Halo Infinite [Fall 2021] [XO, XBSX|S, PC, XGP]

Wow, the frametimes have massively improved since last weeks preview. The game feels MUCH smoother now on PC.

 

I find the marketing speak of "flight" really wanky. The YouTubers seem to repeat the terminology too.

If it's an apple, call it an apple.

Otherwise, the game looks barren but a lot of fun.

 

where do you download that beta? can't find it anywhere

 

I think you have downloaded insider app from store and download halo thru the insider app

 

Agree with the use of the term flight. There's something about the term that doesn't work for me either lol. As far as it looking barren are you talking about this map specifically? Or all maps because this is the only one that comes to mind as somewhat barren. It's actually a pretty fun map though especially if you can pick up the sniper. Wide open and easy to pick guys off
Behemoth

 

Its probably the best and most solid looking mp focused FPS right now, not bad at all and a healthy improvement over last years flat looking demo.

 

Agree, it's much improved and it's going to look even better once it officially releases. As a longtime Halo fan I love what 343 has done with Infinite, and making this a free to play game is going to bring a ton of new fans into the Halo universe. For me personally I think this is the best Halo release since Reach and will be by far 343's best Halo release to date.

 

It's a lot of fun and looks better than the multiplayer

 

Is the sp campaign out for public testing? I'm only able to fly along with the testflights for mp

 

Finally experienced the big map.

Its so fun! Feels like a battlefield lite. Or a larger destiny 1 combined arms.

I wonder if this big map with vehicle will be popular in infinite, and hopefully will make bungie change their stance on vehicles on pvp and bring large maps from D1 to D2... And maybe bring SRL back.

 

I really like how the guns feel in mp. Headshots with pistol is sooo satisfying you can almost feel impact of the bullet. They nailed gunplay IMO. Another thing that is very good is visible confirmation of where are you hitting enemy different part of the armor glow more intense when shield is not broken yet, really cool and useful effect. Game looks sooo clean and sharp it’s a pleasure to watch and play. I am sure SP will be even more visually pleasing. I didn’t expect much tbh after reveal fiasco but now it’s most definitely most anticipated game for me.

 

Oh and the voice lines are funny as hell when you pick up heavy weapon (I think it’s called barista that shots giant nails /arrows ) it says “ kebab them!” Lol. While driving banshee and killing enemies by driving on them it says “ you are an artist and this vehicle is your brush”

 

nope not even internal . Think they are going to just drop it like an atom bomb onto the market at this point. They are being extremely tight lipped about it

 

I can't wait for the campaign! I keep gushing about the textures as I'm playing. Literally just stopping and looking sometimes. I don't even know if on a 16:9 display it will scale properly enough to appreciate all the detail that is actually there that I see on my screen. It's incredible looking in motion!

 

Cool, cant wait, always loved Halo's SP campaigns in special the early ones. Im not so much into singplayer these days but for Halo i can make an exception

Looks stunning right, wrote it before this one needs to be played (in motion) to appreciate the visuals. Your shot looks amazing, Infinite's a notch or two above what BF2042 does and thats a paid online experience.

 

Just a reminder to adjust your settings if you haven't already.

First up is changing the FOV. I think default is 72. You should use at least 90. If you're on SeriesX you can easily handle 100. After that its preference issue, so If on a beefy PC and if you can handle it try 120 FOV.

Next up is Look Acceleration. This is a delay before movement kicks in. Set it to 5. This means no delay.

Next is 4 settings for Controller Deadzone. Set them to 0. If you have some drift issues bump em up slowly, 1 then 3 then 5 until it's fine.

Next is several Sensitivity settings. Try using 7.5.

 

Does the daylight change like in the original reveal or did that get dropped?

 

They didn't show that for multiplayer did they?
