A former 343i employee (Skybox Artist) shared some insight on Halo Infinite. (video is in mandarin, so I tried to translate his words into English)

  • His overall feeling on Halo Infinite: "In fact, I think the finished product will still be great. The story is a big improvement, and the gameplay is much richer, though the development cycle is too long. Don't expect it to be an epoch-making masterpiece."
  • The company executives were overly ambitious. They wanted to make Halo Infinite a semi-open world game, so the engine needed to be changed significantly. They had to make the game and develop the engine at the same time (Due to engine defects, many workflows were not ideal, though they are now much more improved than before).
  • Last year's disastrous demo was because many engine features were not fully implemented at that time.
  • For a variety of reasons, the game content compared to the original idea has been cut (same for multiplayer). "This has led to some things I've made over the years that no one will probably ever see."
  • The team at 343 (especially the low-level employees) works very hard, and many of them have experienced working overtime until the early hours of the morning in the past few years.
  • Now he works at Certain Affinity, still doing some HI outsourcing work, and he feels good to be out of 343's baggage.

Halo Infinite's multi player is F2P !!! That's seems very bold move from Microsoft. Then again they have been bold for quite some time now.

For me at least, their most premium product with a cult like following especially of its multiplayer mode and giving it out for free, is BIG news. That means not only is it free free, its also not behind their GOLD paywall. Absolutely fantastic stuff.

This is the face of Xbox & there is barely any hype behind this :p

FH 5 has more popularity compared to this.

Bring back Bungie!

Surprising they're not able to pull off 60 FPS on One X. Halo 5 ran at a very high resolution and 60 FPS there.
