Vast changes in the working environment imposed by the global COVID situation have forced everyone from Cyberpunk 2077 to Vampire: the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 to postpone their release dates for similar purported reasons.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/video-games\/vampire-bloodlines-2-delayed-2021\">Vampire Bloodlines 2 delayed until 2021<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For 343 Studios though, more cynical rumours wonder whether the team simply needs more time to bring the game to a higher standard. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/halo\/aaron-greenberg-responds-to-halo-infinite-criticisms-it-s-a-work-in-progress\">After the tepid reception to Halo Infinite&#8217;s unveiling<\/a> at the recent Xbox Game showcase, and mixed feelings among the player base about Halo 5, 343 desperately need a successful new installment to the franchise to validate themselves as more than just a Studio rehashing Bungie content for the Masterchief Collection on PC.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Halo Infinite delayed\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/CLi1e7V0MDMhX-raPr5EFNJwJXPAtDFdqT5VggoK8qo\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzL3Bhc3RlZF9pbWFnZV8wLTEucG5n\" style=\"width: 600px; height: 338px;\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<p>As a result, it hasn&rsquo;t boded well that fans were questioning seemingly poor texture qualities &#8211; particularly on metallic or synthetic terrain &#8211; SFX changes to iconic weapons, and the ongoing debate between gameplay styles on show in Halo Infinite. In other words, should 343 keep to the &ldquo;purist&rdquo; approach of the original trilogy, or continue to play with the movement systems of Reach and Halo 5?<\/p>\n<p>Some of these questions and fears have already been allayed. It has been confirmed, for example, that textures are being improved and that the game is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/halo\/leaks-suggest-halo-infinite-will-feature-free-to-play-multiplayer-running-at-120fps\">set to run at an impressive 120 FPS with free-to-play multiplayer<\/a>. To hit those lofty goals though, the teams at 343 might just need more time &#8211; hence the delay to 2021. That, and they avoid competing with the looming titan of Cyberpunk 2077&rsquo;s November release date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent Twitter statement from Chris Lee, 343&rsquo;s Studio Head, the successors to Bungie have announced Halo Infinite is going to be delayed until&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3249,"featured_media":7029,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-halo","genre-fps","content_type-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
