Double Mind the Gap medal has been improved for Halo Infinite. Its definitely time to see more medals in Halo Infinite. Id like to see variations of these medals if you are able to utilise eqipment to score against more than one player at a time. Lets go! #haloinfinte #haloinfiniteshorts #shorts #haloinfiniteclips

Another day, another creative Forge map. This time Reddit user the615Butcher posted his work in progress on Helms Deep from the Lord the Rings - The Two Towers. Amazing work and Im looking forward to playing on this when it releases https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comments/yy8ims/this_night_the_land_will_be_stained_with_the/ #haloinfinite #haloinfiniteforge #haloinfiniteshorts #LOTR #helmsdeep

There really arent enough medals for the Repulsor in Halo Infinite. There are so many ways to use it. Id like to see a medal for throwing a player in to the air and killing them before they hit the floor. Or getting an assist for throwing your team mate across the map and them getting a kill shortly after. #haloinfinte #haloinfiniteshorts #shorts #haloinfiniteclips

Halo has had so many great adverts over the years and this is right up there with the best. Sadly the content of the ad was better than the content of the game on launch. #halomcc #haloclips #shorts #Halo #grunts #masterchief

The state of Halo Infinite. This is another preview of the full length video coming on November the 8th. This section comes near the end of the year and relates to the news that Bonnie Ross has just left along with another high profile technical lead. It asks the question where now for Halo Infinite, the franchise and Xbox #Haloinfinite #halo

This is a preview / work in progress of the campaign trailer I have recut for a documentary / super cut of the first year of Halo Infinite. #haloinfinite #ayearandbitinthelifeofhaloinfinite #halocampaign

Its been an interesting few weeks in Halo. For all the problems Halo Infinite has had the franchise is still able to generate headlines accross the games industry. The roadmap upset just about everyone. Youtubers and games journalists piled in on 343 industries. Forge was properly shown off by the dev team. Moist Critical weighed in calling 343 the worst developer. And Bonnie Ross Sensationally quit last night effective immediately. All in all i thought it was worthy of a recap. And then yesterdays news that Bonnie Ross is stepping aside and the studio restructured. Obviously we all wish her well with her personal situation and thank her for all she did to keep Halo alive at Microsoft. Her role will be split into 3 which perhaps gives us an insight in to why the studio may have been strugglging to move as quickly as modern audiences would like. Studio veteran and production lead Pierre Hintze will become studio head of 343i effective immediately, leading the studio's on-going development of Halo Infinite and The Master Chief Collection, as well as future games. The senior leadership team will expand with new roles, including Bryan Koski who will become GM of Franchise, and Elizabeth Van Wyck, who will oversee business and operations. Whilst it is true that it will be some time until we see any major differences with the output of 343 you would be surpirsed how a change in leadership can affect a team who might have been feeling the pressure. If handled properly internally this could be the shot in the arm the franchise needs. Its worth noting however that each these new positions is being filled with an internal candidate so this might now be the big change we were all hoping for. Has Bonnie ross been fired? Will Forge save Halo Infinite? 343 Industries is restructuring #haloinfinite #bonnieross #haloinfiniteforge #343industries

Did Chris Lee really lie to Bonnie Ross during the development of Halo Infinite? Is that the root cause of all the games problems? What does this mean for the future of Halo Infinite and other releases still to be announced? Where does this leave Bonnie Ross? What does this mean for Project Tatanka?

Lets discuss the latest update from 343, what it means for the game, what it means for 343 and what it means for XBOX. Is the new Halo Infinite update any good? Is it time to fire 343 industries? So, Ive been away for the summer and this is what I walk back in to?? (Oh god no meme)Today Im going to discuss The latest update, the good, the bad and the ugly Why was it a surprise to anyone 343s inability to score a win the future of 343 Toxicity in the fan base #fire343 Modern gaming What worries me and where we go from here So stick around to the end So by now youve all seen the update but just to quickly recap it........ Why was this a surprise to anyone? at this stage the update shouldnt have come as a surprise to anyone. The history of the game and franchise in 343's hands told us this was likely. Given the state and unpopularity of Halo 4s mp the marketing of Halo 5 and upopularity of Halo 5s story the state of the MCC for years after it launched. the delay and the state of Infinite when it was revealed and the subsequent lack of content since release all point to an organisation with some serious issues over an extended period of time. Fans have all got that familiar sinking feeling again but the signs were there for all to see. We all knew that Infinite was "not very good" before the roadmap was released but hearing them announcing it just brought it in to focus for people. The cancellation of couch co-op plays in to all of the fears that lots of Halo players, who are already critical of 343 have. They fear that they dont really "get" Halo or that they are taking an approach which is too driven by data instead of a more holistic, rounded approach. For my part I think they have failed to realise that the people who want couch co-op really wanted it. Yes the numbers of players are small but for many its a key feature for playing with friends and family. And plenty of others see it as another piece of the Bungie era games being chipped away at or seen as disposable in an era of online play, MTX and corporate modern gaming. None of this is helped by the delay to network co-op and forge not releasing with the game. Again those are features which many see as core to the Halo experience now and an attack on one is now an attack on them all. Also the way this feature was cancelled, when the feature is in a semi working state, speaks volumes about the mess the Halo Infinite project is in. If before Launch 343 had told us that couch co-op was cancelled because of some reason, like not enough players to support the dev time, we have to concentrate our resources to make the best game possible, then yes there would have been outrage (expecially after these comments---bonnie ross) but doing so now, after development time has been spent, shows a studio in dissarry, ist another sign that the game wasnt ready for launch and that 343 are still working through the backlog of issues. Project goals are clearly still being re-prioritised to the absolute essentials to get the live service, or seasonality, up and running. #haloinfinite #haloinfiniteisdead #fire343 00:00 Introduction 01:16 Why was this update a surprise? 03:23 The update isnt that bad.... 06:09 No PR sense 07:27 #fire343 09:30 Toxic Fans 10:59 Modern games are hard 13:17 What really worries me

Today I want to discuss the impact Forge will have on Halo Infinite because in all the hype and excitement some have been claiming it will save Halo Infinite. I dont think it will.....but I do think it Halo Infinite Forge will save the community. Lets get into it. The leaks in Halo Infinite Forge have been really fun to look at and play around with. The number of weapon combos and map ideas which have been put together is really incredible. The level of detail in these maps is crazy to think about, expecially when you consider that there are no modelling tools and these pieces have all been kit bashed, scaled and rotated together to create something new. The level of creatvitiy here is off the scale and Im looking forward to seeing what happens when the entire player base is given access to Forge in September. We should also remember these guys are putting this maps ans scripts together without the ability to save their work so it really is a labour of love and we should take our hats off to them for their hard work and dedication.

Who new that such a simple change would make Halo Infinite so awesome. Slow it all down to 25% speed and drop in some Pavarotti. Its a shame that I didnt think of this when I was in theatre mode as there were some close up shots of my team mates getting got that would have added some impact. #haloinfinite #haloinfinitemultiplayer #pavarotti

Halo Infinite Forge Weapon Combos are so much fun. Playing around with weapon combos with the new leaked Forge beta. Its a lot of fun playing around with different weapons and seeing what you can come up with. The Heatwave seems to work very well for this as it has a good range and rate of fire and a distinct secondary fire more. Looking forward to more combinations in the coming days If you want to try this out for yourself check out this video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P-0rPkZQGg #haloinfinite #haloinfinteforge #haloleaks #halo #shorts

Scrap Cannon Slaps HARD - Halo Infinite Forge Leaks - Quick test of the scrap cannon from the Halo infinite forge leak. #haloinfinite #forgeleak #haloinfiniteforge

New leaks from Halo Infinite forge have got my hyped! There are some real possiblities here. In some ways because Forge was delayed I feel like there is going to be pent up demand and people are going to go crazy with this. Auto turret - The Autoturret is a new stationary defense turret which can be programmed (using the nodegraph system) to activate, pick a side, and eliminate targets. It is fully destructible, though it does seem to be a bit lacking in combat prowess. Custom UI - Preset strings defined by 343 can be used to create custom UI flairs such as this, similarly they can be used to create Nav Markers (currently broken in this build), Objectives (the ones from campaign that go on the far left of your screen), and more.

Halo Game Cancelled. The first is the news, from Mr Rebs on twitter that 343 cancelled a Halo Infinite VR game in 2017 called "Reverie". He provided some nice concept art and an explanation of why development was halted. “Halo Infinite Virtual Reality project called Reverie that 343 considered creating in 2017 but didn’t due to hard challenges with VR and limited VR users,” said Rebs Gaming in the tweet. “However there were a few companies 343 interviewed that had an extreme amount of promise.” What is perhaps more interesting is the revelation further down the replies that says an engineer from a fan made mod for the MCC was hired by 343. It looks like they were a decent way in to this mod before the engineer, known as Nibre_ was hired away by 343. He goes on to state that one of the reasons for the cancellations on development was a lack of VR market but with the "success" of the meta quest2 and Sony on their second iteration of playstation VR perhaps the market has developed to a point where entering the VR space makes more sense.

Master Chief Collection - How long has it got? When will it be shut down? In this video I discuss how long the master chief collections multiplayer servers will remain online for. Microsoft need to generate money from it and at some point in the future these servers will be shut down for ever. The only question remains is how far away that day is. Halo, and Xbox fans, would love the games to always be available but there are real world costs to running these services. Can Microsoft really afford to run the Master Chief Colleciton as a marketing exercise? With the news that Ubisoft are deactivating online services for some of their older games the question gamers everywhere are asking is how long do I have left? There are also questions regarding ownership of games, digital vs physical This debate is really tied up in how long you expect the MCC multiplayer to remain playable for? If it's a long long time then it needs a funding model which will support it. without at least some revenue stream from it eventually, possibly sooner rather than later it will close. How are video games funded? This also brings in to sharp relief the difference between buying digital vs physical games. As games become more live service how long is a company obligated to keep a service live for? Users increasingly spending money on cosmetic items which can only be used in that game so when the servers shut down they lose that investment. You could argue that they have has the use of it throughout the lifecycle of the game and therefore the company have delivered on their promise for that item. The gamer is essentially renting the digital item for the duration of the games lifecycle. Are you looking for Halo MCC News? This is the latest on a possible halo mcc update.
