In a newinterview videowith Quinn DelHoyo from theHalo Infiniteteam, some interesting new information about the game’s sandbox has been revealed. The biggest news from the video is that Halo Infinite is completely overhaulingHalo’svehicle system; instead of giving vehicles a standard health bar and making them explode when it depletes, 343 Industries is making it so that a vehicle’s effectiveness is reduced in dynamic ways as players damage the vehicle. For example, players that shoot a Warthog’s wheels will make it harder for the driver of the vehicle to handle and steer it. This is a big shift away from Halo’s usual vehicle mechanics, but it sounds like it will make gameplay interactions with them a lot more interesting than they’ve been in the past.
Some information on the grappling hook pickup was also detailed. Specifically, DelHoyo stated that if players are skilled enough, they can use the grappling hook to latch onto a Banshee and hijack it from its pilot. Additionally, it was also confirmed that the grappling hook will be able to pull weapons to the player using it, which will no doubt be incredibly effective when power weapons are up for grabs. If every pickup is as useful and interesting as the grappling hook, we’ll be in for a wild ride in Halo Infinite.
The final major piece of news from the video is that 343 Industries is planning to add many weapons, both old and new, to Halo Infinite after its launch. This means that potentially, weapons such as the classic pump action-style Halo shotgun will return. Let us know what weapon you’d love to see in Halo Infinite below!
