God of War is shot like one single camera take with no cuts. He is saying Halo Infinite will be done the same way.
I had no idea GOW was that way when I played it. I am NOT good at seeing all these intricacies in games I guess. That said, that is pretty cool. I do know when movies do that.
 
Given the trailer they have shown, I doubt it.

I don't know. There is a cut in the trailer from last year but other than that it does look like its shot that way.

Could just be talking about how the camera will work but not necessarily no cuts like GoW.

I'm guessing they are talking smooth transition cinematics here. I think using any 3rd person game as a comparison for Halo is just a really bad example. For instance: in 3rd person, they can change the default camera to a stylistic one to match the upcoming cinematic, so you never notice a change, and in some instances, you can continue playing through them.

If they are talking about what I hope they are, it's actually much closer to how Half-life does cinematics within the 1st person perspective, as the game is still running as if you are playing 1st person. Halo has a history of switching to pre-rendered "cutscene" cinematics, although they have been transitioning to real-time. I have been wanting them to move to Half-life style cinematics for some time now, as it's just so much more immersive.

Someone tell me if I'm off base here in deciphering what they are talking about, but I do hope it's this.

...and given the cinematic we've already seen (running on current gen hardware), I think it's a combination of real-time cutscene that sweeps into 1st person, and straight-up 1st person dialog.

If they don't show something entirely new gameplay wise it'll disappoint A LOT of people. It's a bold move not showing gameplay and letting hype build up like this 6 months before launch.
 



Not much is known about Microsoft’s upcoming return to the Halo series with Halo Infinite, but we’re starting to get some details and we’re starting to get very excited!

Revealed through a small audio teaser on the official Halo Twitter account, it’s been revealed that the formidable Covenant force The Banished will be the antagonists of Halo Infinite when it launches later this year.

The audio log features a Covenant brute telling the audience that there will be “no more Prophets, no more lies”, referring to the original Covenant’s Great Journey to activate the Halo rings as part of a fake religious mission at the hands of the Prophets.

Here’s a full transcription of the Halo Infinite teaser:
Forces occupy The Ring. It will be under our control. Humanity will burn. Their brazen defiance will be all but a memory. No more Prophets, no more lies! We stand together, brothers to the end! We are his will, we are his legacy, we are The Banished.


At the end of the audio log, the brute that’s speaking mentions that they are “his will… His legacy”. Who is this he? That would be presumably be Atriox, the leader of The Banished during the story of Halo Wars 2.

Atriox was a Brute Warmaster that led The Banished after escaping his own ordered execution by the Prophets of the Covenant. After the fall of The Covenant after the truce at the end of Halo 3, Atriox led The Banished on a new war path to attempt to build new Halo rings to destroy the Human race.

As far as Halo’s enemies go, Atriox is by far one of the most imposing. However, by the sounds of this Halo Infinite audio log, Atriox is no longer alive and The Banished are fighting in his legacy.

The Halo Infinite Discover Hope trailer showed fans a destroyed Halo Ring, a scene that many thought would be the game’s opening. Either this battle around the ring between Master Chief, Atriox and The Banished occurs at the start of the game, or players will learn bits of the battle after the fact.

I will be put out if Artiox is already dead. They have a bad habit of making big moves outside the games when they start in the game. Like killing off the Didact in a bloody comic. Hopefully this new novel sets it all up nicely
 
I'm glad that they're putting Halo Wars characters in mainline Halo. Atriox and the banished gave Captain Cutter hell in Halo Wars 1 and 2.

He's probably not dead. It's a more effective tease to refer to him creating hype than to just have him speak directly. They know fans want Atriox to be in so badly.
 
1.6 million views on Twitter already! Nice to see people excited for this.

I just don't want to waste him like they did with Jul M'dama...
 
I really hope they follow through with Atriox. Started playing Halo Wars 2 and he's the most menacing baddie they've had in a Halo. I'd like to see them go dark and make him Thanos one of the squads and leave MC hanging by a thread. Have MC have to work his way back to his Spartan abilities during the campaign.
