The road to the release of 343 Industries' Halo Infinite has been a turbulent one thus far, originally expected to launch in November of last year alongside the Xbox Series X and S, but since being delayed until Fall 2021.
Our first look at gameplay last year also wasn't without its criticisms, with the negativity primarily centring around the game's visuals, but 343 appears to have put in a lot of work in this area in recent months. As highlighted in the latest Inside Infinite blog, the game is now looking significantly improved.
So, although it's been a bit of a disappointing year for Halo Infinite in general, the current signs are pointing towards a superb game when it finally arrives later this year. Are you still excited as ever for it, or has some of your hype been lost along the way? Let us know how you're feeling down in the poll and comments below.

Meh. To be honest though I have never been much of a Halo fan.
After seeing the 4k screenshots, incredibly excited.
Screen shots look fantastic and i just started playing the MCC so I'm extra pumped
The gameplay looks great, but I wasn’t a huge fan of 4 or 5, so I’m reluctantly optimistic.
To be honest it's too far in the future for me to be excited, nothing to do with its quality though
I personally think Gears is a vastly superior single player experience and think Master Chief is pretty uninteresting as a character, but that said, I’m looking forward to playing this. I’ll go with “fairly excited”.
Pretty excited though I haven’t liked the series’ campaign as much under 343s stewardship so far.
Story, music, characters, feel all changed.
But Infinite looks like a fresh start for them and I hope it captures some of the magic of earlier games.
Gareth Coker (of Ori 1&2 and Immortals: Fenyx Rising) is doing the score so that part should be great
I’ve played Halo mainly campaigns from day one on the original Xbox.
I hope the Halo Infinite can make relive that amazing moment, as back in the day there was really nothing like Halo.
After seeing the recent screenshots and such, I'll put myself in the Fairly Excited category. I wasn't looking forward to it much at all as I haven't really cared about Halo in a long time, but I do have to say it's looking to be in pretty good shape now and it shouldn't be a bad time to get back into the series.
Somewhat in the middle atm, but I never been a big Halo fan. Was a bit more hyped last November, the trailer was quite good.
I'm sure near launch, once I see some good ads with epic music, I'll be brainwashed into hype again.
Too far off to be hyped now. But Halo will always be my favorite FPS and I'll be playing day one on PC.
Probably my most anticipated game of the year. Halo has always been at its best when its doing wide open spaces and emergent vehicular warfare setpieces. This could easily end up being the best in the series, if they get the story pacing right.
I love FP shooters and i love the Halo campaigns, i even like Halo 5 which honestly is bad.
November can't come soon enough as far as i'm concerned but summer is what i'm really looking forward to.
Fairly excited atm. That could change overtime depends on every Infinite's update released in the future
10/10, So excited to play Halo infinite..
I’d be happy just to get a series X, I’ve had the funds for months
Not at all excited for Halo, unfortunately.
The improvements shown were kind of expected.
Any game development if given 6 months extra is bound to look better than what it did 6 months ago.
But its a flagship title. Its expected to look better than most if not the best. Like Gears 5 or Horizon 5. Instead what we are seeing gamers comparing the recent screenshots with past games like FarCry 4 and comparing the LODs.
