The Banished have defeated UNSC forces and taken control of the mysterious Zeta Halo, threatening the survival of humankind. When all hope is lost and humanity's fate hangs in the balance, the Master Chief returns to confront the most ruthless foe he's ever faced. Here's a fresh look at the Halo Infinite campaign that introduces players to true Spartan freedom in the biggest, most wide open and adventure-filled Halo experience yet, launching on December 8 2021.

Looks much better than before in terms of animations and general flow. I am a bit nervous that its going to turn into a Ubisoft icon map by the looks of some of those side missions.
 
I'm excited to finally play it. Something tells me this is gonna end on a cliffhanger and they add more via dlc
 
Looks fun. The formula needed a big shift and it got it. It couldn't be another completely brainless hallway shooter like Halo 5.

I do wish it was XSX and PC exclusive, though. They could have really pumped up those visuals.

I shat on 343 a lot. Time to give them some credit. This upgrade is good

Yeah I'm quite impressed with the campaign footage. I'm just hoping it's still open ended levels with different compounds to take out and not a full blown open world.

The former would basically be Crysis with Halo gameplay, and I'm all for that.
 
It looks like it could be fun but it's not actually a very good trailer there are no real wow moments or anything. Someone else made a good point that comparing this to the Halo 2 trailer never mind the average trailer these days is such a stark contrast.

It looks fun.

Enough to tempt me into playing the Master Chief Collection. Do I need to play 5 or can I just skip it/watch it on YouTube and head into Infinite?
 
No longer looks like a massive turd, but it also kind of feels like something an AI would have come up with. The dialogue was terrible, the story super generic, and everything looked just kind of bland and safe feeling.

It has set fun sandbox elements though, and I might have a go on PC in a sale, or with a cheap month of gamepass, but it just doesn't have the same feel of being a major gaming event like a new Halo used to.

"Where there is courage, there is hope." A nice way of summing up the effort they put into cleaning this game up and the renewed hope this trailer is giving some of us.

The ending exchange, "Is everyone trying to kill you?" "It kinda seems like it." So cheesy, but I couldn't resist laughing.

It's great to see humor back in spades, a key component to the series' appeal for me. There was a good bit of it in the trailer and I loved every second of it, gave it more of that old school feel.

One of my only gripes is that there wasn't a few extra seconds of time dedicated to showcasing how the various enemies interact with you, each other and the environments to sell the AI. To piggy-back off what @Stilton Disco said above, the dialogue between the new AI and Chief did seem a little weak or phoned in - passable, not exactly "OMG I need more" levels of hype.

Visuals obviously improved and the larger sandboxes are another step in the right direction.

This checked almost all the boxes. Credit where it's due, 343i did a great job shining up this project.

Concerns

Mission Variety and Mission Skill - is this gonna be like farcry 6 where you go to a facility take it over by killing everything and repeat? I would like to see some optional on how you can approach the mission and complete it. Also what type of missions are there?

Customization - Can MC be customized to make you're own spartan. What about weapon upgrades and customization? Can new cortana be customized? Can vehicles be customized?

Special Skills - What special skills can be summoned to help you in a fight? Can you call in reinforcements on the wim? What about a bombing barrage?


All these things I need to know.
 
Definitely a noticeable improvement in the character models and lighting in this new trailer. Combat on-foot and in the air also look fun. Especially with the grappleshot and thruster.
 
If the story leak is true, the final boss will be interesting and this should add a lot to the lore.
 
Really this better be a good story. I'm hoping the leaks are somewhat true....

that we may meet a surviving Precursor or the Primordial. The problem with that would be that they are god-like beings but it could be in a weakened state.

I mean I'm kind tired of the same old Covenant and Forerunner Prometheans.

Hoping they move the story forward and give us something epic. Halo Infinite needs to go BIG now, both in scale and story.

Down the line I'd also like to see a whole new subset of games revolving around the ancient humans. It's basically Halo's Old Republic or Wh40k's Age of Technology. Lots to explore there and offer up a whole new experience.

There's a friggin glitch in the cutscene...

Timestamped... Look at his headset...


Or is he holding it with his left hand?

EDIT: Disregard. He was holding it with his left hand... Look, in my defense, my 3 year old is at this stage where he likes to make this wining whimpering noise whenever he doesn't like something or he want's something he can't have and he's triggering the crap out of me right now so I'm in a mood.
 
Man, it's hard for me to give praise, even as a massive lifelong fan, because I think this game has been mishandled behind the scenes, I don't like the terrain (graphically and in terms of biome detail and diversity - buildings, vehicles and other geometry and textures, look amazing so far though) and I'm just preparing myself for an sjw wreck but I can't deny that the gameplay actually feels really tight so far in MP. I like it a lot. A lot a lot. Hopefully this transfers over to the campaign as well.

My hype is finally building. I have been lukewarm to the game until I played the MP

I hate 343 and the new Halo and yet, it is me who was chosen by someone to make the OT. Pray for me, lads. Pray for my soul. I'll do my best but I'll hate ever second of it.

Hyperbole obviously, but I'm sure you get me.
