    While gameplay feels solid this game is plagued by major issues that show not only was the game released purely to get Christmas sales, but that it was developed purly to suck the wallets of diehard halo fans dry.

    Crashes, desync, and lack of playlist selections plague the multiplayer. Not only that but features fans have come to love in every halo game since 3, colour customization and armor unlocks are relegated to the in game store at absurdly high prices. Ten dollars for a shade of red only isable on select armour. And 20$ for a armor set. Its ridiculous. Forge and co op campaign are not in the game and wont be for at least 6 months or more, showing they really rushed just to get it out this month for the holidays. Its a disgrace.

    This game is one big steaming pile of garbage. The greedy developers are giving us an incomplete game for $60. The co-op is coming out next year. The developers rushed this game out because they are desperate for that Christmas money. The campaign is so boring and repetitive. The level design is lazy and terrible. It feels like I am playing offline multiplayer with bots.

    The graphics are outdated. This is suppose to be a next-gen AAA game, yet I've seen PS4 games with better graphics than this poor excuse of a next-gen game. That is embarrassing, especially when you consider that the Xbox Series X is supposedly the most powerful console. The physics are beyond horrible. The gun sounds are a joke. The AI is incredibly stupid. The animations look like trash. The story is poorly written. The explosions are laughable.

    Admittedly, the multiplayer is actually fun. But the multiplayer is free-to-play, meaning that the fun I had with the online multiplayer had nothing to do with my $60 purchase. So what do I benefit paying $60 for this joke of game? All I got was a lousy weapon to use in multiplayer and a worthless 10 hour solo campaign. I don't recommend this game at all. Just play the multiplayer for free.

    Más de lo mismo respecto a halo, jn shooter que no aporta nada nuevo, la dificultad parece una broma con los anteriores, y la duración de la campaña ni se diga poco más de 6 hrs, y usar de excusa la dificultad para alargar la duración no le quita lo poco que dura porque al final si dominas la dificultad igual puedes pasarlo en 6 hrs.
    Desaprovechan el lore que tiene el juego y siguen dando

    Desaprovechan el lore que tiene el juego y siguen dando más de lo mismo, la única mecánica nueva es el gancho y pequeñas mecánicas rpg. Visualmente es muy bonito el juego pero se siente como si fuera jn halo 4, decepcionante.

    Halo infinite's broken and dysfunctional game system just proves how much Xbox needed to "buy" Bethesda's catalog to stay afloat this generation. Don't waste your time playing it...What they can't sell...well...they give away on Gamepass.

    Not the halo experience I was expecting. The multilayer was pretty decent but got boring fast.
    The campaign had really bland level design and the outdoor open world area looked good but outdated and although the mechanics kinda save it from being terrible, it just feels like a poorly executed version of destiny.

    Basura absoluta. El juego ya está muerto, nadie lo juega. Gráficamente parece de ps3. Vergüenza lo que hace Xbox con su saga estrella.

    I told you that this game was marred with horrible decision-making, and metacritic censored my review FOUR times.

    This is the game you deserve... I condemn you to play this game for the rest of your lives.

    The worst Halo live service ever...well done.

    Insanely outdated, unprincipled, boring, gray game. The graphics look like something from the 2000s. The plot is just ridiculous. I can't stand even 5 hours.

    The battle pass business model where I have to pay money and not get the skin I want but rather have to spend a thousand hours in game to unlock it AFTER paying money for it is most dystopian bullcrap I have ever heard of.

I don't care if it's free to play. If I put money down I should get a good or service in return no strings attached. Not after I go into indentured servitude inflating the player base will I get the item I paid for. The developer has figured out a way to keep a player base up for share holder appeasement without putting more effort in making the game fun and it shows a hundred percent. There is nothing new to this Halo. In fact it feels very bare bones. It doesn't even feel like a halo game anymore. It plays like a copy and paste job of call of duty. From the maps and modes down to the battle pass system this game is just a boring generic cash grab now. It's free for a reason. Because the game has no value whatsoever. Expand

    The Good: The game feels like Halo. Now its running the same but modified engine from all the previous Halo titles so the physics should be the same but Infinite does this better than Halo 4 and 5. Story is short and sweet but there is that open world aspect now that really ties everything together. The AI seem very Halo CE like and that is a very good thing.

Story is short and sweet but there is that open world aspect now that really ties everything together. The AI seem very Halo CE like and that is a very good thing.

    The Bad: Multiplayer is a massive mess. You know it, I know it, 343 knows it, YouTube creators know it, and professional gamers know it. 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.

    343i did Halo fans dirty and failed to follow Bungie's footsteps. 343i is a false reclaimer to the Mantle of Responsibility.

    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]
