    Одна из немногих игр за последнее время в которую я прям заигрывался. Отличный геймплей, трогательная, хоть и посредственная история. Мультиплеер тоже доставил достаточно удовольствия, но по началу не хватало прогрессии, похожей на то, что имеем в cod. Техническая составляющая тоже на уровне - за все прохождение не встретил ни единого бага.Одна из немногих игр за последнее время в которую я прям заигрывался.

    The game is incredible on PC. The only downside is feeling like mouse and keyboard sometimes can't compete against a controller with aim assist.

    GG's bro. Open world got a lots of things to do. Campaign may be over prized but brings back the halo vibe way better than 4 & 5. I hope that they'll add some dlc for alternative story because the only thing perspective we saw was the master chief's. Maybe dlc's for what the "other's" were doing. I want more of thissssssssssss.

    It was a beautiful game :) Be sure to play it. I personally love Mr. Chief, who is one of my favorite characters, so if you have not played, be sure to play.

    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

But despite that it feels incredible and over time this game will be insane.

    I'm not finished with the campaign yet so things may change, but I do have 23 hours of play time with about 4 of that in campaign and i'm absolutely obsessed so far. Most of the reason I have it as a 9/10 is because of the multiplayer issues and the fact co-op and forge are coming 6-12 months down the line.

    This is an absolute must-play game and its definitely my favorite game of 2021, perhaps my favorite over the last several years.    … Expand

    This is the very first Halo game I ever played, so coming in I had no idea about anything in this universe -story wise but it did a pretty good job at making me curious and maybe I will try older games of the franchise as well, or at least read up on the lore. Its not one of the best stories out there but 1st person shooters with good stories are like unicorns...

    Overall, I'd say it is one of the best games that launched this year.    … Expand

    - No bugs, glitches, crashes (running on 5950x + 3090 on an NVME, so it's highend - lower speccs reportedly lead to performance issues, you might want to wait until that is fixed with a patch)
    - The world is full of details to various franchises and there are a load of references to older Halos
    - The story is fun and well done (have not yet finished the game, but currently are in the last chapter)
    - The graphics are amazing. Finally, a Halo with 2021 graphics. The details are amazing. On a 4K OLED TV... glorious. Simply glorious.
    - The sound is also well-made, if you can play this on a dedicated surround sound setup - DEW IT!

    It's just a shame that this game does not have coop at launch, I would love to play this campaign with friends. That's why I will only give 9, not 10 stars.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm not even sure where to begin writing this review. There are just so many good things to talk about. I guess I'll start with the cinematics since the first thing we're introduced to is a phenomenal cutscence. The game looks absolutely gorgeous, even during gameplay. Beautiful game in that category. Since I mentioned gameplay I might as well talk about it. This campaign was a great joy to play, I loved every minute of it (well, I played on legendary and died a lot which was upsetting but that was my own fault). It was just so much fun to load up a razorback with Marines and go hunt the VIP targets or sabotage Banished operations with them. The dialogue between Marines was done very well and the Banished dialogue gave me plenty of chuckles. The driving felt a bit off at times, especially with the scorpion but it wasn't enough for me to quit playing, just a slight annoyance at the most. But something that was actually very pleasant was the music. The music synced up perfectly with the situation you were currently in, whether it be at a FOB, assaulting a Banished base, or in a more serious setting during a cinematic. The music absolutely blew me away, even during times when I was just walking through hallways or exploring an empty room, the music did an excellent job at setting the mood and really made me feel like I was in the moment. The atmosphere and tone were near perfection. Finally the story (minor spoilers maybe), probably the only reason this game doesn't get five stars from me. I understand damage control needed to be done after *cough* Halo 5 *cough* and I haven't listened to all of the audio logs yet as the open world is pretty large and I haven't found them all. But there were some parts that just seemed tedious. Why do I have to walk to the next room that's 20 feet away to get a power seed to power up a machine to unlock a door? I get that it was supposed to make it seem like the Banished were trying to slow us down, but they weren't trying very hard if that was the case. Just a minor inconvenience. And the second fight with Adjutant Resolution wasn't really necessary it seemed, I thought we had killed him in the first fight anyway. Besides the unnecessary steps or tiny little fetch quests, the characters in the story were phenomenal. Master Chief felt like Master Chief again, man of few words and felt like a war machine, like what he was created to be. But it was also nice to see him relate to Fernando Esparza when the pilot had a breakdown. Which brings me to character development. It was done so well in this game. In the beginning of the game the pilot was worried and scared and just looked hopeless, probably how we all would have felt if we were in his position. But at the end of the game he was joyful and happy and constantly smiling, probably because he realized they actually did have a chance with Master Chief around. The voice acting was top notch, it really helped paint a picture of the differences between the Banished (Escharum) and humanity (Master Chief). The banished were hothead and cocky as they had believed they already won, while humanity was calm and collected while they tried to figure out how to turn things around. In the end, I really enjoyed this campaign and went in expecting it to just be a hot pile of garbage as I've come to expect of Halo campaigns recently, but I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself getting lost in the open world or finding myself connecting with the story. An absolute gem.… Expand

    I have been playing the Halo series since Halo 2 came out and though I look back on 1, 2, 3 and Reach very fondly, 4 and 5 (though enjoyable) wasn't hooking me like the other games, don't get me wrong, it was still a blast to play but it just didn't have that same effect as the original trilogy and Reach. However I was quite hyped for Infinite and I am very much impressed with the game.I have been playing the Halo series since Halo 2 came out and though I look back on 1, 2, 3 and Reach very fondly, 4 and 5 (though enjoyable) wasn't hooking me like the other games, don't get me wrong, it was still a blast to play but it just didn't have that same effect as the original trilogy and Reach. However I was quite hyped for Infinite and I am very much impressed with the game.

    Story - Halo has a very deep story with lots of lore found in all forms of media from games, to shows, to novels, to comics, trying to keep up to date with everything can be quite difficult. The story here does follow a very simple path from start to finish which is great, but among it is a lot of detail that can be found, and audio logs are scattered everywhere to add to the story. My only real concern comes from what happened after 5, I could be wrong but I feel like I was missing parts of what happened, and that Infinite tried to explain some of it, but I was a little confused at points. It may be that some of the story after 5 was explained in Halo Wars 2 or in something else, but hard for me to say. I felt caught up by the end for the most part, just felt a little confusing at first.

    Graphics - Some might say its a little dated but I have absolutely no issues with the look of the game, I played on my PC with settings cranked to as high as possible and I thought it looked gorgeous all the time, I didn't feel the game was lacking anywhere. Being out in the open world can be breathtaking at times, especially with the day and night cycle doing it's thing. Maybe not the prettiest game to some, but I loved it.

    Gameplay - It feels very much like Halo, but more traditional Halo with some abilities thrown it that you can use throughout the campaign or multiplayer from a grapple hook to a deployable shield to sensor that reveals enemy locations, all of which could be upgraded as you play. You get a wide variety of weapons to play with, and not once did I ever feel I was completely returning to the weapons I was familiar with, in some situations I was using whatever I could get my hands on and trying to make the absolute best of it. 343 smashed this one out of the park, not one time did I feel bored with the shooting.

    Campaign - We are moving into an open world game here and for the better I think, it changed the formula a bit which is nice for Halo as it has been going for so long. This may not appeal to everyone but if you are familiar with open world games, expect to see similar traits found in those, such as respawning enemies when returning to areas, a variety of points of interest you can go to, capturing outposts, finding upgrades around the map, its all here and I get sucked into map completion in games like this, and Halo Infinite was no different. I played on Heroic for my first run and felt the game was quite challenging, you cannot just run into enemy locations and expect to come out with your life and for the most part I felt the AI was quite smart. Grunts were typically not the brightest as you'd expect but I found Brutes charging at me, Jackals slowly creeping up on me to box me in, Elites shooting from afar only until I would get close and then try to take me down with a sword, very good stuff here. Overall I felt the campaign was a very positive experience and completing it in around 20-23 hours was not a drag at all.

    Multiplayer - I have only played the Multiplayer prior to the full game release so I am not entirely sure if anything else was added but there was Quick Play, Big Team Battle and Ranked modes, all of which you could not not choose your specific mode to play like Team Slayer, Swat, Capture the Flag etc, not sure if this has since changed but I would've like that option to choose. I am not huge into multiplayer but I loved my time with it here. it feels completely different to how I felt with Halo 4 and 5, this one felt more like I remember from 3 and Reach. Maps have a good amount of variety and all weapons from the campaign were in here too. The progression system was lacking a bit, you have a levelling system, as you level you gain access to certain rewards but it mostly seems littered with xp boosts, challenge swaps, player banners etc while a few are armour pieces, I know that this will be improved over time but it does feel like this is lacking and that they want you to spend real money for the better stuff. I hope they change this over time. Also making it so you earn xp just from playing games and not just from doing challenges would be nice too. It has some growing to do but still good!

    Music - A very good chunk of classics and new here, you will not be disappointed!

    Final Rating - There is so much more I could say about this game but 5000 max character limit. I don't feel its my game of the year but I can assure you its close to the top of the list. 343 has given us a few good Halo games, but this one is definitely a huge improvement and feels familiar yet fresh. Play it!    … Expand

    I have been having fun since it came out. Campaign map is not anything new. Multiplayer is so good so far.

    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.
