Well we’re getting some tourneys for a couple months. Nothing to get real excited about, but it’s definitely better than nothing and I expect I’ll be tuning in to a decent number of them. Happy they made the switch to double elim as well. What’s the over/under on whether we’ll get a single piece of Infinite news before the last tourney (April 11)?

TBH that was the best part of H5 competitive. It legit felt like watching sports to me, where I was looking forward to the matches and the rivalries every week. Didn’t hurt that the casting and production were great too. I still remember individual plays from Pro League, like when it looked like CLG was going to lose their first series ever but they stormed back in game 5, or when Ninja got that no scope sniper double kill to get EG the win... We absolutely need a league format for Infinite competitive; the old MLG times where we only got a few LAN events were great for the time but really don’t hold up today.

God can you guys imagine what a great story it would have been to have a Flamesword-Neighbor rivalry going into infinite? Of course that would have been more realistic when the game was releasing in a couple of months, not so much when it’s probably a year away and I don’t think anyone will even be thinking about Halo besides us by then Edit: reminds me of the whole Spartan-RyaNoob beef. God that was such a spicy event, especially with Ryanoob getting the game 5 win then going on to beat Snipedown’s squad as well (even though I was rooting for them )

This is pretty interesting... https://www.vg247.com/2020/08/13/halo-infinite-split-into-different-parts/ Have to say I agree with the choice. However appealing it might sound to get *something* over *nothing*, it's just not the right move for keeping interest in the game. If people have already moved on when big features of the game come along (*ahem* H5 Forge), it's just going to make it way less likely people actually use them.

Yeah, agree for sure. When you have some minor bug which causes some hilarious effect in-game which is quickly fixed, that's when you as a dev get to join in the memes. When everyone is shitting on the basic quality of your game, it's not a good look for you to treat it as a joke.

Not surprised after the well-deserved backlash the reveal got, however much they might have tried to get on board with the memes. Obviously disappointing, but if this means we get a well-polished game with high graphical fidelity, then it's the correct decision. Note how they only said 2021, not even which quarter, so that means we can pretty much expect the game Holiday 2021

Look I know a lot of people are going to complain that we don't need any more H3... but I'm just happy that they're willing to put in the effort to tide us over to Infinite, and with a game which I enjoy watching no less. I stopped tuning in after the first couple of H2A cups, but I've been watching H3 streams pretty consistently on Twitch and I'm happy we'll get some measure of competitive tournaments over the next couple of months.

I know there's been a lot of (understandable) negativity surrounding Halo since the gameplay demo, but this here is absolutely amazing news. This will drastically increase the game's population for a long time after release, which will keep interest in the game high, which is the best-case scenario for the competitive scene. This gets me so hyped for the launch!

https://www.windowscentral.com/halo-infinite-will-get-free-ray-tracing-update-after-launch An update "sometime after launch"?? This is fucking Halo 5 all over again, except this time they took 5 years to release it instead of 3.

I'm been watching Frosty's stream the last couple of days when he's been streaming H5. I haven't really watched his streams much before, but what really struck me is how even though everyone would always talk about him for his movement/shot, his communication is absolutely incredible. He doesn't just do the calling out of oneshots or where the enemy team is, but succinctly explains what he's doing and the exact things that individual members of his team can do to support. It's really no wonder he was such a phenom in H5, he's just such an incredibly well rounded player. Really disappointing that COD won't let him compete in Infinite.
