E3 2018: Microsoft Announces Halo: Infinite

in gaming •  6 years ago 

The Master Chief is back, baby! Microsoft has revealed the announcement trailer for Halo: Infinite, the sixth entry in the saga of Master Chief.

The trailer itself doesn't reveal anything in terms of gameplay, or story, but it does reveal something very interesting, which is the location of the game. It's on a brand new Halo ring. Which, if you finished the legendary campaign of Halo 5: Guardian, a task I couldn't be bothered to do because of many reasons, wouldn't be a surprise.

The Halo ring in Halo: Infinite looks very reminiscent of the original ring players explored in Halo: Combat Evolved. There are lots of forest areas, with large green pastures, and what seems to be forerunner buildings in the distance. After the trailer shows the new location, it pans down to some UNSC marines exploring the newly found Halo ring. They let off an orange flare, which catches the attention of the handsome Master Chief. Blue beams of energy begin to launch from the forerunner buildings as Master Chief makes his way to the UNSC soldiers in a Warthog. The trailer wraps up with a panning shot revealing that this game will be taking place on a new Halo ring.

Halo: Infinite will be the third game developed by 343 Industries, whose Halo entries have had a mixed reception from critics and fans alike. Halo 4 was a promising start, but Halo 5: Guardians was seen by many, myself included, as a departure from what made the franchise great. It will be interesting to see whether 343 Industries addresses the criticisms from Halo 5: Guardians in their latest entry into the series.

The announcement trailer looks interesting, but we won't know about any meaningful changes until a gameplay trailer is released. I for one, hope for a return to form in Halo: Infinite. The world needs Master Chief.

I really like the movie "halo" when he (masterchef) ran outta ammo, saving those cadets!

Good times haha! Thanks for dropping by!

Halo 5 felt different for sure, but after just getting used to all the new gameplay and mechanics I've started to enjoy it! Guess I'm in the minority. Pumped as hell to see how 343 approaches the gameplay. Will it stray even further into an unseen halo playstyle or will it harken back to the originals? The trailer today didn't show us shit, so I'll be eagerly awaiting a more detailed vid.

Indeed, trailer was rather cryptic but none the less, atleast it is in the works right? haha. Thanks for dropping by!

Yea that's exactly what I told my friends who were more pissed than me that we didn't see gameplay. At least it's in the works!

Halo Infinite was definitely a great game to kick off Microsofts press conference. But I have to say that I am more hyped about Gears 5 than this. I was just missing gameplay footage. Guess we will see more of it at E3 2019 ;).

Gears 5 was an amazing announcement! I'm sure alot of Halo fans will be rejoicing today haha. Thanks for dropping by!
