Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
When the Master Chief Collection got good after the certain updates, there had been plenty returning player nostalgia for Halo, but difficult to gauge how many really care about the series now compared to like back in the day. Halo got dethroned after Reach or so at least, and only declined afterward with the mixed releases it got at that point. Infinite from the looks of it is at least something of an attempted return to form.
When I eventually played the first Halo (the PC version that came out)...I didn't understand why people loved it. The reason is because it's not Half Life and similar immersive PC games that came out around that time. I hate the Flood and most of the levels in that game (still think a few levels design are some of the worst).
But I picked up Master Chief Collection and have grown to respect the series on what it did. The combat was pretty awesome, it revolutionized a few gameplay systems and I find the games have gotten better because I don't have the love for the first game as some people do. I actually liked Halo 5 because it was a ton of fun to play with friends.
The combat in the demo looked good. Yes, the graphics were OK but I'm interested in playing. It also seems that the demo is the E3 demo and most likely will not look like the end product. I have heard putting together demo's take a lot of work and most likely COVID has caused problems trying to finish the game and didn't have enough time to throw together another one.
Halo 4 is good. I liked it a lot. Halo 5 was fun but entirely forgettable. I think Halo Reach is the best game in the series. Halo 3 is the best game of the master chief saga.
Very interesting....I guess they want the MP mode to be as populated as it can be.
So free MP, no loot boxes and the rest of game available Day 1 on Game Pass...it could be a lot of people playing it.
I wonder if its going to be cross play.
But there is a battle pass though.. I guess that's technically microtransactions...however I played Division 2, which has a Season Pass and I never see the need for them.....

Wouldn't be surprised if the Halo community were responsible getting it pushed back whining about the graphics so damn much that it became viral. Much as those "gamers" stress that it's all about the games, have you seen that grass texture, etc.?! And now they whine it's delayed. Guys, make up your frikkin minds.

I agree with you regarding graphics and flip flopping. Wasn't it all about FPS...who cares about 4K..want 60FPS....MS...goes here it is! And MP can be played at 120FPS like all those masterrace PC dudes love to talk about...
But that doesn't look next gen enough.....
I honestly believe MS thought there was a chance of releasing this year but COVID screwed it up. This week was probably the end date before going gold
For Series X release, it's not unusual for systems to be sold without a killer title (first party that is) and I believe PS3, PS4 and Xbox One were released with nothing too big. PS5 launch lineup doesn't look to rosy either.

Hearing that playable Elites won't be returning in this installment either surprise, surprise. I don't get it. It can't be that complicated for 343 if Bungie could do it for 3 games. Makes as much sense if you decided to get rid of the Locust from Gears' multiplayer.
343's excuse was shit too. "We want this to be about the Spartan experience", as if Reach wasn't literally a Spartan-centered story, and it still had Elites in multiplayer.
I've seen some defend it or say it's understandable because muh hitbox differences with the Elites (there's hitbox differences with some of the Locust/Swarm too though and Gears still has them in multiplayer), but you can just limit them to certain game types then for balancing reasons like what Reach did. Still leaving them out entirely though like what 343's done is a copout.
Obviously this sole thing is not gonna be what hurts Infinite but the fact that 343 refuses to listen to 10 years worth of fans asking for Elites to be playable again seems like a sign of worse things to come. If fans stay as vocal about it as they are now though, perhaps them being playable can be re-added in a later update (this is gonna be a service game with a long life after all). Dual wielding I can understand going away at least even though I liked it as an occasional mixup, but snubbing the Elites this long is an injustice. I didn't give it that much thought at the time with Halo 4 and stuff, but if Infinite is to be a return to form for Halo like it's boasted, then it needs to have returning staples such as that.
No campaign co-op and forge at launch. That won't come until 3 to 6 months later. It's like the Halo 5 launch but worse, or they just want the game to be dead a half year into launch.
Needless to say unfinished games getting launched is tiresome, especially after how many times this one had already been delayed which makes it all the more unforgivable. Apart from MCC, Halo's still in a dark age where I'm concerned.
Gotta be 2 for me, but I also have nostalgia for it. I think it just refined Halo 1's formula so goddamn much it was hard to go back to it, and Halo 3 only made a couple of improvements, even if it was mechanically a better game.
No split-screen for Halo will always be a bad choice, I won't play any more games in the series until they add that back.
No co-op period for Infinite at launch also means no splitscreen at launch, so they ironically did co-opers dirty two new games in a row. Shame 343, for shame.
Yeah, is kind of a toss up for me between Halo 2 and 3 as to which game was best. Reach was pretty good too though.
