The movement and guns are great, and the grappling hook is a blast. Best part, it's on GamePass so millions can try it without shelling or more $

    As far as performance, I'm running a newer i7 with a 2070, and I've had flawless performance and only 1 crash....makes me wonder if all these people claiming to have high end hardware and experiencing problems are actually Sony people salty they can't play the game.... That or these individuals do have the hardware they claim, but their computer is cluttered with.... let's say "other things"

    Since it's on GamePass, there is absolutely no reason not to give it a shot.    … Expand

    Most fun I have had in a Halo game since Reach. Great gameplay, sandbox, and the grapplehook is awesome. The campaign was good but would have liked to have seen more biomes like desert or jungle. Multiplayer is a blast but could use more content. Overall great game. As for PC performance, I have had almost no issues whatsoever.

    Halo Infinite é um jogo fantástico, no meu XBOX Series X ele tá lindo, jogabilidade fluída e gráficos excelentes mas não surpreendentes.

O ponto não tão agradável para mim, foi a questão de violência, queria que fosse mais sangrento, mas isso é apenas um estilo,    Halo Infinite é um jogo fantástico, no meu XBOX Series X ele tá lindo, jogabilidade fluída e gráficos excelentes mas não surpreendentes.

    A física tá incrível, eu uso arpão e faço loucuras, os carros gostaria que fossem mais pesados, no em toda franquia Halo eles sempre uma física leve.

    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

    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.

    Excelente juego 20/10 gran historia y jugabilidad, el desarrollo de la trama trata de solucionar el error de halo 5 guardianes, sin necesidad de recurrir a cambios forzados. La aplicación de diferentes habilidades como el gancho, la dificultad legendaria y la aplicación de jefes enemigos estilo "dark souls" hacen del juego una experiencia exquisita y divertida. Lo recomiendo pasar en legendario.

Comenzando con la historia del modo Campaña a decir verdad se sigue quedando atrás al lado de Juegos como el Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3 y Halo Reach (de los cuales las historias son hermosas) realmente les sigue costando trabajo adaptarse a lo que creo Bungie, en esta nueva entrega sentí que la historia estuvo como de relleno ya que el único suceso realmente importante y que siento que realmente afecta en la historia es que Cortana ya no esta, solo muestran como el Jefe Maestra esta en nuevo anillo, mostrándonos que cada anillo es diferente etc. los villanos tampoco fueron muy destacables, el mas interesante fue el Alíen Llamado "Heraldo" ya que es una especie nueva y que por lo visto eran rivales de los "Fourroners" y por su parte los desterrados en realidad solo era un grupo rebelde proveniente del Covenant.
    Ahora Hablando del multijugador creo que es lo que mas me a gustado ya que la jugabilidad es divertida y el juego en si tiene muy buena calidad ya que salió con muchos modos de juego (incluyendo sorpresivamente Ranked a pesar de estar en beta), es competitivo, frenético, con momentos estratégicos en donde no todo es matar, etc. tal vez la única queja que tengo es que a veces el como los enemigos te matan es absurdo ya que te llegan a matar muy fácil, llegando a parecer que tienen algún aimbot o hack.... Ojala se sigan actualizando como lo están haciendo o mejor.    … Expand

    I know why this is a big issue for some but for me I don't mind it to much as I like playing the objective game modes.

I went from playing a mission after I explored to going from mission to mission, unable to wait for the next story beat. The combination of great gameplay, and intriguing story had me enjoy every second of this game I have played. Even after I finished the campaign missions, I played for hours and hours on end. I couldn't have asked for a better Halo game. I just want to say thank you, 343, for giving us a campaign that has me excited for whatever you have planned next.… Expand

The multiplayer is phenomenal with great gunplay and use of equipment, the maps are good and the different types of weapons makes the sandbox stand pretty strong. The main issue with the multiplayer as the time of me writing this review is the lack of content and microtransactions.

Incluso por primera vez que te dejen a libertad moverte por cierta zona de Zeta Halo sin importar que completes objetivos secundarios mientras tienes las misiones principales de por medio es sublime, no se siente como un Far Cry donde a veces estabas obligado a completar ciertas misiones secundarias para seguir con la trama principal, incluso poder seguir jugando tras completar la historia para ver las hermosas vistas, conseguir registros de voz, núcleos Spartan o dar por finalizado todo lo pendiente, me parece un nuevo método ingenioso y muy bien elaborado para disfrutar el juego por más horas fuera del Multijugador.

    A nivel muy personal y nostálgico puedo decir que es hermoso no tiene comparación con entregas posteriores de 343, lo disfrutas, te diviertes, tienes toda una gama de métodos para atacar enemigos desde patrullas, misiones secundarias y las partes de las misiones principales, te la pasas genial jugando y se siente como para volver a jugarlo desde 0 pero con mayor dificultad con o sin cráneos.

    A nivel técnico me sorprendió bastante y mucho, no lo digo porque pueda estar roto o desbalanceado con algunas armas o tenga errores ya que en mi caso sólo una vez dejo de funcionar y se cerro, pero tan sólo en Steam en descarga tenga una valoración de 16 GB y descomprimido 30 GB sin el multijugador, me llamo la atención con creces, ya que son 20 o más de esas 20 horas de juego incluyendo todo por explorar, el nivel de detalle que maneja es como para quedarse a observar los paisajes de Zeta Halo y escuchar su ambientación, el ver como pasan las 24 horas desde el anochecer hasta el amanecer es increíble, por ello siento que lograron su cometido de superar mis expectativas con un basto mapa con físicas, ambientación y belleza en tan solo 16-30 Gb.

I would also like to point out that YES, the multiplayer is content dry and the progression is easily the worst to have ever existed in the history of video games, and some of the levels have the classic three path layout such as "Live Fire" or "Streets". but some of the maps are very unique and play really well, like "Behemoth" or "Fragmentation" (which in my opinion is on track to being an S tier BTB map in the entire Halo Franchise). On top of that the gunplay really sticks out and you can almost always rack up a kill with just about anything (except maybe the disruptor, rabager, and plasma pistol, more on that in a minute). The multiplayer is really what stops Infinite from having a solid 10 in my opinion because the campaign almost entirely makes up for it. Ok let's get started:

    I cannot TELL YOU how much I love this game; It's easily my favorite in the entire Halo series. The gameplay is fun and dynamic, the enemies are smart and cunning, the soundtrack is just god tier, and the story easily outplays Halo 2's in my opinion. Yes, I said it.
    Ok first thing: gameplay
    Halo Infinite's gameplay rivals Combat Evolved's. An OVERWHELMING majority of the weapons in this game are viable and fun to shoot. The only exceptions I can think of are the disruptor, ravager (which way underpowered and needs a buff), the plasma pistol, and the spike grenade which really just serves the purpose of getting enemies to leave their cover for you to shoot. Everything else can be very nicely used to quickly and efficiently kill your enemies. Each enemy has its own purpose and interacts nicely with other classes. For example:
    A shootout with 2 grunts, an elite, and a brute is gonna play SO MUCH DIFFERENTLY with 2 hunter, a jackal and a skimmer. All enemies have their own tactics and plans of attack and they can actually ADAPT depending on the situation. You will almost NEVER find an enemy just standing out in the open not moving and shooting you like a turret, unlike in CoD where all the enemies are just brain dead.
    The level design is just so awesome, I've found so many neat little areas that could be used as a multiplayer map or that I would just LOVE to make something out of in Forge when that releases.
    The soundtrack is also *really good* and adapts to what's going on. For example, if I'm out exploring or something, the music starts playing this adventurous theme kinda like "Perilous Journey" or "A walk in the woods" from CE (note that I said "kind of" not "exactly", I've yet to encounter these two music pieces in the game but I tend to hear stuff that remind of those music pieces). But then when I encounter a patrol or start a raid on an FOB, the music turns fast-paced and upbeat, like the main Halo theme.
    I won't talk about talk about story because there are already like a zillion posts here that say the same thing: "its awesome, compelling and relatable characters, very attaching and immersive" (which is all true in my opinion).
    Now I just want to say 3 things that bother me about the campaign, and it's very minor and can quickly be fixed by 343, I think. Idk Im not a game dev i have no clue how easy/hard it is to implement these:

    1. level design isn't great in the linear levels. It's fun but it does feel to some degree like sections are copied and pasted much like assault on the control room from CE.

    2. There is a lack of variety in the environments. The only ones there are pacific north west, fourunner and banished. While they all look awesome, it would have been better to have at least some biome variety like snow, desert, swamp etc.

    3rd You never really get into a massive large scale vehicular battle like you did in halo 3 and I do miss that.

    Ok thanks for coming to my Ted Talk, bye have fun playing Infinite!    … Expand

Unfortunately, many of the things that 343 is doing with Halo Infinite is becoming commonplace for most major shooter games out there, and it makes me feel like I don't want to play Halo Infinite as much as I would've wanted to.… Expand

    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'...

Halo Infinite has threadbare content, no good maps, horrible desync, broken custom games and theatre mode, a horrible ranking and progression system and the worst microtransactions in the entire gaming industry. Do you enjoy the color blue? Do you enjoy paying for that same color four times or more? Do you enjoy spending over a thousand dollars to unlock seasonal content that you cannot mix and match? 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

    Good gameplay, good mechanics, good history, characters could be better. Cortana could be better too

    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

    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

    If you look at the game objectively it is pretty disappointing compared to older titles. The open world does not do much for the gameplay and is pretty bland. There are no major vistas or landmarks to explore and we would have rather seen the old linear missions. The missions itself reuse assets constantly and after the twentieth repeating metallic alien corridor it becomes a slog. Overall a boring experience, I am not sure I could have finished it playing solo.    … Expand

    Boring games and its awful controllers when you driving and shooting with the tanks. You turn the tank when you turn the turret at the same time. No good story and I cant see why people see in the Halo games. The first Halo game was good but the sequels are really bad games.

    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. Multiplayer is a joke.

    I played the campaign mode, and felt it was really just mediocre...it is playable, but I couldn't find something that I could pick out and say it did better than other major FPS games in the market. Additionally I really don't understand why mater chief never thought about brining on extra ammo when he went out for missions...

    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.
