    I don’t understand the hate for this game. It’s actually quite good. People are upset that the ingame toys cost too much. Everything, except the toys are free, you can even play it offline, for free!

    The equipment in this entry is like H3 and Reach combined to make a perfect blend for the Halo style of play, bringing down the unlimited use of Reach to a 3ish use as opposed to 1 use in H3.
    The sprint speed has been properly reduced so as not to break the map interplay with weapons and equipment spawning on the map that other FPS titles don't have and don't have to balance movement speed against. Clamor isn't like the classic titles that didn't expressly need it, but it clamors at a higher height than crouch jumping. It doesn't replace the usefulness of the more speedy crouch jump, but it does replace grenade hopping by finally putting a speed cost rather than the cost of your shields as opposed to grenade hopping from classic Halo titles.
    The weapons are far more varied than previous 343i titles like H4 and H5, bringing the series back to its roots as a game with a wholly unique weapons sandbox. Every weapons matters and can be mastered, unlike other titles that focus on bombarding you with dozens of the same weapon with slightly different stats. Some fire projectiles that bounce around corners, or seeker rounds, or EMP to take down vehicles and melt enemy shields faster. The sandbox is stronger in Infinite than some of the classic titles.

    When playing the campaign you'll notice the story is much better than that of H5, and actually comes near to the original trilogy in quality. It does lack that classic military vibe, as you're once again not working as part of a military but as a super hero as 343i is prone to prefer to produce (for some reason). The game's identity is a little off due to this, but the campaign as a whole is still in the ballpark of the original trilogy as opposed to the **** show of H5.

    But if you think my criticisms deserves a 9/10, this is where Infinite's bonus strength lies. The Forge mode in Infinite is unlike anything we've seen in Halo before, rivalling StarCraft 2's editor or Roblox in freedom to create, but delivers that in a much nicer looking and better controlled FPS engine. It is very possible to make adventure maps right now, though you'll lack players unless you make it multiplayer. Campaign AI is coming, though, currently the main new feature in development by the forge team at 343i. The game has been out almost 2 years now, and the campaign AI is likely not coming for another 6 months to a year, maybe even more if further difficulties arise, but when it gets added Forge creators will be supplying the game with fresh new campaigns on a weekly basis. Takes about a month to 2 months to make a map, but with a strong forge community you're going to see the strongest support for campaign experiences in Halo history, far outstripping Spartan Ops from H4.

    A Custom Games Browser is in the game now where you can host your own match with forge or official maps and custom or official modes. You can set your lobby to "Open" which will add your custom game to the browser for others to find.

    Anyway, don't believe the bad reviews. There can be some server issues from time to time which can bring frustrations, but if you want to play the best new Halo game since 2007, look no further. The design is what shines, even if the technicalities of netcode are somewhat lacking. On that front, though, 343i has eliminated 90% of the network issues since launch. They're all a thing of the past including melee blanks, weapon firing blanks, vehicle desyncs, banshee coffins, BTB not being able to start a match at all, crashes, random disconnects, etc. etc. It's almost all been solved, and they're pushing to solve what little is left right now.    … Expand

    For some reason people don't like it because you have to aim a gun at bad guys, and it doesn't have a million multiplayer maps?
    And Gamers will be like "ehh it wasn't that good, it's a FarCry clone" and then turn around and talk about how FarCry is the greatest game of all time.

    My opinion may be irrelevant to you: played Halo 1 and 2, but skipped everything else. Halo Infinite Campaign was very satisfying in both open-world exploration and the main story. The narrative is dense and mysterious and really helps you to like those three main characters after all.

    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.
