Just the feeling of like being in firefight

and hearing the click of the gun

throwing it down, grabbing one off the wall.

My gunner's upside down,

and he's like laying in;

I see kill assist,

kill assist, kill assist.

Any pistol across

any of the games, whatever gun

allows me to feel the most

like John Wick, I am there.

Remember how excited I was

with like this big combat with vehicles

going all over the place.

Halo means something different

for everyone, right?

I think that's what makes Halo great.

What is Halo multiplayer?

And for me it boils down to this tight

arena style combat and big team battle;

this wide open vehicle

infused kind of combat.

We're taking that awesome

legacy or classic Halo combat experience

and modernizing it in

ways that will feel

fresh to old players

and really exciting to new players.

We're going to give you great ways

to customize your Spartan,

really make your super soldier your own

and we're kicking off

a journey and experience

that's going to involve month

to month, season to season,

year after year.

For me working through the

multiplayer off this game,

and the toughest challenge

I think is really about

how do we respect the legacy

of what came before us but

still build something that feels new.

We've tried to bring

all these elements of legacy

and really inject

them into Halo Infinite,

not just like in a in a way

where you won't notice it

where you feel like,

oh, they really designed this

to be a celebration of previous Halo

as well as an iteration

of where Halo can go next.

The vision of arena was all about

a tight experience, is all about being fair,

it was all about earning

everything on the map, earning

everything every kill you get.

Going back to like

what is the core foundation of what made

the great Halo multiplayer

arena matches great.

Halo it's really about fair

and balanced starts

so everybody is on equal footing

when they come off the rip

and then once they start running around

it's about scavenging, it's about finding

new toys and kind of

developing your play style

as you run through the match.

What makes Halo feel like Halo?

I feel like the answer to that question is

is the sandbox. The sandbox is Halo.

When we set out to look at Halo

Infinite from a high level

and the direction of what it is, there's

lots of exciting things there

'cause we really wanted to push.

One of the things that are true to Halo,

but one of the things that fans

haven't seen yet?

Equipment is back,

but equipment is kind of

has the has a bigger voice

than ever before.

We ask questions to ourselves of

if you could go after

you know a power weapon

to get a bunch of kills,

would you do that

or could you go and get

grapple to make sure

that you swing yourself

to the other side of the map to back

cap a stronghold.

We saw that as like another avenue

of not just skill expression,

but tactics for teams

to coordinate around.

The exciting combinatory

nature of this toy

plus this toy and how those interact with

objectives is super amazing.

Looking at how the powerups play

like your classic powerups

like the overshield,

the active camouflage,

for this title, what we're looking

at, we're excited for is you

pick that up and you choose

when you activate it,

it goes into your inventory.

If you haven't used it

and someone kills you in multiplayer,

you drop that overshield

and then they could take it.

Use it for themselves.

That, to me, is very legacy,

but we took the equipment side of it

and modernized it.

When it comes to vehicles,

we went in and decided

to invest a lot in the systems.

When I take damage in my warthog,

my wheels can get blown off.

I hope you get blown off.

There's different aspects.

Of the vehicle that change

how my vehicle handles now,

and that's something that's brand new.

Everything we added to

that is like this doomsday

mechanic, so when you hit this threshold,

the vehicle catches fire

and it's very much

you've got a certain amount of health

or a certain amount of time

and you choose what you want to do

with the last minutes

of this vehicle.

We've got a cousin to the Warthog,

which is the Razorback. The back

has this like multi storage compartment

that you can put a lot of stuff into.

So if you want to put like detached

turrets, power weapons,

fusion coils, objectives.

And that is what really

making the Razorback kick a lot of butt

in MP and Campaign.

The levels define pace for the game,

how frantic it is, and they define

that iconic fantasy

for players as they are

entering that match.

What do they want to do?

What type of experience

are they hoping to have?

What kind of combat?

What kind of dance floor

is there available

to have that combat in?

For me, BTB is all about experiencing

the full extent of the sandbox of Halo

in just one match, right?

Like you see, the vehicles

the weapons, the equipment.

We really want to take

that kind of concept.

Those fields you had, you know,

playing the playing the previous games

and just turn the volume up.

Vehicles are no longer

just spawning at bases anymore.

We have Pelicans delivering them

and we have a Commander in your ear

telling you that.

Pelicans are going to be

dropping off these vehicles.

Being tank is inbound.

We have Halo two style delta Halo mission

weapon pods that fall from the sky

to resupply the field.

That's where it makes it

feel like, like a real

battlefield and is very exciting.

This is not just more players,

this is just the certain

beautiful slice of sci-fi chaos.

The announcer is

your big game playing moments.

Your game modes

just like the way it was before.

Play chat.

Personal AI is really a reflection

and information for the players.

So if a player grabs

the flag, your personal

AI is going to tell you to get

that thing back to base

and give you some like moment

to moment updates.

What if we can let

players choose their own AI

and each one of those

are different voices

so that players can find

the one that fits their personality

and their mood the best.

They add to the sense of like me

as a Spartan, being

more important than for us.

and in multiplayer

it is really about becoming a Spartan.

Your Spartan, you are

you inside of the Halo universe?

The body of customization

content that we have on day

one ensures that there will be millions

of customization combinations

for Spartans on the battlefield.

Includes things like armor coatings,

armor emblems, various armor effects

down to the individual armor pieces,

so your shoulders,

your gloves, your kneepads, your helmet,

your visor, your helmet attachments.

Then you look at weapons

and we've got a whole slew

of customization offerings there.

Vehicles have a

a huge pool of customizations too.

We support customization in the game.

Players can do the same thing

on halowaypoint.com

as well as the Halo Waypoint app.

The player also customizes

the Spartan, the soldier inside the suit.

We want the Spartan to represent

the player as much as possible.

They can change their body type

and their voice, as well as choose

prosthetics for the first time.

Coatings offer us a unique opportunity

to craft some hyper polished looks

and let you express yourselves in ways

you have never been able to before.

So we're coming at this

from a player first mentality.

So what that means is that

there's no random loot in this.

There's no loot boxes.

It's very important to us

that everyone understands

exactly how they unlock

customization content,

and we have a variety of places

where they can do that.

First off, is the Battle Pass.

The Halo Battle Pass

will never be taken away from you.

What do I mean by

that is once you buy it, it's yours

and does not expire. In future seasons,

you can purchase old Battle Passes

as well as the current

Battle Pass and choose

which Battle Pass to put

your progression towards.

All of these rewards are single source

so you're never going to be confused

about where things come from.

If you can unlock something in the Battle

Pass, we're not going to let

any other players circumvent that by

purchasing it out of the storefront.

Alot of our stuff

is unlocked through playing the game.

and only through playing the game.

All customization is just cosmetic.

Every season will have its

own theme and introduce new components,

new looks and gameplay for players.
