Halo Infinite Campaign (Trailer?) (Gaming)

I think it looks fine. The most recent flight sold me in the gameplay. They nailed it.

I’m more hesitant about the open world aspect of the campaign. I’m totally here for Far Cry Halo, but what I saw in that overview didn’t sell me on it. Open world games have always had the issue of actually filling the world with fun things to do, and with pacing those things. That trailer made it look like there were big stretches of nothing. I keep thinking about the open sections of Gears 5, which were bad. They served nothing, and I hope this doesn’t make the same mistake. This isn’t The Witcher 3 or Red Dead Redemption 2, where one could just sort of luxuriate in inhabiting such a detailed, immersive world. If the open world is just big for the sake of it, where we end up driving a Warthog for three minutes to the next thing, I don’t think that’s very good. I hope it’s not that, but that’s honestly the impression I got from that video.
