No game is more iconic, more industry changing and more anticipated on the Xbox than Halo Infinite. In the mainline series of the first person flagship shooter for Xbox, Halo Infinite is the 6th in canon and among many spin-offs, versions and iterations of the franchise. Ever since Bungie left the franchise with Microsoft’s 343 Industries around 2010, all judgement and expectation has been on the new studio to deliver the Halo fans have demanded over the long decade since Master Chief’s new management. Now with Halo Infinite under a year-long delay and improvements across presentation and quality, the Fans are getting mixed signals for the state of 2021’s biggest game on the Xbox.

  1. I was a halo fan since halo 2. Loved every halo. The moment i seen the gameplay trailer for halo infinite i dropped halo. I spent 5 years straight on halo 5. Loved every bit of because it actually followed the lore.(story was a*s tho) gameplay was top notch. The grapple was the nail in the coffin for me. Just straight up added in features akin to the spartan charge which i didnt like.

    No longer interested. Its either HCS settings from halo 5. Or classic settings. There is no other type of halo to me

    It wont be a real open world. Its just ganna be the same generic abilities all other shooters have. Sprint slide and clamber. Thise are fine to have but if your only other agbility is grapples then im out. Idc if its a pick up in multiplayer. If anything that makds it even more boring

  2. "Don't expect a masterpiece"… right, okay… this alone worries me regarding this game. It's Halo, first Halo for a new more powerful system… it should be a masterpiece, something special. It's Halo.

  3. Yet none of this would have happened if he just STFU. You have the audacity to create drama intentionally or not by speaking out about a project that hasn't released yet knowing how the gaming press is. He is to blame more than anyone.

  4. It’s comical that when he’s talks about fans to not overhype halo and think it will be a masterpiece and 2077 casually panes the top of the screen💀💀😂😂

  5. Great video Colt! The story shown here can be applied to industries all over the world. Having worked in the semiconductor industry for 35+ years, I know the pressures of manufacturing. The story presented shows how easy it can be to misunderstand honest efforts.
    Thanks Colt.

  6. I'm not so sure this is a specific attack on Halo, but far worse – the media creating fake news about a popular hobby in their last breath for survival.
    Written media is in massive decline with YouTube creators grabbing the traffic and thus ad revenue nowadays. So these desperate websites will look for bs drama where they can grab it and in some cases even make bs up just to get attention.
    I say let them get on with it! The sooner they whither and rot away the better, and these articles just show how desperate and pathetic they are getting.
    Videos like this keep the truth known though – keep up the good work!

  7. I'm still wondering why American media hate on an American company even when it has done no wrong but Praise a Japanese company even when it had the problems with workers leaving their studios.

  8. Hey sometimes you gotta crunch!
    Halo’s a HUGE game and Microsoft knows the franchise is riding on this game. I bet theres a lot of weight on 343i shoulders right now.

  9. I find happiness in not listening to so called game journalists. They tend to bend the truth to benefit them. Thanks for the content, really cleared up alot.

  10. No matter what Halo under 343 will never live up to the people wanting it to be bungle. This halo could be the best halo and people would still be like oh well Bungie should come back! Poor 343.

  11. Im sure itll be good but halo will never be what it was, its all about how much money they can make and how big they can make it instead of focusing on awsome campaign missions like they use to

  12. While I understand his info on crunch time and his need to try and protect his previous company and friends, I'm sorry Colt…all I hear is that this game will not be what it should be. Nobody ever came out and told people that they last of us, God or war, Detroit become human, etc ,etc should not be considered masterpieces and to limit their expectation….as a Xbox series x player I'm honest enough to know that this information only confirms that this game will just be yet another game that should have been better considering the power of the Xbox series x and the continued dominant quality on ps5 titles. There is a difference and Microsoft still hasn't figured it out. Ps5 exclusive are masterpieces …Xbox should equal this with their exclusive and I'm tired of hearing about the possibilities 4 years down the road. It's getting old.

  13. 7:27 i feel the this is what most developers think about consumers that we have unrealistic expectations when the bar was already set so high years ago especially with halo and other triple a titles of its kind. We were all there 15 years ago and nowadays these developers think their releasing of unfinished and unpolished games coupled with micro transactions and loads of other sbmm and pay to win bullshit is what we should expect.
