Phil Spencer Explains Why Halo Infinite Doesn't Have a Release Date Yet

Halo Infinite is targeting a Holiday 2021 release window and Phil Spencer assures that the devs are committed to it, but there is a reason for no date.

[-Foxtrot]

"and is happy with the quality of Halo Infinite"

I mean, he was happy with how it was a year ago before the delay...

[fr0sty]

They already gave us the release date, that's why... Infinite.

[Bathyj]

Duke Nukem forever springs to mind.

[darthv72]

My spidey senses tell me November. To coincide with the release of the og xb and halo.

[Sonic-and-Crash]

there was once a game called Killzone Shadowfall....that literally makes Halo Infinite look like a child free-online game in terms of quality , gameplay, art visuals.......

though it was vanished like nothing because didnt have behind it Phil and MS to sell you garbage for gold .........the recent trailer of Halo is unacceptable for a console that didnt present a new game 1 and half year now

[badz149]

@Sonic-and-Crash

KZSF is indeed graphically stunning and it was a launch game. GG really knows their way when it comes to graphics and even the gameplay is tight. the game was criticized for its story and I honestly think the game was unfairly reviewed by reviewers expecting too much from the next-gen at the time. If the story is really what makes or breaks a game, no Nintendo game EVER should get more than 8/10!

[anubusgold]

@Sonic-and-Crash Killzone wasnt that good the shooting was slow and clunky.

[JEECE]

@Sonic-and-Crash

I don't know why you are treating Halo like it's supposed to be a graphical showpiece. Of course Guerilla's games look better; they always have (compare Killzone 2 on PS3 to any of the 360 Halo games, for instance). I mean when Halo 3 came out it didn't look that much better than 2 given the stronger hardware, but no one plays those games for visuals. Honestly the better visuals comparison was between Killzone and Gears of War.

[phoenixwing]

Have to agree with fox here. Phil is just a suit when it comes down to it. He will say whatever projects him dollar signs.

[Jin_Sakai]

Just like he hyped Crackdown 3. Game was garbage.

[gamer7804]

It doesn’t do dev teams any good for them to publicly say they are not pleased. That doesn’t help anyone. They’ll do the real talks behind closed doors. I’m not sure what people expect the heads of Xbox Nintendo or Sony to say…

[GameZenith]

Just like when Sony says they believe in generations.....then goes on to release GoW2 and Horizon FW and GT7 on the PS4...

[Jin_Sakai]

“Just like when Sony says they believe in generations.....then goes on to release GoW2 and Horizon FW and GT7 on the PS4...“

We have next generation only games such as Returnal and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. We also have a next gen controller and a brand new 4K HDR UI. So in theory they do believe in generations.

[Viking_mo]

Phil Spencer, can never trust that PR man. Remember when he said he was delivering top quality games better than Sony? Last 2 years hes released nothing. Makes you wonder what could have happened if they didn't buy Bugthesda

[darthv72]

Did he really say that though?

[Viking_mo]

Really? No one watched the interview he had on YouTube? He fired shots at Sony. Look it up on YouTube. YouTubers have summed up the interview. Of course Jim Ryan fired shots back

[staticall]

I found this interview: gamesindustry.biz articles/2021-06-10-xbox-wants -to-release-a-game-every-three- months (just add slash between domain and path)

And Phil does say - and i quote:
«Xbox boss Phil Spencer continued: "The bottom line is that we simply put out more top quality games in front of more people than other companies."»

And also, about releasing games later on PC:
«Others bring console games to PC years later, not only making people buy their hardware upfront, but then charging them a second time to play on PC.»

[DJStotty]

@staticall

Could have been talking about Switch, but what Viking_mo claimed Phil stated, is still false.

He did not say "he was delivering top quality games better than Sony"

He said "The bottom line is that we simply put out more top quality games in front of more people than other companies"

Which i read as, their aim is to release more top quality games, to a larger audience, than other companies, ie Nintendo, Sony, Google. He is not stating the quality of the games will be higher than the competition, more so the quality will be higher within the internal studios.

[staticall]

@DJStotty

To be fair, i didn't say that that's the exact interview @Viking_mo was talking about, Phil loves to give interviews.

And, personally, i have to disagree with you on «their aim is to release more top quality games», because it doesn't sound like it's their plan, it sounds like he's bragging that they're ALREADY releasing more top quality games than Sony and Nintendo (to which i personally don't agree with). But i completely agree with you that he didn't say nothing about higher quality than other companies.

If it's the same interview @Viking_mo means, they maybe he read «that we simply put out more top quality games» as «that we simply put out more higher quality games» or something, but that's just my speculation.

[DJStotty]

@staticall

I do not mean their aim is to release more games than the competition, but their aim is to release more games on more platforms as opposed to what they have done in the past.

This is shown with every game being on PC, as opposed to the other companies. But overall the output will be more higher quality games, accessible to more gamers across platforms, when compared to the competition.

[Nineball2112]

@DJStotty:

Actually, I see it another way. His quote: "The bottom line is that we simply put out more top quality games, in front of more people, than other companies."

That could be taken that he is saying that they put more games in front of people... that is, he's talking about the games being available on Xbox and PC at the same time as opposed to other companies only having their games available on their consoles.

It is open for interpretation, in my opinion.

[VariantAEC]

@staticcall
[Quote]And also, about releasing games later on PC:
"Others bring console games to PC years later, not only making people buy their hardware upfront, but then charging them a second time to play on PC."[/quote]

Makes you really wonder what Phil is talking about here? Does that mean if I purchased an Xbox Series console my PC versions of games are free on Xbox because I already own them on PC??? So MSFS 2020, Forza Horizon 3/4 and Forza Motorsport 6 Apex are free for me on PC, but effectively pretty similar to FM6 on Xbox One... So again I get an Xbox and MS gives me those games for free? I doubt it.

Or conversely when games do come to PC like Halo MCC do I get any discounts for already buying portions of that collection on Xbox 360 hardware years earlier? Obviously not!!!
Yes, Phil is a lying piece of ••••, apparently that should be his official job title the way he so obviously lies.

[Jericho1337]

He clearly wasn’t or else the game would be out by now.

[-Foxtrot]

Oh he was

It's just the game was the laughing stock at last years E3, with people pointing out how rough it looked along with posting memes that it pretty much forced their hand

If people didn't say anything or if the complaints were kept more on the down low, then Microsoft would have released it.

[Jericho1337]

Would they? Any evidence for that? Unless you’ve read a leaked document or attended a meeting at Microsoft, your comment belongs in the conjecture bin.

[darthv72]

I was pretty happy with it as well. I mean I had to watch it a few times to notice all the oddball stuff people made fun of (like the brutes face) but overall it had great textures and detail and particle effects and pacing. When you take a break from the fast moving action and ride the elevator... that is when you notice the distance and how it would pop in and out. If the extra time smooths out things then so be it.

[chiefJohn117]

Same, I only noticed the pop in. I still don't see the issue with the brute faces to this day. Like what was the problem?

[UltraNova]

The problem was that Halo, is the Xbox flagship. Halo Infinite that was supposed to be coming out on the new Xbox at launch. The new Xbox was touted as the most powerful console ever (from here to outer space), so Halo was naturally expected to show what the Xbox SEX could do in terms of visuals (you know provide actual evidence of the power..) and it didn't. Far from it, it looked like a nice xbox1 game at best.

To cut a long story short, the game failed to deliver in terms of MS's hefty expectations knowingly placed upon their fanbase. What ensued is history and what you both "don't see" is not what 99.9% of the people did - a last gen looking Halo on what is supposed to be the most powerful console ever.

[Darkborn]

Exactly. Before that trailer last year he was saying it was mind blowing and the best gameplay ever. The entire internet disagreed.

[chiefJohn117]

Shiiiid so was I lmao

[GameZenith]

Your logic makes no sense. He delayed it.

Damned if you do Damned if you dont. If he released the game last year people bash him. He delays the game and does not want to give a definite release date....people bash him.

Welcome to the internet.

[Rude-ro]

They spent more time lying to consumers did the last decade and doing pr spins on average at best games..
And you are trying to call out the internet?
Microsoft LOVES consumers like you.

[Nintentional]

You guys act like delaying a game is exclusively a Microsoft and Halo Infinite thing. Last of us 2 and last guardian were delayed multiple times on playstation and so was Breath of the Wild lol

[BehindTheRows]

Last of Us II’s delays were within mere weeks of each other and hardly for the reason Infinite was.

Regardless, people aren’t going on about the delay. It’s the fact that the game releases soon, yet, has no date and was in bad shape when they first showed real gameplay. The whataboutisms don’t change that.

[ScootaKuH]

@bathyj

There are definite parallels there; forever...infinite. Two words meaning the same thing, and both seemingly in development hell.

[TheExecutioner]

When you promote a product of yours, you should be happy with the customer. No ??

so yes he is always happy

[brewin]

I thought it looked pretty good. As others have said, Halo was never meant to be this crazy graphical showpiece. It just needs to look good and play excellent. As long as the game play is there and the graphics are good I think the game will be a hit. I'm confident this thing will surprise a lot of people upon release. And obviously Halo's never been everybody's cup of tea. As long as they please their fan base does anything else really matter? I for one think it looks great and will be happy to get my hands on it on November 15th ✌️

[TGGJustin]

Basically they are waiting for COD to get a date so they don't overlap during the same week.

[phoenixwing]

This is probably likely

[franwex]

This years COD seems to be a meh one though. Unlike next years Modern Warfare 2.

But yeah probably. The only publishers that don’t care are basically Nintendo or Rockstar.

[VersusDMC]

They need to release before Battlefield. Cod will probrably be November. Halo needs to be the first one out because if someone buys COD or Battlefield they most likely not going to put that down to play Halo. Specially since it's free to play. Since there's no investment there's no rush to play.

But i'm wondering if Microsoft is just waiting till the next Sony conference with some release dates and release Halo on the same day as Horizon...

[DJStotty]

"if someone buys COD or Battlefield they most likely not going to put that down to play Halo."

They will when they realise it is more of the same old copy and paste, and Halo Infinite provides a quality fresh experience.

[Ron_Danger]

“Halo infinite provides a quality fresh experience”

Instead of soften the opponent with bullets and then melee, it’s soften them with bullets, then grapple, then melee.

The bread crumbs you guys view as a feast is amazing sometimes.

[Seraphim]

CoD is a juggernaught but what's it really matter. Before I go any further, yes I understand publishers do work around CoD because that will be hot seller the week of release. However, a couple weeks before or after; who cares. Xbox gamers are going to be gobbling up Halo regardless. You can't simply ignore the last quarter of the year simply because CoD drops every Oct-Nov or whatever. Set a release date and, what, Activision drops CoD a week before you, who cares, push Halo back a week or two if you feel the need. Regardless it's silly. It's not like Halo is some new IP you want, rather need to pencil in at the opportune time to help sales. Halo sells itself just like CoD. People will or not buy it be that at launch, a few months after or later.

imo, by not setting a release date this late in the game it sends the signal that the developers might not even have it finished and polished for '21. If so who gives a shit if it slides back to early '22. Yeah you might get the normal basement dwellers all up arms verbally abusing devs but they're a minority; along with a sad example of what has become of our society. Anyway if you're not confident enough to set a release date then you don't have confidence that the game will be ready to ship by years end. 2 cents.

[Atom666]

If changing it a week or two doesn't matter, why not just wait until you know that you won't have to change it? This isn't a big deal or some conspiracy.

He confirmed Holiday 2021. We know it won't be Oct. 22 (BF 2042) or Nov. 9 (Forza), but will likely be before Black Friday. It's a pretty small window. Might as well wait for COD to set a date.

He's correct that the much worse scenario is if they set a date and move it. Keeping it slightly flexible is the best option.

Even when hard dates are given, games get delayed. Number one complaint afterward: Why'd they even set a date!

[badz149]

isn't FH5 also releasing in November? seriously, when will MS learn that even if you disregard December, there are 10 other months in a calendar year?

[Atom666]

It's still their biggest scheduling problem.

I think they'll always load up with at least two games in that holiday period. So I expect Starfield will get coupled with Forza or something next Fall too.

At least they're stretching out a little bit this year with their 1st and 3rd party stuff over the next few months. Hopefully that continues.

I always expect delays, but if STALKER 2 hits its April date, and Redfall hits its Summer date, then that's a start. They need to get something in Jan.-March though. But I don't know what that could be.

[DJStotty]

Or Sony have a holiday release date for a game, and Xbox do not want Sony to go head to head with one of their big titles? It is a waiting game, i expect a Sony 1st party title to launch in the same window, the question is, which is it?

[franwex]

Those are two separate platforms though. A PlayStation owner probably won’t pick up Halo anyway. Hence why Nintendo usually doesn’t care about COD as it’s it really a competition to them.

If anything Microsoft would want to go head to head with Sony to convince people to buy their platform over the other.

[YourMommySpoils]

Probably wants to make sure it's as good as Crackdown 3.

[phoenixwing]

The mp is f2p so it's already a better value at least

[RPGer]

MP =/ Value no matter what.

In that sense The Crew series has more value than Midnight Club Series, which isn't the case at all.

[darthv72]

Hey now... CD3 is pretty damn fun.

[Atticus_finch]

Like watching paint dry.

[badz149]

CD3...if you want to just run around a vast open world, demolishing things around you and kill bad guys while ignoring physics, there were 2 Just Cause games released last gen which has done things so much better than CD3! if a cheezy and crappy storyline is also for you, the JC games also have you covered there as well!

[execution17]

The best part of the game is that video at the beginning of the game and after that it's a pretty forgettable game

[rlow1]

I actually enjoyed the game. Wasn't as bad as you make it out to be. Was it innovative..no...... But was it fun and mindless fun. Yes. Plus it's on Gamepass, so no consequence.

[F0XH0UND922]

I love your guys' justification for a total disaster of a game as "welp, it's on gamepass so no big deal!"

Doesn't the fact that this game was artificially hyped by MS for YEARS not anger you? The fact that they were dubbing this game as a "massive, nextgen, life changing, cloud computing miracle, only capable on Xbox" extravaganza... Only for it to be literally the only and worst Xbox studios game to release in 3 years? Does that level of output not piss you off? Who needs quality exclusive games when you have dozens of terrible games on gamepass! I guess Xbox fans are a different breed.

[ThinkThink]

@foxhound,
Well..yeah, because if a game ends up being meh, you're not out $70. I don't play into the hype game so it doesn't bother me.

[DJStotty]

Good thing Crackdown 3 is not 1st party then right?

Not sure how you can bash xbox over a 3rd party shovel of dung.

[akaFullMetal]

It couldn't be because Microsoft hyped up that game to be the next evolution to gaming with the cloud ? Then they amazingly fell face first with it. Graphics and physics no where near what they showed when announced it and promised.

[GoodGuy09]

Eh just let em quality up the game.

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

Microsoft probably wants to release Halo:Infinite without it overlapping with Call of Duty and Battlefield .

[Phoenix76]

Well, that's simple. Release in December and not November. We should all know by now that CoD and BF both release within 2 weeks of each other through out November by now.

[JEECE]

But you want to be out before Black Friday. And I know that it will be on Gamepass, but there are still plenty of people who buy games, so I'd assume that will continue to be a factor for a few more years at least.

[spicelicka]

Good so it's not delayed, can't wait for this. Need the king of multiplayer to come back.

[Nuvem]

Just wait until E3

[RosweeSon]

Targeting holiday 2021: ie prob not happening until March 2022 earliest 😑🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

[DJStotty]

Holiday season for xbox is September - early November.

I'm predicting around mid-late November launch, if not it would have to be late september - early october, that is the 2 windows they have available.

[RosweeSon]

That’s fair enough but im predicting that like 99% of games over the last couple of years it’s gonna get delayed again… or to avoid that don’t set an actual new date then can say it wasnt officially delayed 😑🥴🤣 March at the earliest. 99% forza will launch on time
They’ll just patch it but halo? We’ll see.

[Zhipp]

The game was content-complete a year ago. What could possibly force another delay with all the extra time they've already been given?

[JEECE]

It would seem like the September slot would be the best move. Get out ahead of most of the other big fall launches.

[ic3fir3]

release only multiplayer holiday 2021, and release campaing better quality later like 3 ,6months later

[DJStotty]

Or release them both? Not sure why they would release a disc with multiplayer on, and then a disc with the campaign on, and then charge twice?

PS, MP is only free if you go digital, and not everyone does that yet.

[Notellin]

Yeah just like all those other multiplayer only games which all have discs. Apex Legends, Fortnite, Warzone, Warface, and Rogue One.

There is just no way a multiplayer only game could be big without a disc.

/s

[JEECE]

But if multiplayer is free, why would the disc people be against downloading it digitally? For a free game that you play online anyway, the only difference is the method of installation, and that's assuming that putting in the disc wouldn't actually just trigger the download of the MP.

[jbull]

So basically they want to avoid Call of Duty.

[NeoGamer232]

i think almost every game tries to avoid call of duty.

[jbull]

True looked what happened to Titanfall 2, flopped commercially for releasing too close to Battlefield and COD.

[DJStotty]

I don't think so, COD always launches around the same window, mainly around the first week of November, on a Friday.

COD - 5th or 12th November
Battlefield - 22nd October

So they either launch around 3 weeks before Battlefield, or 3 weeks after COD

[Lore]

This game has been in development for over 6 years…..

[franwex]

I thought it was coming out on September? Guess perhaps not.

[masterfox]

Because is Crackdown 3 all over again :D

[DJStotty]

Xbox did not make Crackdown 3

Nice try though

It was made by Sumo Digital, the same makers of little big planet for Playstation, and more recently Sackboy.

To slate Crackdown 3, is slating the developers of Playstation games also.

[BehindTheRows]

Where exactly did he mention PlayStation? Y’all love to spin things that way when you can’t take a criticism about Xbox.

[Destiny1080]

xbox gamers waited a year for a release date, just to find out phil is scared to death to release it anywhere close to battlefield or call of duty , the fact that there hasn't been a single article, about that halo showing just goes to show how predictable and mundane, it all was, i hope xbox gamers are not two disappointed when it releases in early 2022

[DJStotty]

It releases holiday 2021, not quite sure why you think it is going to be delayed again.

Once a firm COD date is known, then we will know the launch window of Halo.

No xbox gamer will be disappointed with Halo, because it is going to be on point.

[wiz7191]

I mean who doesn’t avoid launching in between COD and Battlefield ?? Any shooter released in that period almost always flop in launch sales. Why would they purposely hinder players they could have at launch.

[gold_drake]

lol
wasnt he happy with the quality before it got delayed last year?

[Darkborn]

He was saying it was the best game ever too with the best graphics and it was supposedly almost gold. Which means, this is an overhaul in a year's time with a dev that has flopped the past couple halos. Good luck Phil.

[anast]

Crackdown 4 is going to be awesome...

[ScootaKuH]

Halo Infinite: Crackdown Edition

[DOMination-]

"includes playable demo for Halo Infinite"

[glenn1979]

Woow allot of salty butt hurt people im here, for me I cant wait to to play it

[SpineSaw]

Phil Spencer he's just saying anything to keep people thinking its coming in 2021 to keep them engaged while Microsoft runs their post E3 PR nonsense to get people to purchase a Xbox ya know "Xbox is making all the right moves, Sony has done nothing BS" . Bringing Call of Duty into this has no play here at all as Halo Infinite is a Game Pass game and no matter the CoD release date no matter what Halo turns out to be no one is giving up CoD for Halo Game Pass or not And add to that COD is a high selling game top of the sales charts all year long no matter when it releases so deal with that today or deal with it in 6 months you'll be dealing with CoD all year as Call of Duty is THE FPS in all of gaming and nothing no time soon will change that.
The Holiday release window will be overflowing at some point and Xbox already has one First Party game in it with FH5 IMO Halo Infinite is a late winter early spring release. Now with that said I'm talking about the PVE Halo not Halo FTP multi-player, multi-platform game that should be released today as its Free to Play and all these type games seem to be a broken mess with many different issues and as we've seen over the last few years Microsoft has no problems releasing broken games with little content on release. IMO they should release the FTP Halo asap as no matter the condition. And it goes without saying Halo fanboy gives Microsoft a free pass on all things Xbox in fact they should have release Halo Craig as it was last year as the Xbox appolagists were load and clear with the Halo Craig is fantastic campaign "Its the Greatest game ever"! So they already got that going for them.

[chiefJohn117]

I gave up CoD for Halo so im proof you don't know what you're talking about lol.

[SpineSaw]

You and a maybe, maybe handful of others but still a handful of nothing is still nothing. Halo has a long, long way go before it becomes bigger than Call of Duty. But do enjoy and I'm sure those that play Call of Duty will do the same and I'm sure they don't miss you and the handful of others that left Call of Duty for Halo at all.... But enjoy!

[chiefJohn117]

COD is multiplat Halo is not lol I don't get your argument. No one expects Halo to over take CoD. It's like youre mad for some unimaginable reason. Why would a random gamer miss another who he doesn't even know exist? XD like wtf are you upset for?

Anyway as I was saying. Now that Halo is free to play its time to steal some of Warzone players 😝 a lot of new people will become Halo fans and get to experience the best FPS franchise in history

[ScootaKuH]

What, you can't have both? How weird.

I'm a big RPG fan so that's like me saying I gave up Kingdom Hearts for Persona. Why not have both? It's not law that you have to have only one.

[staticall]

@chiefJohn117
«COD is multiplat Halo is not lol I don't get your argument.»

But Halo Infinite is releasing on Xbox One, Xbox Series S and X and PC. So it is multiplatform. How can you say it's not?!

[chiefJohn117]

Is Halo on PS4/5? Okay then. It's on MS platform's only. Halo is exclusive, is that better for you?

[staticall]

@chiefJohn117
Wait, so when Playstation games are coming to PC, they're not considered exclusives anymore, but when Xbox games come to PC, they're still exclusives, am i getting this right? Gotta love them double standarts.

And PC doesn't belong to Microsoft, it's a separate platform, you know that. So if game releases on Xbox and PC, it's 2 separate playforms. Same goes for Playstation consoles and PC.

I'm responding to you because you yourself was celebrating when Playstation exclusives released on PC, you were saying that Playstation is «losing exclusives». But when it's about Xbox, it's still counted as exclusive by you for some reason.

[chiefJohn117]

Oh and for the record H5 outsold COD advanced warfare and infinite warfare on XO. Toodles

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Halo is not on PlayStation. Playing with words here. Halo is multi platform from the standpoint it is on all devices with some version of Windows.

[MADGameR]

Because Craig needs to spend more time in the oven.

[badz149]

Craig 4K

[chiefJohn117]

Can't wait to discover the Craig Easter egg 343 put in the game. Craig will be part of Halo Lore lmao

[Vizigoth04]

What I don’t understand is if it’s on GamePass then why worry about it by chance launching the same week as another AAA? Everyone on your GamePass gets your game for free anyway. Am I missing something here? Should be no risk in launching it the same week as say Horizon Forbidden West Since it’s going to be $60\$70 dollars. If I was you Phil, I’d play Chicken.

[ConTroll]

He's talking about 3rd party games not PS exclusives

[KINGS47]

Halo Infinite looked great last year. So im sure this game is gonna deliver tenfold because of all the whining which tbh was uncalled for. The game looked so good last year. Yall tripping tf.

[DOMination-]

My takeaway is that people who are really into Halo seem to really dig it as its going back to its roots.

Watching both the IGN and Gamespot streams after the MS conference, those guys were super stoked by what was shown. It really seems to be a love-letter to Halo Veterans, but they are clearly having a hard time convincing new players..

And thats probably fair enough, the game has been in development a long time by a supposed "all-star" dev team with a huge budget. And I'm one of those people. Outside of some local multiplayer on H2 I've never played - or been interested in the series and even though I'm an XSX owner with GPU subscription, I'm not in the slightest bit interested in even wasting my bandwidth to try this game on release. So if I'm not enticed, I get why N4G which seems more PS-centric in its community is also having a hard time buying it.

[Darkborn]

The game was literally compared to Xbox 360 games like halo 3 and the older halo games actually had better quality. The graphics and pop-in, shadows, and charactor models were superior on 2 gens ago. That's why it had a huge backlash. Supposedly the series x is the best console in the history of every universe combined, so it shouldn't look like shit. Check out digital foundry, they made an in depth video on it analyzing screen by screen.

[Robodrake]

For the love of God i hope this is sarcasm

[waverider]

Times change. in the past he wouldnt be afraid of launch the game at any date. The others studios would... but now...

[TheColbertinator]

I say it should be released when it is done.

[nihonjinstreetwear]

What! Did he really say that?

[dRanzer]

He was happy about crackdown 3 has well before release

[Hurfs]

It's Microsoft next crackdown!!! Some time it's better to just scrap a game and start again. :(

[boing1]

That is what you do when you're not sure of the release date.

[TheEnigma313]

We already know why it's delayed. That trailer was "turrable"

[Saijahn]

Haven't been this excited for a halo in a long time. Can't wait to play

[mch2011uk]

Release it when it's ready attitude is what is needed throughout the gaming business.

[DaleCooper]

November would have been good, but they took that slot with Forza Horizon 5. I think they're waiting on Activision to announce COD's release date, then launching Halo Infinite after that. Perhaps in December? Just my thoughts.

[Thundercat77]

With all the development years and the delays this game better be no less than a 95 on metacritic.

There are games that end up being good despite a troublesome development like for example The Last Guardian so Phil better ensure by himself that Halo Infinite turns to be not average but marvelous because if not, is going to be a crackdown 3 again.

[chiefJohn117]

Who TF are you to make demands on what it must score? As long as I like it is all that matter to.me I couldn't care less about a meta score. And hypothetically how would a 91, 88, 85 range score make it a crackdown 3?

[brewin]

Count on it being out November 15th. 20 years to the day of the release of the original Xbox and Halo. It only makes sense.

[Robodrake]

Honestly, what is so special about Halo? It looks like an average first person shooter...
