[edit] Story
[edit] Summary
ONI's Project led by Colonel James Ackerson is called Project RAT RACE. ONI has recently found new Planet - near Gamma Halo, Installation 07 - riddled with Forerunner installations, and it's currently believed to be an Ancient Forerunner Military-based Planet. The Covenant have also recently discovered this world, and a new battle begins, one for a wealth in freshly discovered Forerunner technology.
Roughly Seven thousand of the UNSC's toughest Marines are "recruited" into RAT RACE, and become the next batch of Spartans - The Delta group of Spartan-III. A new, more drastic approach to transforming normal humans into Spartans are on the horizon, now that their primary subjects are grown adults.
Before they are given their MJOLNIR, the Marines must train against vicious Covenant Prisoners and then learn to master the lower quality SPI Mk II armor, as a transition to the more powerful MJOLNIR.
Millions of the Alien Juggernaut followed the Humans to Gamma Halo, and the more you kill, the higher you will rank. The same is true if you choose to play on the Covenant side.
If you play on the human side, you build your character from the ground up - Race, gender, hair, eyes, nose, etc. and then choose to either join OPERATION: TURN TIDE and become a Spartan-IV super soldier, or continue training as a Marine. The more Covenant you kill, the quicker you will rank up.
If you play on th covenant side, you choose you race first, then build them from the ground up - Skin color, eye color, hair color and style (if Brute), textures, height, weight, etc. and then start slaughtering humans to rank up.
[edit] Locations
- Gamma Halo: Halo Installation 07. This was the third Halo found by ONI Operatives, on the far edges of the Orion arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. This Halo has environmental makeup very similar to a hybrid of Alpha and Delta Halo, with the futuristic and technologically cold blue hue of Instalation 04, and the lush overgrown wild feel of Installation 05.
- Parnassus: This is the Habitable Moon orbiting the massive Jovian planet Delphi. This Moon is slightly smaller than Earth, with a far greater spin, so the gravity is roughly equal to that on Earth.
- Delphi: The Gast Giant by Gamma Halo, this Planet is nearly twice the size of Jupiter. There are a multitude of Gas Mining Facilities over this world that are accesible by the player, but beware of the Flood.
- Logos: Parnassus' Moon, it is about the size of the human moon. Recent studies have discovered that it is honeycombed with more Forerunner technology, a major piece of this technology is an unfathomably large teleportation grid, one that reaches to three locations on Parnassus, and in exit in the Gas Mine Fields over Delphi as well.
- The Maelstrom: This is a large battle command station similar to the Unyielding Hierophant, accesible and semi-destructable by the player. The inhabiting Covenant may rebuild the Maelstrom if it is destroyed.
[edit] EnvironmentEnvironments vary greatly, from vast desert plains, to brutally cold arctic locations, to lush forest locations. Many variations of environment, like Earth has. Also, the Forerunner structures will be similar to ones found in the two Halo games before it, the crisp futuristic ones from Alpha Halo, and the Egyptian-esque ones from Delta Halo. |
[edit] Time and WeatherTime and weather is all real-time, transitioning according to the time and weather at the server you are situated in. In a similar fashion to the new game Crysis the weather will be totally random, from the ordinary afternoon mist to colossal blizzards and or torrential tidal waves. |
[edit] Gameplay
[edit] Summary
Halo Infinity's gameplay is unique, and sets it apart from other MMOFPS games. It blends elements from Classic Halo, and RPG games into one exciting package.
- Server: Each server cluster will hold 5,000 people - 2,500 Human, 2,500 Covenant - At a time, like the game Huxley.
- Gameplay: Infinitys fast paced gameplay is linked with its expansive environments, great room for improvement and huge user support, to form a very addicting gameplay formula.
- Vehicles: Infinity incorporates many unique vehicles into gameplay, many of which have been used in prior Halo games, along with a new batch of exclusives.
- Weapons: Infinity incorporates many weapons, from the Halo novels, to Halo games, to Halo concepts, to new weapons. The weapons are all carfeully balanced, and allow for near-infinite user improvement, similar to the weapons system in Halo: Combat Evolved.
- Artificial Intelligence: Infinitys artificial intelligence play a greater role in combat that most MMO games. The life-like AI will consistently evolve to match the players' skills, and can bolster the ranks of a team, Covenant or human, if they are short members. Additionally, there will be "Hero" characters, and Flood and Sentinel AI on the map that will attack both sides indiscriminately.
- Spawning: Spawning in this game would be up to the player, via menu. Choose preferred spawn location, after dying. "At nearest base", "At last visited base", "Near closest ally", or "Near largest group of allies." This would stop the annoyance of dying, then constantly spawning out of the action.

[edit] Movement and AimingMovement in Infinity is similar to other first-person shooters, allowing the player to move forwards, backwards, and strafe left and right independently of their aim. On the Xbox 360, moving and aiming are separated between the two joysticks; and on the PC, between the mouse and the keyboard. Infinity also allows the player to crouch and jump, although jumping from a high ledge will often result in death, unless your player model protects against this. Damage from falling can be reduced or negated entirely with a well-timed crouch. |
[edit] Damage System
|
[edit] CommunicationThe mic system is an open mic, players within a certain distance will be able to hear you. Additionally,there will be multiple chat zones - 13 to be exact - per team, for the whole team in that area to talk at once.
|
[edit] PowerupsThere are three types of powerups available in Infinity:
|
[edit] Controls
The default controls have been carefully crafted, blending the fast-paced shooter feel of Halo, and the convenience needed for an ongoing MMO game. Each button will also be able to be individually mapped by players.

Scroll left with Dpad Left to view the current team (Covenant vs Human) battle gauges, and your individual player statistics Scroll right with Dpad Right to view the current objectives (from NPC HighCom) you and your 2,500-person team need to accomplish next
[edit] NPCs
[edit] High Command
Intelligence agents, in the form of Prophets for the Covenant, or ONI agents for the Humans will aid you while playing. Intelligence agents like Oosoona (Covenant) or Spooks (ONI) can be found on the field, higher intelligence will manifest themselves within the game's plot, issueing the objectives to relevant fireteams. You can viw those by holding back on the controller, to enter the battle planner on your HUD.
[edit] Allies
[edit] InfantryArtificially controlled infantry will be encountered on both sides, human and covenant. Additionally, Flood will run rampant in locations if set free, and Sentinal varients will follow to try and sterilize the contamination...and you. |
[edit] CavalryArtificially controlled cavalry troops will occasionaly use vehicles, thus becoming the cavalry. Artificial intelligence in vehicles will flock together when necessary, using group tactics to overcome an enemy with numbers. |
[edit] Artillery
Artillery-launching locations will be placed in tactical locations, totally destructable. Destructive things like the covenant mortar launcher in the Halo 2 E3 demo, which can destroy a building in a matter of shots. Though, calling in air strikes would be a viable solution to one of these, rendering it obsolete.

[edit] Enemies

The Flood: A species of virulent, parasitic organisms that thrive by consuming other sentient life of sufficient biomass. If a player is killed by Flood, his former body will be taken over, in real time, and join their legions. Flood bodies can be revived by a lone infection form if the body is not destroyed. The parasitic Flood are encountered in 3 forms:
|
Forerunner Sentinels: Part of Gamma Halo's defense system, the Sentinels are hovering robotic drones, and will attack Flood, Covenant, and Humans. There are many varients of the protective Sentinels.

[edit] Bases
A similar system to Crysis' should be adopted, in a sense, for this portion. In order for a steady income of vehicles and weaponry, players will need to capture and control neutral or enemy-controlled supply points. These bases consist of factories and repair and customization locations. Also, for a steady income of NPC's, a team will need plenty of Chiron training zones under their control. In order for air strikes and artillery to work, players must remain in control of air bases. In this sense, players will be totally in control of the outcomes of the game, in an ongoing struggle for victory.
Capital bases contain 2,000 Vehicles, 1,000 NPC's, and an Unlimited amount of "Storage Space" for the 2,500 troops belonging to that city's team (Human or Covenant). Capitol cities cannot be destroyed or taken over, and they are near the size of New Mombasa, but looks much more advanced. There will be 3 Capitol Cities per Team (Human or Covenant). There are local law enforcement agencies there, if you go in looking for trouble, prepare for more than you may be able to handle.
Major bases contain 1,000 Vehicles, 500 NPC's, and enough Cryo Chambers for 600 Players stationed at that base. There will be 13 Major Bases per Team (Human or Covenant).
Air Bases contain 100 Vehicles (Including 2 Skyhawk Jump Jets, or 2 Covenant Scarabs), 300 NPC's, and enough Cryo Chambers for 200 players stationed at that base.
Chiron Training Facilities are used to train you - The Spartan Clones (ala Halo). 150 Vehicles, 600 NPC's, enough Cryo Chambers for 100 Players training there.
Minor Bases contain 700 Vehicles, 300 NPC's, and enough Cryo Chambers for 400 Players stationed at that base.
MAAS Bases (Mobile Airborne Armory Bases) contain 20 Vehicles, 50 NPC's, and enough Cryo Chambers for 350 Players stationed at that Base. The MAAS Stations are Giant Airborne bases, and can be destroyed by an opposing force if the enemy infiltrates the base, and destroys the three fusion core reactors nestled in the Center of the Ship. The ship would then become grounded, and it will be a Stationary base to be reckoned with, and more Vehicles will be shipped to your Troops from HighComm.
