Halo Infinite campaign level select coming, says 343

Halo Infinite campaign level select will be added to the game at a later date, 343 Industries has told Stevivor, meaning players will be able to replay missions without the need to start the game from scratch.

[darthv72]

Well that is good to hear. There is a thread that was posted 20 minutes before this one, that talks about how you cant replay missions. So in essence that one was posted before they knew it was coming. https://n4g.com/news/245649...

[Snookies12]

Wow, yeah, I posted on that one that said it WASN'T coming. Saying I was disappointed by that... Glad to see it's actually coming! I love campaigns that have that level/mission select feature.

[4Sh0w]

Both for me first and second playthrough absolutely "going it alone". I just prefer that way to play at my own pace & prove myself, lol. After that I loooooove co-op with friends.

The level select should of been there from the start though...shouldn't be that hard.

[Thunder_G0d_Bane]

The bigger missing thing is co op. I’ve always played halo campaigns co op so I’ll wait for that before I play this game.

[darthv72]

Never played co-op on a halo game ever. I play them as the lone super soldier.... the way it was intended. So Im ready for tomorrow (8th)

[ColtPSSX]

Hmmm lots of missing features for halo it seems. Hopefully they add it before I beat it.

[Snookies12]

I mean, level select would be included "after you beat it" regardless, right?

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Absolutely no thought put into some of these comments.

[ColtPSSX]

And what if I beat the game before they add the feature?? I’ll have to wait right??
I don’t get how my comment was too hard for you to understand?
Did you really think I wanted to use it before I beat the game. You guys have to have common sense lol

@guilty

So what happens if I beat the game and they didn’t add the feature yet?
Don’t worry I’ll wait for your answer and please puts some thought into it.

[InUrFoxHole]

ColtPSSX
The guy is asking a legit question. Try being less emo about it my man.

[Aarontk]

God of War didn’t have mission replay, neither did Ghost of Tsushima until it was added this year via an update. Not uncommon to have QoL updates after release.

[ColtPSSX]

What is your point?
Are you assuming I didn’t have a problem with that? That’s why I played GOw once and Ghost I don’t think ghost have it. But they have new game plus

[senorfartcushion]

@ColtPSSX They’re accusing you of being a fanboy for another console.

Nerd stuff on their part.

[senorfartcushion]

I’ve just started the campaign. I’ve just rescued the Mexican guy and forced him to go with me to the new base thing the AI Cortana thing found. Is the game open world or something else? Because I thought I’d be going there myself but a cutscene has triggered 😅

[CaptainHenry916]

6 years in development, you would think this should have made it in already. Still trying to find out if you can preloaded or download it on PC yet?

[DJStotty]

6 years of development, and your still trying to downplay/bash Halo at any given opportunity.

Whether it be Campain/MP/MT's/Battlepass

Campaign is solid, MP is solid, just enjoy it.

[Sgt_Slaughter]

How was this much of the game missing with a year long delay (No co-op, no Forge, basic features like individual playlists, no level select, etc.)? If development was so far off (development hell that can be compared to Anthem from what I read), what were we going to get if this launched last year?

343 needs to figure out how to develop properly, I can't believe a AAA dev that's one of Microsoft's most important has had so many botches of their main franchise.

[DJStotty]

I can't believe even with all this missing it is pulling in solid 9/10's!!!

Just imagine if it was "finished" it would be 10/10 across the board.

Great game, roll on tomorrow (high five?)

[IRetrouk]

👀 what about the shadows that pop in and out from a few feet away? The lighting system that doesn't light enemies properly? The broken vrr for the 120fps mode that drops drastically? The vrs that makes the game look fuzzier than it should?, The strange pauses? The 30fps lip sync and reload/climbing animations? the weird stuttering on the hand and parts of weapons?, none of that an issue either?

[DJStotty]

@IRetrouk

Funny, none of that mentioned in the reviews?? What you are implying is the game has major bugs, and is unfinished, in which case would not pull in such positive reviews, going off your bias history and hate of xbox, i'm calling lies on this one.

[DJStotty]

@Iretrouk

DF mention the drops to 80fps when in 120hz mode, and the drop in resolution, but nothing about the rest of what you claim. What format of VRR are you using? I will be starting this game tonight so will update if i notice anything major, i will test the 120hz using AMD freesync premium.

[IRetrouk]

👀 you need to stop the cap, absolutely everything I mentioned is in the digital foundry vid, the fact you are trying to say it isn't is comical, but expected.

Bias and history of hate..... telling the truth isn't bias dj lol, you aint really one to be talking about bias though...

My 100,000 gamerscore speaks for itself, my gamertag as always is in my bio🤷‍♂️

[DJStotty]

@IRetrouk

I've not seen any of what you mentioned in my first 3 hours playthrough so far, i mean your more than welcome to watch the livestream yourself for validation. I started off in performance, and was getting a pretty consistent 100-119hz before i switched to quality mode (my Samsung TV tells me the FPS whilst in Game Mode).

I mean wow, 100K gamerscore, i'm currently at 280K, what does that show?

As for my "supposed" history of bias and hate? please elude? so me praising PS5, the dualsense for arguably being the most innovative controller this gen, praise of horizon FW is bias and hate? Just because i am an xbox fan first and foremost, does not mean i "hate" other platforms, i just call out people's BS and fake data on this site, and peeps can't handle it.

PS, you still did not note which format of VRR you were using whilst getting the poor performance, nor what platform you were running on? base xbox one? PC? Series X? Or have you just read/listened to a review and ran with it?

Edit : ah, i see what you have done, you have taken little issues across all the versions, and compiled it to make it look like the game is parity across the platforms.

Series X does not have 30fps, so i'm guessing this issue is from the Xbox One X/Series S
VRR drops are noted to go to a low of 80FPS

"a majority of traversal and indoor missions run at 120fps with no problem, bar minor dips beneath. That said, performance fluctuates more wildly in battle, or when the scene is generally busier in general, pushing as to a low of 80fps."

(From Digital Foundry)

[DJStotty]

To close, i'm going to carry on playing a great game rather than correspond with someone who argues for the sake of arguments sake.

[IRetrouk]

You waffle so much crap it's unbelievable, John was playing on a series x and pointed out everything I said, you can deny it as much as you like, its there for all to go watch.

My gamerscore clearly shows I play plenty on xbox, that was the point of me mentioning it, pretty obvious to be honest.

I just called you bias, you were the one who said history of hate and bias not me....Ofcourse your not bias dj lol, you just lie about what digital foundry found wrong with halo on series x and can't accept it, you didn't seem to provide proof for my bias and hate, why do I need to prove urs?

Oh don't worry I'll be playing it too, I've almost finished with forza 5s single player stuff.

[DJStotty]

@IRetrouk

By all means, knock yourself out, quote me on any comment i have made, where i have called any Sony/Nintendo game in a negative way.

I'll wait right here......

"digital foundry found wrong with halo on series x and can't accept it"

How is the Series X getting 30fps stuttering when the lowest FPS is 60?

[IRetrouk]

Clearly don't know what you are talking about and are just scrambling for excuses... funny, you seen gt 7s shadow pop no problem, along with 2d trees that turned with the player and texture pop that wasn't actually there... no bias though dj, none at all...

Watch the video and educate yourself.

@Iretrouk

"you seen gt 7s shadow pop no problem, along with 2d trees that turned with the player and texture pop that wasn't actually there"

Don't think i mentioned shadow pop, just the foliage issues on GT7, which not only i saw, but literally everyone else, sure you just make stuff up as you go along. Below is exactly what i said about GT7 :-

"The 2D trees have pop in textures around most of the track, they almost look plastic.

The car/track details seem spot on, but i feel more work needs to be done on the environment"

And i quote (myself) "The car/track details seem spot on" but yeah, keep painting that fabrication that i am biased, even though i just stated GT7's car and track detailing is spot on, spin that narrative.

[Hofstaderman]

This highlights the issue with the internet age of gaming... developers releasing incomplete games and the "we will patch it in later" mentality. What about people with no internet or bad internet?

[darthv72]

They likely wont be using a modern system but instead one from the last couple of gens. Where internet reliance was a non issue.

[Hofstaderman]

Ah you a Don Mattrick fan.

[darthv72]

^^haha not really. But i am a classic gaming fan. SNES, Genesis, PS, Saturn, DC, 3DO... where you just played the games and didnt worry about patches or dlc.

[Tacoboto]

People with no internet in 2021 probably have concerns much greater than a video game needing a patch.

[VenomUK]

@Hofstaderman said “what about people with no internet or bad internet?”

“Fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity…”

[ChasterMies]

“Internet age of gaming”

Internet has been around since the mid 90s. Incomplete games on release has also been around since the 90s. What’s different now is the scale of the companies that are releasing incomplete games. Microsoft spent $7.5B for Bethesda but can’t spare the resources to add mission selection, co-op, and forge at launch.

[GoodGuy09]

Geez a ton of traditional things are "at a later date". Cant imagine how bad this game wouldve been if it released a year ago lol.

[senorfartcushion]

Weird how the reviews just aren’t being affected by missing features. I’m declaring a feature missing if a dev says they need to patch it in later.

[darthv72]

Probably because those features don't have any impact on the campaign or multiplayer. Consider them bonus features and usually bonus stuff goes unnoticed. Like the extras disc in a movie set. Majority will watch the movie while the minority will also watch the deleted scenes, making of and other stuff on that bonus features disc.

[4Sh0w]

This is something that should have definitely made it for launch, it cant be that hard to implement.

That said I dont get ps folks take that the campaign/game is bad without it. Sure its better with it but how can you say for a reviewer or others thats its NOT a 9 or 10 without it???

[senorfartcushion]

darthv72

It affects it for me.

4Sh0w

If you can’t own the console, then you’ll naturally hate the other, and anything could set that off. If the open world is exploitable without the missions, then it’s not all bad, but imo every game with missions should have replayable missions. Every single one. Spider-Man on PS4 not having them broke my heart. It was like owning the best Spider-Man tv show ever created and only being able to watch episode 8 after starting from episode 1 all over again. Some missions I loved, but the chance of me ever playing them are slim, and if I were to dedicate the 50 hours to, say, fight Martin Lee again, I’d only be able to do it once.

[4Sh0w]

Senor I dont hate PS5, check my history I think PS5/Sony is great I just *prefer Xbox/Microsoft, Halo for example is one of my all time favorite games, just comes down to what I play most. I say ps folks because of course Ive been around here long enough to see certain names who no matter what it is good or bad they generally follow Xbox news with negatve comments so its hard of course for me to take them seriously....same for anyone who are always negative about ps.

MY POINT here is that your personal feelings dont matter, every individual review & score is based on what the reviewers experience with the game was. Lets say Ive played and reviewed every shooter this year and lets say shooter X did have co-op, lets say it also had mission selection out of the gate, &, etc, etc but lets say the gunplay was avg, meh story, it had bugs, etc so I gave it a 7, now lets say I reviewed Halo next, no co-op, no mission select but WHAT IS THERE BLEW ME AWAY, I can still easily give it a 9 or even a 10 because I FELT it was still amazing. Even 10 games are not perfect, no they are just the among the few select best games in the industry. The only caveat I would add is that no matter how a professional reviewer judges games he must BE CONSISTENT if not then his/her reviews are less creditable because from a consumer/gamer point of view it becomes difficult to follow his rationale other than I like this, I like that but I basically change my mind from game to game -which doesn't say much professionally.

[lellkay]

LOOOOL

[Cunnra]

At this point it feels like half the game will be missing at launch…
You only get once chance to make a first impression, delay it until it’s ready.

[Jiub]

I've tried to keep myself "unspoiled" for story/gameplay stuff, but I have to wonder how this is going to work on an open world-ish game.

[CrimsonWing69]

Why is this a missing feature? It seems like something so basic to include.
