While the demo highlighted gameplay, some felt that the art assets and graphics did not live up to next-gen standards. And the Halo (and wider gaming)\u00a0community was definitely not quiet about sharing their opinions about it.<\/p>\n<article class=\"embedded-entity\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/halo-infinite-to-release-fall-2021-1.jpg\" typeof=\"Image\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-style-body-default\" \/> <\/article>\n<p>&#8220;Much of the feedback we heard from the community aligned with our own views and work we were already committed to doing around things like indirect lighting, material response, foliage and tree rendering, clouds, level-of-detail transitions, and character fidelity,&#8221; says Neill Harrison, director of art management\u00a0at 343 Industries.\u00a0Still, the feedback was humbling, and it also pushed us to look at additional opportunities for improvement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A new style is being shown for the vision of the game that&#8217;s coming next fall.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On the graphics technology front we have made improvements along with fixing bugs that were inherent to some of the techniques, as well as iterating and polishing the features that were still in development,&#8221; says\u00a0Ani Shastry, development manager the for graphics team on Halo Infinite. &#8220;Some of the key areas of progress include better quality of global illumination, ambient occlusion, shadows, volumetric lighting, sky, and atmosphere. We have also addressed issues with our GPU-driven rendering and texture streaming solution that should mitigate the LOD popping and texture quality issues that were prevalent in the July demo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<article class=\"embedded-entity\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/halo-infinite-to-release-fall-2021.png\" typeof=\"Image\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-style-body-default\" \/> <\/article>\n<p>Of course, graphics and graphical fidelity are just one aspect of Halo. The live team also addressed areas like design pillars and how free-to-play multiplayer will be tackled. How will this effect people who are after\u00a0loot and cosmetics?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, being free-to-play does mean that there will be some premium cosmetics, but players will still obtain tons of customization content through things like playing\u202fcampaign, challenges, skill, special events, legacy rewards (such as the Halo 5 SR 152 reward), the progress system, and more. We will always provide value for pure engagement and simply playing the game. We believe that providing value\u202fisn\u2019t\u202fexclusive to monetary transactions, it\u2019s also about making sure you\u2019re properly rewarded for the time you\u2019re investing into the game,&#8221; says lead progression designer\u00a0Christopher Blohm.\u00a0&#8220;Players that play for free will be able unlock items across a multitude of different customization types to allow them to represent themselves in-game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<article class=\"embedded-entity\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/halo-infinite-to-release-fall-2021-1.png\" typeof=\"Image\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-style-body-default\" \/> <\/article>\n<p>The new coating system can add new layers of customization to players that want to stand out with special gear.
