    An amazing story and graphics that drive the series forward in a amazing way. The Side Quests are a step forward for RPG games by immersing you into the lore of the world.

    "What were they thinking" comes to mind. Played at launch and have completed the Campaign and played a lot of the MP. So many issues, so many things unfinished. Falls short in every possible metric except disappointment. I expected much more from this franchise with this much backing from Xbox.
    Thank you for reading. Enjoy Gaming.

    Pros: * Graphics / lighting effects inside ships is fantastic. * Combat is quite fun - they've added in some explosion effects with certain types of explosive environmental objects you can toss at enemies which is very enjoyable. * They have added some modules for the suit that you can utilize which are quite well-done. Some are already on the suit at the start    Updated 5/15/23

    Pros:

    * Graphics / lighting effects inside ships is fantastic.
    * Combat is quite fun - they've added in some explosion effects with certain types of explosive environmental objects you can toss at enemies which is very enjoyable.
    * They have added some modules for the suit that you can utilize which are quite well-done. Some are already on the suit at the start (grappling hook), and others you pick up along the way during the narrative.
    * The Masterchief is still the man and I love that. Fan service is a good thing, that's why franchises have fans.
    * Interior corridor levels are pretty enjoyable and definitely remind me of the better / earlier Halo games. Open world combat kinda sucks though as ranged combat was never really a strength of the Halo games outside of some good ol' Hoggin'.
    * Graphics overall they really did a nice job on.

    Cons:

    * Haven't decided yet how I feel about the open world nature of the game once you get out into the open, kinda mixed I guess. I feel like the whole open world map bit is pretty over-done and tiresome at this point. I've never been one to complain about linear games, I find them fun, one of the reasons I thought the first Halo game was so good was it's simplistic approach to storytelling and combat - the combat was just...fun. And you could mostly just run around figuring out how to get a jump on the
    * Cortana's appearance - like Halo 5, they've got her wearing some goofy outfit - Cortana is supposed to be female form moving data - it's like they're afraid of the female form or something. She also walks and moves like a dude now for some odd reason. The Halo 4 Cortana was by far the best version of her - very feminine but you had nothing but respect for her and her relationship with John was very well-developed. I suspect a woke agenda is afoot on this one.
    * The "Weapon" - simplified down to "Counterfeit Cortana" - your new AI that's basically a poor immitation of Cortana in both appearance and personality. Very annoying personality and dialogue. The last game we got the real Cortana in was Halo 4, which I really enjoyed - loved the development of the relationship dynamic in that game between Master Chief & Cortana, and the development there so far seems to be completely thrown away which is disappointing. Everytime Counterfeit Cortana is onscreen I feel like 343 is trolling me deliberately.
    * Boss battles are absolutely awful.
    * Bad narrative regarding the way they have handled Cortana in both Halo 5 and into Infinite - they've basically ruined her character and wrecked the franchise - the "Counterfeit Cortana" they basically replace the real Cortana with is an insufferable bad joke. 343 is now 0 for 2 on their last couple of attempts at Halo campaign games. I'm thankful I never paid for copies of either games and just played them at friends' houses. I own Halo 4 and everything before it, but will never purchase Halo 5 or Halo Infinite due to how disrespectful 343 has been to Cortana's character. I remember hearing about all kinds of development issues with Halo Infinite and it's not hard to see why. Their entire narrative team needs to be fired and replaced. I have a difficult time even acknowledging Halo 5 and Halo Infinite as in-universe-canon narratively due to how bad they are and just how outright disrespectful they are.

    Game Length: It didn't have an hour-counter on it, so I'm just guessing when I say somewhere in the ~20 hour range or thereabouts.

    Final Rating: 3/10. 343 just needs to stop with Halo campaign games at this point. They have proven that the awful Halo 5 wasn't a one-off thing...they are flat out bad at storytelling and with how they handle beloved characters like Cortana. They seemingly get rid of a great character in Cortana and replace her with this pathetic and cheap counterfeit version of her; as if she could be replaced with a clone - nonsense. Very glad I played this somewhere else and never bought it for myself. Never will, with a narrative this poor and so little respect for the characters. And just to update this here after having done a 2nd run-through of it (played the whole Halo franchise start to finish recently)...I remember reading that there were layoffs at 343 not long ago - if they were related to the writing team, then they are very much deserved layoffs. I hope their entire writing team was bounced. I will not purchase any product from 343 Industries until they fix the damage they've done to the franchise with regard to retconning the events of Halo 5 & Infinite and bringing the real Cortana back. Very tired of seeing franchise after franchise get usurped by people who clearly don't even like the franchise and then they deliberately wreck it.    … Expand

    Boring games and its awful controllers when you driving and shooting with the tanks. You turn the tank when you turn the turret at the same time. No good story and I cant see why people see in the Halo games. The first Halo game was good but the sequels are really bad games.

    How far this series has fallen. This isn't Halo, its a woke mess. The devs have focused on social politics instead of making an entertaining game. It looks and plays very sluggishly. Rather go back and play the previous entries in the series.

I get that the game had an absolutely phenomenal showing on release/beta, but it has added little to no content at all since launch.

    The campaign/gameplay gives this a 3 but that is being generous. Even with that the campaign is pretty dull after the first playthrough and suffers, more than benefits, from being an open world with very little in it besides random camps of enemies/random easter eggs. The campaign also has very little in terms of set changes, being either woodlands/banished bases/forerunner buildings for all the levels, so pick green/red/blue and get ready to stare at that most of the level. I also didn't care for the story too much and the characters were alright but I never felt any real connection to them outside the first mission/opening cutscene. That just leaves the gameplay, which is fun but leaves a lot to be desired since there are so many more game modes if I simply boot into Halo MCC and can pick several dozen as opposed to around 5.

    Speaking of multiplayer, it is one of the worst f2p models in a game I have seen and gives almost no real incentive to play it. Why would I sit there for several dozen games to grind a few levels when xxhalomaster420xx just paid 10 bucks to level 5 times? [Hardly anyone mentions this, but there is literally an option to level the battlepass a level for 2 dollars of in game currency, making a lie of 343's comment that there are armors you can only get by playing the game] I dislike being forced to grind challenges in most games, but that is where a good chunk of being able to level comes from. Even 10-20 levels into the battle pass makes you look very similar to every other spartans' 3-4 different preset armor variants. I won't even touch the store prices/content, but it isn't a great look. Combine all of these points with the fact that the awful battlepasses were originally WAY easier to level [as shown in tech previews from july 2021] means they went out of their way to make this progression system tedious and more heavily focused on monetization.

    As a reminder: this is one of Xbox/Microsoft's flagship series, it is estimated that this game cost $500 million to make, and this incomplete mess was the result. With all that in mind this game is a *live service* that has added only a couple maps and a few game modes throughout almost a full year since release shows how much disappointment the community can not only put up with, but be happy with. I am an avid halo fan since combat evolved and mostly play co-op campaign/infection with friends... oh... it has been almost an entire year and I am still waiting for both those things to still be added to a 'live service'...

    This live service was dead on arrival.    … Expand

    Fire 343! They lie, and lie and lie again about the game. Make promises and keep breaking them. Let them work on mobile games or something, they are obviously ill-equipped to handle a property like Halo. The had plenty of chances and 10 years, and they still screwed it up.

    Give Halo to a studio that CAN handle it.

    I can't think of one single positive thing to say. This is just halo 5 with a really small open world and a worse weapon pool. Genuine 0/10, nobody plays this, all the features are missing, the only thing it has is an overpriced store with nothing good in it.

    El aim assist que tienen los de control es simplemente asqueroso, literalmente preferiría que sea opcional el modo cross, porque al menos si me voy a enojar porque me maten, me voy a enojar por que lo hagan justamente, con habilidad, no digo que los jugadores de control no la tengan, pero en su mayoria tienen tanto aim que es dificil no frustrarse.

    Had all the potential in the world and 343i once again prove just how inept they are at basic game design and services. Campaign was fine; played like a 20 hour tech demo and might as well have just started with a hard reboot rather than a soft one since even I, a Halo fan that consumes most of the media, had no idea what was going on half the time. Multiplayer is a joke.

    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.
