    My second Halo since Combat Evolved. The open-world is nice, although it presents limited variety of activities. Combat is satsfying. Campaign's pretty decent too.

    Главный плюс игры - это геймплей. И про него я могу сказать то, что за последние несколько лет, кроме игры Doom Eternal, не выходила ни одна игра с настолько же проработанным и интересным геймплеем. В игре очень большой арсенал оружия, стрельба из каждой пушки уникальна и не повторяется с какой-либо другой, оружие делится на кинетическое (оружие людей) и плазменное (оружие изгнанников), плазменным очень легко сносить энергетический щит противника, а из кинетического добивать его. Для ближнего боя тут есть огромный молот и энергетический меч, которые наносят очень много урона. Также есть 4 гаджета которые можно прокачивать: крюк, щит, рывок и сканнер. На захваченных тобой базах ты можешь вызывать транспорт, которого очень много, и отправится на побочное задание с солдатами которые постепенно появляются у тебя на базе. Враги очень умные, они реагируют на твои действия и даже комментируют их, их поведение меняется в зависимости от ситуации, отдельный вид изгнанников от безысходности может взять в руки две гранаты и побежать на тебя. Я могу ещё долго перечислять достоинства геймплея, но тогда этот абзац станет в 2,5 раза длиннее.
    Визуальный стиль – это ужас, это просто ужас. Эта игра не красивая, я даже не говорю про графику уровня игр 2018-2019 годов, я говорю про общую картину которая смотрится абсолютно никак. Весь открытый мир – это один биом который состоит в основном из лесов, наполненных ёлками, в редких случаях можно встретить небольшой водоём или гору, но однообразность открытого мира это не отменяет. Но то, что больше всего портит визуальный стиль – это освещение, и оно ужасное, это не описать текстом, это просто надо увидеть, чтобы понять, насколько игра выглядит страшно.
    Мультиплеер в игре отличный, до того момента как ты наиграешь в него часов 20, в нём нет никакой мотивации играть, различные события проводятся редко, но ситуация облегчается отличным геймлеем. Количество игроков в игре стремительно падает, разработчики говорят, что контент в игре появится во втором сезоне, но кто будет играть в этот второй сезон, если к его моменту никого в игре не останется?
    Из мелких минусов я отмечу: высокую цену игры если играть в неё не через game pass, малое количество контента в сюжетной кампании и убогую оптимизацию на ПК.
    Если подытожить всё перечисленное, то несмотря на перечисленные минусы, игра мне понравилась, для меня она стала чем-то новым. Пожалуй, оценю её в 6,5 баллов из 10. Надеюсь, что следующая часть станет большой работой над ошибками предыдущих.    … Expand

    While the map is beautiful and well done, there is no story, just some copy pasted dungeons that lead to boring mini bosses, rinse and repeat until it's done.

    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.

    Sound design, for me, is a hit and miss as always. Weapons still sound very weak (but better than before at least) and ambient sound is still great.

    The worst offender for me however is still the story. I do love sci-fi games, but Halo simply never clicked with me.    … Expand

    The game is the finale for the whole Halo series that brings new ground for the upcoming story and even greater threats. Campaign feels slightly unusual because of huge scale, but overall it's still good old Halo.

    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.    … Expand

    This is another really solid Halo game. There are some issues with a couple of game modes, and the store, but it is a really fantastic game overall, and I've had a ton of fun playing it for the past few months. Also love that the developers seem to listen to and respond to feedback from their fans. This has definitely become my primary game for the foreseeable future.

    Unfinished buggy mess, but even if it was finished, this is the emptiest most pointless and tacked on open world I’ve ever seen. Probably woulda been better if they just made it a focused story. Honestly the game is pretty disappointing. For a flagship AAA title, this needs to be much better.

    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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    - 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    … Expand

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.    … Expand

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

    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.

    It is time to retire master chief. This is by far the best halo campaign in a long time, but the weakest narrative and much of it is brought down by our dead serious green armored super soldier. Chief has never been a man of many words and the voice acting is not but he is so insufferably cold he is unfun to play as. By far one of the least likable characters to play as, chief would serve better as an NPC than a primary character. A majority of the game your AI does the talking, and you respond with one word answers. It makes the AI look more compelling and the supporting cast seem more reasonable than chief. Chief does not feel like a hero, especially with this plot, he just feels stale.

    The gameplay however, does make up for this with one major exception which I will knock out right away. There is no ammo in this game, anywhere. You are forced to swap weapons constantly or else you just won't be able to shoot. There are ammo boxes scattered around for various types of ammo but they're never put intelligently and your ammo reserves are so unbelievably small for some guns. The UNSC shotgun holds 7 in the magazine and 7 in reserve, it is essentially a useless gun due to this.

    However, the ammo scarcity is annoying but once again does not ruin the excellent evolution this game has had. Linear levels still exist, but a vast majority of the game is open and allows you to take your own approach to things, much like a far cry or just cause. Halo greatly benefits from this, but its not supremely in depth. There are several "skills" you unlock and each one can be upgraded with skill points, you can play the entire game without ever upgrading any of these and it is still fine, but upgrading the ones you use the most does add some great benefits, I found that the grapple was the only one of steady use even when upgraded but the others were tossed in occasionally and did have their use every few hours or missions.

    The world is well made but as many others have pointed out, is very one dimensional, its all one giant biome, no diversity and while i don't enjoy it, it's not awful. The amount of side missions and things to do is well spread out and the world changes as you do these which feels great. There is a lack of vehicle gameplay in the game generally, as most missions take you into a structure and then you spend your time traveling through narrow hallways which lead into basically wider hallways over and over. The final few levels don't do that, which is great but much of the gam e does do that.

    First thing with the guns is the sound is incredible, flawless, the sound designers for this game did fantastic, everything sounds perfect. The gun variety however sucks in my opinion, in multiplayer its actually rather fine for that, but in single player there are very few strengths and trade offs to make, some guns are just worthless but you have to use them due to no ammo, or they're just great and need nothing else. I found a majority of the game was spent with the mauler and headshotting enemies. Many classic halo guns and vehicles just don't make appearances which is kind of disappointing but there are some welcome additions. There are unique guns that can be acquired through various means and they never quite explain what the advantages are to that gun and why it differs. I was unable to refill ammo for one by passing over a normal version of the gun which was incredibly frustrating.

    Boss fights are a welcome addition, however some fights were incredibly frustrating for little to no reason and their execution wasn't fantastic, many of them felt like 4 phased bullet sponges. You just shoot it for a quarter health, it turns invulnerable and does some dialogue and then you can start shooting again. They're not perfect, but they do break things up and I can't say they're a complete waste of time, many of my favorite moments occurred during these.

    Cutscenes were fantastic quality, they decided to not do any loading screens for them and I believe they're all rendered as if it were in game, its very seamless and transitions straight to gameplay most of the time. A majority of these however are just holograms, which is rather bland at times but that in part is due to chief being a bad character for narrative.    … Expand

    After the long wait and the ptsd from Halo 5 it's nice that Halo is coming back to form. The campaign is solid and multiplayer is fun even though certain mechanics were missing until recently. I'd say at the very least buy it on sale.

    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.    … Expand

    Graphics look great, but performance is pretty bad. Get ready to lower quality settings unless you're running the game on at least a 3080 with a powerful CPU. Network code is perfect: though it takes a while to load, once you enter the game, it feels like you're playing on your local PC. I haven't seen a single lag- nobody is hanging in the air or teleporting around.

    A pretty decent game, albeit perhaps a bit overrated in the "professional critics" space and by some players due to being one of the few AAA non-Sony PS exclusives to not be entirely **** in the last 2-3 years. Also, I'm only talking about single player / campaign and not taking the multiplayer microtransaction shenanigans into account.

    This is the first Halo game I ever played, and I    A pretty decent game, albeit perhaps a bit overrated in the "professional critics" space and by some players due to being one of the few AAA non-Sony PS exclusives to not be entirely **** in the last 2-3 years. Also, I'm only talking about single player / campaign and not taking the multiplayer microtransaction shenanigans into account.

    This is the first Halo game I ever played, and I have to say, overall, I'm glad I did. I had fun pretty much throughout the whole game with a very few exceptions and the score is only 7/10 mostly due to some things that are very annoying, but do not directly affect gameplay. Yet, those things are still part of the game so can't really dismiss them outright.

    First, let's talk technical stuff - game is optimized fairly well and it pulls off some pretty serious draw distances with not too much additional strain on the HW. I had no crashes, no issues with corrupted saves or anything of the sort, no sound stutter, no freezing during loading, etc. Technical side of things is pretty much perfect - or very close to it at least.

    Graphically, the game looks very good - as mentioned, there are some serious draw distances the engine pulls off and this really feels like an actual huge open world, even though in reality, it is pretty compact actually. However, mostly, the game relies on design and style rather than raw photorealistic graphics, and some of the textures - even in the HD texture pack - are a bit blurry in places, and some of the models, even after some serious upgrades during the year-long delay, still have some space for improvement. A considerable amount of people complain about lack of variety in locations, and while it is true, it would actually not make much sense given the scope of the game and the story, and what is there is well crafted (for the most part, some remote places do have a few floating rocks and such) and looks good. Some of the places I found were downright gorgeous.

    Sound design is pretty decent for the most part, could have a bit beefier sound for some weapons and some vehicles, but it's not too bad. Music is very good, well paced, well placed, not much else to say.

    Now, the gameplay - this is one of the best games, core gameplay wise, that I have played in the last couple years. The combat is just so well balanced, it feels so good to get into any fight, the weapons, with two or three exceptions (two a bit UP, one a bit too good), are all useful in one way or another, the enemies have just the right amount of HP and their AI is pretty decent. The open world isn't really all that open, it's more a segmented / semi-open world, styled a bit as a Ubisoft-Lite kind of thing, most of the stuff is map marked, you reveal the map markers as you progress, and there is some stuff unmarked - some easter eggs, some additional encounters and ways to earn some bonus currency to unlock rewards during the campaign. The open world is okay, it never feels entirely empty, and like the combat, it is fairly well paced with down and up tempo moments. It's nothing special and awe inspiring though, it's "just" well balanced and feels good to play, and honestly, that was good enough for me, not all games need to reinvent the wheel. Traversing is made easy by the available vehicles and the grappling hook, though moving on foot is a bit too slow, and sprinting has a barely noticeable speed increase. Also, I know this is a thing that has been in Halo for some time, but the way vehicle controls work (turning with camera, so by mouse) is just atrocious...

    As for the story, it's forgettable, honestly. The lore is great, I loved delving into it from recordings, notes, etc., but the story itself is meh and I honestly remember F-all of it, and it's only been a week or so since I finished the game. I've seen some complaints it's worse than older games cause there was not enough focus on it, but honestly, I have played a couple more Halos in the meantime and it's about as meh as the rest of them, as far as I am concerned none of them really go beyond the B-grade action movie level. Two things, or rather characters, I remember all too well, though - for all the bad reasons.

    The two main support characters that you drag along throughout the whole game piss me off to no end, they are annoying, useless, ruin the mood - one with incessant whining, the second with crappy, badly timed cringe "jokes". The first one eventually reveals they kinda have a reason and got into this whole mess due to crap decisions and then calms down, but the second is an annoyance from beginning till the end. There was a moment where it looked like I would be rid of them, but no - they stay around and they get somehow even more annoying. F that crap.

    Another thing that annoyed me a bit is the friendly soldiers - much dumber than the enemy AI, with worse abilities and behavior in combat, and no way to tell them to f-off back to base...

    Conclusion: A fun game, but overall not groundbreaking.    … Expand

I definitely praise the campaign, it is definitely interesting and it is definitely not boring. Unfortunately, the open world didn't help much and the game doesn't use its potential.

    As for the weapons arsenal, by the end one only uses alien weapons, human weapons will somehow run out together with ammunition. The base system is not bad, ideal for a starting position for exploring the map. But if you don't like the open world again. Will it be a problem. As for the equipment of John himself, definitely improve the shield to the maximum, anchor to the maximum (40% cooldown will get you practically anywhere, if you don't already have a Wasp open) and then it's up to you. There is more Spartan code on the map than you need for improvements.

    When I compare it with the campaign with the new CoD, despite the bad open world, I had fun. I drowned 18 hours in the campaign (if it was a corridor, we were talking about 8-9 hours), I had fun. Enemies are definitely not boring. And who knows the Halo series will be pleased. Overall, I would rate the campaign at a nice 7.5, as part of the Game Pass you can add an extra point because the new game on the day of release for ridiculous money.

    If we go back to MP, he's a great, hectic, good old Halo. Don't expect anything more. The advantage and disadvantage is the F2P model and de facto the 1st season in the Game Pass. But even there I would go to 8 out of 10.

    So I would leave the overall rating at 80%. It's definitely not a great game, I personally don't even consider it the best part of Halo. But charismatic heroes and their enemies. Great dubbing and an interesting story make it a game that will either suit you or you will simply turn it off after viewing the open world. Nothing more, nothing less.    … Expand

This Feels like the 1st Halo game that has had a real amount of time and passion put into it since Halo 3 and It is a worthy successor. Story DLC is coming in the future and I can't wait. The campaign is a decent length and is in FACT longer than previous titles. The speculative lighting is a wonderful low resource intensive alternative to Ray Tracing but afaik has not been done in any other game. So the graphics are good the game is beautiful af. Ray Tracing is supposedly coming in a future update. (The most valid complaint I have is the Diversity of the Open world. Halo infinite's world is broken into different Islands, These Islands are ALL different but only in subtle ways, The lack of Biome diversity is Canon and is entwined in the story because Master Chief does not explore the entire ring only a small section. Zeta Halo itself has EVERY possible biome on the Ring so I hope future story expands on this further.

    The gunplay and combat in the game is better than everything out right now and feels punchy and juicy. Often hilarious and epic the game is faithful to the core of what made previous Halo games enjoyable and runs with it. Forge, Co-Op, Customs, and many Playlists didn't make it to launch but if that content is even half as good as the rest of the game they still nailed it.

    Normally I wouldn't comment on this but there is a lot of misinfo/ toxicity surrounding this game.

    1) Negative review directly gloss over the Fact that the Multiplayer is FREE. but are acting like 343 owes them something.

    2) Negative Reviews Say 343 doesn't deserve to make a Halo Game but don't realize how much of the original talent and creatives of Bungie now work for 343

    3) Negative Reviews say that it is the worst game in the industry for consumer friendly practice but Halo infinite only monetizes cosmetics and in bundles too. The game is free. There is no locked content. 343 has stated they are in the process of tweaking the monetization and storefront. All other AAA shooters, APEX/COD/FORTNITE/VAL are much worse with their monetization.

    Battle passes NEVER expire in Halo infinite. Their is much less FOMO or artificial scarcity of cosmetics compared to other shooters in general. So in reality Halo Infinite is about as fair as you could expect from a F2P live service.

    Many Negative review say there is a lack of playlists or game modes or content. These reviews are from the BETA or launch week of the game. The Beta was a surprise. People got the game a whole 2 weeks early and still don't know how to have fun. ass of 12/15/2021 they have been adding new playlists to the game so it only took 7 days to resolve that complaint and source of review bombs. It is a live service game so it will continue to add content with each season.

    The Core gameplay is fun as all hell. and at the end of the day that's what matters. The story is very engaging and is accessible to both old and new players. If someone has to go out of their way to review a game a 0 and say its boring their is a bias. Idk anyone who gets bored with a game that's free and goes out of their way to negbomb.

    Halo Infinite has either 2 options:

    -Destroy modern battle royales bringing back a classic fps with a good campaign and many multiplayer modes, becoming once again a legendary game with a mature community.
    OR
    -Join them, with battle royale modes or too much focus on battle pass and micro transactions, and be soon forgotten.

    For the moment, looks like it is going the right way.

Gameplay, graphics, sound design and music were top tier. The enemy Ai's were also really good and are challenging to fight against especially the jackals which surprised me . Definitely a game worth playing and owning. I cried at least once while playing this. Thank you to 343 and Microsoft game studios for another amazing halo game.… Expand

    Certainly one of the best Halo games. Definitely, better than Halo 4 and Halo 5.

    Great game. Has a few little flaws of course, and a few larger things that are being addressed as we speak, but this is a game worth your time. Multiplayer is F2P so literally nothing to lose there! As for the campaign - in my opinion, a bit more worth $40 than $60 unless you are a big Halo fan or really thirsty for a single player FPS right now. Still a great fun time.

    While I can respect the opinion of someone giving this game a middling review score -- to everyone who is review bombing this game with 0's -- shame on you. Disgusting behavior, as usual on places that let users leave a review/score for a game.    … Expand

    Awesome Gameplay.
    Impressive Graphics.
    Interesting Campaign.
    Amazing open-world Design.
    And Well Balanced Multiplayer.

    Halo Infinite has that nostalgic Halo feel. I Missed it. Welcome back Master Chief!

    This is game amazing and a true reform to halo. The gameplay is amazing, the story is solid, and the characters funny and interesting. The multiplayer is also pretty good besides some marketing problems and the challenge system which are both being improved and 343 has already done great changes to make XP gain better. The multiplayer sandbox is so much fun and I just hope 343 adds moreThis is game amazing and a true reform to halo.

The multiplayer sandbox is so much fun and I just hope 343 adds more game modes soon, at the time of writing we already know soon we are getting swat, fiesta, and FFA as new game modes so hopefully other game staples like grifball, snipers only, Infection, and king of the hill come soon. I’m super glad to say that Halo is back.… Expand

    Это лучший шутер этого года, не смотря на позор на е3 2020, игра поднялась с колен. Мультплеер вообще шикарный, вот только проблемы с опытом надо решать, прокачиваться только ежедневками не очень.

    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.
