Official Thread Halo: Infinite - Season 5 - Firefight Returns

So MS will make money from battlepasses to make up for the development cost of the multiplayer being free? I am confused, do people really spend that much money on cosmetics?

Yes. Activision is making crazy money off COD on microtransactions.

Many of us simply don't care what our character looks like beyond what we can earn for free, but enough people do, and the prices are high enough that those people generate a lot of revenue.

Imagine these $5, 10 and sometimes more cosmetic items. The overhead on them is nearly zero.

The trick is to get a massive active player base. Even if a small % of COD players buy a lot of stuff, that's still a lot of money.

Most everythings lookin good.

Coatings are still bulls***.

By the way, that samurai spartan at the end of the multiplayer trailer is awesome.

Where's the gameplay videos?

After the upcoming delay announcement or it's still so bad that they will avoid showing much of it.
I saw something yesterday that shows XB upcoming release schedule, when it got up to Halo it mentioned MP.
I saw nothing about campaign.

They showed a campaign demo last year and it was amazing.

The lighting for multiplayer looks fantastic…

 

[TeKPhaN]

Visually it's terrible.

Visually it's terrible.

Do you mean like fidelity, style/art-direction?

if you’ve seen or played all how would you rank them? For me the top three would be; ODST for it’s noir, 5 for the hard sci-fi, and reach for it’s grounded grit that kinda vibes with gears

 

[Indiana Cajones]

I find Halo Infinite has very good graphics compared to other open-world FPS games on the Xbox One, and has a better style than Halo 4 which got a lot of praise, graphically speaking.

Although, there is one true graphical benchmark for the Halo series:



RIP Stencil Shadows, we hardly saw ye.

I wanna know, is Craig still with us or in digital haven?

Reach,Halo 4 and Halo 5 for visuals.

Gameplay?

Reach
Halo CE

Can we do something about the trolls s***ting up the threads

Xbox 360 visuals confirmed

The spartans look so much better. They looked like they were made of plastic in 5.

The amount of people running round in Cold War with the John Mclane & Rambo skins is ridiculous. Activision made alot of that event.

 

[Zcythe]

Apex charges like $18 for one premium skin, and there are lots of people rocking those skins. I ran into one guy that bought all the event skins for one event (24 in total I think) less than 24 hours into the event. I commented on it and he laughed it off while commenting that he had more money than he knew what to do with it. That’s $432 in one go.

 

[Swede]

Looks the same

I know COD makes a killing off their bundles and Battle Pass.
