    Theoretically there is a game there, that's why I gave it a 1, but it's mostly a store with a dumpster fire of a campaign. Remember playing any open world game and getting endlessly immersed in the details and lost in the story that brings you over the map again and again only to dind something new every visit?

Remember playing any open world game and getting endlessly immersed in the details and lost in the story that brings you over the map again and again only to dind something new every visit? Well 343 didn't think you really cared about that, you just wanted the game to be linear but in an open setting. The story sucks, it's very linear, and the world is void of any and every sort of details that you would expect from even an indy developed title. Expand

    Buggy from the get go. Had a graphics card that met the required specs but the software had trouble recognising it and the game crashed on start up.

    To my mind not a good look.

    Einfach Schrott für die Tonne,Grafik schaut wie bei einen Indygame aus den 2000er Jahren aus die Spielzeit um die 8 Stunden ist lächerlich .Als Free to Play ist es in Ordnung.

    Once again, Halo is absolute garbage. One of the most overrated games of 2021. Even Battlefield 2042 is a better shooter and that says a lot about this game.

    It's utterly bad. It feels, looks and plays like a last gen game.
    The story is pure stupidity and makes no sense at all. Horrible plot, voice acting, and Pacing is all over the place. The multiplayer is so dull and uninspired. Just another boring arena shooter. Nothing new to it. Maps are almost as bad as Battlefield 2042s maps. It's crazy how 343 has ruined the franchise.

    I have played it on my Series X and man the frames, stuttering and graphics sucks. Even though I played the game through Game Pass I feel robbed of my valuable time. Don't buy the game. You'll regret it immensely.

    Really You Think Halo Infinite is good and Next Gen Battlefield 2042 with all of its problems and bugs is literally better and more detailed than Halo Snoozefest okay.
    How Does It Feel Xbot Halo Fanboys to be apart of the losers club imagine thinking that the lazy millennial devs at 343 have hit that home run with Halo Infinite
    When quite clearly when you look that interest data straight

    When quite clearly when you look that interest data straight from google believe me its not great failure infinite a fitting title for the game.
    It's so incredibly sad how the original halo combat evolved 20 years ago with Bungie Software is more detailed than Failure Infinite with 343 industries
    PS3 Graphics Disappearing Pop in Grass Bad Lighting Ambient Occlusion And Bad Shadow Cascades Shadow Missing From Trees Bad Lighting Graphics In General Bad SSR Reflections
    Bad Physics Bad Water Graphics Halo 3 with Bungie looks more next gen than Failure Infinite with 343 10 hours campaign with cliff hanger bad ending boring multiplayer Stupid AI
    Guerilla Games Killzone shadowfall 8 years old game has light years ahead smarter AI Better Gameplay and Better Graphics
    Only 1 biome in a open World Halo game. The Game Freezes for 5 seconds 0 FPS because of series x split memory Sloppy engineering it cant hold 120fps and 343 are incompetent
    No playable elites No Free For All
    Cant Pick Game modes Multiplayer Cant Replay Individual story missions campaign
    Guns Sound bad bad Music No Indicator where to go
    Copy Pasted Corridor Game Design From Doom Falling true platforms and dying
    No dual welding
    No female spartans

    Missing gamemodes
    Its a live service game
    Trash vehicle physics
    Trash warthog sound
    No OG guns like the magnum, shotgun, plasma rifle, spiker, brute shot and spartan laser
    1 step forward 343 steps back. but you don't care because you're like oh my god Rogue it's free on a subscription service thats one of the reasons the game is flopping,
    Free doesn't necessarily mean worthwhile Duh But you don't demand better From Xbox & microsoft and this is why you recieve third rate trash products with no spirit no taste and a half broken unfinished mess with half of the content missing But You Don't care you never had and believe me you never will because your simp brains too busy going ahahahahaa

    In my opinion its a good game but I give 1 because the game is not complete, the motion captures of faces are no good and the graphics are low in most situations.
    This couldn't be Xbox Sign anymore
    Hope microsoft take more care about other IPs

    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. It's missing the majority of base game modes, including Infection and King of the Hill which are half of the backbone that supports the social side of the game. The other missing half is Forge mode, which let's the community pump outIt'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. It's missing the majority of base game modes, including Infection and King of the Hill which are half of the backbone that supports the social side of the 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.

    Unbalanced to the point of unfun. The melees are better than any gun in the game. 1 pistol shot to the toes and a melee and you are dead. There's lunge too. The pistol is also better than the primary. Much higher damage. Its not that it's a high skill weapon where if you hit your shots you win, but there is no headshot mechanic, so you aren't even rewarded for good aim.

There are so much worse compared to the primary and the god pistol.
    Apart from the rocket launcher, which is unfun to play against because any moron picks it up and presses click and you die.

    And overshield is also just just instant win card. It's not fun, man. Games are meant to be fun.

    one of the worst optimised games to date,it’s not properly utilizing most GPUs as of right now, if you check your power consumption and GPU temperatures, you’ll likely find it’s quite low for running the GPU at full load.Even people with powerful rigs are getting hiccups now and then, and once in awhile, a crash,it’s unplayable for most amd users

The performance is horrendous. Stutters and fps drops are everywhere. The loading times are huge. Crashes and similar problems are present everywhere. The progression is non existent, the gameplay is simple but boring for now days standards. The fact that developers decided to blame a lot of this problems on the users and even reached the point of closing their subreddit in order to not listen to the negativity of the obvious, objective backslash of the community proved that they are not qualified enough to develop a decent product, even less when we talk about an ongoing online game.

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

    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.
