    So so so much better video game than Cyberpunk2077. 343 shows what real talent looks like.

    Best shooter of 2021!

    Campaign is nice, million times better than Halo 5. Open World could use more variety, hopefully in dlc, but it's still solid. Soundtrack is amazing, but that was expected. I like how Campaign somehow manages to have vibes from Halo 1, Halo 3 and Halo 4. Amazing voice acting from whole cast, but, particularly from new Cortana (Weapon). Boss fights have never been

Boss fights have never been strong point of Halo, but Infinite pretty much fixes that problem. Multiplayer is great, but needs lots of improvements. Overall, it's easily best shooter of 2021, that also has solid story.

    Solid graphics, amazing soundtrack, perfect voice acting. Going semi-open world was right choice and hopefully DLC's expand on that idea with different looking locations. Story was miles better than Halo 5, reminded me combination of Halo 3 and Halo 4. Multiplayer needs lots of work, but even then, it's easily best shooter of 2021. Well Done 343.

    Very good game as expected, i would advise ignoring this relatively mediocre user score, because bunch of trolls and sony losers are giving it low scores, because they have nothing to play this December. How sad. lol. Anyway great story, fun gameplay, more of this please.

    If this game was made by Naughty Dog, story would be horrible, Weapon would kill Master Chief in first hour or so and this big bad guy would win. Thankfully it's made by 343 and story and characters are great, beautiful graphics, amazing soundtrack and fun gameplay!

    Yes gunplay is nice, but where is the rest? Even Super Mario bros from NES had at least a water level and more gameplay variety

    Update: I finished the game and they managed to impress me: This is even more boring and empty than I thought at the beginning.
    Everyone's favorite "press three buttons at different ends of the map" mission and immediately "press four buttons on even more distant ends of the map " - WOW "Defeat 3 waves of enemies in the room "and immediately do the same thing again. Love it. And my favorite: the big boss in the little room with one hit kill. Wonderful.

    Story is ok i guess, but it just starts when game ends

    And the Bad Guy... omg... it's even less then onedimensional... I'm evil and i have a deep voice and i'm gonna talk and you can't skip blablabla... Just shut up, please

    Halo Infinite proves why 343 was perfect company to take over Halo! They wrote beautiful story for Halo 4 and while Halo 5 was bad (Every company makes mistakes), they also wrote beautiful story for Halo Infinite! But now gameplay is also fun, going open world was great idea, hopefully they expand on that idea with next Halo games or DLC's.

    Halo Reach was released a decade ago and Infinite can't support the three things I loved about Halo:
    --Collect Armor (Linked to challenges which are broken)
    --Play Big Team Battle (Servers keep dropping connection and causing error loops)
    --Mess around in Forge (Doesn't exist)

    The gameplay is fantastic, but I have no reason to keep at it.

    This is a mangled, destroyed mess of what original Halo games used to be. The campaign is desperate attempt to stay relevant, and the open world portion is nowhere near as good as other open world games. The multiplayer servers don't even work right, more than half the games that you try to join try to work for a minute before booting you out saying that you can't connect to the server.This is a mangled, destroyed mess of what original Halo games used to be.

The multiplayer servers don't even work right, more than half the games that you try to join try to work for a minute before booting you out saying that you can't connect to the server. They also don't allow you to customize your playlist so you may be playing slayer, capture the flag, or oddball, you never know. When you break down the gameplay its a call of duty ripoff, except no pre-selecting your loadout. The game modes are often based around an RNG factor where the game pretty much just decides to hand one team the win by placing all the objectives closest to them. The server issues spike constantly even when you have a fantastic connection through an ethernet wire (seriously, I've cloud streamed multiplayer battlefield games with a smoother connection than this). The optimization is also pretty shoddy, no other game, including Crysis Remastered, has made my computer heat up so fast. It seriously sounds like its going to melt itself when running this. If you want a great game, go play any halo before 343 got a-hold of it. Expand

    The most disappointing part of Halo Infinite is how 343 decided to handle progression in multiplayer. It is clearly the focus on milking the players for more money instead of awarding us with customization items for being good at the game. This will leave a lot of the Original Halo Trilogy fans with a bad taste in our mouths. Halo was supposed to be different than Fortnite, Warzone and Apex Legends and not only that but 343 did a really bad job at monetizing like the mentioned Battle Royales.

    I think this will be talked about a lot with the Post Release Development team and hopefully they will find a better solution than a 'Battlepass' and over priced customization items.

    The campaign is fun for what it's worth, but it still has its flaws. Contrary to pretty much every other Halo game besides ODST, there's almost no biome diversity.

Contrary to pretty much every other Halo game besides ODST, there's almost no biome diversity. The entire game either takes place in one of three places - a forest, a Forerunner interior, or a Banished interior. That's it. The previous Halo games had their standard faction interiors and forests, but they also had snow-covered canyons, dark and haunted swamps, desert plateaus, jungles, lakes, sprawling cities, ancient ruins, oceanside vistas and cliffs, islands, winding valleys... there's none of that in Infinite. Nevermind that 90% of the games' missions boil down to "go here, press button, then go there, press another button, then go there, press that button, then fight a boss all while shooting things along the way." There's no creative use of vehicles, no creative use of the open map to build compelling and interesting stealth missions, recon objectives, etc. Instead of making HVT's just bosses surrounded by some enemies, why not create a mission that's more elaborate where you have to draw them out of hiding or collect clues as to their location? Capturing FOB's is laughably easy, as each "base" is just a single elevated platform with some fancy fabricator crates lining them. Perhaps the worst part is that none of this is replayable, so once you finish the campaign and all the side missions, there's literally nothing to do. Other games like Just Cause allow you to repeat enemy bases and areas. Games like GTA have side activities that can be enjoyed after hitting 100% completion. Infinite has nothing. Again, the campaign is not BAD. It's actually extremely fun to play through! The problem is that once you're done with it, you're REALLY done with it, and there's nothing to keep you coming back to this vast open sandbox space that 343 spent so long building.

    As for the multiplayer, I'm not even going to say whether Infinite's PvP formula is good or bad, as I don't play PvP, so any opinion in that regard is out of my scope. However, I feel perfectly qualified to say that the PvE and progression in multiplayer is pathetic at best. After 20 years, we finally got bots in Halo multiplayer. Unfortunately, unlike other games like CoD: Ghosts and Gears 4/5 that have multiple PvE playlists separated by difficulty levels, Halo: Infinite only has ONE PvE playlist, "Bot Bootcamp", which runs on Marine-difficulty - the second-lowest difficulty in the game. As a result, matches feel less like matches and more like racing other players to get the most kills on hapless AI. This quickly gets old and neuters any sense of replayability the playlist would otherwise have if it were populated by bots running on ODST or even Spartan difficulty. I've played private matches with bots on Spartan difficulty and at that point, it feels like you're up against MLG pros. THAT is a fun and challenging difficulty. Marine is not. This is an easy fix, but I sadly don't think 343 will do it.

    The progression in this game is truly awful. What's baffling is that 343i already had a GREAT template to go off of with the MCC. It's meritocratic and incredibly rewarding. You can earn more XP by being really good at the game and stomping all over your enemies, but you can also come out of a match with good gains by being a great teammate and racking up Teamwork XP by driving a Warthog for your teammates. Infinite has none of that, and XP per match is strictly capped to fixed payouts with diminishing returns that actively *discourage* extended play sessions. Why in the world is 343 trying their hardest to get people to STOP playing their game?

    Perhaps the worst part of Infinite (okay, it's DEFINITELY the worst part of Infinite) is its business model. This just might be the most insulting business model I've ever seen in a full-price AAA game. And don't tell me "the multiplayer is free" because anybody who cares about Halo is paying the $60 for the campaign anyway. Cosmetics in this game can ONLY be earned by either buying the battle pass with real money or buying them from the store with real money. That's right, there is currently no way to earn in-game cosmetics with in-game currency. There are a few skin sets you can earn by retrieving collectibles in the campaign, but that's it. The rest is all locked behind an atrociously overpriced paywall. Everything from the prices to the structure of this game's cosmetics is absolutely abhorrent. The current battle pass has a Halo: Reach theme, but instead of including the HAZOP helmet in the battle pass, it's a separate store item with a TWENTY DOLLAR price tag! Twenty dollars! And keep in mind, you can only use it with the Mark V armor core, a system which severely and needlessly hampers customization.

    Halo Infinite is a 4/10 masquerading as a 10/10 while being defended as at least a 7/10. It's a deeply flawed, mediocre game that will probably only become fun to play a year or two from now when changes are made. Disappointing.

    I just rate the Singleplayer, maybe for multiplayer matches it's okey!
    So the graphic is okeyish. Not nice, not ugly.
    The gunplay is sooo boring. Almost every weapon in this game plays the same, very few exceptions. They are optimised for the Multiplayer, which seems to be the main product anyway, but do not really make fun in the campaign. While i'm at things not fun: The enemies.

    While i'm at things not fun: The enemies. The saddest thing is that they nerved there unique quirks. For example: In older halo games the grunts would panik if you kill an elite. In Infinite they only very rarely do that.
    Another anoying thing is there bulletspongyness. They just take forever to take down. Not that it hard to do so, you just need a lot of time for every single one.
    Even worse are the boss fights. Normaly in a small area, but always with an absurdely large health/shield pool. I hated every single encouter with them. They even managed to take the fun out of fighting hunter, by giving them more armor and hitpoints. If you knew how to you could outsmart hunters anf kill them with style, now even the "weakspot" takes a lot of bullets (And i don't like to mention the red hunter variation...).
    And from about the second half on there is always some enemy with a rocket launcher/grenade thrower, just to make it anoying to fight anything (Sometime even homing missiles).

    The vehicles are also unsatisfying. The first time you can get a Scorpion Tank is early on in the Open World Part. And normaly, when you get a tank in Halo, there is bound to be fun and you will be death incarnate, as long as you have that tank. But not in Inifinite. Here that thing is broken before you leave that outpost, unless you cleared it before getting the tank. And it's like that with every vehicle, they break faster that dryed bread.
    And what the fugde is wrong with there controls? It feels like you had a drink to much before you took the tank for a ride.
    And who had this borderline dumb idea that a Banshee can no longer hover but always has to move? Suddenly it is unrealistic that the aliance, with all their gravity tek, can build a hovering airship?

    Oh and as a sidenote: The main manu of the game takes about as long a normal level, just to load up.

    So are just so many things that are fundamentaly flawed in this game. I looks like fun, for one hour give or take, but once the nostalgia fades it leaves a very bitter and shalow taste. It fails as an open world title, and it is nowhere near being an entry in the Halo series.
    They tried to cover that with the music and catchphrases in the loading screen, but they failed miserably.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I honestly don't know what this is. It isn't a Halo game, that I know for sure. It's fun, but nothing I haven't seen before. The gameplay is fast paced and fluid enough that it's a fun game to sit around and shoot things in the face. The campaign has unlocks and upgrades that will help you progress. The open map system, while fine and functional, has really killed the "Halo-esq" for this game. I feel like I'm playing Modern Warfare (and a mediocre Modern Warfare at that) and not a Halo. I guess I can understand the decision to revamp the game, but I'm not sure its a welcome receive for the Halo franchise. 343i just doesn't seem to know what they want to do so they'll try anything to breathe new life into the series. When it comes to the lore, I can comfortably say I'm a bit disappointed. As a lore buff, I've read the novels and get really intrigued by all the things lore-wise. This game took everything it had established in the past few releases (of all media, books, games, movies) and threw it all away. They scrapped the story that people were hating on instead of trying to finish it out with a better conclusion. It's not rare for a story to start weak and end strong. In fact I would say many many stories start out a bit weak compared to where its leading. Instead of trying to finish strong, they just... didn't finish and started again. Both of the enemies I was expecting to battle against are gone. All the exciting bits of the story have been skipped over and you start out in a worse position than the last story left you at. Are ALL of the games going to gave humanity in the toilet only for Master Chief to save everyone? In fact, they pretty much start you at bare minimum and in the scope of one game expect some kind of revitalized force. I cant say much more without going into spoilers so ill go into spoilers. Stop reading here if you wish to remain uninitiated.

    I expected to be fighting Cortana as the overall threat that needs to be taken care of with The Banished and Atriox as the more present danger. Instead, in the first hour of the game you learn they're both dead and a new enemy has taken their place. What? What happened? Shouldn't I be playing through the time all of this stuff went down? Why am I so far out of the know? What happened to all that build up? There's just very little pay off. Now we have a brute that made an appearance in one book and a whole new species. Humanity was already in bad shape with basically the UNSC Infinity as it's only force. Then they trash all that in the first 5 minutes too! What's next, Master Chief is naked and has a BB gun? The story isn't automatically epic because you start in such a **** position. I would have much rather had the Infinity as an asset and not just magical plot-armored out the butt Master Chief. You do know that while Master Chief is good, hes not so much better than any other Spartan II, right? He's humanities savior because of his one important role in a grand war, not the ONLY person to fight.

    The game still has a lot of balancing and technical work to be done. Scaling is a pretty big issue. I MAXXED my shields first before unlocking anything else. Despite this, there were still bosses that could one shot me. Some elites, and sometimes more than one, will chase you down ruthlessly, swinging their swords chopping you to bits. 2 good swings and you're dead. What are you supposed to do? You run slower backwards but you have to keep shooting them, which takes FOREVER for them to die. Same with brute chargers. Who thought they were a good idea? The game has a lot of guns... too many. Then they provide you with all of them before a major battle but if you chose the wrong ones, now you're stuck in the save and have to scurry around and find the weapons you need with a boss that has the potential to one shot you. The other Halos would make the weapon you should be using obvious by having it laying in the middle of the floor or tucked away within reach. Even then it wasn't impossible with any other weapon. I still don't know how to reliably take down hunters. It's nigh impossible to get around them so you're stuck plugging away at the orange bits you can see. They will track you despite obstacles and will ALWAYS face you. They don't melee nearly as much so you can't bait an attack and they spam their gun at close range making it suicide to try anyway. The back armor breaks off like always, for all the good it will do since you'll never be able to shoot it. Jackles now have an even smaller bit of their hand sticking out to hit to stagger them and they'll swap positions to the top of the shield too. In conclusion, it's not a masterpiece, and you may be thrown off by the story, but its still fun to play and mess around with. Don't bother buying it for lore purposes as it pretty much throws it all out of the window anyway.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished it, took me 14 hours on Normal. Did all side quests,propoganda towers,rescue ops,f.o.b and collected all Spartan Cores. Didnt care to collect dolls and audiofiles. IMO This is game is way too overhyped and over-praised
    Which i assume is because of the failure of this year's COD and Battlefield (well at least in my country) .
    This was below my expectations. Reasons being
    There is an openworld but there is zero variety and the missions in Halo 2 has more variety in the landscape.
    The story is being given more credit than it deserves. Too many things are left for DLCs. All Master Chief accomplished was the prevention of the repair of the Halo Zeta and some e-romance closure. Thats it. Atriox is still alive and kicking, and the final boss Harbinger still succeeded despite us defeating her. And why was Cortana killed offscreen before the game even began? Wasnt she the future bad guy set up in Halo 5 :Gaurdians?
    Are they gonna kill Atriox offscreen before the start of the next Halo game?
    I have a GTX 1070 system, and i play open world games like Farcry 6 fine at 80+ fps High setting but this game run like **** (40-50fps) when i step outside in the open world. I know its a Xbox Series X title but PC optimisations need to improve. The open world isnt even varied or complex, neither is it big.
    And i thought this is Microsoft's biggest gaming project in the past 5 years yet we have cutscenes only at the start? Cutscenese dont enhance gameplay, but if the cost was cut there, why wasnt the money allocated to building a better open world?
    People say it has awesome action, run and gun gameplay etc but i think the only standout feature was the grapple hook which brought new dimensions to the combat mechanics. However, this is what i used 95% of the time. No need to upgrade other skills. Even when i encountered those invisible baddies, i just grapple+shockwave the area where i suspect them to be and BAM they are visible or dead. The 4th and 5th skill was useless.
    They should had added incentives to kill bad guys. In most missions i simply went from checkpoint to checkpoint whithout killing the enemies. Kinda reminds me of the recent disaster of a game-D&D:Dark Alliance. Maybe they should make killing enemies grant us some honor currency that can be used to purchase vehicles and guns in the F.O.B. (instead of getting it for free after unlocking them with valor). I mean, u can just give all your soldiers the HVT version of Cindershots for free and bring them along to annihilate every enemy (as long as they are on a vehicle, else they die very easily). Speaking of HVTs that gaurd special unlockable weapons. I shot all of them with a sniper. Hope its not so easy in harder difficulty levels.
    The Grapple hook+AOE shockwave combo and the vehicles are too overpowered on Normal. Word of advice. Dont play on Normal, its too easy.
    And oh my god the Bugs..the Bugsssss. Dont get me started on it. If you play it on PC, youl already know.
    I am not into arena style multiplayer shooters. Played the multiplayer on Steam during Beta and its just isnt for me.
    Now you may say BuT HaLo iS sUpPosEd to bE pLaYed iN HaRdEsT DiFFicULty well my opinion is that if a game is underwhelming in its default/normal difficulty then its underwhelming overall. Plus difficulty levels wont help improve PC optimsation,bland story,boring open world etc.
    So all in all, the 14 hour experience wasnt worth the money.
    I rate it 5/10
    (when compared to Halo 1)

Devoid of meaningful plot points - the few that genuinely advance the story are lost in a muddled goose-chase led by childishly shallow villains delivering hollow boorish monologues. You'll beg for the campaign to end and be rewarded with nothing good.

    Nothing to write home about.

    Some annoyances: 1. Poor performance. I'm usually at around 70-80 fps, but there are a lot of drops below 60 fps as well, despite the fact that I'm using an RTX 3080 card and play at ~1440p with several graphics options lowered from High to Medium. 2. No dedicated fullscreen, so you need to choose between windowed mode or borderless. There's also no way

    2. No dedicated fullscreen, so you need to choose between windowed mode or borderless. There's also no way for you to alter the internal resolution, so you're forced to either use resolution scaling or change the resolution of the monitor itself.
    3. The open world feels empty and pointless, since everything looks the same everywhere.
    4. Only some of the collectibles are marked on the map after clearing outposts, so you'll be looking for needles in a haystack or be forced to use a walkthrough if you want to find the rest of them.
    5. Some of the collectibles are located in mission areas you can't return to, and since there's also no way to replay missions after they're finished, you're permanently locked out of collecting these items (and thus also 100%ing the game) unless you get them all the first time you play these missions.
    6. Collectibles you've already picked up still show on the map. You can barely tell them apart from uncollected ones, and there's no way to filter which ones to show.
    7. Boring story.
    8. No co-op.
    9. Awful enemy design. The antagonists look like some sort of space gorillas, with little to no variation from individual to individual, and they all have the same burly voice.
    10. Bullet sponge enemies. You'll have to unload a whole stream of shots into their unarmored heads for them to die, and even more if you're hitting armor or anywhere else on the body.
    11. Enemies can kill you in one hit from full HP even on lower difficulties, forcing you to clear out an entire area all over again.
    12. You randomly fall through the ground of the game world and die. This has happened to me on several occasions, usually when I'm using a special ability.

    I'll update this review if I notice anything else.

    Painfully milquetoast game with an egregious cash grab in-game store.
    Campaign consists of a mediocre story and a vast EMPTY open world.
    Multiplayer is where 343 absolutely dropped the ball and killed off all hype players holding on hope had for the game's success.
    It's an easy no from me.
    If you want an actually good Halo experience go play the Master Chief Collection.

    It's a good enough videogame, would be better if it wasn't called "Halo". It's a husk of an IP for name recognition stuffed with generic videogame elements and current year cutesy "nothing is serious" humor. Halo should have ended with 3, and they need to call the new stuff something different, because while it's fine, it's just has nothing to do with the original games.

    To note some of the issues:

    - Tacked on open world that although visually appealing lacks purpose / depth. Repetitive copy and pasted objectives that are just flat out tiresome and boring to complete and jarring to go between fleshed out story missions then returning to skeleton objectives. It feels like they are just jumping on a trend, much like their multiplayer battle pass.

    - The story of the game is just meh, no spoilers but I can summarise it as retcon the Halo 5 story without retconning the Halo 5 story.

    - Boss battles aren't fun. They are just normal enemies with larger health bars in most cases. Seems like there isn't a technique or much skill involved to defeat them, most times it seems to come down to RnG.

    - Not shipping with COOP! This is a big one, given it's a halo staple.

    - Not enough ammo / enemies with too much health, you find yourself in a constant struggle of not having ammo and having to constantly pick weapons up that often suck. That and getting locked into linear parts of the game with garbage weapons.

    Lots of potential but just doesn't feel quite there... If I had to suggest improvements:

    - Troop ranking system similar to Halo wars, to give incentive to keep marines alive and take them with you

    - Some sort of base upgrade system

    - Allow team killing of marines, this has always been in Halo seems odd to have removed it now

    - Fix the map, on PC it's borderline unusable due to it's controls with the mouse moving the map position... That and it needs more functionality like ability to filter on objectives, see them from a distance etc.

    - Have somewhere in the gui to show overall collectables progress, it's frustrating to hover up and down the map trying to work out if you got them all

    343 should be ashamed. This game would have had so much potential had the developers just cared a little bit about their fans and the quality of their game. It was great when it first came out, I loved it.

It was great when it first came out, I loved it. It had its flaws like any other game, but it was still Halo and I just expected that 343 would be active in communicating with their community and fixing issues with the game. Fast forward 4 months, and I can honestly say, I could not have possibly been more wrong. 343 still, as of right now (March), has essentially done nothing whatsoever to fix their game, let alone, added any content besides the occasional new, and usually awful, temporary game mode! Don't worry though everybody, the battle pass is still getting a weekly update by these awesome developers. You know? The thing that they charge their fans $10 a month for? All for items that should be free, and made Halo so much fun to play 10 years ago? Look, I understand that the game is free, and the battle pass is how they make their money, but the fact that the battle pass is more polished than the actual game itself is downright comical. It's almost like they said: "The game isn't finished, but I want money, so let's make the battle pass, and release it before Christmas because we know parents are gonna buy it for their kids, and then after that, we can go on vacation for four months." All jokes aside, I will say, Covid has been a big issue for companies, especially 343. Totally understandable, I also can only program games in an office setting, and could never do so at my house, especially with Covid and its cyberattack tendencies. Apparently, Covid has been actively targeting and attacking the routers at the homes of the developers of 343. Scary stuff. Anyway, I'll be back to check on the game in about five years when it might be good, which is still one year less than it took 343 to make an unfinished game. Expand

And how does 343 rectify Cortana's actions in Halo 5? She, the galaxy spanning ruler who is in control of the Guardians, is somehow killed by Atriox (never explained how) and then replaced with a new Cortana. If that isn't the definition of lazy writing, I don't know what is. The whole story should have been a small DLC.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finished playing this campaign yesterday, but I wanted to wait a day before writing this review to make sure my analysis was more grounded. I was massively disappointed in this campaign. The only thing about the experience that makes it salvageable is the core gunplay. It's very polished, and while some weapons are clearly better than others each has a niche it can be useful for.

    Moving on to the shortcomings. The story is bland and uninteresting. The writers clearly have no idea how to push the story forward, and it becomes more apparent the longer you play. There is a huge reliance on nostalgia and annoying holograms to fill in the blanks for the story when those blanks desperately needed more screen time than what was actually focused on. Killing Cortana offscreen was incredibly dumb, since it wastes all the time spent building up to her conquest during Halo 5. The villain of the story satisfies every cliche you can think of. 95% of his screen time is spent gloating to the Chief about how he has won and that he is big and tough because he beat the UNSC. It gets old very fast.

    Moving on to the level/world design: it's not that great. Sure, it LOOKS great and the world the Chief explores looks very polished (except for the massive frame drops you'll experience; seriously, the game dropped below 30 FPS at times while I was playing), but there's no substance to anything. You spend way too much of your time just walking from place to place, and the interiors you explore are uninspiring and copy-pasted all throughout the game. There were several times where I wasn't even sure if I was going in the right direction because everything looks the same (despite using the navigation tool). Most of the side activities boil down to 'go to this place and kill this enemy' which is exactly what you do in the main story, so it just comes off as padding.

    I could go on, but I think I've made my point. In the months leading up to this game's release I was so excited to play this campaign, but I mentally checked out around halfway through and only finished it because I spent $60 and wanted some form of closure however unsatisfying it was. If you haven't bought this game, i strongly recommend waiting for a price drop or getting it through Xbox game pass so you don't have to pay full price for it. This game is incomplete and unsatisfactory, and it is not worth the price tag.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. En esta nueva entrega donde 343 Industries presume de una nueva Era de Halo y el Halo más ambicioso ,vemos un gran intento de regresar a sus inicios y reconquistar a sus fans y por fin crear un Halo a la altura de la trilogía original.
    Pero la gran interrogante ¿LO LOGRARON?
    Les adelanto , No realmente.


    Antes que nada me gustaría hablar un poco de Halo Wars 2 ya que es mi juego de 343 Industries favorito. Para muchos no fue de lo más popular ,en mi opinión ha sido lo más cercano que 343 posiblemente estará con los juegos originales.

    Ya que cuenta con un estilo de arte impecable que evoluciona el arte de Bungie,lleva la narrativa a un ambiente épico con personajes refrescantes,el increíble regreso de El Flood ,una historia emocionante  y un Villano a la altura de lo que merece la franquicia.

    Cuatro años después se anuncia la nueva entrega de Halo protagonizada por el Jefe Maestro ,Halo infinite donde se presume de un mundo semiabierto ,un anillo misterioso y un Soft-Reboot de la serie.

    En 2020 el tráiler que propuso el meme de "Craig" dado a la deficiencia de calidad gráfica del videojuego , provocó su retraso 12 meses así llegando hasta el 8 de Diciembre del 2021.

    Unas semanas antes del estreno se lanzó el Multiplayer Free to Play de Halo Infinite bajo la categoría de Versión "Beta" dónde si el gameplay se sentía solido y bastante parecido a la trilogía original pero la esencia de Bungie en el "Gunplay" es irremplazable.

    Se lanzó con muchos problemas de Monetización agresiva ,falta de variedad de listas de juego ,escasez  de armas icónicas , un sistema de Personalización y Progresión muy limitante .

    Llegando el día de estreno oficial se lanzó el modo historia de Halo Infinite donde por fin se reveló la verdad sobre el título.

    La historia comienza donde Atriox arrasa la UNSC Infinity junto con el Jefe Maestro en menos de 4 minutos , dejando vivo al Jefe a Merced de la oscuridad del espacio profundo.

    Más tarde "el piloto" lo rescata del limbo espacial así comenzando la historia.

    Resulta que las Fuerzas de los Desterrados controlan el anillo dónde una parte fue destruida a razón del sacrificio de Cortana con el propósito de detener y remendar su pasado erróneo a manos de los Desterrados así impidiendo la activación de Zeta Halo  unos 6 meses antes del presente.

    El trabajo de John 117 es liberar el anillo de las fuerzas Desterradas e impedir la reconstrucción del mismo encontrándose con amenazas potenciales de "la mano de Atriox" y un nuevo personaje conocido como
    "El Heraldo de la Verdad".

    El sistema de juego me pareció particularmente divertido e interesante ya que contamos con un conjunto de habilidades que se pueden mejorar   conforme vayamos liberando y rescatando el terreno del anillo en favor de la humanidad.

    Pero aquí viene el gran pero y el punto agrio del título ,la historia ; Carece de un gran desarrollo argumental dónde los personajes no llevan a ningún lado ,no hay una profundidad narrativa dónde que lleven a emociones como tristeza , angustia, enojo etc.

    En su mayoría trata de el piloto y un cierre más dónde la muerte de Cortana ocurre .Los personajes nuevos como Escharum ,sus secuaces y El Heraldo se ven prontamente desaprovechados y eliminados por su muerte.

    La historia se siente como un gran potencial de los villanos sin motivos de peso y  tirados a la basura, dónde el final habla de "Los Eternos " .

    Una raza Nueva que sin motivos ni información aparente son revividos por parte de un Atriox superviviente y nos dicen que es peor que el "Flood".

    En mi opinión está historia ha sido de las más planas, poco desarrolladas  y más aburridas de la época 343 Industries, una verdadera decepción que lleva solamente a posibles Dlc's de pago para Halo Infinite en su plan de 10 años como juego de servicio copiando el modelo de Destiny de mal manera y faltando el gran aspecto mmo RPG con el que cuenta dicho título.

    En conclusión Halo Infinite es una De-Evolucion en la calidad de la franquicia ,que propone un gameplay divertido ,una historia de la más simplona , aburrida y que menos aporta a la franquicia, una dirección de arte muy deficiente dónde todo se ve aparentemente bien pero con una gran carencia de realismo y pésima iluminación,dónde se asemeja con títulos como Fortnite ,que se ven caricaturezcos y nítidos .

    Un mundo semiabierto muy poco desarrollado, inconsistente,sin ser para nada interactivo ni reaccionante  ,incompleto y repetitivo.

    Un intento nostálgico que lleva a la mediocridad del potencial Infinito que pudo ser el mejor Halo y la redención de 343 Industries .

    Me duele mucho decir esto ya que soy un fan desde Halo CE he jugado y atesorado todos los  juegos de halo .Pero después de esto y de que no se dieron cuenta de que Halo Wars 2 fue posiblemente su mejor intento hacia la perfección y real evolución . como dirían de meme pero es la realidad :

The single player campaign is a 6/10 for me. The first hour or so before you get into the open world is a boring slog. Some of it looks good but some of it looks really bad. The animations on some of the enemies looks good but the cutscenes are pretty horrible. The main bad guy is cliche and seems very one dimensional. I don't really care about his threats, who he is, or anything about him.

    Once you get outside it does get better but it is just not that great. The open world looks okay but things in the distance look bad, some of the effects are terrible (tire tracks), and it just looks like a game from 4 years ago. I also find pilot annoying, he just complains the whole time and the open world is just okay. When I'm playing it I just keep thinking is this game better than other open world FPS games and I keep coming back to the same answer, no. It doesn't look better, the world isn't better, the story is weak, etc. If it wasn't Master Chief I think people wouldn't be giving this game anything above an 8, the nostalgia is definitely boosting a lot of these scores.

    I would say if you aren't invested n the Halo universe then you're not going to love this game. You'll probably have a decent enough time but it really isn't all that. Don't trust anyone who's giving this game a 10/10, they have rose tinted glasses on.

    Multiplayer is unenjoyable with horrible desync that will leave you wondering wtf actually happened every time you're killed or wtf the other player was trying to do when you killed them. Watch in awe as you empty your magnum and AR clips into an enemy to have your goofy talking and silly looking spartan fall limp to the ground with a melee "thump" resulting from an enemy one-shotting you with an AR round. Bask in the glory of the newest Halo game with the worst mechanics yet with a melee shot to the back of an enemy only to find yourself, again, limp on the ground laid low by a magical reverse-melee hit to the back of your head from an enemy in front of you. Shotgun blast to enemy's face? Won't even slow them down as they walk past and kill you like they picked up a Mario star or something.

    Play a halo looking game with seemingly rng for who is blessed with the slightly less worse desync, get aimbotted so hard, so fast, that your match will (luckily) be over faster than you can say "nade spam is a thing now???"

    From match to match you'll be a superstar seemingly matched against first time ever FPS players who are running around shooting and meleeing in every direction but where you are, or be the player who looks like you're first time playing FPS while your client and controller vibrate and score enough killshots to clear every ring in the universe without actually landing a single shot on the server side.

    It's like playing with a difficulty setting that adds 500ms ping to your 50ms connection, you'll feel pretty accomplished for getting a kill in a match against those magic, near invincible, ninja spartans on the other team. Is it a crossover with Matrix and they're dodging bullets faster than you can see? Who knows, but you'll get the full NPC experience as against all odds your opponent will shrug off grenade blasts, full clips from both your weapons, and a melee to the face only to walk past leaving you dead on the ground.

    Don't even worry about learning weapons and honing your close combat skills, all that matters is who is actually synced to the server, and who has a rocket launcher.

    Excellent return to form that kicks off a new saga. Feels much like Halo 1. A more personal story that gets rid of the overly bombastic scenes to be more grounded and personal. Open world is excellent with the grappling hook. Game is unique charm that is hard to explain but the gameplay loop is same halo that has been refined to a diamond.

    TL;DR If you like open world games like the ones Ubisoft makes then you will probably really like this, as it is a very good addition to that genre. If you're a long-time Halo fan hoping for a return to form than you may be disappointed.

    I genuinely did enjoy a lot of my time with Halo Infinite, but the moment I realized I was about to start the final mission of the game I realized that this game was never going to capture the essence of the series it claimed it would, honestly I don't think they were ever trying to.

    Halo Infinite is a step up from 343's last title, but at the end of the day it still falls victim to all of the studio's shortcomings; and despite the return of the classic artstyle, this is arguably the least "Halo-like" game in the series.

    Every installment in this series since Reach has strayed further away from the original formula, which makes sense since the games are now being made by different creatives and developers. However this game's jump to the Open World format, along with many different gameplay and direction decisions takes it beyond just a different take on the series and ultimately makes it feel more like its own IP, vaguely inspired by Halo.

    A common criticism I've had with Post Bungie halo games is that it feels like the developers are overthinking which direction to take them. In my opinion, Halo's greatest strength has always come from being accessible yet rewarding experience; feeling immediately comprehensible for new players yet having the mechanical depth to still have a pretty high skill ceiling (In both single and Multiplayer). Halo Infinite, however, Has so many mechanics and systems at play that, while not overwhelming, that sense of accessibility feels lost. With the entire game world being saturated with specific damage-type explosive barrels and identical bases to capture and operate; then populated with so many variants of the same enemy that it's hard to tell which rank each variant is, the game effectively trades all immersion for constant reminders that the skill ceiling exists and if you're new you know how bad you are.

    The core gameplay is fun, but almost completely devoid of Halo's key elements. Every weapon has hard scoping, sprinting and Doom Eternal style movement mechanics are necessary to get around and battle tougher enemies, You can refill an alien weapon's ammo without finding a new one, and the actual tradeoffs between damage types has been minimized, with all weapons, even automatic and plasma guns doing head-shot damage. All these little changes don't need to be bad on their own, but they add up and ultimately make the gameplay feel too generic and like anything else you'd get from any other Triple A studio these days.

    Even the actual way the Universe is explored through the game feels lacking. In previous games each faction felt distinctive in their appearance and weapons, but in Infinite not only is there very little visual identity between the weapons of each faction, but enemies will some-what frequently use UNSC weapons against you, making the banished feel far less distinctive as an enemy than the covenant did. All this alongside all weapons having headshot damage and reloading makes them all feel too similar.

    The Story and campaign rivals Halo 5 in narrative failure. The story isn't nearly as frustrating to sit through, but it is arguably worse in that nothing really happens, yet plot-lines and characters are buried so that they can't even be revisited. Without spoiling anything, very few characters from previous games appear in Infinite, the closest we get to representation from any pre-existing supporting cast are some collectable audio files. Worse yet, major storylines are entirely resolved off-screen, while the main campaign takes the player through dull objective after dull objective, with actually essential information to the plot being deeply confusing and largely reliant on the player collecting hidden audio files to make even a little sense.

    All around Halo Infinite is a perfectly fine open world action game; but as a Halo game it fails spectacularly, and strongly suggests the devs at 343 would be more comfortable making their own IP than trying to modernize Halo. While as a longtime fan I have almost nothing positive to say about it, I won't rate this any lower than a 7 because the game does very little "wrong" from an independent design perspective. It merely fails to revive the franchise it promised it would.

    It's time that Infinite finally starts to reflect the score it deserves. It launched in what is effectively the most bare bones state of any Halo game.

The other missing half is Forge mode, which let's the community pump out content faster than any dev team can.

    Then there is all of the server and gameplay issues. Desync and server connections are abysmally poor for a company that has shown great success in patching up the MCC systems. Hit registration is practically non existent, desync causes clipping issues, and the list goes on.

    Then there is the store. The one thing in the game that actually seems finished and is garnering the majority of 343's attention while literally strangling the players freedom to customize their Spartan by locking the majority of content in the game behind an arbitrary pay wall.

    As it stands now, Halo Infinite should have either remained in development for another 2 years to actually finish the game, or just never been released and instead relegated to the eternity that is dropped titles. All it is right now is a huge stain on the Halo legacy.

    There's a lot of new weapons in this game, as well as like half of the classics. They're all so fun to use and none of them (besides the plasma pistol) feel like a "low tier" weapon. I am constantly cycling through the plethora of guns you come across. Although this game is apparently very CPU heavy and there is some weird frame pacing sometimes, the graphics are amazing in my opinion.There's a lot of new weapons in this game, as well as like half of the classics.

    If you are considering spending $60, I personally would wait until a sale, or updates fix the technical issues, and co-op are added

    Halo Infinite is the best shooter of 2021. With much anticipation from the fans, 343 Industries brought a great multiplayer experience and a story as a love letter to the Halo series. With some bold innovations, the game pulls all the best from previous iterations and makes it into one of the best FPS games in recent history.

    Halo Infinite was supposed to become a flagship title for “the most powerful console in the world,” but in reality we got an interlude of a story devoid of epic set pieces, a template for something greater that may or may not arrive in the future, an empty “open world” punctuated with interior design circa early 2000s. If not for the awesome shootouts, Master Chief should have been jettisoned back into space.

    The new Halo game is far from flawless. There’s no co-op, even though there should be, and there’s a boring open world, even though there shouldn’t. The multiplayer feels unfinished as well. Still, at its core, it’s a solid story-driven shooter with a more-than-acceptable Cortana replacement.
