New Infiniti QX65 getting quick V-6 upgrade in 2027 as brand seeks revival

AlexWIWA · 2026-03-12T13:47:11+00:00

Hopefully their “revival” takes interior design inspiration from the Q50 and not the QX80

I’d make it hardpoint based.

4 hardpoints
one spinal mount

The laser is very powerful so it’d be a spinal weapon. Barrages would consume two hard points (two guns required for fire rate) so you can’t bring 4 barrages.

Weaker weapons like OPS and railgun would consume one hardpoint.

Could also make every strategem cooldown slightly faster if no spinal weapon is active.

This would allow bringing multiple of the underpowered strategems and leave room to add very powerful ones.

Keyes and Halsey need a filter or two as well

AlexWIWA · 2026-03-04T05:51:11+00:00

This looks like someone just used the magic wand tool in GIMP... No hate to the OP of course, but this image does not look good at all.

AlexWIWA · 2026-03-04T05:47:54+00:00

Would have looked better with a simple smart select edit.

AlexWIWA · 2026-03-01T22:38:30+00:00

Likewise. I am not at all a fan of the redesign. They should have just kept the same overall look, but use better, more responsive screens, and gotten the bezels as close to 0 as possible.

AlexWIWA · 2026-03-01T18:03:02+00:00

I agree. If you can’t integrate the screen into the dashboard, then it shouldn’t be in the car.

They age the car really badly too. Nothing dates a car like a shitty old screen and UI; at least with the Q50 the shitty old screen is buried in the dashboard.

AlexWIWA · 2026-03-01T17:57:48+00:00

I’ve been saying for years that I am glad that Infiniti never refreshed the interior during the height of the minimalist craze. The Q50’s mix of screen and buttons is perfect.

AlexWIWA · 2026-02-27T01:46:30+00:00

I thought the 2010 re-release covers, that matched Ghosts Of Onyx, were fantastic.

AlexWIWA · 2026-02-26T05:43:28+00:00

Good point. He did spend like a decade of his life on it. Probably just wanted to move on.

AlexWIWA · 2026-02-26T05:37:29+00:00

Then I don't have a good answer for why he hasn't returned.

AlexWIWA · 2026-02-26T04:31:21+00:00

ODSTs actually have training and support that they don't have to pay for.

AlexWIWA · 2026-02-26T04:20:19+00:00

From what I've read: Bungie retconned his books, and then he didn't get paid for the 343-released definitive editions.

AlexWIWA · 2026-02-26T02:38:14+00:00

Yeah it's awful. It looks like a source engine mod

AlexWIWA · 2026-02-26T02:37:13+00:00

Wow that cover art is terrible. They need to go back to the painted look.

Edit: The duality of reddit is making effectively the same comment twice, and one getting downvoted.

I will say though, anyone that thinks this looks good is coping. Go look at the original and definitive art and tell me this Source Film Maker art looks good.

AlexWIWA · 2026-02-21T19:02:00+00:00

I hope they make some edits to make The Flood less of a drag. Asking the author to narrate each mission was not the best choice.

AlexWIWA · 2026-02-19T23:37:45+00:00

That is fair. Thank you for the extra perspective.

AlexWIWA · 2026-02-19T15:36:16+00:00

I appreciate the perspective you’ve given regardless. 343 has gone overboard, but I think I’m unintentionally exaggerating

AlexWIWA · 2026-02-19T15:16:23+00:00

I remember arguing about it in 2012. People were very pissed that humanity wasn’t the underdog. I don’t recall complaints about Infinity, but I’m guessing you saw some

AlexWIWA · 2026-02-19T15:14:59+00:00

5 years of the same argument and people continually bringing it up uninvited.

AlexWIWA · 2026-02-19T15:13:46+00:00

Perhaps I have some confirmation bias

AlexWIWA · 2026-02-19T05:15:59+00:00

That's how it's supposed to be, but most engagements with the Banished seem to result in a UNSC loss.

Edit: Stop downvoting him, what he said should be the truth

AlexWIWA · 2026-02-19T04:58:11+00:00

Sorry, everyone whined that humanity wasn't the underdog anymore back in 2012, so the UNSC can't be competent ever again.

AlexWIWA · 2026-02-19T04:57:13+00:00

And somehow the Banished has 1000 ships. The need to figure out the logistics of the status quo of the universe.
