    La verdad tenia pocas espectativas sobre Halo Infinite y el reinicio espiritual pero en verdad me sorprendió, paisajes asombrosos, jugabilidad muy divertida y sobre todo una historia muy nostalgica que me recuerda mucho a Halo CE, 20/10 GOTY

    Was worried at the announcement but after playing the Campaign over the weekend and letting the story I can with faith say that 343 are onto something.

    Yes it has issues, but as a Halo fan I'm incredibly happy. It brings back so many memories of Halo CE. I hated H4 & H5, but this game totally hits the spot. Good job 343!

    This in my opinion is the best or 2nd best halo campaign by date. The only 1 that rivals it is halo 3 for story but i think this game takes the cake. Graphics:10/10 Story:10/10 Missions:10/10
    World Building:10/10 and anything else I missed dis 10 outta 10 but weapons. Qeapons are a 9 because the new shock weapons aren't my taste but they are still amazing. Acoustic loved this halo.

Ele é bom em todos aspectos, mas em todos os aspectos o jogo poderia ser melhor, Sua campanha é boa, é emotiva, porém não é uma campanha muito épica se comparada aos demais Halo, são poucos os momentos realmente marcantes durante a campanha, o jogo é com certeza melhor que o 5, um pouco melho que o ODST e bate de frente em termos gerais com Halo 4, se fosse apenas a campanha, creio que halo 4 seria dito como melhor... Halo Infinite muito provavelmente seja o melhor halo da 343, porém acaba sendo um tanto decepcionante em certas coisas, para mim, a mudança de gráfico foi algo pesado, se eles queriam trocar o motor gráfico do jogo, eles deveriam ter apostado em ambientação e detalhes,infelizmente o jogo peca nos 2 sentidos, no mundo aberto existe apenas um bioma, de perto os detalher são poucos, em áreas fechadas é tudo muito parecido, por mais que seja um jogo bonito, halo merecia mais....

    Globalement j'ai beaucoup apprécié le jeu, j’ai cru un moment ne pas avoir le récit entre Guardian et celui-ci, mais ce fut résumé (très succinctement malheureusement) durant la campagne

    Ce qui est perfectible :
    - la différenciation des éléments (caisse / stockage) fait et non fait (gris clair vs gris c’est pas top) sur la map
    - pas assez d’ennemie répartie sur la map (a mon goût)
    - pas de rejouabilité (pour le moment) des missions
    - indication des nouveaux élément débloqué dans le multi inexistant
    - les soldats qui sont relativement abrutis dans les camps de base
    - les combats en mode "libre" moins stressant que ceux durant les missions (de part la taille de la map et la facilité à sniper à outrance)
    - Les graphisme parfois vraiment pas top
    - un peu trop d'armes au sol et globalement partout, c'est rare d'être totalement à court de munition

    Mais j’ai adoré :
    - Cortana v2 et son caractère naïf et innocent
    - Les répliques des grognards (et globalement tous les ennemies)
    - l’IA qui cherche à te contourner pour te mettre en pression durant les combats
    - l’Histoire (forcement)
    - les boss fight plutôt costaud et intense (vu qu’ils sont tous 3 fois plus rapide que nous et surtout bien plus costaud)
    - ce sentiment de satisfaction à chaque fois qu’on fini une épreuve un peu beaucoup tendu
    - ... les chasseurs…. (qui te file ce sentiment de : "ho putain pas eux") :)
    - des secrets..... vraiment bien caché
    - des clins d'oeil excellent :)
    - Les capacités de move apporté par le grappin et les propulseurs
    - la variétés des armes et leur capacité à mettre à mal les ennemies en étant plus ou moins efficace suivant qui se trouve en face (et ne pas oublier qu'on ne porte que 2 armes) le switch est donc primordial avec les armes trouvé à terre tout en continuant d'esquiver les nombreuses attaques

    Je n'ai rencontré qu'un seul bug de son durant toute la campagne lors d'une fin de mission à transition (mais enchainement sur le lore où la sauvegarde à été effectué, donc j'ai juste eu a reboot le jeu).

    El juego está genial, mecánicas y combate mucho más fluido que anteriores entregas, el mundo abierto es hermoso y lo que más me gustó aparte de la mecánica del Arpón, es el sistema de puestos de avanzada para poder equipar las armas que más gustes o te den ventaja para cada misión, armas que debes ir consiguiendo en misiones secundarias

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The campaign was great, definitely felt like I missed some of the linear set pieces from previous games, great assaults with other marines/Spartans. But an ok alternative was rounding up marines at an FOB, decking them out in gear and driving over to a objective in a Razorback, their combat AI is pretty good I enjoyed immersing myself in the atmosphere.

    I thought the story was at times slightly confusing, like the inclusion of the harbringer who wasn’t that well explained, but maybe in another game she will. The other villains were easier to understand, the banished are a great faction and the boss fights were fun, I felt very vulnerable as I swung, dodged and drop wall shielded myself from attacks.

And you can only get armor and such through the battlepass or the shop.

Mixing both classic elements of what makes Halo... Halo! And evolving itself with new mechanics within the game play.

    The story beats, music, atmosphere all of it comes together perfectly in my opinion. And this is just the campaign side of things. The multiplayer has had its missteps. But I attribute all of that to the dismal microtransaction system. Throwing that fact aside. The rest of multiplayer is amazing and has me excited for the future of Halo Infinite.

    Though some may not agree. This game is an absolute 10 for me. Just from campaign alone. I will be playing through this one a multitude of times and I am SO INCREDIBLY excited for the future DLC coming to Halo Infinite. Further expanding on the phenomenal foundation 343 has built for this game. 343 Industries, if one or more of you happen to read this. I hope you all maintain the recipe you have here. Because currently, the flavor of this game is superb.

    I think the worst thing that can happen that nobody is talking about is 343 letting more talent get lost in another round of revolving door contracts, especially the people responsible for the well received aspects of the game. Forget the store, monetization, battle pass issues. All of these things can be addressed with feedback and talented developers to make the changes needed. Seems like losing the knowledge and experience working with a proprietary engine to expiring contracts would really hurt 343's ability to continue to improve on Infinite's launch.    … Expand

    Being a longtime Halo fan, I didn’t think 343 was capable of making a Halo game that captured that nostalgia from the original trilogy but adding too it. Great campaign experience with more to come in the future! Multiplayer CAN be the best in series history but 343 needs to add more maps, modes, fix progression system, and chill on MTX. Overall a top tier Halo experience with a great future.

There were times when I would call in a vehiclle drop, and the idiot would just stand there and get killed. *eye roll* Other times with the car full of marines, they aren't shooting as much as they need to be. I remember in past Halo games your A.I. marines would sometimes drive vehicles and help out more. I wish that would happen here. Like if we pull up in a Warthog and I see a Ghost. Let me grab the Ghost and someone else take the Warthog! Smh...otherwise I felt like the campaign was great. The multiplayer is cool.

    Regarding the campaign, while Halo 3's story will always be my personal favorite, this Halo is the best halo experience in the franchise history. The gameplay doesn't go stale, with the only repetitive missions being the FOB, the game feels new with every enemy base, the map size is perfect and no trail feels too far, there's always something to do without feeling overwhelmed.

    Halo Infinite is a fantastic sandbox shooter game. The gunplay is spot-on, graphics are fantastic on the Series X, and the game is very well-optimised for the device. Campaign looks great, so does multiplayer. It all feels like Halo.
    Story is good, but Escharum does feel a bit forced. He doesn't seem to have his own objective alongside being the antagonist (think Tartarus's objective of    Halo Infinite is a fantastic sandbox shooter game.

    Story is good, but Escharum does feel a bit forced. He doesn't seem to have his own objective alongside being the antagonist (think Tartarus's objective of lighting the ring while opposing the Arbiter), besides sitting and waiting for the Chief. But there are moments that are very emotive, and make you feel invested in the story.

    Only 9/10 because the game is missing Campaign co-op at launch, and I would have loved to play this first-time with my brother. Also, the 'Doomsday' mechanic for vehicles is a bit haphazard and not very explicit in the lead-up to your vehicle's destruction (i.e. should have had engine on fire effects).

    It does a great job of wrapping up the convoluted direction the Halo universe was going in, after the events of Halo 5, and really opens the doors to future sequels over the next 10 years.    … Expand

    The game/gunplay is second to none. It is soooo much fun to drop into a quick MP match or to take on some outposts in the campaign. Everything is just about perfect.
    The multiplayer is really where the game shines. The progression system at first was annoying but how 343i is so attuned with the community I am nothing but impressed at how they take it to heart and make changes accordingly.

    Just a fantastic game and I can’t wait to see where they take it from here.    … Expand

    Easily the best Halo campaign since Reach.

    I'll get the negatives out of the way first. The open world, while well executed, will always force a game into certain corners. Some of the objectives, particularly the marine rescues, felt less creative than the others. Despite feeling very hand-crafted, the map is all a single biome, making each side of it look nearly identical. Despite    Easily the best Halo campaign since Reach.

    I'll get the negatives out of the way first. The open world, while well executed, will always force a game into certain corners. Some of the objectives, particularly the marine rescues, felt less creative than the others. Despite feeling very hand-crafted, the map is all a single biome, making each side of it look nearly identical. Despite being very diverse, there's only one enemy faction. I mention that as some of my favorite games in the series had missions with multiple enemy factions fighting against one another, creating uniquely dynamic scenarios. The linear level's designs could get a tad repetitive. Friendly AI felt less dynamic than in previous titles. Some "we're all in this together" type cutscenes felt out of place. Some disappointing narrative choices, though I won't spoil anything.

    That being said, the positives outweigh the negatives heavily. The open world is very well executed. I found myself exploring nearly every inch of it looking for skulls and easter eggs. It simply screams "Halo". I played through it on a base Xbox One, and surprisingly enough it ran without a hitch. The visuals were scaled down as expected, but the framerate was consistent and I never felt like I was getting a lower-tier experience. The weapon variety is on-point, with some of the new ones feeling like staples in the franchise moving forward. The enemies are exciting to fight, with a special shoutout to the boss fights. The main missions provided the necessary linear elements of the game, and also provided a fairly captivating story. The grapple hook feels like it should've been there from the beginning, and makes for some of the best flowing gameplay in the series, that at the same time doesn't depart from the classically grounded Halo combat. The soundtrack is stellar as always, but this time around was clearly inspired by Halo CE's.

    From the very first trailer where Chief is floating through space with his grapple hook floating around him like an infant's umbilical cord, I knew 343 was going for a super-soft reboot of the series and a promise of a new generation of Halo, which they undoubtedly delivered on.    … Expand

When I played Halo 5 and Halo 4, I was super disappointed on how 343 changed up the gameplay and made halo basically CALL OF HALO. Infinite goes back to basics with the gameplay while adding a new built in feature in the campaign, that makes me feel like Spiderman in a super soldier suite. The grapple hook has helped me defeat in many points like when I am circled around by some grunts. Another thing that I like about the campaign is its characters. The weapon is my favorite character in the game because of how much she makes jokes but not to many jokes and how she makes fun of the enemies. One flaw that Halo Infinite suffers is its visuals, I was starting to get a bit bored of just seeing only grass forerunner objects rocks so I do wish in a DLC they bring back other maps like the snow area from combat evolved or a warthog run stage. Another small flaw is that the story, without spoilers but I did find the story in the second act a bit confusing to understand. But overall Halo Infinite is a great fps campaign and I do recommend if you are looking for a Halo game to start with. Like God of War and Spiderman ps4, Halo infinite amazed me with its world and characters and its weapons, I had a great time and 343 improves on some of the flaws on the campaign when the campaign co op releases.

    Many players have moments when they seem to like the game, but do not want to play it too much. This one is in this category.

    Strictly speaking about the campaign; Is this the best open world FPS game ever? No. Is it the best Halo ever? Yes, without a doubt.

No. Is it the best Halo ever? Yes, without a doubt.

    Zeta Halo is a beautiful world with a culmination of vast open valleys and scenic vista and alien octagonal pillars emerging from the ground creating synthetic “mountains” and ancient alien architecture akin to the original halo games (think of the level HALO from the first game inflated to a point where it is it’s own game) all the while we see UNSC ships littered through out the ring showing clear signs of failure and the desecrating expanding industrial footprint the banished have constructed // though the view is beautiful, there isn’t much any location on the map that sets it apart from other areas. It’s all cliff faces, fields, valleys, and lakes. I wish we had snow capped mountain, or geysers or something of the sorts to mix it up. “More Yellowstone less Yosemite” Not only does it lack in memorable areas, the size is not very large, it’s similar in scope of MGSV Phantom Pain Afghanistan map

    The map is strangely devoid of wildlife. Yes you’ll see prairie dogs scurry and birds fly in flocks, but it would be more lively if we could see alien wildlife roaming in herds or grazing or stalking prey in the thicket; that would attack both the player and the banished.

    The vast open world is littered with FOB outpost recovery, UNSC squad distress signals, and high valued targets needing to be eliminated. However don’t mistake these as side missions as they are not. No scripted events, cutscenes, or dialogues. Just a “kill and control” completing the campaign and these “kill and control” events leaves the game empty with very little to do.

    Recovery of the FOBS allow requisite drops which are limited to Guns and Vehicles. Cool concept but annoying that, that is the only way to replenish items you need. I wish it was integrated in a way that you can call echo 216 to drop guns, vehicles, MARINES or even supporting fire from any location rather than just guns and vehicles in conquered FOBs. And to also add life to the game, have FOBs be under sieged by banished forces 3-5 times in “in game days” and failure to recover an FOB will result in some vehicles and guns not being able to be dropped until FOB is conquered. It adds a goal and stakes to an otherwise empty world.

    But what lacks in depth and size it greatly makes up in combat and gameplay. Maintaining a stable 60 FPS and occasionally dropping to 90 FPS in this performance mode, halo has improved in its gameplay and feels the best to play then all the others in the past. It feels more like DESTINY and DOOM combined while maintaining that classic Halo formula. The only issue I have is that a lot of classic guns from Bungies halo and even 343 Halo are omitted. And the new guns now are awful to say the least. They lack in variety and distinction and are missing that uniqueness bungie and early 343 brought to the table.

    Final verdict, there are other open world games that have done it so much better than Halo infinite. But that’s not to say that the game is bad. No not at all. There are very little few things that the game has in its current state that makes it “bad” but it’s more of the things that have been omitted that prevents its from being one of the best games of all time.

    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]
