    Don't let the reviews complaining early lack of multiplayer content stop you from enjoying this game.

    Halo Infinite is a very enjoyable game and both the multiplayer and campaign have a lot to offer. It has only gotten better over time.

    The campaign is unbelievably good. Easily the best since halo 3. The campaign is so good I would give this a 10/10, but it loses a point for the long list of issues with the monetization of the MP and lack of MP content.

The gunplay has never been smoother the weapon sandbox is great I found my self utilizing every weapon in the game at one point or another. Movement has gotten much better while the new movement options in 5 felt like a gimmick the inclusion of the grapple hook really evaluated the whole experience and made the act of getting around in a fight a lot of fun. Having items that you carry around the whole game like a deployable shield or enemy scanner to be used anytime is also a great new feature that just made gunplay more engaging. My only complaint I have for it is I wish that it was easier to pick in the heat of battle as trying to navigate by tapping the d pad to the right then selecting was kind of annoying. The plot I thought was a lot more interesting then the other games although it did feel kinda lack luster but I appreciate them slimming the cast down and giving us a more concise story where 5 had like way to many characters where most did nothing. The Banished are a great new enemy you really learn and get a feel for them and they feel distinct unlike the covenant remanence of the last 2 games. And unlike the promethiens their a lot of fun to fight. And the enemy A.I has certainly been improved while not perfect enemy's act and behave alot more like how you'd expect. And the new art style change to a much more classic and simple design is a welcome change and really appreciated because my god the covenant were so ugly in the last games. The open world aspect was neat but it could of been utilized more. Like some actual side quests or some big large scale battles would of been coll. And the whole taking back the ring with these little marine bases feels a bit tagged on like they don't really impact anything it feels. I would of licked for our home base to be more dynamic changing and growing as the game progressed. Another thing I'm not a big fan about is that visually most of the levels look the same which can make them a bit exhausting and boring. However one thing this game nailed is the boss fights which really surprised me. While 2 tried some fights and they were kinda **** and 5 had one okay fight they used over and over again this game has a good amount of boss fights that are all fun and some are even challenging. Overall the campaign is great but I do see potential for it to be even better.

    And for the multiplayer let me just say I hate battle pass progression systems. They aren't fun and the fact you only get experience for the challenges is really annoying and deters me from playing game modes I actually wanna play. The customization is really good but I don't know why it needs to be split between different armor types like let me mix and match whatever I want. Although having different loadouts for customization would be cool and its kinda like that now but they should expand on that idea at some point. Now my only other real other complaint for the multiplayer is the lack of maps they really got to add more maps because their already getting kinda old. Not that their bad but it just feels like I'm playing the same ones all the time. Luckily the gunplay just like the campaign is a lot of fun and much better experience then 4 or 5 on the multiplayer side of things. The multiplayer is really fun I just wish the progression system was actually rewarding and that their was an actual level to everyone's profile.

    Campaign is pretty awesome. I rated 9 of 10 due to multiplayer which should get more content updates. The controversies about microtransactions is overblown in my opinion. Those cosmetic items are optional and a lot can be farmed for free or via battlepass. Multiplayer is free to play.

The open world doesn't feel empty. The Chief taking on the responsibility of spearheading the offense feels very epic. Music is situational. There is custom skill growth (skill tree). More content on the way. The enemy AI is very advanced and rewarding (if there is a challenge, they organize, garrison, arm themselves, flank you, hunt you down). Some achievements went off the scale. With ingenuity you can do very WTF things. The Weapon as an assistant is equal parts funny, naive, and absurd. The handling of textures is incredible. The draw distance is huge and they took their time to adjust to the changes in light and the different heights and levels within the ring (they don't use the cheap trick of fog or clouds). Great fun exploring the map, swinging, climbing the Towers,

    The bad:
    It annoys me that the bootleg doll aesthetic returns, discarding the “realistic” aesthetic of the Tank with legs concept. The new weapons are fine (nothing more). They didn't coddle much of the missions. More content on the way (when?). I miss some “punch” to the music. I feel like a Soft Reboot although some Prometheans are out there lost. They had said that the multiplayer could be separated from the game and they are there together on the record. Few biomes to explore.

    Lo Meh!:
    Personally, I'm tired of open worlds, I can't stand them, and it bothers me that Halo jumps on that trend just to fit in, not because I'm comfortable with it. Keeping with how much I hate open worlds it bothers me that Master Chief is the one using the grappling hook, couldn't another new character be using the grappling hook and saving the Chief? (A la Donkey Kong: Diddy's Kong Quest) because there are so many characters that use a hook that looks more like a skin of Nate Spencer (Bionic Commando) or Rico Rodriguez (Just Cause) with the Chief's suit swinging from the Zeta Halo. They forgot about Halo 5 Guardians, Perseverance Witness and the Guardians, Cadet Kelly and the blue team…

Both the single-player and multiplayer feel like the classic Halo formula but evolved into the next level, and the story quality is at it's finest giving me my both my favorite story and social experience since 3. This truly felt like a fresh start for the series by wrapping up all loose ends and laying the groundwork for the next phase of this universe, and if this is only the beginning of what they're capable of I can't wait to see where they go next. Also Chief's new AI made this whole game worth playing just because of how great she was. Expand

    It’s is awesome start for new story. I give it 9 because I felt like in Halo 1 or 2. It’s not masterpiece. Yes it has some issues with open world (I don’t like it much). But thx 343 this open-world is small. Thanks a lot for this!!!

    Masterpiece gameplay. Thx a lot for shooting 10/10. Every battle feels like puzzle in legendary. Thx for adding some abilities.

    I hope the story will be more complicated but I understand that this is only the beginning and I see that you know what to do. Some sort of soft-reset?

    Played on Xbox Series X - As someone who has been a fan of Halo for a long time, I can safely say that Halo Infinite is the best Halo has been in over a decade. The gameplay in Infinite is an excellent mixture of the modern, fluent gameplay of many current FPS's, and the classic open ended, fast paced, and detailed combat of old school FPS's.

The gameplay in Infinite is an excellent mixture of the modern, fluent gameplay of many current FPS's, and the classic open ended, fast paced, and detailed combat of old school FPS's. The campaign in Halo Infinite is pretty good and is certainly the most entertaining and intriguing story 343 Industries has told since taking over the Halo franchise in 2011. The gameplay, enemy variety, story, and characters in the campaign are all very good as a whole. There are problems in the campaign when it comes to level diversity, or the lack of it. Another problem I have experienced has to do with how useful most of the equipment you get throughout the campaign actually is; as I really only used the Grappleshot throughout the story, and on occasion the Threat Sensor. I also very much wish that Halo Infinites campaign had co-op at launch, but I know that it will be added to the game later down the line. Halo Infinite does feel a lot like a combination of Doom Eternal, Far Cry, and the classic Halo games. You would think that this combination would be a bit of a mess, but it works pretty well and Is very fun.

    When it comes to multiplayer, Halo Infinite is bordering on excellency. What is in Halo Infinites multiplayer is spectacular, it is what is not in it that is upsetting. As of this review there is a lack of modes in matchmaking, as well as some big problems when it comes to not being able to choose specific multiplayer modes/playlists; with players having to rely on luck much of the time if they want to get the right game mode for a challenge. Speaking of challenges, they need work. Doing challenges is the only way to level up in infinite, as the only ranking system in the game is the Battle Pass. Because everyone is going out of their way to do challenges to level up, it brakes up a matches flow and can result in some unpleasant moments in a match. This, combined with the lack of earnable customization and the heavy monetization of other customizations, is incredibly disappointing, if not infuriating.

    Over all, Halo Infinite has some big flaws, but these flaws are easily fixable. And even with these flaws the game is worth buying, it really is just that good. Heck, the multiplayer is free to play. If you are able to try the games multiplayer out, then there is no reason not to.

    Graphics wise for the campaign running at 60fps on the XSX with a VRR OLED was amazingly good. Detail in Master Chief’s armor was detailed dramatically compared to the original showing of the game. Some cutscene issues with what appears to be uneven frame rate being shown had a slight impact, but I know that will be fixed.

    This game did an excellent job at patching the horrible story from Halo 5 in terms of its beloved main characters but I will say I wish it turned out differently. That being said I can’t give this game a 10 if I wanted to because the story was good but it wasn’t a full revision of the Halo 5 catastrophe.

    It appears 343 has finally did it; they made a campaign and a multiplayer both really good for the same title. Congrats and I hope they fix the issues on the multiplayer we all want to be done.

Enemies are actually fun to fight, and the mission to rid the Halo Ring of Banished is very addictive. There are some things missing, some of which will take a while for 343 to incorporate, but this game is genuinely enjoyable regardless.

I feel the world though is a bit empty , should’ve been more enemies , more things to do, 343i should have given the players a reason to want to explore the world , find rare weapons and alow us to add it to our inventory hidden boss battles , rare exclusive weapons that we can keep , not just use and discard . Added more diversity to the world and a lot more objectives and sort lines , more characters... perhaps some side quest where and consequences to your actions failing to rescue some on of a fob , or prisoners .. branching story . I feel there is absolutely no consequences to rescuing prisoners and them dying a few seconds later .. the story is interesting , but it’s lacking a lot . Boss battles are tough and engaging , some random bosses can be pretty tough as well .. abilities you can unlock are great though wishing it was a bit easier to swap them instead of having to press a button look at what abilities is what button and press that one .. it’s a bit of a pain to do when you have like 20-30 enemies circling you .

    Overall I love the game even with minor grips I would have it a ten , the multiplayer focused and Microsoft money hungry tactics take a point or two down .. still though what an amazing halo game for a first attempt . Fix a few quicks , cut out the multiplayer bull crap , add a lot more exploration and other things in story , add some real detail side quest you’ll have a game of the year

    After playing the campaign through to completion, and spending over 24 hours of gameplay in Multiplayer, I can say that Halo Infinite is a testament to how well the tried-and-true formula of the series can stand against the test of time. This simplified shooter gameplay has been evolved in a natural, organic manner that truly feels like a finally worthwhile sequel to Halo 3 in 2007.

    It focuses on the "equal starts" that are core to good Arena shooters, but expands the player's options by adding to the "sandbox", giving the players so many interesting toys to fight over and use.

    The multiplayer component is definitely missing tons of legacy features, however, and suffers from quite a few bugs (some game-breaking) on PC.

    The campaign tells an incredible story shrouded in mystery (intentionally). What happened between Halo 5 and the present day is gradually discovered by the player as the conflict with the new faction, the Banished, escalates. The open world gameplay is incredibly fresh and in no way "ubisofty". It takes the exploration aspects Halo: Combat Evolved's second mission "Halo" and expands it on an epic scale. You won't be hunting animals, crafting equipment, or even obtaining side quests from characters. The story is told in a very linear way, while also allowing for free exploration at your own pace. The narrative is not hindered by this.

    The exploration is incredibly involved and organic as well. There are so many things you can encounter that's not marked on the map. Things from structures, artifacts, and conflicts. There's surprisingly so much to do. Halo Infinite has re-invented the Open World genre in a way that feels like a natural extension of its traditional shooter gameplay.

    Sin duda el mejor Halo desde Reach. La campaña, el gameplay, la musica, el multiplayer todo en este juego es espectacular. No le doy el 10 porque le falta el cooperativo y el forges.

    Honestly one of, if not the best Halo I've played. It has all the elements from the previous games and surpassed them! The vast open wonder of Halo CE, the character development from Halo 2, the epicness of Halo 3, the emotions and personal story of Halo 4, and the epic gameplay from Halo 5 and then some. Halo is freaking back, and I'm all for it.

    Amazing campaign and multiplayer with amazing gameplay, tackled a lot of issues with the previous games by 343 successfully although there are some complaints I have. First of all no split screen and secondly the unclear multiplayer live-service road map and lack of content. I hope this game finds better days ahead and is revived as the whole whole community is waiting for new content.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Halo Infinite is the sixth Installment in the mainline Halo Franchise, as it follows the Master Chief fighting the Banished for control of the Zeta Halo Ring.

    Multiplayer:
    The Multiplayer of Halo Infinite is excellent, and is possibly the best multi-player bar-none the series has seen in over a decade. The biggest positives would be the Weapon Balancing, (The AR Doesn't Suck now!) The excellent map design, the awesome equipment, the best mobility in a Halo game EVER, and the much bigger BTB that finally utilizes the entirety of Halo’s sandbox to its potential.

    However, there are some negatives. While the Gameplay is excellent, there is a surprising lack of content to the game, and no other progression system other than the battlepass. Not to mention that Customization is also locked behind paywall, but this I can understand due to the game being free. The biggest sin, however, are vehicles. I've had the Scorpion/Wraith only ONCE! And both times I was eliminated because the Vehicles in this game are made of Paper Mache. That's the biggest Issue plauguing this game as of now though, so that's good.

    Overall, the Multiplayer is an 8.8/10, and will become even better as time moves along.

    Campaign:
    The Campaign of Halo Infinite is hands-down the magnum opus of 343 industries, and easily a top 3 Halo Campaign. While at first I was skeptical of how the open world would be implemented, 343 knocked it out of the ballpark with the quantity, (And more importantly!) quality of the side missions of this game. Ranging from saving Marines, to sing said marines to take down Banished outposts, to Capturing FOB's and collecting audio logs (Which are much better than their Halo 5 Counterparts) the Gameplay of the Halo Infinite Has never been better.

    But does the story deliver the same justice?

    I have to say, somewhat. While H:I serves as a satisfying conclusion to the 343i trilogy, it simply doesn't keep with the direction Halo 5 set the story in. It seemingly abandons EVERY major character from the previous games, and only includes mere mentions of them in the audio logs. While the audio logs are very intriguing, the're simply not enough to sustain my curiosity and theorizing about Halos story.

    But, moving on to H:I actual story, it's not that bad. The major characters introduced were Fernando Ezparza, a Pelican Pilot, Esharoum, the leader of Banished forces on the ring, and the Weapon, designed to imprison and kill Cortana. Overall, the play between these characters are overall great, with lots of memorable moments between them all. The development of Chiefs humanity, however l, is possibly the best part of this story, as it directly correlates with the journey the Master Chief went on in Halo 4.

    Overall, I would say the Campaign of Halo Infinite is a 9.2/10.

    In conclusion, Halo Infinite is well worth its 60$ tag price, and will only get better with time. I give it a 9.0/10.

    I cannot give this game a 10/10 like I expected. The campaign is a solid 8.5/10. It has amazing level and enemies design, but the open world, although fun, is a little boring to traverse. The grapleshot is a fun tool to use, but I expected vehicles to be the best option for travelling.

    The multiplayer is the best of any shooter from the past decade. It's fun and I just can't stop playing it. What frustrates me is that 343i has done the impossible; they made a perfect multiplayer gameplaywise but botched the basics, being it playlists, progression and Battle Pass. The customization is really good, but way too grindy.

    Still, it's an amazing game and the best shooter since the DOOM reboot duology. DOOM Eternal has a better campaign than Halo Infinite, but Infinite's multiplayer is head and shoulders above any other FPS still being played. Not a perfect game, but an amazing one. I would rate it some 87/10, but since I can't, it's a fair 9/10 for me.

Ma è un peccato, dato che la nuova struttura aperta avrebbe reso molto più interessante affrontare il gioco in cooperativa. Avremo una scusa per ritornarci!

    343 industries ha lottato per guidare Halo nella giusta direzione sin dal lancio di Halo 4 nel 2012, lo studio è finalmente arrivato ad un ottimo equilibrio con Halo Infinite. Il gioco onora con successo l’eredità narrativa, mantiene l’amatissimo gunplay di Halo, ma senza la paura di aggiungere nuovi elementi. Nelle intenzioni dichiarate dagli sviluppatori Halo Infinite sarà supportato a lungo fino a dieci anni. Spero che non supportino solo la parte multigiocatore ma che continuino anche la campagna aggiungendo nuove missioni e trama perché se così fosse mi hanno già venduto tutte le future espansioni.

    Sono felice che dopo anni di travagliato sviluppo il prodotto finale funzioni e soprattutto sia bello da giocare perché la cosa più curata è il gameplay. Personalmente mi sono divertito tantissimo anche in solitaria. Diventare il potente “demone” che libera un pianeta dall’occupazione aliena salvando l’universo da… ok basta si sfocia nello spoiler. Scopritelo voi!

    Main campaign is alrigth but could have some improvements in lore/story standars.

    no flood :(

    needs scarabs for the vast battlefield which was a missed opportunity

    some weapons are straigth useless on multiplayer but every weapon is usable on campaign

    still, the enviorment is fun and grapple hook is amazing, i wish there were more stuff on the open world, but hopes for dlcs.

    So I just finished Halo Infinite's campaign, and I kinda loved it.

    There's a common sentiment going around right now regarding infinite, that it's "Not a perfect game, but a damn good one" and I have to agree.

    So I just finished Halo Infinite's campaign, and I kinda loved it.

    There's a common sentiment going around right now regarding infinite, that it's "Not a perfect game, but a damn good one" and I have to agree. Infinite is absolutely flawed and misses the mark on a few instances, but overall I left this game feeling pretty damn optimistic for Halo's future, which I haven't felt in... a while.

    The story of Infinite feels less like another chapter in the series and more like a new beginning for the series, which I think is for the best. 343i haven't been the best when handling legacy characters so I think it's best they bring in there own characters, and luckily they've gotten much better than Vale, remember Vale? Of course you don't. The new characters introduced here being, Echo-216, the pilot shown off in all the trailers, and The Weapon, an AI designed after Cortana. Both characters are fun and endlessly enjoyable to watch, their writing has come under scrutiny for being "one note", which is accurate, but I don't find it to be much of an issue here, I think their fun and given the games short length they don't really have time to get annoying, at least to me. Infinite's antagonist "Escharum" has also gotten quite a bit of flack for being very "Saturday morning cartoon" feeling, and again, yes I agree, but I think the game overall has that kind of feeling. A lot of what happens feels pretty superfluous, aside from the very end nothing of note happens, it's all about Chief, Weapon and the Pilot restoring Zeta Halo and clearing out the Banished, the UNSC aren't really involved aside from a few Marine NPC's and some recordings about some Spartans and Laskey. I don't think any of this is bad by the way, it's all very entertaining and fun, just not very impactful to the overall story. Speaking of superfluous.

    The open world sucks. Ok no it doesn't it's fine, but it's JUST fine. An open world Halo never really excited me in the first place, I like my Halo scripted, many great moments from the series ARE scripted: the Warthog run, the Scarab fights, Objective: Survive, but Infinite lacks these in favour of having you the player create your own set pieces, which is fine, just not what I come to Halo for. The open world is very Far Cry feeling, and no that's not a good thing. I have finished all the side objectives, every FOB, HVT and Outpost, none of them change, none of them are unique and none of them are very exciting save for the first of each because it's new... kinda. It's all very repetitive and not worth your time, you don't really get anything out of it, except for FOB's which unlock fast travel points and weapon drop off's, of which jarringly, do not include flying vehicles, if you want a Banshee you gotta go search for one yourself and they're not too common. Then there's the age old complaint about tediously moving from one objective to the other, it's boring, made slightly better by the grappling hook, due to more vertical movement and slightly faster traversal, but I'd still rather a linear mission-to-mission structure, and I hope 343 go back to that in the next game.

    Now for some small stuff: I think 343 have hit a perfect balance for Chief. Chief talks A LOT in Infinite, but it's all very to the point, typically short, few word sentences, only ever in response, not full paragraphs like in Halo 4 where he just didn't shut up. I like Chief a lot in Infinite, he feels like he's starting to open up more in his old age and I'm happy with that change. Hunters kinda sucked, I found it nigh-on impossible to get behind them, I just settled for attacking their knees, never had that issue before, just here. Ammo felt frustratingly low, ran out of ammo in both guns way more than any other Halo game, which can really screw you up in a tense fight with a Sword Elite.

    As for MP, I love it, it feels amazing. A MP hasn't gotten me so excited since... Halo 3, I think in terms of MP 343 have hit the nail dead on the head, it's perfect. I don't really care about customization, but it seems pretty bad and apparently the Challenges have caused a lot issue with people not trying to win games but just getting challenges done, so ya know... fix that. But the actual gameplay and the structure of online games, chefs kiss.

    I'm just really happy to have Halo back the way I remember. I think 343 have proven with Infinite, that they can change, they can improve, and most importantly, they can listen. For the first time in forever, I'm happy about where Halo is and I'm excited and positive about its future. I don't know when Halo will end, but when it does, I'm sure 343 will send it out with a bang.

The story was emotional and really pays off for players who have played all of the games before this one because there are literally callbacks to EVERY Halo game; from easter eggs to pivotal plot points. You actually see what Guardians are capable of, and you get an explanation visually of what happened from Halo 5 to the beginning of Infinite, to where Infinite picks up 6 months after the beginning. Boss fights seem a little unfair, but they're beatable, and I played on normal difficulty, but it seemed harder than most other normal difficulties I've played. Probably a second normal playthrough I'll be able to tackle heroic difficulty. I do think that Halo Infinite falls for a few issues other open-world games fall for. Difficulty varies, and your fun factor will change from the direction you choose to attack locations. Also, some enemies feel too bullet-spongy. With the story, you might get a little lost at the beginning, but everything is explained in the last third of the story.

    On the multiplayer side, it's a mixed bag. Regarding gameplay, solid. Very solid, no issues. Weapons are a mixed bag. Most alien weapons are weak, excluding the sentinal beam, needler, skewer, and mauler. Don't use any other alien weapon. The plasma pistol was nerfed, and there are not enough variety of weapons. Wished there were so much more. Vehicles feel off. There more...unhandy than before. Instead of vehicles having weird physics being a feature, this is more of a problem. The maps are very good. Customization looks cool, but because of how the progression system works, you might as well not bother customizing your spartan without paying loads of money.

    The campaign is a must-play, and the multiplayer is something you might like. I like it, and I'm not much of a multiplayer guy.

    Halo Infinite tries going back to their roots and adding some new mixtures to the formula and from the get go, i was having fun with Halo.

    The gamplay loop feels really good and all the new abilities ties in very nicely with combat.

    Once you get to the explorable part of the ring, most of it gave me throwback memories of the second mission i Halo CE. you find and rescue marines, battle along side them and take objevtives. That feeling of exploring a ring world with new mysteries is quite profound in Infinte.

    Graphics are serviceable and looks decent, NOT next gen but look fine overall.

    The storytelling and story in general isnt bad but i do think 343 dont do a terrific job of explaining who some the charcaters are and what theyre significance are in the Halo lore. My two main gripes with the story are Atriox (only in the beginning) and the fall of the UNSC infinity.

    The banter between the "weapon" and Chief is EXCELLENT and the memory cutscenes of cortana and others are really good and provide alliot of context to what is going on and why.

    Campaign may feel short and doesnet really have any setpiece battles but this game in general is step in the right direction over Halo 5 and if 343 can emphasize the gameplay into bigger and bolder battles, the sky is the limit.

    NEGATIVE: No Co-op or firefight mode on launch.....

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had heard a lot of good things about this, and I was not disappointed. Between the grappling hook (and some other gadgets) and the more open world aspect of the game, this is definitely a step in the right direction for the series. There were only 2 things that kept it from being a 10; some of the bosses are extremely difficult, to the point I almost gave up on the game a couple times; and toward to end of the game you do a mission that makes it so you can't do any more of the side missions until you beat the game, but it doesn't give you any warning of that fact. Overall an excellent entry to the series. Expand

    The foundation of Halo Infinite is phenomenal. Weapon balance is very nicely tuned, with some minor tweaks required. Gunplay is fantastic. Movement feels comfortable. It's what most of us expected Halo 4 to feel like. A true evolution of the Halo formula.

    The foundation of Halo Infinite is phenomenal. Weapon balance is very nicely tuned, with some minor tweaks required. Gunplay is fantastic. Movement feels comfortable. It's what most of us expected Halo 4 to feel like. A true evolution of the Halo formula.
    Now, there's a fair bit of issues, though they are not inherent problems with the game's foundation, like Battlefield 2042's or Call of Duty: Vanguard's. It's the little things 343 is getting wrong. Terrible monetization, and at launch, there's not a whole lot of maps and modes. The silver lining is that 343 also listens to the playerbase, so changes the community wants can absolutely be lobbied for.

    The Campaign, to save spoilers, is wonderful. NPC dialogue is easily the best in the series. Even without the IWHBYD skull, the enemy relentlessly heckles you. And the Marines you pick up treat the Banished in kind. Fixing the issues of 343's past Halo installments, ammunition is plentiful. Not obnoxiously abundant, but it allows you to commit to a favored weapon quite often, so you can play the whole campaign with really any weapon of your choice. The physics and new abilities are so much fun. It creates a whole new level of mastery.
    As this game continues to evolve and grow, I hope we can expect more like this, but with the little things gotten right this time around. Here's to 10 fruitful years of Infinite!

    Es buen juego, tiene esa escencia que te envuelve para seguir jugandolo, en parte te llena de nostalgia por que te hace recordar algunas cosas de las anteriores entregas, pero es espectacular volver a jugar un halo con esa escencia de antes.

Unlike in halo's 4 and 5 the enemies actually behave like halo enemies and the game is very polished with solid graphics and very few bugs.

The open world is also very addictive with plenty of filler content. However despite the positives it is still a game with many problems and as a result the game feels like it could have been a lot better. First of all on higher difficulties the boss fights are awful. One hit kills on legendary, no way of dodging attacks and bullet sponge health bars all result in frustrating encounters. The environment variety is also not good enough. The interiors are all the same and the open world always looks the same. Not good enough for a halo title. The story whilst not as bad as halo 5's insulting garbage story is very bare bones and only really picks up towards the end. The villains are disappointing and generally uninteresting as most of the time they only appear in holograms. The endless are massively underdevoped and not all that threatening either. The weapon and the pilot are decent characters but not exceptional. The cutscenes are also underwhelming. Some of the ones later in the game are quite good but they are generally lacking compared to the cutscenes in the bungie games or even halo 4 to some extent. The opening cutscene for example could have so great but it ended up being just average with an underwhelming fight scene and a massive ship being blown up off screen which would have been awesome if actually shown to us. The music is definitely better than the last two halo games however most of the best tracks are remakes of older music from older games and for the most part the newer tracks in the game are fairly forgettable. It also annoys me that i cannot create large squads of marines because the ones you rescue never show up at the fob's and always despawn. The game also launched without co-op which is not good.
    Overall the game feels and plays like a halo game and is far better than halo's 4 and 5. However it could have been so much better and infinite has a lot of problems that need to be addressed of changed in the upcoming DLC's/expansions.

    The amount of hype and expectations put on Halo is bound to make some people disappointed, but I'll look at Infinite for what it is, not for what it isn't. (Campaign focus)

    The campaign is great. Not up to the heights of say, Halo 3, but easily 343's best outing. It's fun. That's what matters. The polish is here as well, I didn't run into any bugs, glitches, or crashes, which in 2021,

    The story is solid as well. It's a much more human/character based story, not as much about epic spectacles (though there are a few here and there.) I get some people might be put off by the new Cortana, but I didn't mind any of the new characters, and the Chief is as stoic, taciturn, and badass as usual.

    The gameplay loop with the addition of the grapple hook is the best point by far. Everything else aside, the game feels fun moment to moment. The frenetic nature of anything being able to happen in tandem with the amazing AI makes for amazing moments that only Halo offers. No two playthroughs will be the same and that amount of variety brings a lot of value to the already excellent value of getting the game on gamepass.

    The open world is not the most amazing thing ever, but it's definitely not bad either. It's serviceable. Especially as you unlock more vehicles and weapons it becomes more fun to traverse. People complaining about only "1 or 2" biomes are vastly overstating its impact. I barely noticed or cared, though it would have been cool to have more variety.

    Some cons: No massive spectacles, lack of co-op does hurt it.

    Overall, it's not perfect, but it absolutely is a good game that is fun to play. If you are into comparing it to Bungie Halo, I'd say it's above ODST but below 1-3 and Reach. So, 5th best.

    Best FPS I've played since Doom Eternal. Most enjoyable open-world FPS since Far Cry 3. Perfectly reinvigorated the franchise after lack luster entries with Halo 4 and Halo 5. While Echo 216 was a bit irritating, the relationship between Master Chief and Weapon was very well done. I hope we get single player story DLC - maybe another section or two of the ring to explore.

Becoming better at halo and learning how to play the game better is much more rewarding than your other FPS games, if you have put halo down in the last year then now is the time to return and dip your toe again.

    Muy bueno, sin molestos bugs y bien optimizado. Este juego no contiene cosas woke, es por eso que me encanta- Nada de propaganda progre. La historia es buena y el modo multijugador está bien balanceado, las armas tienen excelente sonido y son innovadoras. 9/10 le pondría 10/10 sino fuera por la variadad de mundos, al ser open World se repito mucho.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is amazing, best gameplay ever in a Halo game. Multiplayer is lots of fun, and super addicting. The Campaign had a great story with the best visuals the series has to showcase. The new control mechanics with the grappling hook are a total game changer, from dodging enemies to climbing mountains it really speeds up the gameplay.
    The online multiplayer needs work, I find myself getting kicked from lobbies after games often, and then I'm forced to shut the game down and re-start to find a match. That's my only complaint with this amazing game.

    Really enjoyed the MP with my friends, too bad 343 don't deliver all in the same time, but I guess it's the problem of free service.
    Then the solo is really awesome, side quest aren't boring, u won't repeat everytime the same pattern because this is Halo !

    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]
