With Xbox lately, a lot of things have been born out of a meme...Craig the Brute, a fully functioning Xbox mini fridge - so what's next?
Video game accessory maker Astro Gaming shared the following mock-up of a Halo Infinite multiplayer avatar holding a rather interesting personal AI - Clippit also known as 'Clippy' the Microsoft Office assistant.
This tweet has now generated so much interest from Xbox fans that the official Halo account has responded - noting how Clippy is more than ready for battle:
If you're old enough to remember, you'll no doubt have memories of this mascot popping up in programs like Microsoft Word.
In Halo Infinite, personal AI companions will allow you to personalise your own experience - as it shares vital information with you on the battlefield.
Just last month, Microsoft asked fans to get 20k Likes on the following tweet (below) if they would like to see Clippy return in Microsoft 365 as an emoji. As you can see, they well and truly exceeded the requirement.
Would you like to see Clippy make its way to Halo Infinite? Do you think it's ready for battle? Leave a comment below.

I could totally see 343 having some fun with that, but imagine the pressure of voicing the iconic paperclip - since you hear your AI Assistant way more than you actually see it.
The tone has to meet "expectations" as does the personality. What a nightmare scenario!
Clippy is Microsoft's Jar Jar Binks... still, glad they're having some fun with it though.
Clippy >>> Cortana.
Fite meh.
Man, Clippy IS the 90's! They tried to make BOB happen but it never did. Clippy endured. The sounds of him fanfold printing himself are the sounds of computing in the era. That brings back a lot more memories than Halo does. He needs to return!
@Xiovanni I never realized until your post that Fi is just a Clippy clone.....
Clippy!
My childhood had been restored lol
I actually wouldn’t mind a dynamic theme with him instead.
@GamingFan4Lyf are voices assigned to AI models, though?
I was under the impression that you could pick voice and appearance separately.
@Magabro Hmm, I am not sure. As far I know the only options you could pick was the AI Model and the Color. I didn't think there was a "voice" option.
Each AI Assistant had it's own personality - like I really liked the Teardrop because she was a flippin' lunatic!
"Become a raging tornado of violence" was one of her best lines on top of her little "Mwa Ha Ha" when you got Active Camo.
