Details about the Halo Infinite -apkrig campaign are circulating on the Internet
Last Friday, the technical beta version of Halo Infinite started, to which selected participants of the preview program were invited. However, the gaming experience and the first evaluation of the tested elements were outweighed by the leak of information about the campaign, which the dataminders discovered in the files and folders of the beta version. Of course, the blame lies directly with the developers from the 343 industries studio, ie Microsoft, but the fact remains that no matter who was behind the mistake, there is a real risk that many players may lose the experience of playing the story part of the new Halo. The file, which is to contain over 800 lines of information about individual missions and the main points of the story, including the twists that we love so much about story games.
Foreign magazines responsibly inform about the leak, and with a smaller dose of empathy, the players themselves on social networks and forums talk about it themselves, although some discussions on Reddit are hard on leaks. However, the players summarize the data summarized in one text document even in unrelated contributions, and you can come across the disclosure virtually anywhere. After all, I myself unexpectedly encountered a twist in the story while browsing Twitter, and the situation is in many ways reminiscent of similar incidents from the past, whether they were for example The Last of Us Part II or the series Game of Thrones in betraying the story and partial plots. As The Verge, for example, points out, for example on Twitter there is an option mute some keywords, but unfortunately this procedure is not universal.
Hey folks, heads up: we unintentionally included a small number of #HaloInfinite campaign files in the tech preview build. Unfortunately, these files contain spoilers. 1/2

That this is not just a small insignificant incident is also confirmed by the statement of creative director Joseph Staten, who spoke about the leak on social networks. “Hello people, quick update: We have inadvertently included a small number of files from the Halo Infinite campaign in the technical preview. Unfortunately, these files contain spoilers, “Staten summed up the situation. He regretted the leak mainly because of the development team, which is working hard not only on the game itself, but also on its improvement after last year’s failed demonstration, and it is precisely these moments that can bring down overall morale. “Keep your eyes on the stopwatch and please don’t spread the spoilers if you run into them,” Staten concludes.
Fans in the comments on Twitter express support for the people from 343, they do not lack a sense of humor, so they throw around false twists and at the same time speculate whether this is not just a cover-up maneuver. It would be quite funny to learn at the end of the year that that part of the story data was released by the developers on purpose and the story does not actually match. We haven’t learned much about the campaign yet and the developers haven’t brought any major clues in the available trailers, but from the details I’ve made, I have to admit that the developers would have to come up with two really interesting ideas…
