Studio 343 Industries hosted a new Q&A session on the official Halo YouTube channel, where a lot of fresh information about the upcoming shooter was revealed Halo: Infinite…
One of the questions that the developers sorted out during the 45-minute broadcast was about how the cycle of day and night affects the enemies that players will face.
“As you travel the game world at night, you will see more Phantom patrols moving through the sky with their spotlights on, which is pretty cool and adds some eerie elements to what is happening around you.”
“You will probably also get the chance to stumble upon the sleeping Grunts during the service and thus be able to deal with several enemies at once. You will also meet Jackals with shields – when they use them in the dark, it looks really cool. fight in that kind of environment, “said Lead World Designer John Malkey.
Other details revealed during the live broadcast:
- The game has a dynamic weather system, including wind and fog. After release, an update may be released that adds storms or blizzards;
- Zeta Halo is fully rendered in 3D, and when the sun passes behind it, a short eclipse can occur;
- Weapons cannot be upgraded because the team felt they might start to move away from the “Halo formula”. However, some equipment can still be improved;
- The open world of the game is inspired by the level of The Silent Cartographer from the original Halo and gives complete freedom of choice when approaching each mission – players can use any weapon and vehicle they want;
- New biomes include highlands, wetlands and war-torn regions called the Deadlands;
- When the developers were asked if it is possible to sit in the Banshee in the open world and fly to the goal, which will be only after three missions, they answered “do it”;
- Players will be able to find audio recordings with more detailed information about past battles;
- There are no “traditional” cut-scenes in the game: they are all rendered in real time on the engine, and to show them, the camera moves away from the head of the Master Chief. This means that the time of day, weapons, etc. will correspond to the real gameplay.
