Great breakdown bud. I agree, the stealth functionality should definitely play a part in gameplay and the fused visors modes may be useful considering Infinite likely has Day/Night cycles.
I like to think the Anti-AI intrusion talked about in the “Step Inside” trailer is self sustaining, meaning it doesn’t have to be upgraded in order to keep up with AI Intrusion. But rather coming up with its own methods and protocols in order to keep Created AI from intruding in its systems.
@@MishraArtificer that’s in all the versions. I’ve got the original Xbox copy and it’s there too. Also sorry for the confusion I didn’t mean to correct you, it was meant for the commenter
I think cool gameplay mechanic for the built in camo would be a new game type where are Spartans have to infiltrate banished base and you had you could upgrade your armor to fit a certain play style before the game starts and you and your team of Spartans infiltrate on the base. One of those upgrades could be the built-in camo system.
@Nagger i think what he means by that is that both teams have tried to kill blue team, Osiris in halo 5 and the banished in shadows of reach (and only one of them managed to do so)
Yeah...in those 'Stealth' mission, I learned the quickest way to get through that low light raid on the covenant weapons platform because it was one of the most excruciatingly boring parts of the game!

i'm honestly loving the new GEN3 armor it looks like 343 is going for a more classic halo armor style but still keeping the modern upgraded aesthetic for the suit.
Tbh I don’t have a problem with coatings colors being locked, it’s like not being able to change the colors on a weapon skin, I hope at least they have worn n torn armor with custom colors, they should really release an image of a solid color with wear n tear so people know it can be like reach
@@rstriker21 The difference between armor colors and weapon skins is that changing the colors of our armor is something that we're used to being able to do, like, by default. We should not have to unlock different colors for our armor. Edits: Clarification.
I think for coop having the team status lights would be cool. You see the 3names somewhere subtle in your HUD green - healthy Yellow- in a fire fight / taking damage. Red - critical or needs reviving.
Considering Im not getting Shadows of Reach until WalMart mails me my copy from the other side of my state, this'll do for now. The sound dampening soles are new, but Spartans have been noted to move almost completely silently even while in their armor so its probably just a given.
The weight of the armor was something that left me wondering when I read it in the book. Because, the way it's worded in the book could be interpreted as the weight of the Spartan on the whole, or just the weight of the armor. So, it could be lighter as you say in this video, or it could be heavier, as Spartan-II's average about 300 lbs, which added to 800+ puts the Spartan at no less than 1100 pounds, or over the half a ton weight of Gen 1.
I’ve always wanted an gameplay armor mechanic since I played ODST which effectively has recharging armor instead of energy shields. It could add an even more rock,paper,scissors feel to the gameplay.
Whats that? You have a question about how these Requisition Packs are ethical? Well our answer is, "Shut your blow hole Marine!...Adults are talking." Me as a consumer, "well then...guess you dont respect your fans and you can stick it up your 4th point of contact! My money will go elsewhere."
@@MrLim-wq2gn His suit is made nanotech. About a year or two ago, I thought of Chief bolt on heavy weapons with the tech, to be something like War Machine.
After playing the campaign, I'm fairly sure the field repair kits mentioned are the Spartan Core upgrades, although they could just as easily be the armor lockers. I'm leaning towards the Cores myself though, as they actually provide upgrades, as expected from a field maintenance and repair kit.
I really wish the Grappleshot wasn't being made the primary focus in *_Halo Infinite_* over the Thrusters. It feels like a waste of this perfect this evolution of the standard Halo gameplay formula, and I wish the Grappleshot had instead simply become an addition to Thruster-based gameplay. For example, it could've easily been used to replace Spartan Charge and Ground Pound.
The thing about grapple shot is that its a pice of equipment and therefore part of the sandbox and the entire point of it is that it gives the player more ways to interact with said sandbox. The boosters is they made things too movement focused and therefore drew attention away from actually shooting while strafing and proper positioning.
@@Sergeant1127 OR they made proper positioning/strafing more complex and dynamic, making the sandbox itself a more complex and dynamic part of the equation that makes gun battles less predictable and more about pure skill compared to the person getting the first shot almost always winning. Plus, the sandbox that 343i built was more expansive due to the addition of Thrusters allowing for greater opportunities and means of interacting with said sandbox. They were evolved very well from movement and Armor Abilities, whereas the Grappleshot as we've seen it is very limited and clunky compared to other games with a better implementation of a similar mechanic. Also, it feels like 343i repeating past mistakes of simply throwing away something that wasn't liked enough and starting over, rather than evolving what they had actually made work really well. There were hardly any vocal complaints about Thrusters themselves, really only Spartan Charge and the idiotic complaints about Sprint, which BTW is still in and actually looks clunkier and less well-implemented compared to its H5 incarnation.
@@GunlessSnake The thrusters packs and Spartan abilities where well implemented into Halo 5’s maps. 343i is trying to appeal to people who don’t fairly criticize new mechanics. The common arguments that Halo 5 was imbalanced, took no skill or had no team play don’t stand up to scrutiny. Professional and high ranked play very clearly showed that the game took skill , required power weapon control weapon and map control.
I liked thrusters and they could have implemented it while still having equipment. Advanced Warfare did it pretty well by having thrusters activate when sprinting in a direction the player isn't looking and the player can thrust forward by sprinting while airborne, like after a short hop.
Quick question, Is the passive camouflage similar to what Agent Carolina had in RvB? She can change the color of her armor to blend in with the environment. But its not like active camouflage where the user becomes 'clear'
343 seems to nail half of the games they release. Halo 4 had an amazing campaign with a disappointing multiplayer while 5 had a very disappointing campaign and an okay multiplayer
Me as well. I've watched the gameplay trailer and first, I dont give a crap about the graphics, but the gameplay alone and the addition of an open world look like complete trash! Halo infinite will be the first Halo game I do no purchase day one....and I've bought every Halo game immediately since Combat Evolved back in 2001. 343 has severely disappointed me but I'm not about to say I want Bungie back by the shoddy work I've seen with Destiny.
@@t-rayjones8214 you make an excellent point! I absolutely adored Halo 4 for its heart wrenching storyline and massive shift to the Chief/Cortana relationship. I also enjoyed how it humanized Chief seeding the doubt on whether Chief was a human or a machine. (Note that we as players were always lead to think of him as Human as we are Human but if you think about it, Chief never really had any free will in anything he did. And if he never had any free will, what's the difference between him and a machine that has been given a command?) But I will say H5 had the exponentially better multiplayer but suffered greatly as it's story and campaign were yawns at best.
Actually. The UNSC did had something called the Wetwork module. I used it a lot in Halo 4 multiplayer, you litterly cannot hear the footsteps, no matter of the surround sound or headphones will work. It's dead quite.
I can't help but wonder if we're going to get an actual reason as to why John's new armor is visually just the Mark VI. Of course I'm grateful for that as I could never really adjust to 343i's redesign, but I'm quite curious.
It seems 343i made Master Chief's Gen 3 Mjolnir slimmer and darker since the 2019 trailer. I like MC's Gen 3 Mjolnir, but his Halo 4 armor is still my favorite....
Still confused how GEN3 was rolled out to all what 500 plus Spartans on Infinity which last I checked doesn’t have mass production capabilities for mjolnir armour. I’d buy it if it had been just Blue Team. But all the Spartan IVs too?
3:14 do you mean the gel changes its viscosity. since a change in density will increase the gels weight per given unit of volume while a increase in viscosity will increase the gels internal friction making it harder to move, for example water has a low viscosity honey has a medium viscosity and asphalt has such a high viscosity it appears to be still even though it is moving.
As much as I lowkey wished Chief's new armor looked more unique and wasn't just a combination (and slight redesign) of reused design elements from his previous appearances, I'd be lying if I said this isn't my absolute favorite look for Chief. It perfectly combines the sleekness of Bungie's Mk. VI and the bulkiness of 343I's own Mk. VI, in which none of those two truly satisfied me. The only other Mjolnir armor that I really like is the Mk. IV of Halo Wars, however I dislike it's assymetrical shoulder pads.
Are you gonna do a spoilers review of Shadows of Reach? I got my copy today and would love to see your thoughts on the Sacrifice story addition. It’s super juicy.
I wonder how that +800lb weight would compare if we 3D printed out those titanium armor pieces today. I’m sure the power pack and techsuit are heavy too but 800lbs sounds a bit much. But on the other hand, a 5.0 Ford V8 is around 420lbs and Aluminum is lighter than titanium. If that engine was made of titanium it would weigh 700lbs (but since titanium is stronger it wouldn’t need as much metal).
So I was trying to find out how much metal is in a 5.0L engine. I know it’s weight and I know the density of aluminum. Unfortunately I got 68L of metal. IDK What (if anything) went wrong in my conversion or if the 420lb number I got included the oil and or coolant. I get aluminum is soft but 13.6L for every 1L of combustion seems excessive. Is the square cubed law at play here or did I miss something.
@@HaloCanon Then bro ignore me I'm tripping lol but regardless this was a great video can't wait for more coverage from you ok this book it's been a real treat so far
The sound dampening system would be obvious. However, I'm skeptical of how much you dampen the noise from a powered suit that weighs as much as 2 race motorcycles once you add the user.
@@wasdwazd Flood the mechanisms with lubricant and add cloth or rubber to the soles. You'd still have the mass problem though, you'd probably get creeks, reverb, or rumble still every time the Spartan took a step.
@@wasdwazd I dont think titanium/ceramic armor would actually be that heavy though, especially if you could get the laminate down to the nano-scale. Titanium is round about half the weight of steel for the same protection level. I'd guess Mjolnir would be in the 600+ range with the user. Not 800-1000. I own steel and ceramic plates, the difference is dramatic if you are wearing armor any length of time. They'd sell titanium plates now if it were not so damned expensive to work the material, ceramic plates would still be cheaper and obviously steel plates a LOT cheaper.
Still doesn't explain how a 1000lb super soldier gets pulled to a 500lb +/- elite/ brute with a grapple hook. Honestly it would play so much better if you yoinked enemies to you. Kinda how the brute yeeted the grunt in the game play but in reverse. Chief can channel his inner mk scorpion
Just saying, I think it'll be such a waste if we don't get to fight or at least encounter Spartans being controlled by Created-aligned AI. The potential for enemies in Infinite is huge, and I really hope the section dedicated to H5 does H5 (and H4) justice. Lots of great ideas presented here man, I hope Infinite can have the diverse gamemodes and mechanics you described.
@@HaloCanon i thought Naomi's suit was gen ii but it's gen I. Also realising that the new mk vii looks very similar to the Decimator which is kinda sad. Thanks for letting me know btw and thank you for the great content
So does Shadows of Reach explain why Gen3 looks the same as Gen1 MK.VI? I mean I'm not complaining, definitely prefer the pre-Halo 4 armors, but calling it Gen3 when it looks like an old MK.VI is weird.
"How cool would it be...." Yeah, none of that sounds cool. In fact, almost all of it sounds like game mechanics we've already seen. IE: Armor repair modules are no different than existing Health Packs, etc. Etc...
Graphical fidelity is important, and that wasn't the only thing wrong with Infinite, animations and scenery were janky and the game probably had a whole host of other issues that are now being worked on, I'd rather have a much better game with actual effort than an ok game sooner
Imagine if Master Chief super-sized the energy shields around his hands so that his fists feel like those inflatable boxing glove toys.
The Mk VII armor was described as being able to alter the shape of its shielding, and supposedly its density is able to change as well. Imagine Armor Lock from Reach, but only for your fists.

So is his armor mjolnir mk 7 or is it mk 6 gen 3 bc I have different results
Chief in halo infinite is wearing Mk 6 Gen 3 armor.
The sound dampening system would be obvious. However, I'm skeptical of how much you dampen the noise from a powered suit that weighs as much as 2 race motorcycles once you add the user.
Maybe it's done with modified energy shielding on the soles or something.
The soles probably compress a lot to cushion the impact of their footfalls. Or it's the energy shields like the comment above.
@@wasdwazd Flood the mechanisms with lubricant and add cloth or rubber to the soles. You'd still have the mass problem though, you'd probably get creeks, reverb, or rumble still every time the Spartan took a step.
@@AKlover Well you're right, the weight of the armor would always cause noise in what they're walking on unless it's solid ground.
@@wasdwazd I dont think titanium/ceramic armor would actually be that heavy though, especially if you could get the laminate down to the nano-scale. Titanium is round about half the weight of steel for the same protection level. I'd guess Mjolnir would be in the 600+ range with the user. Not 800-1000. I own steel and ceramic plates, the difference is dramatic if you are wearing armor any length of time. They'd sell titanium plates now if it were not so damned expensive to work the material, ceramic plates would still be cheaper and obviously steel plates a LOT cheaper.
Isn't made with forerunner tech?
Still doesn't explain how a 1000lb super soldier gets pulled to a 500lb +/- elite/ brute with a grapple hook. Honestly it would play so much better if you yoinked enemies to you. Kinda how the brute yeeted the grunt in the game play but in reverse. Chief can channel his inner mk scorpion
is it just me or is the halo 2 new mombasa bridge missing in halo 3 odst.
It is. There are a number of inconsistencies with the layout of New Mombasa between H2 and ODST.
so chief isn't 1ton anymore?
Nice video
Just saying, I think it'll be such a waste if we don't get to fight or at least encounter Spartans being controlled by Created-aligned AI. The potential for enemies in Infinite is huge, and I really hope the section dedicated to H5 does H5 (and H4) justice. Lots of great ideas presented here man, I hope Infinite can have the diverse gamemodes and mechanics you described.
So is Mark vii still part of the gen ii line of suits
Mark VII has been part of all the Mjolnir Generations at this point.
@@HaloCanon i thought Naomi's suit was gen ii but it's gen I. Also realising that the new mk vii looks very similar to the Decimator which is kinda sad. Thanks for letting me know btw and thank you for the great content
have they dropped the thrusters ?
No. It's still there in the Back of the GEN3.
@@MrLim-wq2gn have they confirmed that though we don’t see it in game play
So does Shadows of Reach explain why Gen3 looks the same as Gen1 MK.VI? I mean I'm not complaining, definitely prefer the pre-Halo 4 armors, but calling it Gen3 when it looks like an old MK.VI is weird.
11:34 there he is
Waiting for the video discussing the shitty new armor coatings news...
I have to be careful of spoilers here
lol A Full spartan weights like an F1 car
Who lives to just dislike stuff?
Sounds great too bad instead of a good halo looks like we are getting a just cause 5 but shit
Beefy Chiefy 😍🤤
"How cool would it be...."
Yeah, none of that sounds cool. In fact, almost all of it sounds like game mechanics we've already seen. IE: Armor repair modules are no different than existing Health Packs, etc. Etc...
Wish they just released infinite as was planned. Sick of good games being delayed for sake of “hi-res” fan boys.
Graphical fidelity is important, and that wasn't the only thing wrong with Infinite, animations and scenery were janky and the game probably had a whole host of other issues that are now being worked on, I'd rather have a much better game with actual effort than an ok game sooner
Cyber Punk. This is all that I need to say.
Can I say that I'm still pissed that Halo 5 shipped and even till this very day, has lootboxes!
That shit is still unacceptable!!!
