Halo infinite campaign left me smiling all weekend

Arron Greenberg talks about halo campaign.

[LordoftheCritics]

Ohh that campaign screenshot looks really good. What a difference since last years reveal.

Aaron “The Truth” Greenberg

Aaron Greenberg is marketing...

I do not trust marketing. Nor do I trust the people spreading Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) about the campaign. I will trust what I see when it is released. Sources like word of mouth from people I trust and played the campaign and reviews that are not from fanboys on all sides of the fence.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Based on glowing previews of the MP I'm seeing little reason why the campaign won't be excellent unless the story is absolutely atrocious

[Welshy]

@343
Since when has multiplayer quality ever been indicative of campaign quality? Maybe in terms of gameplay mechanics, but it has no bearing on writing, level design, voice acting etc.

You could pretty convincingly argue to the contrary, look at some of the top tier multiplayers and how they've often had disappointing at best campaigns. Relatively few games nail both in equal measure, but I'm open to bring proven wrong, everyone wants great games after all.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Well Gameplay/Gunplay, graphics, audio (some of the best Halo music I have ever heard), and atmosphere I can say they've nailed classic Halo feel.

[CaptainHenry916]

You're going to be disappointed with the campaign. 😁

[Jin_Sakai]

The tech test had me smiling all weekend. Hopefully the campaign does the same come launch!

[darkrider]

The exec from Microsoft would say this. another exec told last year that he was impressed too. Just show a gameplay trailer. Not an in asset trailer or something like that

[CaptainHenry916]

At first I thought they were talking about some random user but when I found out it was an exec from Microsoft, I was like he would say that LOL. This is how you advertise and market your product to perfection LMAO

[Chevalier]

Yeah just like Crackdown 3 was coming along well....

[jonny897]

[Lightning77]

It's safe to say the game won't be anything like Crackdown. Just realized Aaron Greendburg was just replying to someone. This shouldn't be news of any sort. Unless he made it a main tweet, but he was just expressing off handed excitement in replying to someone. Not sure why this is news here.

[DarXyde]

I would just say go into it with checked expectations: not low, not high.

Not a Halo guy, but I believe it'll be a great experience for fans. I've heard good things about the MP mode and they're not going into this with Crackdown 3's hype. Overall, I would say they've been quietly working on it and delayed it to get people forgetting about the reveal. Not a bad approach, I'd say. Seems to be paying off. With Halo losing its status as THE FPS to be playing, the devs have a lot to prove. They don't want to go into this generation living in Bungie's shadow.

[BLow]

I'm mean I get it. But for me, if you have confidence in your product, you would show it. The fact that this game comes out in what a month and we still haven't seen the campaign again is shameful. Especially after the first showing.

It better blow us away and have our jaws on the floor especially from the most powerful console on the planet. We had to hear this for years, now show it. This is Halo and I...I repeat I... expect to be blown away like I did when it 1st came out. Halo used to do that and we need to that to happen again.

Just hearing the chants used to give me goosebumps lol. Blow us away with those 12 tflops. All those buzzwords should be on display including Ray tracing right??? Blow us away...

[strifeblade]

Your a ps fanboy. Literally in your previous comment you told ppl to stop complaining about ps+ games and be happy and to keep gaming. And your doing the exact opposite. Hypocrisy at its finest. Dont be so worried about halo, I beat all 7 and not one dissapointed

[strifeblade]

Honestly we had like 7 halo games and not one of those campaigns were bad. Not one I enjoyed all of them and played them all co op. A screenshot does not dictate the quality of the campaign but I'll trust my experience with the history of the franchise.

[CYALTR]

I guess we will see. Halo has never really been big on campaign, but hopefully the extra time has produced something good,

[sammarshall102]

I disagree. Halo used to be the complete package of story mode campaign and multiplayer with Halo 1, 2, and 3. Reach had a good campaign too even though these games have always been overrated IMHO

[chiefJohn117]

Did you really just say that BS? Foh don't know nothing about Halo clearly

[MadLad]

Every Halo game, up until 4, says hi.

[Bathyj]

You must be new to gaming

[Obelisk92]

That's a modern conviction, the first three campagins of Halo were absolutely amazing. I played Bungie's Halo just for the single player.

[spicelicka]

Halo has always been big on campaign. There's a huge community that only plays Halo for it's campaign, and the majority of players value the campaign and multiplayer equally. If you mean it hasn't had a big campaign length wise then yes that's correct, the campaign has never been the size and depth of single player only games but much more than the average campaigns like COD. The story and lore are immense, and that's one of the reasons Halo 5 was criticized so heavily despite having an incredible multiplayer.

[CYALTR]

Well, I'm not going to bore you all responding to every single comment, but...

While I agree that the Halo series has a decent mix of campaign and MP content, I think it has leaned more and more to the MP lately. I don't really care for MP, I understand that mostly just makes me OLD, but as far as being "new to gaming" that is truly laughable. I feel quite sure, Bathyj, I have been gaming far longer than you have existed on earth. Perhaps not, but I have been gaming for almost 43 years, my first gaming system was a classic Atari 2600, but I had played my parents friends Pong machine (yes there were once gaming "consoles" that only played Pong!!) so I feel like I have my OG gaming credits. Just sayin'

As far as the rest goes, like I said, everyone is entitled to their opinions, even if they are wrong!!

Peace and gaming

[SCW1982]

How old are you bro?

[CYALTR]

@SCW1992 53 years old

Started playing in 1978
You do the math

[darthv72]

The multiplayer test flight left me smiling all weekend so I hope the campaign will do the same

[CaptainHenry916]

The Multiplayer is always good except for Halo 4 multiplayer

[franwex]

I agree that it was weak, but it was still good compared to all the COD clones of that time- and it has aged well.

[SCW1982]

and Halo 5

[sammarshall102]

It's time for them to stop talking and show the campaign again

[Lightning77]

Until its in the hands of a None MS exec it's hard for me to truly believe them. I'm not saying the campaign is bad because I don't know but a MS exec by ping it it up doesn't tell me anything.

I think next month they'll show off the campaign. My guess the 20th anniversary of Xbox on the 15th.

[jznrpg]

MS would tell you a turd smelled like wonderful roses if they were trying to sell it .

[Futureshark]

Xbox marketing team says Halo Infinite is really good!!

[LordoftheCritics]

ROFL

[Bruh]

Cool story bro, now show us a trailer or some kind of teaser with story bits. I frankly don't care what a Microsoft exec has to say about a Microsoft product

[WillyC009]

Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing with the initial reveal. Left me smiling with all that pop in, low quality textures and can’t forget that brute guys awesome facial textures/animations. Provides me with some great laughs.

[Lexreborn2]

Exec for a company promotes game being made by company feels that the game is great! Who didn't see that coming?

[SegaSaturn669]

Yikes, smiling for less than 3 months, bad sign...

[Rimeskeem]

I still don't understand why company execs saying general positive things about their games is considered news worthy.

[Bronbron92]

Smiling all weekend won’t sell everyone on the game lol

[NatsuXTheMaxspeed21]

left him with the craig meme smile! not sure if thats good news .

[Juancho51]

They'll literally say anything to hype up the Halo fans. I played the shit out of Halo but I know better than to get excited when Greenberg or execs say things like this.

[BoneMagnus]

“We’ll, you always left me satisfied and smiling…” Jim Halpert.

THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!!!!

[moriarty1889]

Does this mean they will finally show some new campaign gameplay before it releases?

[cerpintaxt44]

what campaign?

[Ninver]

Arron Greenturd seems to crawl out from under his bridge once in a while when a big xbox exclusive needs hyping lol. Gotta love this troll.

[anast]

No need to try and sell the game...I don't think people are this "blank". It's insulting ... just talk about the MTs, Specs and modes, let people decide from there.

[deadfrag]

The biggest liar in Microsoft department says this.....what a joke!This guy should have been out of Microsoft a long time ago,since its not the first and will not be the last that he lie,false hype...and make Microsoft look bad!

[dbcoops]

Oh its Arron Greenberg. So some more not so subtle marketing from MS execs again, lol. Not news worthy at all, maybe an opinion piece at best.

[brewin]

All I know is that I had an absolute blast with the test these past 2 weekends! Gameplay is tight, graphics are phenomenal. But most of all, I had insane amounts of fun. I am way more hyped than I was that's for sure!

[Godmars290]

This, is sad...

[LoveSpuds]

Why the hell anyone listens to the nipplehead is beyond me.

[lellkay]

Greenberg lol

[talocaca]

Well....Craig made us smile for months 🤣

They don't need hype, they need to deliver.

[jbull]

If its that good then show a damn a gameplay trailer.

[Mr_Luke]

I was really curious, then i saw it was about Aaron "EggFace" Greenberg.
I never like that guy and i won't never do it. So... when i try it, i'll see myself (or read other reliable sources before playing). I just hope the campaign won't be very short (at least 12/15 hours would be great for me).

(edited the many mistakes... sorry, i was typing fast :P)

[Arkmario]

It's funny or untrustworthy, coming from "I think" the person in charge of xbox games marketing.

[hangdang]

Wow, the GM of Xbox games had a good time? Very surprised to hear

[Tsar4ever01]

SOOOOOOOOOOO, You Xbotz are going to take the "HIGHLY INTHUEASTIC PRASE of Halo: Infinite campaign gameplay from a guy that works for Microsoft? We're talking about THEE Arron Greenberg -The "General Manager" of "Xbox Games Marketing"......... XBOX GAMES MARKETING!!!!! HELLOOOO XBOTZ!!!, HE"S JUST DOIN' HIS FREAKIN" JOB!!!😂😂

Man, I would've had more hope if some long term random 'Die Hard" Halo player or 'Group' of players were invited to i343 studios to TEST play the campaign for a few hrs then CRASHES Twitter with the great news. Psst Like I'm going to trust the word of freaking "Top Manager of Games Marketing" for said games.😂😂

[SCW1982]

After Halo 4 and 5's campaigns I just really have no faith in the single player game, but the MP seems on track right now although the Assault Rifle needs to be nerfed a bit.

[Sprucegoose77]

With Age of Empires 4 coming out this month I'm looking at a cheap(er) way to play the game. A series X would provide that nicely. I'm a Sony guy but love Age of Empires and if Halo turns out to be good that's just icing on the cake for me! It's so funny seeing all the downvotes because people are excited for this game! Some of you fanboys crack me up! lol

[QUIMICOMORTAL]

Im sure hes 100% honest! Like when they were soplased with stae of decay 2 or crackdown 3...

[AJM]

Played the open beta for about 30min over the weekend, won't be interested much in the MP online mode. Will however give the SP campaign a go on gamepass though.
