    Why is this not a 8 or 9? UI the ui for this game sucks. The playlist system for this game sucks. my friend and I want to play capture the flag, Can I? No I have to queue for a playlist that has a 20% chance that has a capture the flag and if I dont get it then im wasting my time. Multiplayer asside, Campaign is pretty good.

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

    Sadly, the campaign is a massive let-down. I'm used to flagship exclusives being perfectly polished and feeling like a finished game. I'm sorry to say, but Infinite's campaign doesn't feel finished. There is nothing breathtaking about the graphics, they are pretty poor for a next gen flagship supposed system seller. The campaign is very short, and you are basically doing the same thing over and over again. The side missions can be pretty fun once you have unlocked all the vehicles from the FOB bases.

    The game is unfinished, you can tell it's not the vision 343 originally were aiming for. No co-op, No different biomes. It's just a boring looking game. I think covid stunted the development of this game, and it's been rushed out.

    I experienced multiple 5second freezes throughout the campaign. Also, another gripe I have with the game is the lack of environmental destruction. Driving a scorpion tank, and it gets stuck on a tiny tree stump, or it can't even bump up a ledge of a pond. If you are in a vehicle, you might as well just stick to the roads, and driving off-road is just a frustrating experience. They should have made the trees destroyable at least.

    I'm hoping they are developing more single player content and eventually finish it. Once that's done, it will be an incredible game.

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

    It has a good story line and cool weapons, but the map is literally metal flying buildings, and grassy mountains covered in banished. Also this game feels not very next gen. I am playing it on a series X, and I think the graphics and controls are last gen.

    They don't describe the game in depth ... the game is very good yes ... but it has big problems that people don't mention!

    The campaign is very entertaining, but it has other problems, it becomes very repetitive, we do not have different biomes, we cannot select the missions, and we can't change the difficulty before starting a mission since everything is connected. No coop of course. (Right now isn't here)

    The art style and the story are good! But also the campaign also feels like there's a lot missing, and you need to listen to audio logs... the audio logs are good idea, but a better idea could had been to play those moments instead of only listening to them.

    And now MULTIPLAYER... It's okay... but it's usually really bad because of balancing issues, questionable decisions and cheating.
    Melee is broken (somethimes it works, sometimes let's you punch someone that isn't close to you), some weapons are too good and other are too weak, then the MAPS, most of them are bad when we talk about close quarters, always somebody can flank you in any small map.
    The enemy sensor is almos useless, since you can sprint, graple, use the thruster and attack you from far with the broken melee and some close quarters weapons that can be used at mid range... so almost always you can get jumped and get suprised.
    Now finally the progression and monetary stuff is still bad... it was worse, but they made it a bit better.
    I mean I can carry on with so much stuff, but I'll leave it here.

    I'm also running into some server connection problems... and it's not about my internet or the console. (because this happens also to the people that I play with)

    And I feel generous with a 6 but all the negatives that could be fixed so easily makes me not give it a 7 or 8... I played Halo since the original Xbox, so I know what I talk about, since I played ALL Halos in all difficulties, and all multiplayers!

The only one I did was battlefield 2042 because it absolutely deserved the criticism. 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. The multiplayer, however, I lower to a 6 out of 10, you will have some fun for a little while but then the content becomes dry and theres no reason to come back.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Missed opportunity, it was good but was so close to being amazing that it was disappointing they didn't add the few features needed. Marines driving vehicles and helping you in missions (not just the open world), this basic feature would have made the game so much better. The Covenant, The Ark, Silent Cartographer, some of the best missions in the Halo franchise have you pushing objectives backed by groups of Marines or Elites etc, and it was amazing and memorable. The mission foundations were there (no spoilers though) but no marines to help.

    But it wasn't just random NPCs that weren't present; Arbiter, Spirit of Fire, Locke, Lasky, any Spartan IV minus a brief cameo from Griffin, there were no legacy characters in this campaign at launch, Even Atriox wasn't in the damn thing except the intro!

    Backstory the game, 50% of missions were flashbacks to the loss of Infinity, Cortana and Atriox, all of which happened before the campaign even started and we go to experience through "data echos" that didn't follow you if you didn't want to stand around and watch.

    "The Endless" - Snooze. Stop introducing these forgettable enemies, you got it right with Atriox, no need to add whatever these were meant to be.

    This game can be enjoyable, but there is so much holding it back from comparing the the originals.

    I realise I have ranted so let me just list some things they got right:

    - Music, using a lot of the original stuff felt really good
    - Enemies, the banished are great and the grunts are hilarious again (jackels suck though, they're just vorcha from ME)

Copy-paste spruce trees everywhere (literally, you can see there's just a couple templates that's been replicated). Basically just a single biome with little variation is a major disappointment, considering cool different environments have made the Halo campaigns so great in the past.

    The campaign missions are boring, repetitive. Endless forerunner corridors. At some point I just wanted to run it to the end to just get it over with. It's riddled with bugs on Xbox Series X. Freezing (fortunately, no crashing thought), checkpoints not registering, stuttering music on the "epic" moments..

    Many on social media have pointed out how funny the marines are, behaving like idiots. To me, it's just another indication that despite the 6+1 years (?) of development, it still feels rushed, unfinished. And don't get me even started with the multiplayer.

    I'd say the graphics are average at the best. Doesn't really look like next gen to me. In comparison, if you look at the environment e.g. of few year old Red Dead Redemption 2, it's miles ahead in everything.

    I guess they really tried. The story and general feel makes it a great Halo game, they succeeded in that better than in Halo 5. But it's far from a polished game and it's a shame as this could have been so much better. I think they should have focused purely on Series X/PC version instead of wasting resources to make it play on prev gen consoles. I hope they will address some of the issues in the future.

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 fact you get stuck in the last 4(or 5?) missions without being able to return to the open world, eugh!

    You got some things right and alot of things wrong. Most of which can be easily fixed with updates but others that are just an annoying part of the game.
    Probably won't return to play it after completing now which is disappointing as halo is and always has been my jam!    … Expand

I always get excited when a new Halo game comes out because it's Halo c'mon! However, after the disappointment that Halo 4 and 5 were, I crossed all of my finger's that Infinite would get it right. 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

    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

    This has absolutely no business being an 8.5/10 and is clearly boosted by Halo fanboys and paid ratings.

    The open world setting is forced and tedious. It can be fun at times but it artificially extends the hours played.

    The open world setting is forced and tedious. It can be fun at times but it artificially extends the hours played. The way you need to find audio logs for story is annoying, but not quite as bad as Destiny.

    My gripe is the last quarter of the game. Two back to back boss fights, one so poorly hidden I (and many others) thought the game was glitched. To trigger one of the last 3 boss fights you need to activate a VERY easy to miss hologram which is the size of a quarter on the ground. That boss fight is yet another invisible enemy which is NOT FUN. There is nothing fun about fighting an enemy you literally cannot see. Then the second last boss fight is annoying and tedious. All the bosses are bullet sponges with no original mechanics.

    What gives with the random area defence at the end? It makes no sense and is completely forced. Why are we armed to the teeth by our enemies but some of the brutes have no weapons? And why are the brutes without weapons harder to kill than brutes with weapons?

    Why are snipers so deadly and so easily able to get off accurate shots so fast? I'm on normal and can get sniped instantly.

    Also what gives with the frequent Hunter enemies? These are easily some of the most annoying enemies in the game series. In the OG Halo games they were very infrequent and designed as mini boss fights but there are too many of them in this game.

    So many of the weapons are underpowered as well and burn through ammo like nothing. Many of the weapons aren't even worth using.

    This is easily one of the worst gameplay options in the series. I've never rage quit so many times during campaign. I'm playing easy because I want the story, not because I want to die 450 times per mission.

    Multiplayer admittedly is good, but campaign is awful and so broken up that the story is dumb and makes no sense. I defended the last entry but wow this was bad. Not a console seller.    … Expand

    - 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.

    Halo Infinite's campaign seems like a sequel to a game we never got, with 343 Industries opting to ride the fence between sequel to Halo 5: Guardians and reboot, making for a jarringly disconnected experience that never really seems to pick up or go anywhere interesting.

The open world is reminiscent of a Far Cry title, proving a mildly interesting distraction that stops being so rather quickly. The grappling hook, being pushed as the game's staple ability, is fun and satisfying to use, leading to some intense flanks and getaways that wouldn't be possible in previous titles. However, it seems as if the enemy AI doesn't quite know how to counter it effectively, enabling you to simply fly past large swaths of enemies with barely a scratch to show for it. Boss fights, which return from Halo 2, either seem too easy or punishingly hard, with 343 unable to find that golden balance. And of course, I can't forget to mention the egregious omission of co-op at launch, making players wait at least another half year before it will finally be patched in. Perhaps the promised future DLC stories will prove more engaging, but personally, I believe that the vanilla campaign is a rather mediocre experience overall, and not intriguing enough to warrant subsequent playthroughs, let alone the $60 USD asking price. If you feel obligated to play it, however, I'd say it is worth the $9.99 Game Pass asking price on your platform of choice.

    On the multiplayer side, things are a bit of a mess at the moment. While the return to boots-on-the-ground arena-focused gameplay is a welcome one, the initial release of content is shockingly sparce for a game that was in development for six years. Several playlists that were absent from the game at launch, such as Slayer and SWAT (now being referred to as "Tactical Slayer"), are set to be added tomorrow at the time of this review, but only after mass user outcry on social media and repeated botched communication from 343 Industries. Other issues, such as the horrific monetization practices, a very lackluster customization system, and lack of a primary progression system are significantly worse than any previous entry in the franchise and are unlikely to be fixed any sooner than a year or longer at the very least. Other systems, such as Theater and the UI as a whole, are very poorly implemented and confusing to navigate, with Theater frequently malfunctioning or being unable to play previous films entirely. Forge, introduced in 2007's Halo 3, is yet another mode that was cut from the game, and is being targeted for Q3 2022 at the earliest, which is approaching nearly an entire year after release. Once again, overall the entire experience feels half-baked and poorly planned despite the lengthy development period and undoubtedly large budget allotted by publisher Microsoft.

    I would not recommend Halo Infinite at this time, as it seems like a game that requires at least a year or two of patching to become a fully-featured product, much like DICE's Battlefront II some years prior. Unfortunately, it seems that 343 Industries is still incapable at providing a solid day one experience, even after a decade of working on the Halo franchise. Perhaps one day Halo Infinite will be worthy of the hundreds and even thousands of hours that have been put into its predecessors, but until that time comes, stay far away.    … Expand

    Just jumping back into the series. I was ranked in the top 100 players of Halo 2 and shotty snipers and fell out of love with the series because of four and five I'm happy to say that this iteration of Halo goes back to its roots especially in the multiplayer I'm about 3 hours into the campaign and I'm enjoying it

    Me ha gustado lo dinámico que es halo Infinity, soy fan de halo 1 y halo 2, hasta.hago speed run con ellos, pero halo Infinity es muy adictivo. Explorar todo es muy divertido, además todos los diálogos tanto aliados como villanos es muy variado, es divertido y tierno a veces escuchar. Me encantó

    I didn't like the campaign or story. I've had high expectation for this game. Halo feel so stale and outdated now. The multiplayer is great though. Just another mediocre Halo game. I Wish Bungie would come back and save this franchise

    The core gameplay in the multiplayer is good, however due to a lack of server selection features, players outside of the US including myself are getting 150-200 ping on a regular basis. I haven't had a single ranked game below 120 ping (South East Asian servers), and its often well above 150. This is unacceptable, and makes the game almost unplayable and definitely not fun at all.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Campaign is fun to play with great gameplay and enemies. The open world is beautiful and has many enjoyable activities and some story moments connected with me. However the lack of variety in environments and objectives as well as repetitive missions and a lack of amazing set pieces that you would remember, hurts it alot. The story is not good, I like Chief and the pilot and their interactions and personal moments, but the weapon is annoying and the villains are poorly written and uninteresting, you don't even fight the guy who beat you at the start. The story also does a terrible job at closing off the story set up in Halo 5 and fails to explain what happened to various established characters, and important moments happen off-screen. The new story they set up isn't that interesting or compelling either. On the multiplayer side, the great gameplay carries on, buy everything else sucks. Many weapons feel useless in PvP and you mainly stick with the starting weapons. There are only 10 maps and they are getting very repetitive to play. The lack of modes further hurts the multiplayers replay value and matchmaking is terrible, forcing me into matches in progress when we are already losing and it's most likely bloody oddball if doing quick play. Customisation is deep and houses many options, however you can use it because most of the cool items are behind a pay wall either in the shop or in the battlepass. Progression is atrocious, with unsatisfying challenges forcing you to play in a way that you don't want to and there is no sperate leveling system, it all ties to the battle pass tier you are on. All this leads to no hame feeling like it matters as you don't get xp for your performance. The terrible progression cripples the longevity of this multiplayer and really need s to be fixed.

    Overall, Halo infinite can be fun, mainly in the campaign but it feels extremely unfinished and corporatized, leading to it being one of the weaker Halo games.    … 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]
