Halo Infinite’s Brute Is Newest Internet Star

Halo Infinite’s Campaign trailer went live during the Xbox Games Showcase. While most were excited to see new gameplay and the return of Master Chief, others sought out to nitpick features and find exploitable images. At around the four minute mark, Master Chief is fighting two Brutes who have just landed, and chooses to go for a melee kill. The close up of the Brute and his dejected expression have now become Halo’s latest internet meme.

 

Across Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and the gaming website NeoGAF, users are displaying the Brute to critique Halo Infinite and the Xbox Series X’s overall performance. Most scathing are remarks about the texturing and ray tracing, and that Sony has already won the entire console generation. Through photo editing, the Brute has been modified to appear as Shrek, a member of the Transformers, and the Gorilla Munch mascot. The character has even been combined with other recent memes like those sprouting from Last of Us Part 2.
