    How exactly can we review a game separated in 2, the single player and the multi player.
    The single player is solid enough but nobody can say that the multi player worked fine at launch and it is dry for a very long time.
    The micro transactions are an absolute rip off set to exploit and abuse the hardcore Xbox fan base.

    Incredible step up in terms of art direction and mechanics. The story itself was pretty lacking and the ending was one big let down knowing that we wouldn’t be getting another halo for quite some time.

    I checked out the campaign and I'm disappointed, I knew the focus was on multiplayer but I didn't realize it was so extreme. The gameplay is good, but a game needs something more in my opinion.

    One the most bland and repetitive games I've played in recent memory.

    - Presentation is average - some parts look ok (cutscenes, etc.) but the environments are really boring and lack detail. Open world sections look like early Xbox One and the facial animation on characters is laughably bad (new AI „Weapon” especially). Frankly Halo 4 and 5 looked better in a lot of areas. - Story    One the most bland and repetitive games I've played in recent memory.

    - Story simply sucks. The writing is juvenile and cringy, characters are one-dimensional and not at all interesting. The plot is as simplistic as they come - it's just Chief trying to stop some bad guys who are "up to no good". The pacing is completely off, there’s no sense of urgency.
    - Gameplay mechanics are actually well done: it feels nice to shoot, move and use all the weapons/gadgets - that's why multiplayer is really fun to play, but unfortunately these good mechanics are wasted in the campaign because...
    - ... the mission design and open world structure are both very repetitive, unimaginative and flat out boring after a while. If You played the first 2h of the game You've pretty much seen all it has to offer. Later on You'll be just doing the exact same things countless times in the same looking environments over and over again. Missions feel like base Destiny 1 and the open world is the same tired stuff we've all seen a million times in Ubiosoft games. Only here the world is completely empty and lifeless.

    Despite it's major flaws the game can be enjoyable at times in the campaign and the multiplayer is cool (horrible progression system and lack of content notwithstanding), but overall it's a big disappointment. I just don't think 343 is talented enough to create a truly great Halo game:/    … Expand

From the initial isolated environment to marines you encounter along the way feels way out of place in terms of expression as they are way too optimistic and happy imo in the condition they're in. Storytelling wasn't bad, but I have nothing to remember this game by as the story did not progressing at all.… Expand

Sprint has been nailed down perfectly, and previously bad weapons now have a definitive role in the gameplay. The music is major a nostalgia trip, reminding me of previous halo games but being unique enough to be able to differentiate between the soundtracks from previous games. Points were docked due to the abysmal post launch support for the multiplayer. Players were drip fed content, and that content was spaced out every 4-6 months with special events sprinkled throughout. The micro-transactions are the worst thing to have happened to this game as 343 has to pump out cosmetics to keep the store page new and fresh (they’ve spectacularly failed at this).

    Upon loading up halo infinite I was extremely impressed. It actually felt like a halo game on first play.

    After a few hours the issue's really started to show through.

    Pretty much all customisation is locked behind a paywall even colours of Spartan armour. What's even worse is some weapon skins etc are timed so you don't even own them.

    Secondly I actually found going around the map extremely tedious and ammo was always an issue for me.

    The main story is extremely short considering it's pretty much open world exploration.

    Now let's discuss the online eek.

    As said I was a pure halo head from halo 2 introducing online right through to reach I lived online in halo (once completed the campaign on legendary).

    One thing I loved about halo was the online competitive matches and many options of what to play whether team slayer, snipers, swat, objective or even big team battles kept me hooked for years.

    Since 343 took over I've not been able to get into it so imagine how even more disappointed I was playing through game and feeling like halo again only to realise there's no online content.

    Ranked playlists are limited to one playlist and it's got everything thrown in so what happens is you get stuck in an objective game where people only want kid and don't care about the objective because all they're interested in is slayer.

    There's also game breaking issues called server desynching. All online games have a level of this however halo infinite is horrendous. So bad in fact that they tried to fix and made it even worse and then publicly came out saying they couldn't fix it.

    It's so bad that every other game it felt like major lag where you're running for cover and hide behind it only to die through the cover simply because the server hadn't updated for them. As far as their screen concerned you're standing out in the open. Or you're shooting someone and half your bullets aren't registering so you're shooting someone in the back a few times they turn round and outshoot you even though you put enough ammo into their back to kill multiple enemies.

    I totally understand there not being much to play on the series X so for many people any game is a good game but coming from being hyped every time I put halo on even after 1000's of hours of play to uninstalling the game after a week of trying is too much to ignore.    … Expand

    Multiplayer have some game breaking issues that most likely will never get any fixes. In its core the multiplayer is great and a lot of fun which makes it so sad that they don’t fix the issues. The main issues are:

    - DESYNC – Largest problem in the multiplayer. Getting shot behind walls, shots not registering, beatdown from behind not killing, beatdown not from behind killing, grenades not causing damage and so on. Will probably never gets fixed. The old Halo titles (1, 2, 3, reach) plays much better and they never had these problems.
    - No region filters. In halo mcc you can set that you only want to play on for example European servers. This is not possible in Infinite which means that you, when playing in Europe, will get thrown into North American servers sometimes (especially occurring when playing late in central European time). North American servers are unplayable to play on for Europeans due to that the ping is 140-200 ms.
    - Big team is not very fun anymore. Largest problem are the maps which are designed like Formel 1 tracks which causes ground vehicles to become useless due to that there is only one route to take which makes them easy to destroy. Also, they are cluttered with obstacles on the drive paths. What happened to the big and open maps that we all loved from the older titles? Adding all the 1 million anti vehicles equipment’s doesn’t make it any better (especially the ridiculous electric grenade or dynamo or whatever it’s called).
    - Still no co-op, forge, custom browser, theater is broken and barely usable.
    - They didn’t add any player collision which is so stupid. Nobody asked for this to be removed.    … Expand

    Can't really speak for the online mode. I played a few games and it feels solid, but I generally can't stand modern progression systems. So this rating is just for the campaign. Maybe I wouldn't be as kind if I had paid full price for it, but as a jumping-off point into Game Pass on my shiny new Series X this was well-worth my time. Barely any downtime spent on loading screens and a smooth, consistent 60 fps? Simply wonderful.    … Expand

    The story, though, is once again a complete and utter mess. Everything interesting happens off screen and before the game even starts, and all of Halo Infinite is just you, running around, trying to piece together what even led up to you being on Zeta Halo in the first place. It's such a weird and disjointed approach to story-telling that really makes you think that they came up with the Open World first and then just jammed some kind of story into it by leaving audio logs everywhere. And all you get to see are a few fragments of the ring, which all look basically the same, and underground metal hallways. Halo has such a huge potential for exciting missions and epic set pieces, and 343 utilizes NONE of it.    … Expand

However, just like with the really bad I need to do reviews on games that are also really good and that's where Halo comes in. With the travestys for shooters this year in call of duty and battlefield, Halo stands alone as the only sucessful multiplayer shooter of this year. The multiplayer is fun, fast paced and well balanced, with new equipment and weapons that fit in perfectly. The campaign is awesome with 343's transition to a action rpg style campaign with an open world payed off big time. There's a ton of content to explore with a great story and good lore as well and I might argue its one of the best Halo campaigns to date. With the let downs that were Halo 4 and Halo 5 I wasn't sure if 343 would be able to get Halo back to the standard of the Bungie titles. 343, your third attempt was a success and Halo Infinite stands with the best Halo titles that were made. The game is a 9 because of minor issues like xp progression and a lack of playlists but im sure that will get fixed and added along the way. Halo Infinite is what a AAA title should be and it's free, obviously I recommend that anyone should play it.

    Edit: I had to come back and lower the score. After going through the campaign, the faluts of Halo Infinte come to light. Halo Infinte multiplayer runs out of content fast to keep you come back and playing 343 did fail in an area of this game and thats as a live service game that they promoted on being. The campaign is still a must play and I would still give the campaign a 9 out of 10.

I was disappointed again. I enjoyed the new fresh take on the Halo genre and appreciated 343 trying something different. However, it didn't really work for me. The way they designed this game had so much more potential than we were shown. For example, I loved having to clear out the UNSC bases from the Banished but, there was no incentive to come back to them later in the game. I think it would have been better if the bases were attacked by Banished forces and could be recaptured. Also, I loved the open world aspect with the contrasting linear story. But the catch is that the open world is a static biome/landscape filled with almost nothing. Again, there is no incentive to explore the "world" because theres nothing interesting in-between the mission areas. In summary, Halo Infinite was fun to the end but I think they missed a lot. My review was going to be 7/10 but I'm lowering it down to 6 just because I didn't know you couldn't go back and replay missions to get skulls you missed. So, you have to replay the entire game to get every skull if you miss a single one in the "off-map" missions. Annoying and I'm not doing that.… Expand

First of all, it is indeed the best game from the studio, created in 2007 precisely to take care of the franchise after Bungie ended work on the Master Chief and company universe.
    Halo's main draw has always been its gameplay, and it's a relief to see how 343 nailed it with Infinite. Controlling Master Chief is something pleasant and safe, the character's movements convey a security that helps to be sure of what you are doing, the timing of each action and how to better plan for each combat. This is also worth the game's arsenal, always a highlight in any Halo episode. Each weapon has different style and functions and the game design always encourages you to use different models and risk new strategies, which helps keep the duels different. It's even possible to stick to a few models and experience little in battles, but Halo Infinite rewards boldness by presenting different (and often more practical) ways to deal with enemies, especially using some scenario interactions, such as ramps, holes and boxes. explosive. The big highlight in this department, however, is the new hook attached to the Master Chief's arm. The feature works so well that it's hard to imagine it wasn't already part of previous episodes. At first, the grappling hook helps to reach higher platforms, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Fast and practical, the grappling hook helps you move around the scenario faster in general, whether to explore, attack and defend. It's much easier to use the grappling hook to scale a building or just hit the farthest ground and escape farther than to run away. Not only that, the grappling hook is also a weapon and you can attach to enemies to lunge at them and land a punch. With some improvements, you can even paralyze opponents and use the tool not only to get around, but also to control groups of opponents    … Expand

    Now I have loved master chief since I was a kid, and have always played on legendary so these are hard to write, but...
    Too many overly difficult boss fights. Frustrating and get boring. I understand I'm playing on legendary (as I always have) but most of these were unnecessarily difficult and became a chore rather than fun.
    Glitches. GLITCHES EVERYWHERE. honestly sort it out. Audio issues, drop Shield not deploying until over 5 seconds later, checkpoints not taking place where they should (no matter how much I run about trying to force it to!) , weapons not reloading without having to first switch weapons in order to "force" it to, saying ammo full at ammo crates when the weapon is empty... The list goes on. Makes you feel like you're playing a beta not a game you've paid full price for. And gets incredibly tedious. Never played a game with quite so many issues.

    The cosmetic are cool but locked behind multiple pay walls when the battlepass and event should be more than enough.

    If this game doesn't drastically improve in season 2 I will lower the score to a 1.    … Expand

    Единственное что понравилось, это стрельба.

    It’s an average game. About what you’d expect if this came out years ago. But fails to be innovative for a next gen game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Halo Infinite is a surprisingly good game being held back by many issues. The main issue with halo infinite is lack of content. From the 2020 reveal, halo infinite was delayed a full year for quality assurance, but unfortunately a few months before release, 343 announced that forge and coop would be delayed which killed the hype for many people. At release, Infinite only released with only ten maps, which may seem like much but aren’t very well designed. Another big issue are the micro transactions. Halo infinite was announced as a free to play game at E3 2021 and a lot of people were both excited and skeptical. When the game released, many people were upset by the price of items in the games shop with prices being too high. Those are the biggest issues that are plaguing halo infinite right now. The positives, if only a few are definitely great. The first positive is the gameplay. The gameplay is a huge step up from halo 5 which focused more on movement rather than gunplay. The movement in halo infinite is more balanced which leads to more firefights rather than running around the map so much to find a target. The grappling hook is an excellent addition to the sandbox letting you go fast and moving at a consistent speed.The next positive is the campaign. The campaign is a huge step up from halo 5 which was rather disappointing. The campaign has you play as the master chief again trying to find out what happened to Cortana because behind the game, Cortana died off screen. Chief ends up finding a new AI called the weapon who was responsible for capturing and deleting Cortana but Cortana died so she’s still alive which makes chief curios about what happened to Cortana, so the two of them end up on the zeta halo ring trying to find answers to Cortana and how she was killed. Halo Infinite a good game but with many severe issues which hold it back from being great. If it launched with forge and coop, the game would have been much better than it was and I would have given it a 9 rather than a 7, but as it is now, halo infinite is just an okay game with many issues and some good positives.… Expand

    I think the biggest issue for me was that the game’s writers had an unfortunate tendency to introduce these really dramatic, emotional crescendos before the player had a chance to really like the protagonists. It seemed too early to have Master Chief playing the role of sympathetic father, or to have another main character crying about his identity—those scenes could have been shorter and kept closer to the end of the game, when the writers had more emotional capital to cash in with the audience.

    It was a normal AAA FPS game, and I had fun, but it wasn’t spectacular.    … Expand

    Halo Infinite evolved the gameplay and storytelling in a semi-open world aspect with great success. It encapsulated the lore well enough to deliver an interesting story but failed in an overlooked way. The game, inspite of being open world feels off in sense of different environments.

    (Note: This is all story mode, I do not do PvP.) It's not a bad game. However, it isn't really all that great either.

Gameplay in general feels inferior to Halo 5. Various game mechanics are simply given to you and their use is not explained. This made the first boss fight (the elite that could cloak himself) after I reached the open world part far more difficult than it should have been. Halo 5 got the weapons perfect, but Infinite feels like a few steps backward in their handling, ADS behavior and general balance. The very first squad I tried to rescue wasn't anywhere near where it was indicated on the map and it was a real pain to get to where they actually were. The grappling mechanic was clunky to say the least, and only seemed to work when it wanted to. Co-op not being included at release was a major oversight, and I may try it again when I can tag team it with a friend or two. Overall, like I said, it's not a bad game, but it doesn't really feel right and is having a hard time keeping my interest. It just is what it is, and what it is is below what I expect from Halo.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Halo infinite is 343's attempt at winning the trust of the Halo community back. Overall they have kind of succeeded. To start with positives I think the graphics and presentation are solid. environments on max settings look flawless and while the enemies on closeup could use some work, it doesn't take away. The gameplay is roughly the same as previous Halo games but with the added grapple hook. For once, however, the grapple hook is actually a good new feature mainly because it can be used in a variety of ways. You can just grapple around the map, or grapple on an enemy, or grapple and explosive and throw it at an enemy, It works really well. However what works less well is the newest feature, the open world. Halo has done what thousands of games have done before which is have general story content in one area with dozens of side missions and collectibles scattered around a baron wasteland, and it really doesn't work the best in this case. The open-world Halo concept is good but the execution is abysmal. The easiest way to fix it is to have different weathers occasionally or to change the environments from grassy mountains. Maybe have different biomes to show the player they have made progress. The last thing to talk about is the story, which is my biggest issue. 343 had written themselves into a corner with Halo 5 and most of this game's story is trying to retcon that, and while the retconning works, it gives this game a less grand feeling. The protagonists have solid camaraderie and I am happy to finally see a well-written supporting character. I think Esparza should have been in the game more because he's the one character that players can latch on to, but I can't say the same for the villains. The game I would say has 4 villains, which is really unnecessary. Escharum is very underutilized and doesn't feel like a legitimate threat because he never makes any big plays. If he was replaced with Atriox, a character who was shown in previous games and the opening of this game, then the story would have worked better. Blademaster was underused and the harbinger is 343's brand of an evil alien race that master chief has to defeat. If you had 2 villains and nothing more the game would be significantly better. Overall, a good step in the right direction for 343 but an overall meh to a decent game.… Expand

Because it's a whole series I thought the plot will heavily rely on at least the previous title. After copious reading and watching recaps on YT, it turns out that they simply scrapped the buildup of Halo 5. Instead of continuation, we have a kind of soft reboot where throughout the game we learn about events that had already happened. I hoped to find something more than plot exposition about things that 343 wrote off in the background.

    The game begins on a high note but loses a lot of its charm when we progress to the open-world part where things get very repetitive: Go to point A; Plug in the Blue woman to the thingy; Listen to Blue woman talking with Green Man; proceed to do the same thing in other parts of the map; Oh sometimes the big red guy talks through a hologram. Before you have a chance to plug the blue woman into some apparatus you have to destroy some coils, get power cells and clear out FOBs to get access to fast travel, weapons, and vehicles. If you are a completionist you can do other very repetitive things like destroying propaganda towers or collecting audio logs.

    The plot is really weak, and like I said it consists mostly of Master Chief talking with the Weapon. I liked the combat, especially the grappling hook that allowed me to be more dynamic and creative on the battlefield. Boss fights are simply awful. You are trapped in a small arena with a guy that is simply a bullet sponge. They made the combat area small to hide the fact that boss AI is basic, helped by high damage and HP. The hammer guy is the worst boss I fought in a long time. He is not challenging in a good way, this fight is simply annoying. If you go into it with bad weapons you are screwed because he jumps across the room and 1-2 shots you.

    The grunts made my day many times with their humorous quips, so big thumbs up for that - the grunt communications officer is an especially funny one.    … Expand

Boss fights start off decent but then quickly become the easiest things ever (stand there snipe boss from distance nonsense). Useless thruster that serves no purpose and is entirely useless period below level 3, literally easier just to use the grappling hoook. Unbound weapons you unlock do not share ammo types with regular weapons so you have to throw them away to reload your weapon more often than not. Hand holding mechanics through out the entire game essentially.

    gamepass versin of game will not run on my pc even with graphics settings set to everything low. Hve to play console cloud version. Got off the ship and onto the ring in game pass pc version, and then the game just beame unplayable. Thought it was my computer, it is not. COmputer exceeds recommended specs. Installed steam version and game works fine with settings on medium. not surprising in the slightest since 100% of all games i've purchased via microsoft store have had to be repurchased on steam in order to play. At least my progress/unlocks carried over to steam. Quite literally, if they hadn't i'd give this game a 1
    Story is pretty decent at least. Getting bored with dealing with the rings and the flood. Thought this franchise was expanding the scope of it's story to go outside that, but nope..back to rings..back to more flood. At some point, devs are just going to have to tell fans to keep quiet . What do people expect, it's the year 2100 and we are still exploring the adventures of Master Chief. Like seriuosly. Halo's lore shouldn't be exclusive to books and anime. The games shoudl explore all this extra stuff instead of just only focusing on 1 character for bleepin the last 20 years. Move on folks.
    Please just kill off master chief permanently and move the story along..borrring.    … Expand

    Campaign isn’t true to form think Ubisoft games.

    No forge, no co-op, no custom games browser, lobbies browser.

    Missing numerous playlists such as Infection, doubles, snipers.

    Multiplayer is really broken, I have sub 5ms latency yet tons of really weird crap happens that causes me to die.

    I feel like this is beta. So it gets an A(5/5(/10).

    Finish the game and get and updated review.

    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]
