Me

Kind of, there's not much for me without proper infection and more custom games modes.

I don’t, the game is way worse than 3 in my opinion. Doesn’t mean it’s bad, it’s just I have limited time and I would rather play 3 than infinite.

Still play campaign once or twice a month.

How did you get a chopper in there? 😳

@@jstudios7203 magic, obviously

@@jamescritchley "In Halo anything diversable that aint a tank can fit anywhere" - That's as much as i got from that.. Lol.

@@jamescritchley bros controller disconnected on him 😭

Tbf he was scoped in with a sniper rifle during the explosion so we missed it.

@@gavinduke2107 Even so, the sound was also underwhelming.

Honestly, that’s what makes it funnier

if it were halo reach the mac cannon shot from the tip of the spear cutscene would be barely fucking audible because a lot of the effects in bungie era games were actually very mid and people just refuse to take off the rose colored glasses

@@lapotato9140 Man I’m not trying to start some dumb shit. All I’m saying is that Explosions from Halo:Reach could be heard from seemingly miles away and they would always chain react and send each other in different directions. This games explosions seem to just all combine into one singular explosion that is for whatever reason quieter than the gun he fired. That’s all

if you crouch it removes you from the motion detector, one must assume that the brute was crouching 🤣

@@oldfag_adventures crouching brute, hidden grunt 😂

@@oldfag_adventures Imagine that. A Spartan II veteran of 35+ years getting snuck up on by Bassus's big ass. 💀 Chief has some explaining to do.

Yeah lmao, went from halo 3 where he saw the arbiter before he uncloaked and got the drop on him to getting jumped atleast 10 times in this one game alone. He’s losing his touch in his old age I guess

@@smugwendigo5123 omg thank you for the laughs. funniest shit I've seen today, really got my day going.

Well get used to it because it happens ALOT in infinite lol

Then instead of using their surprise advantage to mangle you, they just pick you up, scream/monologue at you then throw you across the room so you can kill them. Really poor tactics.

@@GolgariGymBro villains have to give you a chance for a heroic comeback otherwise they’ll just be petty criminals

I just picture a brute like him tip toeing like in an old Scooby Doo episode chuckling to himself.

Don't play any of the Far Cry games, the plot of those hinges on you forgetting you have a gun anytime a custscene begins.

You can. I think mint blitz managed to do it, but I did see a video of it about a week into the game releasing.

Mint blitz has a video called "This is Hilarious" that shows off what happens. It turns out that the gravity hammer was the one that's talking

It wouldn‘t be a cutscene then, just a scripted in-game interaction

@@MisterK9739 I think that guy meant the boss could die in the same way chief could die to enemies in cutscenes except the game could tell you killed him

there are videos of bosses killing themselves during cutscenes

Read the books; despite their size, Brutes are INSANELY fast and agile. They only show up as a brief blip on motion tracking radar and they hit like a freight train, even to Spartans. They're not big lumbering behemoths so much as terrifyingly meaty shadows

yeah same thing with humanity's best ship not noticing the like 5 ships near them before getting rammed into tiny pieces and destroyed. Just good ol 343 writing.

@@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger sure but they still wouldn’t be quiet with all the effort and movement it would take to get to chief that fast.

@@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger 🤓🤓🤓

@@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger That sounds like cap. Official or not, cap.

similar to V2's first fight in Ultrakill, where you can punch a coin at him during his intro cutscebe

Breath of the Empty is broken anyway. I mean , straight to Ganon seriously?! What's the point then? The game needs to chill out & get a story. And some dungeons lol. 6/10. Tears at least looks promising but I really hope it has the actual Zelda content Us long standing fans have come to love. Btw, why you mentioning Zelda on a Halo blog? but then again Breath is so different it feels more like Nintendos Garrys Mod with Link just dropped in there - much like Halo Infinite(ly boring.) So, I guess you have a point lol.

@@netweed09 it’s just an option the players can choose. Does it really bug you that much that some players go straight to Ganon?

@@501sttrooperbmc2 What 'story'? Ok - Mipha & Sidon were cool and the Zora area in general was Great sure. But then?? Collect a few birds eggs, mushrooms and run about watching all your newfound weapons shatter after 5 minutes on an endless cyclic grind to nothing?

@@netweed09 Who plays Zelda for the story? Lol A Link To the Past is way superior than Ocarina and barely has a story.

#Batprep

Excuse me, but your free trial of "Cutscene invulnerability" have just expired.

Especially when during the cutscene you take damage while not being able to do anything💀

A cutscene ambush ambush.

ye

This is one of the most hilarious mental images I've ever conjured

Doesn't make sense as it is physically impossible to interact with the boss during the cutscenes.

@@uhohitsatrap9989 only for us, ai don't count evidently.

@@uhohitsatrap9989 You can see it here: kzfaq.infoZ7bQ5tueo4I?feature=share

Had a similar thing happen to me when I played halo reach. I got a check point on the spaceship mission right before my ship blew up, and every time my game reloaded my ship would just spin out and kill me. Had to start the whole mission over.

@@Feroce Man, wish they had done that with Reach! Moments like this are really funny looking back, but in the moment I remembered dreading starting that mission from scratch. It was the worst mission in the game.

@@BKXIX that happened to me on my first playthrough, I thought the game was broken

ultrakill V2's fight in 1-4, you can damage him by punching coins into him during his intro cutscene and end the fight before it starts

Halo inf= bad

Don't forget that one boss in Metal Gear where if you just sit there for like a few days or something, he just dies of old age and you can keep going.

I agree, when compared to GTAV and Red dead 2 where you're pretty much railroaded into completing missions how the developers tell you to do them, it was such a delight to be able to step back from a fight or even walk away from it to look around for things that might help.

I had trouble with him the first time playing tbh

That grav hammer leap is tough to deal with if you don't cheese him lol.

@@Orinslayer tbh yeah you either cheese him or struggle the entire time

I did this yo all the bosses in the game, excepting the Harbinger, and escharum didnt died instantly, but he ALMOST did

Tbh I didn't find it that hard, just upgraded my shields and ran in with the duelist energy sword, grappled away before he swung the hammer, and repeated until he died. I did die a few times due to bad timing though. Then again I played on heroic

I was hoping for that😂

@@opulenthalo the most intelligent brute be like

This totally works in canon too. If you're going to go confront a mobster, knifing one or more of his tires before walking in makes sense.

Well halo veterans must be idiots than bc this is not how the boss fight was meant to be played and it literally takes the entire challenge away and fun of getting good.

@@c.h.7580 Waste several rounds of ammo, likely lose decent weapons because of their low ammo pool, and probably die a few times learning which of his attacks will rock our shit even at max healt/shields... or be smart and use the environment, which has always been a staple of Halo. Hmmm.... I think I'm gonna go with environment.

@CerulianOfficial Exactly, nothing wrong with that at all. It's no different from filling a warthog with all the marines armed with sniper rifles or SPNKr's and being able to take out anything that way. Game mechanics allow for it, so it's not cheating. And anyway, the enemy has aimbot, infinite ammo, always gets to ambush you, is numerically superior, has OP weapons etc.

@@c.h.7580 L take

@@code_renard you guys are the losers, you arent real gamers bc u want everything to be easy. You probably hate elden ring too. Are yall gen z? Lol

I remember I softlocked the game that way by cheat spawning in a bunch of tanks and lining them up along the road by the arena for some carnage. Afterwards I started a payphone mission for King Courtney and his vehicle that was coming to pick me up couldn't get past the line of tanks so I was just stuck in the cutscene.

True true

Though sometimes the game area resets during a cutscene in other games

@@christiansparks6429 this sometimes happens with games that use in engine cutscenes as well. Not Halo Infinite of course, but you know.

This won't work for people with different screen aspect ratio's compared to the prerendering.

@@0x1EGEN Wtf does screen aspect ratio have to do with if the game will allow you to do this, do you know what screen aspect ratio is?

Expecting him to die but chief can't die

I honestly thought they were going to blow up when that happened.

didn't halo ce have them and you could die in the keyes transponder one?

Even Blizzard games?!? 😢

EA will definitely not do anything so reasonable

Tell that to Bungie :)

@@jshanaa Bungie didn't care, that's why they used real time cutscenes. Plus they had theatre, which allowed them to do it with ease. But most devs want their cutscenes looking better than the actual game. So they don't use real time cutscenes.

Me too, better than escharums

He just spawned in. Wouldn't be the first time. He probably spawned a few times even in books.

They're sneakier than they look, but that's par for the course in sci-fi. SPARTANs and Astartes walk around in fuckheavy metal boots, and somehow they're quieter than a tiptoeing mouse when they want to be.

@@dustinbragg1921 that's so true, and Astartes are even bigger and heavier than spartans, LOL

I like to think he was just in camo right nearby. John was in a hurry to properly do some room clearing, hense he got jumped.

How do we move forward with this?

True, and then you'd have to be quick as hell or else you're dying almost instantly

Facts

Fr 🤣

if you want a movement shooter then try Titanfall 2 or Ultrakill. Halo isnt a Movement Shooter like that, if you want that type of game, go to a different franchise. there are tons of great entries out there.

That's Halo 5, go play it.

@@weirdofromhalo Not even bro. Halo 5 was pretty similar in terms of clunkiness in my opinion.

@@Person4772 That's the thing. 20 years ago, Halo had something that differentiated it from other shooters. What is Halo in today's game market?

@@justinpapin6397 Halo in todays market has been watered down from its roots, the Bungie Era games still hold up today because of that. i would say that the core tenants of game design that halo has are as follows: -Halo is not a Fast Paced movement shooter, nor is it a slow realistic military sim. its inbetween, its pacing was reflected by its movement speed, not a run, but a brisk walk. you move through the levels with both purpose and caution, you dont just run in guns blazing. combat is at a similar pace, Time to Kill is different across the games but its rarely instant, you need to tactically remove shields and focus down snipers while managing ammo and HP, you dont just run in and outmanuever the enemies unless you have a vehicle -Vehicles, Halo has always been unique in its frequent use of vehicles, each one has benefits and drawbacks, and they are not always the best option for all playstyles, they are a choice like any other. they offer additional power and allow for better teamwork, but make you a massive target. -AI, the AI in Halo was amazing in the Bungie Games, its a little worse now but thats mostly due to poor design in other areas. the AI was smart, responsive and had complex behaviours, they would dodge, take cover and even lead shots after a while, they wouldnt just snap to a player and fire, they would slowly improve their lead as you moved to make sure that you actually focused them. -Weapons, The weapons were quite varied in the OG Games, you had both Projectile and Hitscan Weapons, Hitscan weapons also had a limited range before becoming projectiles themselves. each weapon had a unique design and function, the Plasma pistol for example has a low damage output, but can instantly delete shields when charged fully. -Level Design/atmosphere, the Level design was mostly open, with some close quarters segments spread about, but there was also lots of elevation, you could jump down on enemies or go into a lower part to avoid a sniper, you could also use grenades to deal with enemies on higher ground. -HP, the HP system in Halo has evolved over time, from the recharging shields but limited HP of Combat Evolved, to both Shields and HP regenerating in later games, but with a smaller HP pool, the mix of Health systems has always set Halo apart. if you dont realise what made Halo special, you should go give the OG Trilogy a shot. its a slower paced style, but not too slow, the AI is smart, but its not cheating, the levels are varied, but not incomprehesible, the Vehicles are fast, but not invincible, and the HP regens, but not that quickly.
