I have seen footage of someone playing the campaign (Youtuber) & some NPCs do look like the guy in the tweeter pic. Obviouly he picked the most unflattering image, but the image is not fake, if that is the argument.

I thought this was supposed to be the biggest Halo campaign ever? Quality matters more than length but that sounds at least as short as Halo 5 if not shorter. What's the point of the open world? from what I've read most of the environment looks like the pieces we've already seen, no snowy areas etc. That doesn't mean it's a bad game, according to the reviews it's quite the opposite but I think it sounds narrower in scope than most other Halo games have been and the last 2 were already smaller than any bungie made halo game other than ODST.

I do hope the people here who were talking s*** about the length of some of Sony's recent games will judge this game the same way but I doubt it :) it's shorter than R&C and Miles Morales from the sound of it but hey there is a totally separate F2P MP section that they'll use as an excuse even though MS is still charging full price for the campaign on it's own.

Just messing around about that last part, it's the truth but I really don't give two s***s if they are hypocrites or not, their opinions don't really mean much to me one way or the other, as long as they like the game that's fine I just hope it keeps them from going into PlayStation game threads and talking s*** if a game isn't 20+ hours long.

The biggest complaint I see about the campaign is that you can’t go back and select a stage/checkpoint at will. You have to start the whole thing over again…which is why some have played it in a rush to capture footage for their videos. Maybe that’s what they’re referring to, play it on east and rushing trough it for just the story or footage???

yeah, that isn't great.

The open world point is the same as any open world, to add more content, side missions, activities, etc, besides just having the main story. That will make it far longer and larger than any previous title.

So now the focus on trying to thrash Halo's good score is by trying to make it sound short for an open world game by skipping side missions and rushing through it? Ok then.

Miles Morales: 4 hours
Spider-Man: 6 hours
Horizon Zero Dawn: 7 hours

And for fun:

Returnal: 5 minutes

JinCa, Dried and Val all try WAY too hard. It's ok guys, it's been a dry second half of the year for you. You might get a game next year at least!
 
I'm fine with the short Halo campaign *if true*, if it's not, all good too since it comes with Gamepass and will probably check it out whenever coop releases.

Just find it hilarious the same people berating Sony exclusives for the play length are defending Halo now even when they haven't played it yet 🤣
 
And those berating Halo and haven't played it, even though others have said the game is 25 hours 🤣

Well the not playing is irrelevant because we have the game length numbers. And as with all open world games it can vary massively depending on how you go about it.

Sounds like main storyline is anywhere from 8-12 hours. Then about 20 hours to complete everything according to these 2 articles.

Average gameplay length for a story game IMO, not too long and not too short if it's true. For an open world, 20 hours seems on the short side for completionist but if the game is fun don't see an issue with it.


HALO INFINITE CAMPAIGN LENGTH​

Halo Infinite’s campaign should take most players between 8-12 hours to complete the main story. After dying numerous times, hunting for collectibles, and watching every cutscene, my playthrough lasted just under ten hours.

It’s worth mentioning the in-game timer doesn’t track cutscenes or deaths – my save file clocked in at seven hours. If you want to find every last item in the game, including Halo Infinite skulls, spartan cores, and bosses, you may need to spend another five to eight hours searching for everything.


It will take you around 10 hours to complete the main story in the Halo Infinite campaign if you don’t spend too much time working on side missions. It took us around 13 hours to finish the game on the Normal difficulty with 65 percent completion, which included the various side activities that are marked on the map. It’ll likely take closer to 20 hours if you want to literally do everything the game has to offer.
 
Open world games should have a "beeline" option along with a bunch of side stuff that adds time. Give the player a choice. Not everyone is going to want to sink tons of time in and they should be able to power through the story quick, while most can spend time exploring and on all the side stuff.

So much for the 8 hours. LOL
 

Thanks to the semi-open world in "Halo Infinite," players' time spent with the campaign may vary wildly. However, a number of reviews of the game have managed to narrow that window of time down quite a bit. According to the Washington Post's Gene Park, it took him roughly 12 hours to complete the story campaign — at which point he learned that he'd only unlocked about 35% of what the game had to offer. The review written by Aris Notis from Kotaku reported a similar runtime, with Notis' run clocking in at 11 hours and 33% completion.

"Halo Infinite" contains a good amount of side content, including outposts to reclaim from the Banished and High-Value Targets (essentially overpowered enemies lurking in the wild) to hunt down. Players who want to check out every side mission and find every easter egg can probably expect somewhere between 30-40 hours of gameplay.


Instead, the first couple of the 25 hours I spent completing it on Heroic difficulty take place indoors, and that intro works well as a way to get acquainted with Halo’s literal new gameplay hook, the Grappleshot, as well as the first of many delightfully challenging bosses.


Spend timing mopping up everything in the open world before reaching the credits and you could spend 20 hours with the game, easily.


Considering all the side content, which includes optional bosses, bases to free and propaganda towers to destroy, you can easily reach 20+ hours.

I think Quality matters, obviosuly, but there is also modern expectation in game length for AAA titles. Cyberpucnk AC games, far cry, God of war, Breath of the wild. Horizon Zero dawn , SPider-man (the main one) all have beefy & quality content. I know someone will go "but do they have MP!" bUt we pay full AAA price for the single player, not the MP. It used a different (F2P) price model.

Obviously games like returnal are shortm but tehy are by small Indies. EVen Outrider ha a beefy Campaign even if you play like on class to finish without end game level. I clocked like 40 hours in my first palythough.

I know pas hal was short, but Halo is not competeting with old hal but other modern AAA titles. WIth open world I expect at least a respectable 20+ hours (Main story only) at least, especially with their budgets manpower and time.
