The Halo Infinite Campaign is pretty good, a lot of people say that there is no clear direction of the story, however that is very incorrect, it was clear as day that the point was to gain control of the Halo Ring away from the banished, although, the point that the Endless is kind of forgettable is true, there should have been more story to them. The campaign also is repetetive, because the environment never really changes, even though parts of it are very beautiful, The core gameplay of this game is extremely good, even though the covenant weapons are pretty weak, unless you are good at using the stalker rifle. Now that forge is out, and custom browser as well, the game was really well done, very impressive. The main multiplayer at release was really bad, but now, it is alright. There is actually more than 10 modes in this game, there is about 14 and a decent amount of maps to play on. Now all of the negatives come down to 3 main things: Progression system is very middle of the road, and the incentive of playing for career rank is very poor, It it is better than the req system in Halo 5 Guardians, however, you only earn half of the things that you would have gotten, had there not been a paywall from the battle pass. Also the color customization in this game is horrible. The only real incentive of playing the game, being that half of everything is cosmetic, being locked behind the paywall, is to game for gameplay, or if you are competetive, for skill rank. Overall I don't think the game is bad, but I think it to be quite average. I think it is one of 343's better games, however, I think that it is still disappointing that at game release, it wasn't in this state. There are rumors that after this season in Halo Infinite, that they will be adding firefight and the falcon, and from what I have seen, this is the case. However I will not wait to review when they add firefight, as this is the game at it's most completed since it's release. So overall 7/10!!!… Expand

    Writing this review as of middle of season 4. A lot of the mechanical issues of the game have been fixed by this point - though desync remains an issue. Gunplay feels the best it has since release - especially on mouse and keyboard. The sandbox feels extremely balances - especially in competitive modes. Though I don't love the, essentially, neutering of the Disruptor and Mangler.

    SBMM and CSR continue to be an issue, specifically in social playlists. After a rough launch year - communication and updates seem to be more regular than they were previously.

    Cash shop continues to be terribly priced - but with multiplayer being F2P - I'm not surprised. I still would have preferred this been a purchased game without a horrible cash shop. Battlepasses are mediocre - but you only have to purchase 1 to get them all.

    In the end, Halo Infinite still scratches the arena FPS itch for me in a way other games don't, which is why I have it as an 7/10 at this point in time and will continue to play.

    I enjoyed the campaign, but it was just okay.    … Expand

    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

    "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.

    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

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.

Do you like challenges that force you to play modes you don't want to play? Like no Forge or Co-op or a Custom Games Browser at launch? Then your in for a treat! This is a blatant failure of live service gaming, and going free-to-play was a mistake. When you aim for a "broader audience" but alienate your core fans expect a reduced player count on all fronts. Elden Ring demonstrates how to do it right, and has raised the bar. I'm the biggest Halo fanboy in the world, religiously played Halo CE and Halo 3, but I cannot defend Infinite as much as I love playing this game in many ways. It is currently a heartbreaking game in every sense of the word.

    Most disappointing video game of the century currently. Its incredible if we are talking about its gameplay and the campaign is phenomenal. Do you like replaying missions in single player though? Your out of luck, and need to replay the entire game just to get a mission you like! Spend $20 for one armor set, a 1/3rd of the price of the full retail game that once again, you CANNOT mix and match! 343 does not know how to handle this franchise anymore, and I give them only 2 years to fix this mess before Halo NEEDS to go to another developer.    … Expand

    Halo Infinite's campaign in my opinion is the best game 343i has put out, in the mainline series, since taking over from Bungie.
    The change to the format of exploring the story for me is wrong direction. However I can see how open world may be expanded upon in the future expansions and that it has potential to make the best Halo game we've seen to date. But for the current time while the    Halo Infinite's campaign in my opinion is the best game 343i has put out, in the mainline series, since taking over from Bungie.
    The change to the format of exploring the story for me is wrong direction. However I can see how open world may be expanded upon in the future expansions and that it has potential to make the best Halo game we've seen to date. But for the current time while the first impressions of this open space feel enchanting after a couple hours it'll get boring because by then you'll see everything the world had to offer and you'll be stuck with repeating side objectives.
    The main story takes place a year or so after the events of Halo 5. The cutscenes are magnificent in this game and really deserve a praise. Especially the opening one which in my opinion mixes the callbacks to older games with a great setup for a story. I also appreaciate that 343 learnt from their mistakes and don't try to change everything that makes Halo a Halo.
    Halo Inifinite's main plot starts out great but it quickly falls flat as we aren't interacting with any of the significant events that have taken place on Zeta Halo. We only watch it unfold in the cutscenes as we see flashbacks of Cortana taking actions. There's little to none setpieces or outstanding scripted events that Halo games were known for. It feels very underwhelming because it just makes you wish for them even more. The main villain established in the beginning cutscene after his introduction is never seen again and instead we get a subpar version of him in the form of Escharaum. Which never does anything interesting but talks. The story could be significantly improved and I'm hoping that alleged upcoming expansions will do just that.
    The gameplay is honestly one of if not the best in the series. All the weapons feel better and unique. The tools that Chief is equipped with bring a lot of strategy to the game and are fun to fight the Banished or explore the world with. The upgrades make significant changes to the abilities and that incentivizes players to explore the world in order to make those tools stronger.
    The AI feels a little dumber than in the original trilogy but much better than in Halo 4 and 5. I blame it on the openness of the world.
    Vehicles feel extremely weak. They are often very easy to take down and there's also much less of them than there were in the previous games. The vehicle sandbox could use a bit of work.
    Overall Halo Infinite is not the game that will blow you away but for fans of the series it'll be a fine entry. It's not as good as some people make it out to be because it has it's fair share of problems but it's a fun game that may launch Halo back into the mainstream.    … Expand

    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.

    The campaign of halo infinite became repetitive after a few hours, the grappling hook is very fun (especially grabbing and launching exploding crates with it), but it sucks that most of the other abilities in the campaign are just overshadowed by it, it would've been cool to be able to constantly switch between them depending on your situation, instead of opening the menu every time, the open world is mostly empty with a fun few secrets, but other than that, a lot of the map feels copy pasted, a lot of the objectives are the same thing over and over, twelve-hundred blue hallways for some reason, and the story I found pretty mediocre. The game was pretty fun, but a lot of things could've been removed, and others could've been more polished, even though in general I had a good time with the game.

    For me, the best single-player shooter campaign still remains Doom Eternal, with combat so intense I never got tired of it.

    The Multiplayer was pretty fun, but I didn't see a lot of new innovative things, except once again, the grappling hook. There's like 3-4 maps in the game which get repetitive fast, and the only real thing to master is aim and where the weapons spawn on each map. I did like the melee change however, it made the game way more intense in close combat, where you always watch out if your enemy makes a move to melee you, or you're at one HP and you go for a melee before dying.

    But, if I'm looking for a fun multiplayer shooter I'd go with Team Fortress 2.    … Expand

    A good game but could have been way better. The campaign is very short and like all the previous Halo games, the game ends with a cliffhanger in the end which I personally dislike since it takes ages for the sequel to come and I am not vested anymore in the lore.

If you are going to play the game, complete the main storyline till you get the five upgrades and then go exploring the world. Upgrade the grappling hook, the shield and the enemy locator to the max as they are actually good upgrades worth doing while the others are pretty useless. The enemy grunts are funny and the propaganda tower commentary is hilarious. The story was not that great as most of it is scattered across the game and you don't actually find out what happened to Cortana or how she was defeated. Halo sadly has a history of ending the final boss of the game pretty badly like they did to the Flood, the Didact and other great villains in the series and sadly it does the same for this game as well.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played Halo growing up for the story, music, and multiplayer experience. The only thing that I felt was great about this game was the music. The gameplay is pretty good, but that’s it. Story was abysmal- a very ‘tell don’t show’ approach to storytelling. The main antagonist only appears in goddamn holograms until the very end of the game. The game didn’t launch with forge, working custom games, or a dependable theatre mode. (Not even including firefight.) I’m also going to mention the fact that there are very few maps and game-modes, most of which you will get sick of very quickly because they take place in very similar settings as the campaign. I would have rather waited an entire year for the game to come out with forge and working custom games, not to mention the fact that the game went free to play. It’s almost as if 343i doesn’t give a **** about players and only cared about themselves- evidence being the initial state of micro transactions at launch, the fact that custom games is ‘technically’ IN the game at launch- but it doesn’t bloody work! All in all, this wasn’t the Halo game the fans wanted it to be, it’s the Halo game Microsoft wanted it to be.… Expand

    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 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.

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

    In my eyes its insane what some gamers will praise due to the title being a brand name.

While it seems like this practice of "protecting" our favorite franchises has become more or less common place I find it incredibly disheartening that this game in particular gets so much praise for what in my opinion is a lack luster experience over all. Halo infinite is nothing to write home about.

    Story - While Halo isn't know for its revolutionary story telling there is something to be said about the tone and simplicity of the series which really carried a lot of the weight itself. Infinite's story on the other hand promises a grandiose narrative but fails to deliver on most occasions. Its been a while since the events of Halo 5 and for what ever reason the convenient have returns as a new faction known as the banished. Chief becomes stranded with Cortana 2.0 and a nameless pilot on Zeta Halo as they fight to gain control of it. Some random brute chieftain opposes him, there's a strange Alien who is freed from cryo sleep and all kinds of hell break lose. While that may seem interesting at a glace there nothing here to really stick the player to narrative seeing as many of the memorable moments are removed due to, in my opinion, terrible design choices. There is also quite a heavy layer of "meta" context thrown into the mix which at time can feel clever and at other are poorly written and pandering.

    Gameplay - Campaign: Being this a largely multiplayer focused titles I'll break gameplay down into two parts. On the campaign end Halo is like its never been before. An open world experience really changes how player engages with and interacts with the world around them for better or worse. There is something to be said about the one size fits all approach the many AAA studios have begun to take. While the addition of the open world is definitely interesting and shakes up the formula, what is lost due to its really hurts the overall experience. Halo is a very set piece oriented series and by adding an open world to the game the combat arena and set pieces which made for incredibly memorable moment are replaced cookie cutter, capture the base/destroy the tower style side quests that add nothing to the game. On top of this the pacing and intrigue of the story is completely lost when a player can simply choose to run off and complete side quests instead of finishing the main story section by section. While gameplay wise the controls and overall feel are incredibly solid, the experience is ruined by a lack of variety in mission types and locations as well as the favoring an uninteresting, lack luster gameplay over the set piece narrative driven experiences we've come to love.

    - Multiplayer: I could probably write a whole dissertation on why the multiplayer here is inherently flawed but I'll try stick to the main points I want to make and just say this to get is out of the way.

    1) Free to play is not an excuse to release and unbalanced/unfinished product
    2)Battle passes are just as unethical and predatory a practice as loot boxes
    3) Community support is not a option it is an essential feature to any game of this size

    That being said the multiplayer here at its core is the most Halo it has been in a long time. Returning to its roots really serves the game well, some new addition have proven to be valuable to the core gameplay experience. The grappling and repulsar are both wonderful additions, as well as a rebalancing and removal of a lot of copy cat weapons which added too much bulk. At its core this is a very good foundation for a multiplayer game, but its that just that a foundation. To say its bare bones would be an understatement. This multiplayer is straight up missing features and now that the nostalgia has worn off people are starting to realize just how little we got with this release. On top of this, the developers have not only released a battles pass to monetize their fan base with, but locked a core features of Halo behind a pay wall, the customizations. While there is nothing wrong with devs offering addition content at a price (dev's need to eat too) the pointed removal and monetization of standard features really speaks volumes about where the focus of this team is. This coupled with the lack of gameplay options bring up the question of what the hell the team was actually doing for 6 years while making this game. Any one of these on there own wouldn't be a huge deal but when put together its like death by a thousand cut.

    Overall: This is not horrible game, just a deeply flawed experience. Halo tries to excel but always seems to miss the mark, and while it may look like it has a brighter future ahead of itself I really wonder if we would be better just letting Chief rest and moving onto something new. However with the announcement of a battle royale mode in development I doubt we will see Chief get the rest he so desperately deserves any time soon.

    Guns feel way off. The BR does not feel like the BR, I have no other way to say it. Coming back from Halo 4, the covenant weapons felt so wrong and kinda dumb. Doesn't have the same spirit as the old games, feels like 343 killed the magic that Bungie had created all those years ago. It's very apparent that they had no intention of contining it's legacy, and instead it's THEIR version of Halo. Multiplayer felt okay, melee not being as sticky as it used to felt strange and caused some frustration. The money scheme injected into feels inharently Unhalo, and more like Call of Duty. Overall, good on them for making a game in a pandemic. But I'll probably never come back to the series as long as it's in their hands.    … Expand

    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.
