"Went to a thread here on this forum and saw someone post this picture of what seems to be a Halo game with a TPS aspect.
If this is real then I can't wait it looks amazing for a title early in progress.
Also to give you guys a reason why 343 Industries is a team to keep eyes on is because of the number of professional people who are experienced from AAA titles working there."
Halo Infinite developer 343 Industries has moved to explain a recent microtransactions price hike following a community backlash.
This smell like passing down the cost of acquisitions down to the consumer at all cost in any way shape or form 🤷🏿
@1Victor:
Given that under best conditions - i.e. no more such spending, it'll take decades, what do you expect?
Hell, they just tried to revoke GP for their employees.
And you can always count on the Xbox fans defending them and the price hike. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed Halo Infinite multiplayer
Yeah, no excuse for this garbage 343i... I haven't played Infinite's multi-player in a long while. Downloaded it again on PC only to find that the PC port is absolutely broken right now with like 3-5 minute load-in times just for the main menu. Now hearing this, I went ahead and uninstalled it lol. Wish they'd stop shooting themselves in the foot with this title.
so they made several changes how the helmets etc work, however, ive never seen anyone raising prices in a shop due to changes THEY made.
The store price hike is stupid but halo infinite mp is currently at its best. Nobody has to buy the cosmetics as they offer alot of free content.
Fuck that stupid argument. If you pay full price for a game you should get everything the game has to offer.
Last I checked the game released at full price. I know MP is free but then that makes the release highly overpriced.
@Crows
It totally was. I got suckered by Halo Infinite. All i got was a data disc and a half assed campaign.
@Crows90
Does the single-player portion of the game (what ppl bought) offer Microtransaction?
As far I recall the answer is no.
So ppl got what they paid for meaning a complete campaign that is comparable to a lot of AAA games like Resident Evil, Wolfenstein, Doom, Mortal Kombat, etc.
Now regarding the FREE multiplayer part, I agree it's a stupid move that will probably do more harm than good since the game is (despite what several N4G members would like you to believe) in good health, and like Gaming4Life pointed out no one is forcing ppl to buy theses items.
Any person who thinks that any game content created and released after launch should be free... go ahead a justify that... I'll be waiting.
I can see the argument for them selling shit immediately at launch, but even still that is weak.
You buy a game knowing exactly what is included when you pay it. You should expect nothing else for free.
@ripper
Insomniac released some free costumes for free for Spiderman
Capcom released free next gen upgrades for their Resident Evil games
No Man’s Sky became a new game from all the free DLC
Minecraft has a good amount of free dlc content.
Witcher 3 had some free cosmetics and a mission.
Overwatch has new characters that were free
Arkham Knight had some free costumes and a Batmobile skin
Some people expect free DLC because some companies actually gave free DLC.
@Petebloodyonion they were already charging for items and then they raised the prices on top of that. It wasn’t free to begin with and now they want more $$
@JZRNPG
"@Petebloodyonion they were already charging for items and then they raised the prices on top of that. It wasn’t free to begin with and now they want more $$"
And I said that raising the price was a stupid move and even made an earlier post about how it's the best way to antagonize your customers but it still doesn't change the fact that the multiplayer portion of the game is a FREE to Play game.
In this regard, Gaming4life comments stand correct and Crows comments stand wrong since Nobody paid a dime to play the game (the MP part) and no one is forcing you to buy cosmetics.
And again I totally agree with the sentiment and don't defend MS or 343I on this crappy move.
There is absolutely no reason for ever raising the price of cosmetics. They are some of the quickest assets to create but charge silly prices for them. Its greed. There's no other way to spin it no matter what the game is.
343 Industries will continue to work on the Halo series going forwards, but other studios may get involved in development, it’s been suggested
man what a failure halo wars 2 was the only good thing from this series on xbox one/series
10yr plan new ring that can change over time slipspace engine all gone now halo is another steam game sitting in the background.
Kids/teens today have no clue they halo we grew up with.
If a cod dev gets involved then that will be worse current cod out now is only popular because its the best out of the crap pile. i launched it the other day 4 cash shop popups one unskipable add then 30min trying to find the game through all the mt's.
Your right, i once played Halo Reach, at a LAN party, for 32 hours straight! It was no joke!
(with food breaks, but no sleep) it was so good, I was totally addicted.
Now I'm a PS fan.. ps4 and ps5 have been the best money I ever spent, hands down, in terms of 'fun' & overall 'value'
I hated reach couldn't get into it but Halo 3, them all nighters was so much fun. Custom games with a full party was some of the best times I'll remember.
I remember sitting around and playing hours of Halo 2 daily with my friends just MP match after match for weeks on end. Was an incredible memory to this day.
It's good to see that 343 cannot handle the task and are looking to do something. But how many years have gone by where there has not only been nothing to show, but issues. Microsoft is the issue here. And as of just 1mth ago with Refall, it has been proven again. Guess what,,, Phil S is NOT a developer and not does he have any legs to say a damn word about development. Wake up people.
crazy how indifferent ms is about one of the biggest franchises in gaming. it looks pretty bad when you don't even have a clear plan for your flagship title. ms just has no idea how to make good games anymore.
Gamers have a bone to pick with 343 Industries, with Halo Infinite's hit registration in online matches remaining completely broken.
Hit registration broken is one thing. The kill sound, or some people call it a "hit noise" annoying ass bird chirp is what broke the deal for me. They could at least provide an option to turn that squirrel fart noise off in the settings. But no, every single solitary headshot kill *SQUEAK*, *CHIRP*, *BEEP*
Not having any issues with Dsycn.
This is a connection problem...and the video in question was posted 300 days ago.
Why report on it now?
Gamerant is another one of those BuzzFeed like so called video game publications that hire freelances to create articles in mass without any credible source.
I'm glad buzz feed got shut down because of their slizzle method, can't wait for these types of website to run out of money.
How are you going to complain about misinformation when your comment is loaded with misinformation? The video is literally 5 days old. The subreddit post is filled with people joking about it not being desync (gaming chair, not enough rgb, etc.) and people saying how crap desync is. People are clearly still having issues.
Your side rant about specific sites doesn't add to or support your anecdotal opinion or deny the opinions of others who provide actual video proof.
i find it so weird, that one of the best selling xbox franchises, got this disaster of a game, even the first trailer they showed was nothing more than a complete fail
Looks pretty epic, but I don't think I should approve since it is from a forum. "Halo: Nemesis" I'm having trouble believing this is legit though.
Looks pretty good but its sorta hard to tell if its fake or not. Looks pretty legit.
Please be a TPS, please be a TPS, please be a TPS!! Even if it's just a spin-off, I'd buy it right now
I think it's too obvious that it's fake now that I look at it. This comes out day after those other fake screens, the edges around the foliage and rocks look smoothed out (spot healing tool), background looks like something outta Mass Effect, compass says NO instead of NE (whats up with that?), Sans Serif isn't a text you really see used in video games especially HUD's, crosshair in the triangle doesn't look centered either =\
A third person Halo game does sound awesome though, and reading the post there is a ton of great people working at 343 Industries it seems.
tps halo would be kinda lame
