The moment a lot of Halo fans have been waiting for has just arrived. Microsoft has released the first official gameplay video for Halo: Infinite, packing 8 minutes of in-game footage.
Halo: Infinite will be using a new engine, the Slipspace Engine. As 343 Industries noted, the engine is developed with PC in mind. Moreover, the team aims to treat PC gamers as first-class citizens. It’s also worth noting that the first in-engine trailer for Halo: Infinite, that came out in 2019, was running on the PC.
Halo Infinite continues the story of the Master Chief as the third chapter of the Reclaimer Saga. According to the team, this is a direct sequel to Halo 5: Guardian. I haven’t played Halo 5 (as it never came out on the PC) but from what I can see, we’ll be fighting the Banished in Halo: Infinite.
Halo Infinite will give players more freedom than ever before to explore a sprawling Halo ring. This demo shows off just a small section of the open and expansive world we’ve crafted to deliver an epic Master Chief experience. The scale of the environment accessible to players is several times larger than that of the last two Halo games combined. The game will also have hidden rewards. Players will be also able to assault Banished fortifications in brand new ways.
Halo: Infinite releases in Holiday 2020.
Enjoy!

btw dragon quest 11 definitive edition is coming to pc
i dont understand why they already remaster the game that come out 2 years ago….
Its not a remaster more like how xcom 2 war of the chosen was to xcom 2
God damn, that looks mediocre. Every single game they showed was sjw mediocrity. Nice job MS.
how this boring franchise has managed to last this long is just fascinating to me.
I never understood the fascination with it. And i used to work at microsoft. They thought i was the Antichrist cause i never liked Halo. I left microsoft right after Xbox One was released, that was my last marketing Gig with them. Remember when i had to sit and act enthusiastic about the Halo remaster anniversary release. ????
sounds terrible.
“I left microsoft right after Xbox One was released, that was my last marketing Gig with them”
Please tell me you sabotaged Microsoft by having contributed to the disastrous ‘TV, TV, TV’ reveal of Xbone by Don Mattrick!
Haha, oh lawd stop it man. I have reasons to believe that while Don M. Business was planned. But, that would’ve been pure genius if I did. That TV train was the dumbest garbage I ever seen from a company. But you’re gonna hate me man, I was on a team that promotes Kinect from its infancy. I know, not my proudest moment. I paid for it too man, had alot of gafs with that device. The worse one was when I was working with celebrities and I had to make them look like they knew what they were doing or as they pretend to love the hell out of the device. Never again man, not gonna lie Marketing is a soulless job. Hence why I moved into operations a while back.
Kinect was a spectacular sales success for a while so the marketing was evidently a triumph. But you rekt Microsoft’s console business in the medium-term, lol!
Its because xbox fanboys. This guys are Shiite people.
It was the only decent FPS in consoles at the time, then COD happens…Halo tried to copy that with Reach and 5 and failed…so now they rely on nostalgia with this new Borderlands, i mean Halo.
So anybody else feel disapointed by this entire showcase? I was expecting sooo much more honestly, they had nothing to show. Not only does Halo look super generic the entire showcase was CGI trailers. Even Forza is supposedly only in early development.
No, it’s just nobody cares about this console franchise
No, E3 showcases have been nothing but a*s for 8 years now I expected it to be this bad outside the STALKER reveal which made it even worse.
Focus is all on GAAS, small development budgets and political ideologies.
One is better off avoiding any console that isn’t a Nintendo one
Sorry but Halo games not surprising anymore nowadays. Try again MS.
CASUAL GAMEPLAY INTENDED FOR CASUAL PLAYERS.
Looks dull as hell, i dunno why but the “vistas” remind me a lot of Minecraft minus the pixelated artstyle.
The lack of gore might come from the fact that it was a livestream, some platforms don’t allow too much gore.

2020 vs 2007 ….. next gen …..
Indeed https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/af0e2efa915fcc4a463ecde0f41f65038e418b4d4b616bb91b1924c47c25e109.png
This is embarrassing
The character models look alright, the environment and the static lighting however are absolutely godawful.
Dunno, the brute doesnt have even hair, now is a shaved white gorilla. The materials are off, kinda like Mass Effect Andromeda/Rage 2…maybe is the colors, just look the armor. The textures have to be on console settings AKA mid to low, otherwise i can’t find an explanation (the game being open world now is not an excuse in my book for 2020)
NEXT GEN

Underwhelming.. Not what I had hoped for to say the least..
It is funny microsoft was marketing xbsx a beast machine but everything looked like last gen title
Also funny how all of the xbox fanboys yelling about 12TF on every PS5 article are now nowhere to be found…???
Halo looks weirder and weirder as resolution goes up. The art style was never meant for decent displays, framerates or resolutions. Honestly, they just need a new art style. Technically, not bad. Open world at 60 fps is nice too see on a console. There were some stutters, but it’s not finished. Overall, pretty disappointed in everything MS, except the actual hardware. Shame there will be nothing to play on it :/
This has been their big problem since late in the 360’s life. Nothing worth playing. I’ll check this out on PC, but yeah it doesn’t look too amazing. At least they’re somewhat jazzing up Chief’s play mechanics a bit. He doesn’t appear to move around like a human tank anymore…
Yeah… They seemed to add a little dash and grapple hook. The slow movement was always a put off for me in the series.
What a F*CKN joke. Totaly agree with you guys, this look like hmm well crap :/
Nothing nextgen at all!
I never understood the fascination with this franchise, A seven foot tall dude running around in a green metallic suit. I don’t get it, this game looks like it’s on Rails.
You had to be there when it first came out on PC (Combat Evolved) or Xbox with the community. One of the series that truly changed FPS gaming.
There’s nothing really spectacular about Halo at this point outside of its smart AI though.
Be very specific here. It changed CONSOLE FPS gaming. PC was already well ahead of what Halo was doing. Halo was still fun in its own way. But it really has always been a somewhat mediocre entry in the history of FPS titles.
What game at the time was as big (world, playlist, modes, online etc), as customizable, as good looking and as inspirational as Halo CE all at the same time?
There wasn’t. No need to downplay what the game brought to the table. Everything after CE was eh.
Half Life and No One Lives Forever were pretty cool!
Oh of course. This is NOT to take from other games that came out around that time (others were game changers too)!
Unreal Tournament did all if that and more
Yep. For the worse.
Classic DSO take. Worst possible view of everything. Your worldview is poisoned try deep breathing.
DSO is a PC-centric site. If you want something that’s more console-centered then it’s not the place for you.
Name 3 contributions that Halo did to the genre overall, not just in consoles.
Same, was just a new franchise back then for noob kiddos
Same, was just a new franchise back then for noob kiddos
Gameplay was ok, different from everything else at the time with different weapons having different properties and some great attention to detail, also some good lore and a tightly packed Aliens inspired narrative.
Honestly, the sequels are praised but they’re pretty a*s, marketing and being a competent console shooter is what made Halo have such a big vocal fanbase.
Well of course a guided demo will look like it’s on rails. We’re seeing specifically what they want us to see. But the game will be open world with a day/night cycle so it should present some decent exploration. I’m interested to see what the finished game looks like, but the fact that they said in an interview today that the game will be receiving tech upgrades over time just leads me to believe that the game isn’t really done at the moment and should probably just be delayed. They won’t do that, but they should.
That looks absolutely awful, the texture work and lighting makes everything looks like a f*king CGI cartoon, absolutely disgusting.
Halo 2 Aniversary on PC looks better that this hehehe.
-annoying Indian accent side character, from bad a*s marines to indian woke sensitive gay character
-masterchief saying to a guy we’ll be together? what the hell? masterchief is now gay?
-is this game supposed to showcase a 2080 SUPER/Ti level of performance console?, because the graphics looks like halo 5, textures are awful
-gunplay was somewhat good and satisfying, but the lack of gore and blood ruined the atmosphere
-the iconic HALO gun is now replaced by a generic gun
doesnt look next gen to me…
The visuals look ok, but it’s nothing wow. It barely looks better than Halo 4?
Crysis 3 looks 10X better than this and it came out in 7 years ago!
“Next-gen” LMFAO 😀
Despite having somewhat sharp textures it still looks like a console game for 12-year olds.
The art style looks really cartoony. The biggest disappointment seems to be the human weapon audio. Everything sounds weak and dry with no powerful echo like the weapons in Halo 3.
On the bright side, someone edited a screenshot of the gameplay trailer and adjusted the colors and it looks A LOT better: https://i.redd.it/zjnayf1oxnc51.jpg
Hopefully 343 can update the color pallette before launch.
Also, the gameplay trailer seems to be from an older build of the game as shown below. Left is gameplay demo, right is trailer: https://i.imgur.com/UVNCk9P.jpg
You seriously need to get your brain checked.
I think you might be profoundly autistic.
The Halo demo had exactly two humans in it. One of them was the main character and the other was a normal looking man.
What part of that demo is “SJW injected” or has “POC points”?
I have to say that was so disappointing I saw nothing worth buying a series X for or that even remotely looked like it was a next gen game.
I’m not a Destiny fan but this looks pathetic even next to that in it’s current gen form.
