    This is what halo 4 should have been. 343 has shown me they have what it takes to beat bungies. That's what bungie did beat their last game and infinite brats halo 3 for the skale and next big thing and idea.

    I think it's the best Halo game I've ever played. The open world is beautifully blended. Storytelling is equally successful. The mechanics and graphics are good. But there are drops in the game.

I'll summarize the look, feel, execution of the game as absolutely solid. No major or hardly even minor bugs to speak of. The game is ultra-smooth and I have a feeling that the extra year 343 got to take on the game really allowed this game to launch with most of its core features in-tact (campaign, multiplayer, online features/store). But what I really want to express is my love for the campaign - the story told. I was a little frustrated that the gap between Halo 5 and Infinite from a story point was so janky. I knew a little bit of what was going on by watching some lore videos that connect the events leading into this game but felt that the game itself did a poor job of setting the stage and making me really care about what's going on - or even just know what's going on. It ended up working out. The storytelling is intentional and you get most of the picture through clever narrative choices, objects in the game that unfold the major plot progression from the moments Halo 5 conclude to where you end up in Halo Infinite.

    I will refrain from spoilers but the entire conclusion is masterful - this is the BEST Halo story ever told. I wish the best for 343 and where they go from here with a story that seems to be finishing but not yet totally finished. Play the campaign, listen to the story, see where you think things end up. It was beautifully done and finally served Master Chief with some believable vulnerability and puts a bow on a major plotline that has persisted through 5 Halo games. I loved every minute of it and Infinite makes me feel like 343 finally figured out how to make a Halo game that's theirs.

    My complaints are near-zero. I don't think the Slipspace Engine that Infinite was built using is quite as good as I had hoped. I feel like the option to rely on Halo 3 visual art was maybe too much lip-service to Halo fans. I'm a core Halo fan, been playing since the first game debuted, and I would have been happy to see 343 take a few steps forward for immersion via graphics. If you've seen what a few screenshots looked like using the Unreal Engine (search for it online) you'll see what I mean - there's something about a more realistic version of Halo that made me wish the Slipsplace Engine delivered that kind of visual entertainment. It's kinda nit-picky though and I still feel this is by-far the best-looking Halo ever, both because of its 4K delivery AND it's fantastic HDR delivery - the lighting is amazing.

    My other light complaint is the fact that the campaign space clearly rips off Far Cry. Not a bad thing - it was a fun time experiencing Far Cry but in a Halo setting, but I hope 343 thinks through their open-world delivery (it's clearly not the end of this format) as the things you do on the side present as mostly unimportant. They do drag out the campaign experience by many hours on Normal to around 30 hours, which is awesome in my opinion. I only wish there was even more content to work through that would push it beyond that. I will only have Legendary to attempt some day, but that'll be for another time. Halo Infinite is about as good as it could have been.

    My other nit-picky issue, and it's minor,    … Expand

    As someone who's not a Halo fan, this has been one of the funnest games I've played all year. Excellent gunplay, feels fresh while staying true to the original formula, and runs great on the Series X. The lack of co-op at launch is the only thing that prevents me from rating it more highly, and perhaps more variety in the environment s.

    When Bungie started this franchise, it felt like hit after hit and each Halo release was an event and was special. Then Bungie with their own way to start Destiny and since then, Halo just hasn't been the same. 343 struggled to match what Bungie had done so well for so many years and never really knocked it out of the park with a great halo game...until now. 343 has finally done it andWhen Bungie started this franchise, it felt like hit after hit and each Halo release was an event and was special. Then Bungie with their own way to start Destiny and since then, Halo just hasn't been the same. 343 struggled to match what Bungie had done so well for so many years and never really knocked it out of the park with a great halo game...until now. 343 has finally done it and proved that the 1 year delay was the right thing to do.

    I was in my early 20's when the first Halo launched. Playing Halo for the first time was magical and really took first-person shooters to another level. Halo Infinite creates that same feeling I had 20 years ago. I truly feel reconnected to the franchise again. Infinite gives you a new world to explore and exploration is a rewarding experience in this game. Going off the beaten path, you're sure to find easter eggs and random encounters while picking up collectibles along the way. Infinite takes the open-world experience and connects everything you do and everything you find to create a complete experience for the player. What I mean by that is that so many open-world games I've played in the past have repetitive tasks and side jobs to do in each region and often it becomes tedious and not very rewarding in the end. While there are many side tasks that are repetitive such as rescuing a group of marines, or destroying coms towers, finding audio logs, hunting high-value targets, etc. None of it feels tedious or overly repetitive. Every one of theses tasks rewards you for your efforts. Some of these tasks give you valuable information that adds color to the story, others give you upgrades to Master Chief's, weapon variants, mods to the gameplay, some unlock more vehicles or weapons you can deploy at one of the many bases in the game. Some give you cosmetic items to customize your spartan in multiplayer. Everything you do rewards you with something that will enhance your gameplay.

    This game does an amazing job of blending everything that was memorable about past halo experiences, while adding so many new things from gadgets, to vehicles to guns in an open-world setting that is so much fun to explore. My only gripe is that coop isn't available. I can already imagine how much fun it will be to team up with a friend or a group of friends and play through this open world together. It truly is a blast and anyone who wants an incredible halo experience should give this a look if you haven't already.    … Expand

    Woah! What a world 343 has crafted. The gunplay is fantastic and addictive, with the story pulling you in. You'll feel like a hero as you liberate marines and upgrade your weapons and abilities. It's really fantastic and reminds you of what you first loved about Halo. I have no complaints, the -1 is for the pay-to-look-pretty in MP.

The campaign was very nice, but for me the multiplayer (especially with it being FTP and on Xbox GamePass) is awesome. Things feel very balanced, it's wildly fun and replayable, and the customization options are great as well. My only issues stem from the small amount of maps (which I'm sure will be expanded upon with free DLC in the future) and the slow progression system. Otherwise, this is a really nice return to the series for me and seemingly many fans of the series feel the same way.… Expand

    I don't really have much to say except that it's the (fps) game of the year. Great story, great gameplay, great multiplayer! Feels good to be Onyx already, it feels rewarding compared to other games where it's almost impossible to solo grind top tier. The open-world was a bit weird but it wasn't bad at all, I think they delivered it perfectly without breaking what makes Halo an amazing game.

The objectives are diverse and well done. AI are aggressive and sometime can surprise you. The soundtrack is subtle, yet it supports the action pretty well.

    The only negatives are the immersion. I would have loved a better immersion on the remaining UNSC troops. It feels like they are just there and awaiting you to get ''activated'' which feel too orchestrated. I don't love the Banished cinematics that much, they feel unoriginal without any punch to them. They are regular enemies that serves their purpose, nothing more. Still, I did not finished the game still so maybe they will add some personality to them down the road. Also, the game seems laggy sometimes but maybe its my PC.

    The multiplayer is a blast, a lot of replayability there.

The series had kinda died for me since HALO 4, but with this one, the future is bright for Master Chief once again.

    If I could use one word to summarize Infinite, it would be FUN.
    I've played this game for a bit over 15 hours and I felt nothing but joy from beginning to end. The gameplay is just peak HALO! From multiplayer to the campaign.
    The environments are beautiful and feel great to explore, the level of verticality in the open world and interior stages is amazing, sidequests are fast paced and important to the main story, every gun is useful and impactful, multiplayer feels fresh... Everything just works and its execution is highly addicting. I almost 100% the map, even after finishing the story.

    The reason why I think Infinite's gameplay loop works so well is due to its greatest addition. And no, it's not the new sandbox-style map. It's something simpler: the grappling hook.
    Grappling hooks usually transforms the game and it wasn't different for HALO. It makes traversal fun and quick, opens new doors to improvise during combat, makes platforming a charm and it changes the game. It's so good that I didn't even care for the other equipments. In fact, changing equipments in this game is a hassle. I just stuck with the hook.

    But the cracks in this near perfect HALO game starts to show up when the story becomes the focus.
    Master Chief's new narrative is good. It's definitely a huge improvement over the 4th and 5th entries. The writing is good, the new Cortana is cool as hell, the Banished are threatening, Chief is better than ever and even Echo 216 gets to shine.
    The problem is that it feels very incomplete. It's not well told at all. Most things happen before the game even start. Actually, almost every essential moment happens off-screen and even the cutscenes, while graphically impressive, feel a bit off. I also don't think it ties well with where 5 left off, which is absurd, since that game had universal-threats like the Guardians being thrown at you. And now they are gone. Just like that.

    And as the story cracks are perceived, some of the bad leaks to the gameplay as well. Like how checkpoints happen at random. And how sometimes the challenge can be a bit too much. Or how driving any vehicle (except the Ghost) in this game is horrible. And then you notice that the final levels of the game, while still thrilling, can get very repetitive and sort of tedious.

    But even after noticing these cracks, I also know that they're very small compared to how good this game is. This is the best HALO since 3. It pulled me back to a franchise that I absolutely love and that made me incredibly happy. This is definitely 343's finest work. Hell, they even made the boss fights remarkable and I don't think I can say that for past HALO games.

    With a short and sweet open world, fantastic gameplay and an ok story, HALO's back, making this Microsoft's best exclusive game in years.    … Expand

I enjoyed all the new additions to the gameplay mechanics and the multiplayer games are really fun to play. It still needs some work regarding options and match style but I’m hopeful that more will be added along the way.

    The game definitely was released incomplete, I’m pretty sure it was hectic development cycle but as a Halo fan I was glad to get some new Halo and what I expected I enjoyed and it was free (multiplayer) so I’m definitely not as critical as others regarding this aspect.

    The campaign I experienced through Xbox GamePass and I loved it, the story was good and I really loved the open terrain of this game as it definitely captures the best moments from the original Halo CE game. I also liked the side missions and secrets/collectibles. There’s simply plenty to do here and that’s good.

    Now 343 still has some work to do like add the ability to replay missions, more multiplayer match styles, etc. but the idea for this game was to be an expanding/evolving experience through the years so I’m looking forward to getting more Halo content over time, so I’m overlooking some of the negatives and concentrating on all the goods we can currently enjoy.    … Expand

Halo Infinite is a great game with rough edges (a lot of rough edges) that is ultimately held up by incredible gameplay that’s just insanely fun to play.

    The gameplay is what really saves this game. The addition of the grappling hook, which adds a slew of new tactical options in combat, as well as movement capabilities, is super fun to use. It’s great in the campaign and a fantastic addition to the multiplayer which has a renewed emphasis on equipment. The weapons are fantastic, the game is fast, fun and just overwhelmingly entertaining.

    That being said…

    Infinite is unpolished. The open world appears beautiful at first glance. However, spending time here begins to reveal rough edges. Geometry is at times so basic it looks like triangles. Grass floats in mid air over the edges of the ground. There is texture and object pop-in, a problem that is exponentially worse when flying a banshee or hornet. Shadows and light flicker unrealistically. There are frame rate drops and in general the whole thing suffers from a lack of optimization. It doesn’t distract from the excellent gameplay, but it certainly hurts immersion. You’re constantly reminded this is a video game and that hampers the experience.

    To avoid spoilers I won’t go into it, but it’s just a very generic story. However, it’s told much more competently than Halo 5’s plot. Which, in my opinion, was more interesting, but delivered in a very boring way. There are good beats between Chief and new Cortana, well performed by Steve Downs and Jen Taylor. These moments are far more interesting and impactful than the Banished plot. The story is just underwhelming. With cutscenes playing out in a very formulaic fashion. And there is a general lack of variety in the game. You’re either outside in a giant version of the second level from the first game, or inside the ring, running through identical shiny blue metal corridors. No snow. No desert. No beaches. No swamps. It’s all rather repetitive.

    On the multiplayer side of things the game suffers from a lack of content, and some bad decisions regarding progression, unlocks, and customization. Don’t get me started on micro-transactions. The prices in the store are a joke. They’ve made some changes but they’ve got a long way to go. ($7 for a Ace playing card to stick on my helmet? Seriously? It’s insulting. And they still want you to pay for basic colors like red, blue, etc.) But we mustn't blame 343, these are likely big daddy Microsoft decisions. And it does sound like they’re listening to community feedback so fingers crossed.

    So. Why the 9? Sounds like I’ve got a lot of issues with the game. I DO. But, ITS DAMN GOOD FUN TO PLAY. I can’t argue with others who’ve scored the game lower, but at the end of the day, I play a game for fun. And this is the most fun I’ve had with a shooter in years. Every time I turn the game on I end up having a blast and I’ve got a smile on my face the whole time. I really hope they continue to give the game the polish it deserves. Despite it’s flaws, this is a must play and one of the best games on any platform. 9/10    … Expand

    6 long years since the dumpster fire that was Halo 5's main campaign. John 117 is officially back in what is arguably studio 343's finest piece of work.

The story    6 long years since the dumpster fire that was Halo 5's main campaign. John 117 is officially back in what is arguably studio 343's finest piece of work.

    Set after the events of Halo 5 and also after the void where perhaps there was once an idea for a Halo 6, the story picks up with the Chief comatose in space after a failed altercation with our new villains 'The Banished'. The story told here is a simple one, this is not to say poor, but most importantly decided to focus on the Chief and his emotional fall out from the events involving Cortana in Halo 4 & 5 as he attempts to stop 'The Banished' from achieving their evil plan.

    The gameplay in this game feels refined and is very reminiscent of when I first picked up the Xbox controller years ago and stepped foot into combat evolved. The nostalgia here is indeed strong with this one. With the move sets on offer, this is the closest to letting you feel like a Spartan the games have ever achieved. The environments are rich in detail although sometimes a bit sparse with activity and the graphical detail is glorious and really sings in 4K.

    A big part for any story driven game for me is the musical score. Gareth Coker really nails his composition and uses subtle Halo motifs to reinforce his original work. The result is a score that can move you and get your adrenaline pumping when the time is right. The rest of the sound design is also spectacular particularly when run through a 5.1 set up with an excellent mix of dialogue, music and sound effects with excellent spatial separation.

    Disclaimer: I am a Halo nut. My only criticism with the game is that you essentially only inhabit 2 biomes throughout your 20 something hour journey. Although the gameplay always kept it feeling fresh as the loop was so addictive I did feel by the end game I would have liked to have seen a little variety in the locations throughout the game. Hopefully these will be used in whatever Halo Infinite will become as it is my impression that this is the platform for the future of Halo.

    Overall, this is a masterpiece. Was it worth the wait? A resounding yes. Although location variety an issue throughout the main campaign I spent my entire time eager to jump back in and progress with finishing the fight. Welcome back Master Chief, you have been missed.    … Expand

    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]
