I have been a halo fan since combat evolved. It will always hold a special place in my heart. Im not trying to start a console war or hate on halo. Im sure infinite will be *good* and im sure ill enjoy it but it doesn't look... great. First, the graphics are getting a pretty decent amount of criticism and I think rightfully so. This is a first party series x game. And some of the screenshots particularly of the brute models look downright awful and im not just talking about the art style. The guns look bland as hell even compared to the last two halo games in my opinion. The defense to this is "but the game is still in development and 343 said the build is a few months old". Okay, but there isn't *that much* time between now and holiday. Im not sure it's really reasonable to expect the graphics to be that much better if at all. Now, I dont care [u]that much[/u] about graphics. Im actually more concerned about the story. Halo 5 left off with Cortana taking control of the guardians, "one of which would effectively police a solar system", and she has a lot of them, convincing hundreds of AI's to pledge allegiance to her, and the legendary ending implies she has control of a halo ring. She's got it into her mind that she has not just a right but an obligation to rule the galaxy with an iron fist. For their own good. But now where is blue team? The guardians? Cortana? Osiris? It gives me the impression they hit the "back to the series roots" button so hard that they screwed their own continuity.
