Does Legendary feel balanced? I always prefer to play Halo on Legendary, but Reach and Halo 2 seem like they really weren't designed for Legendary, forcing me to use very specific weapons and tactics, whereas in Halo 1, 3, and ODST, every weapon and strategy feels important and viable, on every difficulty.

[@brown-eyedcheese5440]

Halo 1 has the best legendary in any of the games. It’s like a chess game but it’s an fps. Do you go for the elite(s) or grunts first? Do you use a vehicle or weapon? What vehicle? What weapon? Do you go from the front or the back? What about grenades? These questions drive the gameplay and it all plays out in under 2 minutes in each encounter. Such a fun, but fair game. Every move you did or didn’t make is on you.

[@memeteam8274]

agreed. 2, 4 and 5 had some serious balancing issues on Legendary in some areas. Yea i want a challenge, but i dont want to get pissed off because of an unfair encounter. (coming from someone who has LASO 'd each title).

[@Brawl847]

Because it's Chief in particular, I give the calm in-game dialogue from him a pass. To me it actually kinda emphasizes just how badass Chief is; he's sprinting around, using the grappleshot, gunning down Banished by the dozen, blowing up their bases and vehicles, etc. all while still being calm and stable enough to speak like he's peacefully sat at a friendly FOB on a lazy afternoon. Really helps emphasize the difference between Spartan-IIs like him and more 'normal' people like ODSTs and Spartan-IVs.

[@RamssesPharaoh]

Agreed. I respect his opinion-preference; but I can't imagine Chief talking out of breath during a regular encounter. Spartans 2 and 3 were built and trained to whithstand a lot of hits. A Spartan IV maybe would.

[@josegamez9808]

@@RamssesPharaoh it reinforces Halo 4’s big question of Chief’s (and Spartan 2s’ in general) humanity. Their lack of emotions is a huge part of their characterization.

[@AVPIChannel]

I loved the Gravemind's dialogue in halo 2 & 3. My two favorite are: "This one is machine and nerve, and has its mind concluded. This one is but flesh and faith, and is the more deluded." "Child of my enemy, why have you come? I offer no forgiveness, a father's sins, passed to his son." Its quotes are so theatrical and grand, and I really hope to see a spectacular return.

[@DankGank]

Tbf its not too unrealistic to believe that Chief could just casually chat while ripping grunts in half as if he were sitting down twiddling his thumbs. Hard to imagine him ever really uncomfortable in this type of combat

[@ValWasTakenWasTaken]

Yeah, to me it sounds like he is just doing routine, as it should be for him

I mean he's a soldier. He's constantly talking with his squad over comms in the books. Makes sense he would be comfortable.

[@existentialselkath1264]

At 12:40 you say the forerunner stuff is actual geometry now instead of just textures. From what I've seen in multiplayer, you'd be surprised how much is actually flat, but it's really well hidden with parralax occlusion mapping (effectively a better bump mapping) It's not a nitpick, if anything I find it more impressive that it looks identical to real geometry half the time

[@SpartanBrix]

One of my favorite things about the campaign is that you can actually find UNSC guns and ammo for them everywhere. In past games, you could barely find UNSC weaponry anywhere, excluding some Flood levels. Makes it feel like you have more of a choice when you want a new weapon. It also ties into the lore too, because the Banished use UNSC guns too. There’s a mini-boss type enemy at Ransom Keep that uses a SPNKR. I love how the Banished don’t care what weapons they use, as long as it can kill humans. It really adds another level of scariness to the Banished and makes them seem more intimidating. Also, I definitely get the whole talking during gameplay think with Chief. One of my favorite things about the original trilogy was that your character didn’t talk, giving you a chance to talk if you wanted to. You could talk to yourself in your head or out load, letting you basically be Master Chief, which is actually what the marketing for Infinite’s campaign is all about. A small nitpick, but I would’ve liked to see little, or even no in game dialogue from Chief. I liked dialogue from enemies, friendlies, radio chatter, and definitely Cortana in the original trilogy, but having Chief talk during gameplay is just something that doesn’t really work in Halo.

[@lukasraynor]

[@Spoinkyi]

Chief doesn't sound out of breath in the game because saving the world for the 100th time is child's play, hell I bet he's listening to podcasts in his helmet

[@Riflery]

I feel like if using the equipment can make the world less enjoyable, is a fault with the equipment and it's implementation, not SkillUp. Especially since one of the main purposes of the equipment is to speed mobility. It's like if you were given a warthog in the H:CE mission 343 Guilty Spark.

[@LateNightHalo]

I definitely agree, if you give players the “permanent power to ignore the level design” then you can’t blame them when they do exactly that and feel like the level design is lacking.

[@Riflery]

@@LateNightHalo Yeah, I really hope it's a one off thing, and not an issue that repeats itself in other ways. I really wanna love this game, man.

[@caprex117]

I liked your point on "I found it I found the rocket launcher" I definitely feel that way whenever I play CE. And I imagine how one would feel when you kill a boss and get awarded with his distinctive weapon.

[@soggycatgirl]

14:56 I love how you exploded enemies right when you said that the enemies are a blast, nice little editing touch :)

[@BryceBurris]

Q/A: Two questions: 1. Do you think the campaign could benefit from having a forge mode of sorts that allowed you to build your own banished bases to attack upon completing the game? 2. With your stance on the spartan laser as the "no fun allowed gun", how do you feel about there being multiple shock weapons that can perpetually immobilize vehicles?

[@QrazyQuarian]

This is a good question. I feel that the Arc weaponry has taken the wind out of the vehicles' sails. I can't drive more than 100 meters in multiplayer without getting EMP'd by one of three weapons (the arc pistol, the shock rifle, and the arc grenades). This is already *on top* of the fact that some vehicles are already flimsy on their own. I think my record time inside a Banshee is 8 seconds before it threatens to explode.

[@Swier3D]

3D artist here regarding the Forrunner Structure and materials. I haven't played the campaigns obviously but spent some time in the last couple days playing customs alone look at the details for the forerunner stucture. What I can tell is that 343 is utilizing "parallax normal maps" for their forerunner meterials which appears to depth and geometry but infact mostly doesn't. Which supprised me too. It's done is such a clever way that it looks so believable compared to older normal maps. All of these things are awesome. If you don't beleive me, look at the flat surfaces from an angle and you will see the mesh is still flat. It's impressive and jaw dropping.

[@thenorthernadvance]

Two questions, One, did the T rating take away from the feel(lack of blood mainly) Two, how often did you come across big scale battles where there are ai controlled vehicles on both sides with atleast 10 ai on each side. Did you come across these big battles at all?

[@Realpopcornchicken]

Q: I’ve been saving marines and reloading checkpoint since I was a child so they hold an important place to me in halo. Are the marines capable of driving? Can I lead a convoy of hogs like tsavo highway along the ring. If not, how well do marines follow outside of vehicles in the open world. I’d love to take more marines than the razorbacks 5.

[@johncampanella622]

[@TheMoistestNugget]

Q&A: You have always been an appreciator of good sound design and the small nuances that make a satisfying explosion and other things no one else seems to care about. Do you think that halo infinite nails these things well? I havent had the opportunity to really sit down and enjoy a stream of it or play it myself ans i’ve noticed that shooters these days have very soft sound effects for guns and very disappointing explosions. everything that should sound loud and powerful seems to sound like various air guns (for lack of a better comparison) in modern AAA shooters. Is it just my Tv being terrible? is there anything that makes ur eyes flicker like the old wraith explosions in this game? Its kind’ve a pedestrian question but literally no one else cares

[@Sanya6496]

I am pleasantly surprised and honored to have my questions answered! It's definitely helpful to know that the "equipment" essentially become like a better version of armour abilities but the world and gameplay has actually taken them into account and that it fits well within the overall feeling of the game. I agree with the zipline idea. That would be a really cool addition and that could make for interesting plans using that if they ever decide to create a zipline that helps marine allies. I think currently the only thing I'd personally add to the equipment and your zipline idea is single use items and having to actively hunt for them, like having a zipline that was taken by the Banished and the enemies were planning to use it against the player but in taking their base, you find it and take up the ambush idea yourself. I feel enemies being unable to use equipment will make it less likely to have small, cool stories but it is still really cool how you describe the equipment working in this game.

[@izer0z]

[@TheArchaeon7777]

Q&A: if you were to make a Halo spinoff game, what would it be? A Halo Wars 3, an ODST 2, a Spartan Assault 3, or something unique? I personally would make a survival-horror cooperative experience set deep within the bowels of a Flood Containment Facility deep within a Halo ring. You and up to three other friends would have to make your way to the surface from the bottommost level, contending against the horror that is the Flood. To make it stand out, I would also make it so that it has that patented 'custom games' customization, allowing for anything from a hardcore, limited health and ammo and visibility experience to a fun, laid back rampage to the surface with you in a Scorpion and your friends wielding Scarab Guns. P.S. while I find it hilarious and relatable that sometimes you struggle with names, for ease's sake, my name is pronounced "Thee R K on." Keep up the great content, you're so fun to watch!

How do the enemies and marines interact with vehicles? How much variety is there when it comes to versing enemy vehicles and can they drive UNSC vehicles? Can the marines drive you around in a tank while you use the machine gun?

[@mattmccarthy4837]

Awesome to see the QnA back! Q: With the near certainty of campaign expansions to Halo Infinite at some point in the future, and the popularity of non Chief-centric stories like Reach and ODST and demand for campaigns featuring popular characters like the Arbiter, how do you think 343 should handle non Chief-centric stories from an overall narrative perspective? Do you think these stories should play a role in driving the overall narrative and influencing events between Chief story entries, or do you think they should only serve to further flesh out the world and not play a major role in the state of Galactic events?

[@afrw23]

Q: Do you think the Commando was meant as the replacement of the DMR or as a completely different weapon?

[@QrazyQuarian]

I had a similar question. Earlier builds of Infinite, official screenshots and the like, seemed to confirm the DMR was in the campaign at some point but was cut. I'm keeping my hopes high that it makes its way into the game via newer campaign titles and spinoffs.

[@afrw23]

@@QrazyQuarian I agree, I hope that if they do bring the DMR they make it into a bit of a hybrid sniper type weapon instead of it being similar to the BR

Love the vid dude! 💚

If Farcry 6 has ruined grappling hooks then Infinite has saved them

[@darknovic1139]

Are there going to be any different bioms? Will we have a snow area like two betrayals or a desert area like the ark? Or will it just be forest and interiors?

[@samlaws2688]

NEXT FRIGGIN WEDNESDAY IM SO HYPED

[@mumpetwombat822]

Loving the choices in infinite. With the outpost sometimes I chose to just jump the walls and mess shit up as the badass chief, other times I show up in a scorpion. My favourite it taking the razorback with marines, jumping the walls and opening the gate and letting the marines in, it feel like “the chief is back and it’s time for the UNSC to take back this ring” as I clear this base with a squad of marines. I love it all

[@vzerby]

Chief delivering his lines normal regardless of his situation makes sense though, he's a super soldier use to combat and knows how to properly pace his breathing. I do like the detail in ODST but for Chief it wouldn't make sense.

[@iamnathanael2132]

Q&A: I'm not fully expecting to see the flood so soon just yet but do the forerunner interiors ever provide a horrific atmosphere? I just got finished playing 343 guilty spark. Leading up to the reveal of the flood I love admiring the thickness in the air. Very eerie.

[@strykerp28]

YES THE QNA IS BACK I LOVE THESE

[@nathan-cg7sq]

Man I missed this series. I still remember getting one of my questions answered in one of your videos after halo 5 came out

[@AggressorSentinel]

Man this episode was surprisingly entertaining

[@eyeballpapercut4400]

"Combat was not really tedious" Good. And I hope they don't add things like the confusing corridors of 343 Guilty Spark or the epitome of tediousness (and no challenge) of The Library.

[@Aloofasf]

About the weapons of the last few games that filled similar roles to eachother: variety is the spice of life. I actually liked different weapons in similar roles with slight differences. It just felt nice to have a huge family of weapons to choose from

[@thecomediccommunist5889]

I agree. It made sense for the different factions to have similar weapon archetypes from a worldbuilding perspective. When the weapon selection is cut down this much it just makes me ask why the factions ditched all their weapons. Multiplayer should never guide how the world operates and the full weapon roster should stay in. Sandbox purists have no appreciation for the actually good parts of Halo

[@EMoney0527]

The QnAs? Back? Hell yeah!

[@strongmouz1555]

im happy that halo infinites enemies mainly the brutes and the elites are now your equal like the elites from ce they scavange for weapons take cover and melee you when close

[@Ezekiel_Allium]

That Scrap Canon looks like so much fun to use, and I'm glad we get something in what I consider the iconic brute look. I won't lie the total lack of any spike weapons or just black brute weapons in general kinda bugs me. But I also just don't much care for the Banished's mass effect/destiny cabal aesthetic so that might just be a me thing

[@quinnalexander3825]

On the weapons, I personally LIKE when there's variation on the same weapon in the sense that it does the same thing *differently*. The Fuel Rod Gun always felt good compared to the SPNKR, being higher rate of fire but lower damage with a bounce and a short time to arm itself. It's not just the fact it does damage but the WAY it does that damage which makes it important. It's why I liked the Repeater after a fashion, it was a plasma rifle that worked differently so it changes the combat rhythm just a tad in a specific way. If it's more or less the same weapon, like the Beam Rifle and the Sniper, that's different and it's not very fun, but I like seeing how something like a SAW works that much differently than an AR.

[@LifeLifter69]

Q&A: Loving your content, glad you were able to play the campaign early. How's the music? Does it hit that running and gunning vibe that Halo 2 brought, or a more cinematic, somber tone Halo 3 had. Or something in between?

[@Queen.Bee_BotB]

In the multiplayer, there are chickens about, and they explode into that mist that was mentioned, but my favorite thing is that they also explode on contact with grenades too. Not when the grenade explodes, but if you nail them with the grenade. its very shocking.

[@cubexp2.010]

Detachable cannons have always been good to make it more real

[@stevencorridori3406]

Losing the assassination kind of broke my heart to be honest, I loved that.

[@jeremybrown9611]

Nah that "Oh I like it" is brilliant, Chief's a Masochist. Masochist Chief

[@Nikkerman]

17:32 this is just because the chief doesn't get tired

[@jebodiahjehova1964]

Cannot wait for this game!!!

[@basedsneedclave175]

I’d say the pulse carbine in mp is solid, in the right environment. If you catch someone in mid range in the open and combine it with the side kick the pulse carbine. Is fantastic in its role of shield stripping and opening up people for an easy kill the point of plasma weapons.

[@brysonthegamer6948]

I love your channel keep up the great work 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@DonoZ420]

I love your vids so much

[@jow836]

I have a question about the halo infinite ad that just realised I really think this was one of halo's greatest advertisments, it takes me back to the halo 3 believe ads it truly is amazing, the way it is so smooth and fluid, i had to rewatch it a few times to make sure it wasnt acting. does the ad have any correlation to the campain / story because i am really interested in the kind of empty battlefield area that appears in the ad it reminds me of fallout new vegas and how its a barren wasteland.

[@commanderbeastly8937]

The shade thrown at Vanguard 😂😂

[@Gamerznation704]

The pulse carbine is one of the strongest mid-long range guns in the multiplayer. Its not meant to be used up close. That being said, you did a great job covering this :).
