It's a good looking trailer overall, but I couldn't help feeling the lighting looked a bit strange. Like there was a pass missing. I've been playing Quake 2 RTX recently and it's been making me think about the nuances of interior lighting. The lighting in this trailer is almost previs-esque. The models are good, the animation's good, but the lighting is just strange.

On the one hand, it looks like 343i are returning to the roots of the first game and trying to live up to the early promises Bungie made with that game (and eventually rowed back on). On the other, it also looks like Halo.

Don't want to clutter the steam thread for Halo discussions. I guess this is the place to talk about this game?

Anyway, 343 has announced their plan to improve the battlepass. Thread here.

Every match providing at least some amount of XP+some of the bs challenges getting removed is gonna make for a great quick fix while they work on the system in more detail.

Yeah, apart from the battlepass, I would say they need more game modes / people can play any mode whenever they can. But that probably need an even bigger player base to achieve. Not really affecting me per se, because I only play BTB haha.

I want specified game modes I can play. Slayer, FFA, Sniper Only, Pistol Only and Hardcore (1 headshot and you are dead).

Just experienced something when playing BTB

Me and two people hopped on a warthog
Driver (not me) crashed the car right at the opposing team's front gate
Someone on the mic (not me) said "oh this is not good"
We got slaughter at the crash site

That line on the mic is pure gold.

I'm really glad this was delayed. Launching any of this last year would've done more harm than good IMO.

First event "Fracture Tenai" starts tomorrow. Separate free battlepass to unlock.

Yeah, after watching some comparison video there is a huge update in graphics. The test flights definitely help them balance out some rough edges, too.
