Redfall and that Hogwarts game.

...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.

How can 343 block access to the campaign?

I bet it's easy to circumvent by going offline. Otherwise, the game wouldn't be able to work for people who don't have their console connected to the internet or at the latest once XBL shuts down and you want to install the game from disc.
That would make the physical version almost worthless.

From what I read at the launch of FH5 it was unplayable off the disc and needed a sizable online download to play it so maybe they have done the same with Halo it's pretty scummy of them if so. Selling an unusable product shouldn't be allowed maybe they class it as a frisbee then it is useable out of the box and get away with selling a dead weight.

What are you all hoping to see at TGAs? (Doesn't have to be exclusive) and what are you expecting to see?

I'm really hoping for Avowed, I want to see that more than Hellblade II, Lol.

Xbox

Hellblade 2 Gameplay trailer/demo with a late 2022 or early 2023 release window (likely, been rumored for awhile)
Project Mara trailer and 2022 release window (somewhat likely, I see no reason why this game wouldn't release before Hellblade 2 since it's only like 2 hours long and set entirely with a single penthouse apartment, it has been in development now for almost 2 years)
Avowed gameplay trailer (somewhat likely)
Redfall gameplay trailer or demo (likely, considering this is the last big event they can show it at before release, as E3 is only like a month or 2 before it releases, they can't wait that late to show it, though PAX in the spring or an Inside Xbox before then is possible I guess)

3rd party

Dragon Age 4 gameplay reveal (possible, the game was announced at The Game Awards 2018, with a 2nd teaser trailer at The Game Awards 2020)
Hogwarts Mystery gameplay trailer and release window (possible, this is the last big event that WB can show it at until E3 next year)
Next game from Monolith (possible, Middle Earth: Shadow of War released 4 years ago now, so whatever they are working on next, be it Shadow of 3, a new FEAR, or something entirely new, it has been in development for a long time and should be close to announce, if not TGA than E3 next year almost certainly)

Feel like you're expecting way too many Xbox specific showings at TGA. We'll probably get 2. Also, Dragon Age...ugh...I wish, but Bioware is still losing people in key positions left and right...god knows what the state of that game is. If we see anything from them, I feel like I have to be highly suspect that it's all bullshit.

Let's talk about Halo Infinite playlists!
We've been reading your feedback, and we're working on plans to add Fiesta, Tactical Slayer (SWAT), and Free-For-All playlists as we speak. They won't land by Dec 8, but the team is pushing to get them in before the end of year ðŸ‘Š
— John Junyszek (@Unyshek) December 3, 2021

A Social Slayer playlist (with multiple variations) is also in the works (we see this request the most), but we won't be able to get that one ready until after the holidays. We hope you can understand and enjoy the ones that make it in before the team takes a well-deserved break!
— John Junyszek (@Unyshek) December 3, 2021

Let's fuggin go!!!!! I honestly wasn't expecting any additional game modes, besides Elimination, until closer to Season 2. I love SWAT! Here's to hoping we get modes like King of the Hill, Infection, and Grifball relatively soon!

Yeah it is a shame, I don't get it that they would release a game with so few playlists and a minimal amount of maps after 1 year of extra work. When can we expect the first batch of new maps?

Well to be honest, the game is not released its in beta. I know, you do not want to accept that the MP was released as beta but that is pretty much what it means. You get to play it early but all features and so forth probably not going to be there. Basically people just ignore the word beta but probably to the developers that is exactly how they view it because they know, its still a beta.
