The long awaited campaign fromHalo infinite has finally presented itself again! This is the very first time we’ve seen this part of the game since the disappointing “reveal” in July 2020. Take a look at this six minute preview of the Master Chief’s upcoming adventures.
The last hope of mankind
We’ll regain control of Spartan-117 in Infinite Halo, says Master Chief. He is the last hope of humanity in the face of growing threat from the forbidden, Creatures encountered in Halo Wars 2. The latter defeated the UNSC forces and took control of the mysterious Zeta Halo. A great mission for our armored hero who will face the most “ruthless” enemy he has ever met.
Master Chief is accompanied on his adventures by a particularly talkative artificial intelligence called “Weapon” or “The Weapon” in Shakespeare’s language. His first mission will be to find her. A first step in finding Cortana after the events of Halo 5: Guardian.
Promised great freedom
The title seems approach the classic formula of open world games. The goal of the developers is to offer an adventure in which the player feels really free. For example, it will be possible to select a vehicle from certain terminals in order to explore Zeta Halo more quickly. We’ll notice a great verticality in the worldview and in the confrontations, with in addition to the antenna devices, the possibility of gaining height with the gripper.
The world will be made up of several areas and each will contain items that must be collected in order to acquire skills. The brief excerpt that partially presents the map allows us to get a little more information. Next to the list of collectibles we can see in the right corner that it will be possible to travel quickly from certain points. In addition, the map is shown in relief, so that the most important sights are shown without large markings.
Likewise, the interface of the improvements emerged secretly. The different capacities can thus be gradually expanded. It will be particularly necessary for this destroy fortresses and control points Established banned all over the world. The possibility of rescuing the UNSC survivors scattered around the map. This type of mission is one of the means to achieve Earn “Spartan Cores” necessary to improve your skills.
In the vicinity of the enemies we find some that were already present in previous games, but also newcomers. You will mainly meet the “Skimmers”, flying and agile opponents, as well as Jega “Rdomnai”, a particularly hostile elite.
Finally, how can we not mention the subject of visuals. Halo Infinite disappointed in its presentation last year. In question, graphics are considered out of date. In one year, 343 Industries made adjustments. The images released this afternoon show some notable improvements, starting with more elaborate smoke and light effects, more expressive faces, and finer textures.
The appearance of the elements on the screen (or popping) is also much less noticeable than in the video from June 2020. However, the world seems a little empty and sparsely populated, even if we can see the fauna that lives on here and there, Zeta Halo.
