The teaser in question ran for around six minutes and a half showcasing different areas and models while developers of Halo Studios took the fans through on what to expect about future projects. 

Despite many fans being excited about the reveal in question, many remain concerned due to 343 Industries' past and current treatment of Halo Infinite.

Another added under an article by The Verge, "This studio has torched any credibility with longtime fans. Just an astonishing amount of missed deadlines, broken promises, and bad storytelling."

Many fans claim that the last good Halo game was the third and that everything after it has been a "Disappointment" due to changes in design direction, 343 Indsutries taking Bungie's place, and the multiplayer gameplay not being the same as it used to be.
