Just a warning, there's an unverified leak on 4Chan, Halo Infinite was datamined and apparently the entire story is out there now...Really hope it isn't true cause what a monumental fuck up that would be from 343 and means we'll have to avoid spoilers for 3-4 months.

I would doubt it, 343 is probably not including any of it in that build (esp, 16GB only).

But that's good to avoid it in case. Thanks for the headsup.

Should we agree to a blanket ban of the spoilers here? No discussing them, not even with spoiler tags, no linking to them, etc?

Yes please. Seriously this is going to ruin it so badly for me :( Don't post any spoilers or story related stuff...

Absolutely.



...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

That would be a pretty colossal fuck up by 343, but I’m doubtful that it is true. I see no reason why their would be a story script hidden in the files of this build, and the client was too small for cutscenes to be hidden in the build’s code.

Seeing more folk report on it on ResetEra, my understanding is that it's not cutscenes but essentially a plot summary for each mission in text, from the very first to the last which lets them put together essentially a plot summary for the entire story.

The thing I don't get, I would agree with you Shika that it doesn't make sense but only because MP and SP are meant to be separate downloads, so why are the files connected? I know if they were together, betas are often ripped straight out of the entire games code and sometimes mistakes like this happen where campaign stuff is datamined but Idk.

Actually they can be the same download similar to Fortnite and Warzone where the campaign section is blocked off unless you purchase it.

Are you seriously telling me that 343 left the story details in some 2 month old build of multiplayer they chopped off for testing?

Fucking hell....
I don't know jack shit about game development, but...how on earth does that happen bro?

Does anyone have anything to add? Does anyone have any suggestions on avoiding spoilers? I could add those in, I know there's some Chrome Extensions and such but I don't actually know them by name, Lol.

Replay Halo 5, remind yourself how shit that campaign was, then go play nothing but Halo 4 MP for a month, keep telling yourself out lout that Halo Infinite comes from the same team, train brain to not search for Halo news for next half year.

Very easily actually.  If you think about the huge amount of code that goes into building a game, forgetting something like that can be very easy especially if you switched gears at some point during development.  This actually happen a lot in development where there is a lot of redundant code because development changed over time and developers forgot they even had that code in there because its not tied to anything anymore.

I totally understand that in a very general sense, but like...if you're releasing a build out for testing 4 months or so ahead of launch...and you know it's gonna be data mined, cus that's what people do...wouldn't you have someone go do it on your end ahead of releasing said build, to at least make sure you don't have story details in there?

I mean maybe you're like "fuck it" when it comes to hidden weapons, maps, armors, vehicles, ect....

But wouldn't you take some care to not let your whole plot leak? For a MP tech test?
