Halo Infinite 'Lone Wolves' Trailer Gives Us A First Taste Of Season 2

From the trailer, it does seem like Last Man Standing is one step closer to Battle Royale.

@Grumblevolcano Agreed. Although I think Attrition as a big team battle mode would be a big big thing. I do think they'll eventually reveal a version of the Battle Royale if not a straight up BR which in the Halo Universe could be great but there is a large portion of the player base that really don't want one...for some reason lol.

Enjoyed the campaign and more of that I’m after but in different environments with some better environmental effects, pushing the series x, as it hardly breaks into a sweat currently in campaign.

Going by 343 that will probably be about 3 years away. Was hoping it was going to be a yearly thing.

@Rural-Bandit
So enjoy the Halo infinite gun play and the hook.
They still say originally was about 60% bigger environmentally and I guess with different environments. That would have been awesome.
I do hope after the recent months of a few of Xbox studios not so good reports managing games, that Phil has put some good coal face and micro management in place and keeping a close in on all the studios and game development.
They have so many studios now and some good talent, I really don’t want it to go to waste with poor end games, when they should be big AAA and have reasonable development time.

@Moto5
Being selfish I always said 343 had to much to do and they should have gone series consoles next generation only and blown us away.
I do believe though with game development it comes down to good management and having targets and strong control on each stage of development.
If my company left the designers to design with no targets or milestones we would never get a new design onto the production testing phase.
It’s probably the same for game development.

Does Big Team Battle work properly now?

It’s the only concern I have with Xbox is big AAA game development. And sorry I still don’t have much faith in that area yet.
Yes we know playground can do an amazing Forza Horizon and the coalition a great gears and turn 10 Forza. 343 I suppose an ok Halo. But after that it’s a bit unknown currently.
I guess time will tell, but I’m hoping they don’t arse it up with all these studios.

A wise man once said "Aw ****. Here we go again." That sums up my feelings can't wait!

@Rural-Bandit
Poor Starfield so much riding on that game and true next generation only.

The base game doesn't even work. High ping. Failures to find players. User interface not loading properly. Uneven teams. Uneven weapon spawns.

343 can get back at me when their game works at a baseline level.

This is also on the tails of Master Chief Collection's recent issues with the online portion working about just as well as Infinite's. That's is to say, not working at all

@Rural-Bandit
Me too, time we get to November we will need it 😂

Really looking forward to season 2. Between this teaser and the report yesterday looks like the game is going in the right direction finally.

Roll on May!

@Rural-Bandit
Moving forward for this year 2022 I think Sony have done their lot for the year unless god war 2 releases, who knows.
Nintendo have nothing that big for me now BOTW2 has moved to 2023. Still enjoy couch MK8 though.
Xbox should have Starfield this year and probably something else, it’s hard to tell until June.
So overall maybe not a vintage year for me but we still 8 months to go.

Lone wolves because there's still no co op

@Rural-Bandit Didn't they promise a post launch raytracing patch back in 2020?

@Rural-Bandit
Switch 2, who knows. I would have thought the logical answer for Nintendo’s next console but who knows they could go off on a tangent again with their switch replacement.
It makes logical sense to make it the same hybrid console just more powerful but maybe with some direct motion control like Wii but more advance and not the slightly awkward gyroscope controls the switch has now, which is a backward step to the Wii plus motion controller.
I think that’s it, Switch 2, more power but with advanced wii motion plus tote controls run through a camera system placed on top or below your tv.
The “Wii Switch”.

@Rural-Bandit
Think you are spot on there and I see the pattern you mentioned. So Switch 2 it should be, I have a Switch OLED now the white one.
Yes the Switch should be the Nintendo brand Hybrid console.
Nintendo have so many great IPs so unused on the Switch, new Metroid, Pikmin and Donkey Kong just to start with. So many missing big hit games in my opinion.
I hope they have some goodness lined up for the second half of this year. Would love a Mario Odyssey 2 or big AAA platform game from them. Or any three new games I mentioned above.
Not sure why they don’t, maybe they need to grow their studios, I think their house teams could easy be twice the size to satisfy existing IP game demand let alone new big IPs.

@Rural-Bandit
I really do hope Starfield is that big big banger, because then it will be amazing to play in every way and that’s really what it is all about. Bethesda are starting to big the game up, so it best be that dam good else Bethesda and Xbox will look daft.
Lot riding on this game, fingers crossed 🤞
