    I haven't put a review out on here for some time, but there are some things so maddening about Halo Infinite, i felt compelled to write this review.. and before anyone accuses me of being a Sony Fanboy, i game primarily on Xbox.

    As a massive Halo fan ever since the original game on the original Xbox, i was looking forward to this game early on, despite not knowing much about it, and with the promise from 343 that they wouldn't make the mistake of omitting Split screen again after that mistake and backlash in Halo 5, i was looking forward to the release of Infinite, but things happening with this game have all but ruined it for me, hence the very low score.

    First, there was the lacklustre graphics in the gameplay reveal, making 343 and Xbox delay the game another year to polish it and keep working on it, which i was all for, and granted, it does look a lot better than then.

    The two key things that ruined this game for me however, was revealed before release, and that was that the game was going no release with no only split screen missing, despite their statement that they had learned from their mistakes in this area, but it also would not have Co-Op at all on release out of the box?! This in itself is unforgivable for Halo, especially after a year long delay, and should never have rushed out and released without such fundamental features. This alone had pretty much ruined the excitment i had for this game, and then i was surprised when it got even worse, when i found out just before the game released, when i discovered that the physical version of the game isn't at all what it should be, and that is to say it seems to have pretty much nothing on the disk itself, no PvP or even campaign is installable from the disk?! It has to be installed online and can't be installed from the disk, meaning you do not have a standalone game from the disk itself, and you cannot install the game unless you are online and connected to Xbox live, even if you have the disk!.. To those that download their games, this won't mean anything, but to those who value physical ownership og a game, and the ability to install it without having to rely on online or a service, and want to be able to install it years down the line without internet and service reliance, this is a very big deal indeed, and this is one of the key, if not main reasons people buy their games on physical media.. This will be the first Halo in the entire series that you cannot own physically, and this is a worrying trend if Xbox is willing to treat and release it's flagship series in such a way..

    This decision by Xbox/343, has pretty much made buying the game on disk pretty pointless and redundant, with the disk merely being an online activation key, this is not what people buy physical for, and a lot of people are going to be disappointed and angry, and i am one of of them, because i have wasted my money buying a disk that doesn't even have the game on it?! Sewriously, i may as well have played it on Gamepass and saved my money, and if i knew then what i know now, i would have not bought it, and frankly i feel completely cheated and want a refund for my disk with essentially nothing on it, most of it had to be installed from online when the game released anyway, and wouldn't work without it, don't fall into the trap i did and buy it on disk, because owning it on disk is pointless, for the reasons i explained.

    What makes this even more saddening, is that the game actually feels and plays well, but the other things have just ruined the whole thing for me, and yes, while the game does play well, the enviroment in the game is very one tone, or i should say two tone, because there is only two things you will see in this game, the same old grass, rocks, hills and sporadic sprinkling of trees and structures, or the similar looking indoor bits, there is no enviromental diversity throughout the whole game, which gets old quite fast, which wouldn't be so bad if the campaign was particularly interesting,. but it just isn't, it's possibly as weak or even weaker than Halo 5's, and that's saying something...

    I always expected this game to play well, it's Halo, in fact the combat feels better than any other game in the series (the driving feels a little off for some reason though), but Halo is about far more than that, it's about it's universe, story, lore and game features such as Co-Op and split-screen, and and its lite on the former and completely absent of the split screen and Co-Op. Yes, they say they are putting Split screen and Co-Op in in half a year or mores, time, but we only have their word on that, and even then, people will have played the game by then, many people wanted to share their first play through with others in Co-Op, and 343 have denied their players this experience. In fact, i am so disappointed and angry with how 343 have shipped this game, i think it's about time Xbox gave Halo to a new develop

    I enjoyed the singleplayer, it's superb and probably the best Halo singleplayer. The reason for the low score is forced crossplay in multiplayer. For that reason alone multiplayer is not fun when it's not fair.
    Will revisit Halo when coop arrives.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When Halo: Infinite was released, players had been waiting years to find out what happened to Master Chief, Cortana, The Arbiter, Earth, and the Guardians. Even the Spirit of Fire and the new Halo ring. Anticipation was heavy, and with how Halo 5 was relieved, a lot of people were nervous about 343i and their handling of the series. So the question remains, did Halo: Infinite live up to the expectations? Unfortunately, no, it didn't. While Halo: Infinite is a good game. Fun to play, a good enough online community and people willing to play, the story of Halo has taken a drastic left turn. When we left off, Cortana was in the process of taking over the Galaxy with the help of Promethian Guardians that could police an entire system alone. When we catch back up to events, Cortana has been deleted, Atriox has supposibly been killed, the Infinity has been destroyed, and the UNSC is all but no more. Clearly a lot has happened between games. The problem is, we only see small snippets and none of it was even close to what was expected. Now things being unexpected isn't always a bad thing, but in this case, it was not. Chief had been floating in space for months only to be picked up by a Pelican pilot who is new to the series. We learn that Chiefs mission was to upload another AI into a Halo ring to trap and delete Cortana. Before that could happen, however, The Banished attack and Atriox handedly beats Chief in a fight and throws him into space. He then manages to capture Cortana himself, for the crime of destroying his homeworld due to his refusal to play nice with her new doctrine. After which, Cortana realized the error of her ways and is then, subsequently deleted by Atriox. Chiefs goal in the game is to learn about what happened in his little space nap and reestablish the UNSC by rescuing troops and acquiring assets on Zeta Halo. While it's fun to play and new mechanics have been added, like the zip line, asset deliveries, and FoB capturing, it's just a mess. What happened here? Halo has always been about more. Not just Master Chief, but the war in general. Humanities dwindling militaristic powers against the Covinant and the secrecy of Earth. Even Halo 5 gave us a whole other team with an outsiders perspective to the events unfolding, even if that decision didnt sit well with a lot of players. Infinite feels so small in comparison. Cramped even. We never learn what became of Earth or if any other UNSC assets survived. Surely if Cortana has had her strangle hold on Earth released, the UNSC should be back to almost full power, minus the Infinity. What about thr Elites and Sanghelios? What is going on? We learn so much, but at the same time, so little in Infinite, it's maddening. For the time being, we're stuck on Zeta Halo, farting around with no clear goals or objective other than "mess with The Banished". There's just nothing here. We learn a few clues here and there from data caches around the game but most of it involves what has happened on Zeta Halo and only what has transpired netween the forces on the ring. What is the state of the Galaxy? What is going on with Earth? The Arbiter? While we didn't get a lot in other games, we still got something. The Arbiter is fighting to retake his homeworld. Earth is currently conflict free after the events in New Pheonix, different factions are running around the Galaxy. We get nothing in Infinite. Despite what many people think, the Halo series isn't just "The Master Chief Show". It's always been about the galaxy as a whole. Halo establishes that humanity is at war with The Covinant and Halos are doomsday weapons. Halo 2 covers the beginning of the Great Schism within the Covinant and Earth battling to save itself from Covinant fleets. We learn of other Halo rings and stop them from killing everyone. Halo 3 tells us that the war is going poorly for humanity. We learn about the Arc and stopping Truth from sterilizing the Galaxy. Stopping the flood by firing the replacement for Alpha Halo. Halo 4 is about Cortanas failing mental state and a new threat to humanity in the form of The Diadact. Halo 5 is about Chief confronting a megalomanic Cortana attempting to enslave the Galaxy and chasing Chief down as he goes AWOL. Halo Infinite is about... learning specifically what happened on Zeta Halo far after the events have taken place. Nothing beyond, nothing outside of a single Halo ring. They also shove in a new species because there is literally nothing else here. We get a conclusion to Cortana. The rest is just vague happenings because it seems like it's the best thing to do. No plan, no structure, no overarching theme beyond "wtf happened"? I'm not a Halo Online player so I won't speculate on how the online portion of the game is, but the story is disjointed, incomplete, and sorely lacking. 343i swung for the fences and promised a lot, only to deliver a ground ball on the 1st base foul line.

    UPDATE: Even a half year in we still have a lot of core features missing (e.g., coop, various costums and game-modes, forge, social features etc.) and only empty promises. 343 is unfit to handle the mantle. And lying is the worst offence they have done so far, lying about content, lying about deadlines, lying about communications. That's how you bury a legend

Interiores de juguete y todos iguales, construcciones de brocha gorda a base de cubos amontonados con cansinas oleadas de los mismos bichos todo el rato, lineales como una tabla y aburridos hasta decir basta, donde no haces más que activar switches y artefactos.

    A game without soul. Full of mechanics that are not completed and bad physics. The saga has come to an end. Not because the potential of it (Halo is awesome). It's more because Halo Infinite was made with only one intention: Create a Halo-vessel to turn the franchise into a game as service.

Until I see some of these features, especially split screen, come into the game, I will not be purchasing the campaign and have uninstalled the multiplayer.

    God forsake the gun play is fine and the worthless guns of the multiplayer are buffed as **** ( ravager, plasma rifle ). But the biggest mvp is the grappling hook. If it wasn’t for it, the game would be utter trash and a 0/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Halo Infinites world is breathtaking and the gameplay is loads of fun. The story…..yikes. Someone made a comment that the story “could have been an e-mail” and that is the truth.

    The story can be summed up in one sentence “Master Chief experiences periodic “schizophrenic” episodes from “data” and then kills bad guy”. Most of the campaign is collecting power cores as someone whispers in your ear and Echo-216 wets himself every 5 minutes.

    It also portrays Master Chief as if he’s in some love-tangled relationship with Cortona. Like an ex-girlfriend that you can’t get over and constantly think about. Echo-216 is an empty character that brings nearly nothing to the story. I understand that his character is to provide comedic relief and humanize Master Chief, but it felt unnecessary. The Weapon “…” “……..” (if you play the campaign you’ll understand this comment).

    Overall, the story felt like it had no purpose or soul. It was average at best for a flagship game that took 6 years to develop. I’m glad I didn’t spend $60 for what could have been “an e-mail”.

The netcode is a mess with horrible desync issues, Rank is effected by social and bot matches, and theater and custom games are broken. Broken broken broken. This game is a mess.

    The Ugly: As a 'Live Service' game we have no content and absolutely no communication from 343 Industries. This game is three months in with no new maps, weapons or new game modes (bye attrition....). This is unacceptable as far as Live Service goes. Look at all these other live service games that pump out new content constantly.

    Если 343I собирались сделать хорошую песочницу, то они в этом явно не преуспели. Открытый мир пуст, жизнь кипит на точках интереса, причем если в таких играх как Far Cry аванпост или базу можно зачистить по тихому, а лучше вообще без единого выстрела, то в Infinite ты влетаешь туда и стреляешь направо налево, то есть не представлено никакой вариативности. От такого сильно устаешь и возникает все меньше желания запускать ее снова. Я думал Halo 5 плоха, но это отличный и красивый коридорный шутер на фоне Infinite. 6 лет разработки коту под хвост.

    Complete and utter garbage! No content and the little that is there barely works as intended. Horrible servers and rubber banding issues, hitreg issues, damage is all over the place. Bugs left and right and if you play with a controller you basically have an aimbot at your disposal. Complete joke!

    I am talking as a Halo veteran, which also completed Halo 1 on Xbox 1 on legendary in solo mode.
    Cheap gunplay. Cheap mission design. You are forced to kill all enemies in an area in order to press a button for progression. There was a back tracking fetch task just to have time to listen to a boring audiolog. Bad checkpoints. Bullet sponge boss has health bars as if the game was a loot

    Halo 1 on Xbox 1 had more fluid respawn behavior, here you have a loading screen in between. You even have a loading screen between the underground to the open world area. Remember Halo 1 on Xbox 1? The loading times there were smooth and only a fraction of a second. Dual-weaponing is missing here. Aim assist is too invasive.
    Cheap animations on gameplay. Guys try this, look down to see your boots, and turn left and right and look at the lowerbody being detached from the upper body. Cheap movement animation, as if you would glide. Running does not make you much faster and adds weird lines for a pseudo speed feeling, which also often point to the wrong direction. Flying ships seem to follow invisible rails instead of levitating.
    Cortana replacement is trying to be funny and trying to show some sort of feeling, which does not fit into her role. I've just reached the open world surface an forced me through some mobs, and when I think of having to go through a Ubisoft kind of gameplay, and after I saw the game quality already, I can only say no thanks, I dont have the time for this outdated and unpolished gameplay.
    Cutscenes were good until now, but the gameplay is just a massive downgrade even compared to Halo 1. Halo triology from Bungie remains the best.

    Halo feels just too outdated if you aren't nostalgic for it.

    Pros:
    - Innovation
    - People seem to like the multiplayer
    - The devs definitely tried

    Cons:
    - Outdated weapon handling (the game still just zooms just a bit instead of giving you iron-sights with most guns)
    - Most levels feel the same due to being inside bunkers & CO.
    - Just not fun

The shotgun is pointless, The bulldog now takes 3 shots to kill most enemies and it'S ammo is severely limited. The number of cheap shots from the enemies is insane. I beat halo 3 on the highest difficulty and I had less problems doing that. At least I was able to drive the freaking vehicles from a to be without have to be frickin Magellan. The Scorpion tank can't drive down the road ways because of crap design. The mongoose steers like is covered in anal lube and bacon grease. So you have a bunch of crap weapons and vehicles on a crap map filled with cheap enemies and a storyline that has zero interest to me and is so poorly connected to the previous game that it is absolutely pointless. Here is the games biggest sin. You can't adjust difficulty at all and after you start the campaign. You finding this too hard? Screw You! Start Over! This a a vomit stain on the franchise. Go play the Master Chief collection and 4 instead. ODST was far better then this, Halo Wars was better than this. This is Call of duty with aliens. this might as well be made by modern day Bungie it has the same quality and the same number of microtransactions. If you want to play it. Do so on game pass.

    This game has so much potential, so many good ingredients, however it is put together so horribly. Feels like the frontline hardworking developers tried their best but the upper management screwed it all up with bad priorities.

    The core gameplay is solid which makes it fun for 3 weeks before it goes stale. But the game is shallow. There's no progression, no rewards or career ranks, the weekly challenges are not fun, seems like challenges are purposely made bad so they can sell their "challenge swaps" (one of the lamest creations in video game history), there's limited ability to build a spartan, the already limited armor pieces are split amongst separate cores, there's limited flexibility in choosing what game modes to play; all wrapped up with daily and exhausting reminders to "swing by the shop" and by some overpriced armor piece or coloring that's only good for 1 particular "Amor core."

    Ultimately, there is nothing to play for. The catastrophic failure to prioritize a fulfilling progression system has turned Halo, a once thriving community, into a desolate wasteland. If priorities were shifted there would be more of a population playing this game, thus leading to more store activity. However, the priorities were backwards. Issued a shallow game and now the fans/remaining gamers are being pounded by relentless/exhausting micro transactions. The F2P model was a major step backwards for this franchise.

Открытый мир просто пустой. Кроме захвата аванпостов, в нем нечего делать. В нем абсолютно ничего не происходит. Один биом, много одинаковых камней, скал и ёлок. Физика в игре откровенно слабая. Попробуйте на вепре сломать даже маленькое деревце, неа, машина вообще ничего не ломает. Тоже самое с танком. Зачем было делать открытый мир, непонятно. Ну и забудьте про интересные побочные квесты.

    Just unimaginative and boring. Looks and plays like a twenty year old reject.

    You know I am surprised that this game has been so highly rated so far. For me it just falls flat. Don't get me wrong Infinite has some great ideas such as the boss fights and the open world, but the game as a whole does not stand up to the past games. Let me explain. And yes there might be mild spoilers, but I will try to keep them to a minimum.

    You know I am surprised that this game has been so highly rated so far. For me it just falls flat. Don't get me wrong Infinite has some great ideas such as the boss fights and the open world, but the game as a whole does not stand up to the past games. Let me explain. And yes there might be mild spoilers, but I will try to keep them to a minimum.

    First off the open world is very repetitive. I'm not talking about the environment or the graphics, but the missions you can complete in the open world. First of there are 3 basic missions you can do: saving squads, Boss battles, and capturing FOBs. There are about 47 of these missions give or take. I might have missed a few, but the thing is at the end of the day all these missions are the same. Kill all the enemies in the area. Well that's ok and its fun to wipe out enemies. There are a few variations in the boss battles and some have different kinds of enemies, but they really are just the same. Doing the missions over, and over, and over, and over, and over again gets boring and a little grindy. Some games try to over come the grindiness by making the boss battles harder. Which although it might be the same mission you still get satisfaction, because at least it was hard. Well in this game these missions get easier. The primary reason for this is because as you progress these side missions you get different vehicles and weapons. So you get to a point were you can spawn a tank, wasp, sniper rifle, or a rocket launcher whenever you want. As you can imagine this makes the game pretty easy.

    Secondly there are about 7-8 what I would call mid tier missions. These are missions where instead of clearing out a whole base of enemies you destroy fuel silos or ammo machines. However these too are also fairly similar to each other and none are particularly difficult, and again get easier because of the whole weapons and vehicle aspect.

    Lastly, I believe there are about 13 Main Missions. These are by far the best part of the game, or at least they are what I enjoyed the most. However, they took me the least amount of time to finish. I completed the entire game in about 24hrs of casual game play. This is for all the missions not just the main mission. I was not trying to go anywhere fast, and most of my time was spent completing all the side missions. I was kinda surprised that the game was fished so quickly, and in the end I was left wanting more, because I felt like the story was not even that developed yet. Also, without giving too much away they really rely on emotions of players who have played halo in the past. What I mean is I believe the campaign will be much less enjoyable for people who have never played Halo as they will not be as emotionally invested. I definitely expected more from the campaign of this game.

    In the end I personally believe that this is the worst Halo game of all time. The open world is nice and graphics are good, but the missions are repetitive. The whole game takes about 24hrs to complete everything if you are taking your time and enjoying the sights. For an open world Halo game it defiantly falls flat. There are many other mission possibilities, but they chose to be lazy. I hope that this is not the trend for Halo. Although I know this will fall on deaf ears, and I hope you will disagree because then at least you had fun right?

    Pretty bland doesn’t feel authentic at all,
    Feels like a copy and paste from the original
    Halos. It feels like they didn’t put effort into developing the game

    This review is based solely on the multiplayer game aspects... Single player is fine. But the focus and issues are coming from the online portion of the game.

    Let's start positive and begin with the positive. The skeleton of the game (the gameplay) is phenomenal. Some of the best. The controls are smooth and the mechanics work for this game.

    Now for the negatives. Which is a much longer list unfortunately...

    This game is money hungry. mid 2010s EA money hungry. They were given an extra year to fix a lot of issues, and released even less content than was planned. They cut the battle pass into nothing and all of the "good" stuff if locked behind paying. Yes, the game is free to play, and no, it doesn't change the game at all to have those things... Except for the fact that it does. Halo has, for a pretty long while now, leaned heavily into customization to make your Spartan the most unique to you that it can be. And 343i is removing that ability behind weird decisions like Armor Coatings, Armor Cores, TERRIBLE microtransaction prices, and a very limited supply of options in general. This game is supposed to last for ten years? Maybe in ten years they will have the content of the previous Halo releases...

    Next on the list: The online play is iffy at best. How on earth do you have such an issue with Desync and lag? Big Team Battle was broken for two months and still is having issues. The updates are always "we are trying to fix this" but there is nothing good about the online experience. Forced crossplay upsets both PC and console gamers, ping issues galore, and the aforementioned desync regularly ruins the online experience. Not to even get into the terrible ranking system that they now have to reset because they even recognized it was so terrible.

    Finally, the lack of a plan for this game and the lack of information for the future of this game (a roadmap) is completely missing. There is no reason to play right now other than fomo for the typically awful ultimate challenge... which is a whole other issue as the challenge system is garbage as well.

    This game is not currently in a state that is worth playing if you are on the fence. The gameplay is fine, but the game itself is barely there. The bones are great, but 343i needs to build it back up from the beginning and basically start over for the game to be what the fans actually wanted, and what this game needs to be successful for a decade. It is already under a 10th of the normal players, and all of my friends have given up on it... and I am not far behind them if there isn't some huge change soon. No forge, no being able to play missions back, no lobbies, lack of map selection, weapons pools is lackluster, armors suck compared to previous titles, mtx prices are absurd... There is a LOT wrong right now and no promise to fix them outside of more delays and empty "we're looking into it" posts on Twitter.

    343i... Please don't let this game die. It deserves so much better.

    Vindo de uma empresa tão grande quanto a Microsoft esse jogo tem uma definição: medíocre. Não tem nada de especial, diferencial dos demais Halo's é o hook na jogabilidade, não tem nada de interessante. É somente mais um pew pew, Destiny 2 consegue ser muito melhor

    Devoid of content, lackluster campaign, and multiplayer plagued with issues. Very little actual content; a very small weapons sandbox, only around 7 vehicles, 10 maps, and what is arguably the worst customization ever seen in a Halo game, worse than Halo 5's. The gameplay is genuinely solid, and that is all I can praise about this game.

    Disbanding lobbies, crazy pay services just too change color which was free in every other halo game before hand. Story was out right boring, dull. Honestly done with xbox, they rather focus on their ESG score then make a good game. I'm just going to sell my console's and buy a pc, tired of being ripped off just too play online when everyone on pc gets too play free with console users.

    This game gets way too high score on Xbox. Just compare to PC reviews on Metacritic. 6.9/10 vs 8.4/10.
    Not sure why but my guess is that Xbox players are probably younger and more casual players.
    Personally, I left a long review on SensCritique (in french) and I think this games is too shallow.
    Among other things, the story and the environments are way too limited.

    If the open-world concept had been better utilized and if the writers had added more interesting characters to the story, Infinite could have easily been one of the best Halo games ever. The shootouts are highly entertaining and the open world brings new tactical possibilities. The multiplayer is just as good, being slightly faster than before. [Issue#317]

    Halo is back to its best with Halo Infinite, tight controls, and seriously thirst-quenching gunplay that feels so intuitively satisfying. Traversal has been improved hugely by the addition of the grappleshot, allowing Master Chief to zip around at speed, as well as adding a unique element for multiplayer matches. A particular dampener has to be directed at the online multiplayer, which is riddled with cheaters, but, if they were to be removed then the multiplayer offers a solid free-to-play experience that is fast and frantic. Halo Infinite, alongside a number of other Xbox first-party titles is a great addition to Xbox Game Pass, and it is certainly a marquee game that warrants a subscription to the service.

    There’s not much to do in the open world, but thankfully, it doesn’t play a big role either. Infinite mostly sticks to what makes Halo great: first-person action. Smart level design, great mobility mechanics like grappling hook, and good AI make for some really memorable moments. [Issue#258, p.42]
