Today was Xbox Games Showcase online and the folks over at 343 Industries finally showed off something on the upcoming Halo game. But instead of a trailer as many would anticipating, we got to see the Master Chief in action within an 8-minutes of campaign gameplay footage of Halo Infinite.
Now this is said to be massively larger than the last 2 previous Halo titles combined. It will support 60fps gameplay and we have a new set of villains added to the Covenant called The Banished which appeared back in Halo Wars 2. Along w/ more game to play, they gave Master Chief some new tricks finally.
We see a new grappling hook that can grab things & the environment and a Drop Wall cover that can block grenades and provide a quick cover. During the gameplay, we several weapons used – some new and many old. So we got an assault rifle, a battle rifle with a vector-like diagonal magazine, a simple pistol, a ravager covenant weapon, plasma pistol, bulldog shotgun with drum mag, a pulse carbine, and mangler pistol.
Although it wasn’t the trailer I expected, the gameplay got me interested in playing it. Halo Infinite is set to arrive this holiday season along w/ the arrival of the Xbox Series X. Thoughts on it all?
