We’ve previously seen the developerusing Gyoza, a pug to record the sounds of an alienbased in the world of the upcomingHalo Infinite.In the latest video, we see principal software engineering lead —I think it may be Josh Lindquist— firing various modern weapons ranging from pistols, rifles, shotguns, and submachine guns.
“I need a weapon.” 🔊👂 This #SoundDesignSaturday features our Principal Software Engineering Lead firing small arms for our Audio Team to capture and use in #HaloInfinite. Which one sounds the coolest to you?

The video also features some explosions being recorded. It’s certainly an interesting look at the creative process during development and it will be great to see how these sounds come across in-game. I’m interested in knowing what sound effects they implement, if at all, to add a personalHalotouch.
The 343 Industries team is no stranger to showing off their sound recordings, as above, they used a pug to record the breathy, snorty sounds for an alien. A couple of weeks ago they showed off the audio team recording a 1972 Chevy El Camino SS asking the community what they think the sounds will be used for. Warthog maybe?
Breaking Bad 🏎️💨🔊 Our Audio Team went behind the wheel of this 1972 Chevy El Camino SS and was able to capture its majestic sounds. What do you think these recordings will be used for in #HaloInfinite? #halo #xbox #343industries #SoundDesignSaturday #sounddesign #fieldrecording
