Hell yeah, shoulder slam through a wall!I wonder if cloud destruction could be the reason for an MP split? That would be fuking nuts.. Doubt it, but still...
Imagine a new Halo MP with cloud destruction. Lawd Jeezah!

It will be dead on arrivalI wouldn’t mind. Focus on the campaign full stop, then ship multiplayer. It may be good for Halo’s campaign.
I think it would be a mistake to seperate the two.
Lots of people buy the game purely for the multiplayer, and it's the multiplayer that keeps Halo on the gaming map.
I only play the campaign's most of the time, but I'd be willing to wait. It's not like 343i is a small indie team that needs to split the workload. And realistically, half of the maps will be remakes, the controls can't be radically changed from #5, the basic mechanics are there (with the possible exception of cloud destruction which we're pulling from nowhere) but it's been how many years?
Multiplayer isn't something that's been sprung on them at the last minute. From the time that Halo 5 launched, a week later they were touting 5gazillion hours were played in online matches. Red Vs Blue was a defining moment for Machinima, as well as the visuals of the game.
The multiplayer is synonymous with the brand, I think it would be a HUGE mistake to split it up, and would be a PR disaster.

Minor update, mostly acknowledgment of that it’s gonna be a while of any new data, theories, some concept art, memes, tournaments, fan art and other stuff...

I expect 15 maps at launch, with at least 7 or so being big team battle maps, and ZERO forge-made maps.
God help us if they go Battle Royale. It would be a NO BUY from me.I don't expect your standard Halo multiplayer maps with Infinite. I think we're going to get a massive change up (probably Battle Royale influenced) to the formula in 2020.

I mostly agree, though I really like the Chief's theme in 4 and 5.Would be the best Halo news ever. His Halo music is some of the GOAT video game music. 4 and 5 have a mostly forgettable soundtrack.

Maybe in a separate mode, sure. But standard multiplayer will have standard maps. Write it down.
I'd be willing to bet the core Halo Infinite multiplayer experience is drastically different than pervious installments. It will almost certainly offer larger battlefields with more enemies on it, perhaps with a healthy amount of NPCs too.
So an evolution of Halo 5 is what you are saying?
Let's hope we actually get something different this time instead of shoot aliens, run from point A to point B, rinse and repeat.
It will feel even further removed from Halo 5 than Halo 5 felt from previous installments.
There's a reason why Halo 5 was built on the old Halo engine and Halo Infinite is being built on a brand new engine.
But that is sort of the point in halo isn't it? why is it with Halo or Gears this formula is bad, but with Uncharted or Gods OF War people give it a pass? Run from point a to point b and shoot treasure hunters, or run from point a to point b to smash people. Yet, these games get begged to have more of the same, but MS does it and all of a sudden they are miking a franchise and not evolving?
So what makes it BR related? They already dipped their toes in what you said.
Halo 5s Warzone maps are significantly smaller than Fortnites and PUBGs maps.
I suspect Infinite will have map sizes more in line with Battle Royale maps.
