I dread to think what the game would've been like if they had gone ahead with the massive map they'd initially intended.    … Expand

    Halo Infinite is easily the best Halo game since Halo Reach and one of the best the franchise has to offer. The Master Chief continues to develop further as a character behind the armor, and new characters worked greatly in this campaign, proving to nearly all be very interesting characters.

The Banished might be the best faction Halo has introduced yet, maybe a hot take but I think they might get there eventually. The multiplayer feels like the most fun I've had on a Halo multiplayer in decades. The core gameplay is absolutely fantastic. Obviously, the shop can be fixed and a few more game modes need to be added, but 343 has already stated they are working on both of these. The game is already very good, give it another month or two and this game should very well be a titan of the Halo franchise. This is exactly what Halo needed after Halo 5. Halo is back, and this is an amazing new step for the franchise.… Expand

    Halo 1 on Xbox 1 had more fluid respawn behavior, here you have a loading screen in between. You even have a loading screen between the underground to the open world area. Remember Halo 1 on Xbox 1? The loading times there were smooth and only a fraction of a second. Dual-weaponing is missing here. Aim assist is too invasive.
    Cheap animations on gameplay. Guys try this, look down to see your boots, and turn left and right and look at the lowerbody being detached from the upper body. Cheap movement animation, as if you would glide. Running does not make you much faster and adds weird lines for a pseudo speed feeling, which also often point to the wrong direction. Flying ships seem to follow invisible rails instead of levitating.
    Cortana replacement is trying to be funny and trying to show some sort of feeling, which does not fit into her role. I've just reached the open world surface an forced me through some mobs, and when I think of having to go through a Ubisoft kind of gameplay, and after I saw the game quality already, I can only say no thanks, I dont have the time for this outdated and unpolished gameplay.
    Cutscenes were good until now, but the gameplay is just a massive downgrade even compared to Halo 1. Halo triology from Bungie remains the best.    … 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 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.

    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

A nivel técnico sin llegar a ser un juego sobresaliente, ofrece buenos gráficos con un desempeño con mas que excelente. El apartado sonoro también es un bueno y te hará sumergirte en la batalla. Lo que más me gustó de este Halo es que se siente vuelve a sus raíces dándole una vuelta de tuerca a la formula con adición del mundo abierto, del gancho y otros artefactos, sin mencionar que se recupera ese aire de misticismo que rodea el lore de la saga. La historia sin ser nada del otro mundo si aporta al desarrollo de este universo, se siente intrigante, creíble y relevante, ya estoy ansioso por saber como continuaran las aventuras de John 117, es un juego que recomiendo mucho tanto a veteranos de la saga como a novatos. Consejo final, juéguenlo en dificultad heroica desde el comienzo lo van a disfrutar más.… Expand

    Was expecting more than a go wide and enter an blue (or gray), copy paste installation game, the physics is more downgraded as halo 5, no different scenarios like halo 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 (winter, desert, stormy), bad use of ray-tracing, this game won't push a next-gen basis, and optimizations? The need of dx12 features cause its 30fs locked on one s, just hype

    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.

    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 best aspect of this game is gameplay, so addictive and fun. Music is way better the Halo 4,5 and halo wars 2 but not is good as the original.

    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.

    The best game in the series since Halo 3. Although Halo Reach could be debatably better, in my opinion I think it earns it’s place in the conversation with the original trilogy and has successfully evolved halo. It is an amazing entry in the franchise and a great place to build off of.

Halo Infinites campaign is lacking creativity and vision, two things that made the original Halo games so outstanding. Halo Infinite's open world feels lackluster, kind of empty. In linear Halo games the action was more dense, the creators created worlds and coherent experiences within the campaign, each level was different from the other (ok, not always) and you constantly wondered about what might come next. But here you have already seen everything a few seconds after you enter the open world. There is only one biome (with only ONE single tree design) and no interesting locations to go to.
    The story is almost only told via dialogues between "the weapon" and masterchief and some "voices" from cortana. There is nothing really exciting going on, you only walk through the same looking (but still beautiful designed) locations over and over again while the „the weapon“ or Cortana are talking, that's basically it. Even Halo Combat Evolved - with its repetitive misson design in some levels - had way more variety than Infinite.
    I'm not sure what to think about the open world. Sure it's fun to wonder around and explore hidden items, but it gets stale quick when you realise there is not much to it.
    This game relies way too much on its gameplay. Don't get me wrong, the gameplay is fantastic, its the typical high quality Halo gameplay we all love, but as much as i love mac and cheese, i don't want to eat it always and every day, i need some variety. Halo Infinite missed the chance to introduce new enemies (the skimmers don't count, they resemble the old drones way too much), whole enemy races and even new vehicles. We fought grunts, elites, jackals and brutes for almost 20 years now, and as much as i still like to fight them, it gets old only doing that throughout the whole game without any alternation. Maybe 343 got cautious after they realised the prometheans weren't that popular. But that should not mean not to try again, not to try something else. There are so many great enemy designs out there.
    No Coop is also very, very disappointing. I think the open world design is to blame here. The creators couldn't figure out how to implement coop here.
    The multiplayer is fun but lacks in maps and game modes. Also i'm not a big fan of the battlepass, i hated that system already in games like Rocket League. The shop prices in Infinite are ridiculous and i won't spend a single cent as long as they remain that high, not much more to say about that.
    Oh, and please fix Big Team Battle! It's almost impossible to get into a game with more than 4 players in your team because the servers can't handle it.
    All in all, in this current state i give Halo Infinite 6 out of 10. Sadly, a huge opportunity wasted. My hope is that this game gets better with time, but i wouldn't bet on it.    … Expand

There are a few things holding it back, mainly in some story or sequences that could have been included but felt left out or rushed. As for Multiplayer, it doesn't quite feel like the mostly complete experience we are used to from launch until today's date. As a long-time player in the Halo franchise I feel I am missing out on some game modes which I know will make their return soon or be rotated in. This is something I feel most Halo fans are used to over the life of the game, but it is still a little thin even by that standard. I think this is what holds the game back from a higher score than a 9. With all of that said, the game plays and feels amazing and is also a ton of fun for what we do have at the present.… Expand

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

The new Cortana/not Cortana can get irritating at times. The combat starts to run out of interesting things to do and execute toward the end and feels very similar, including the fight with the Brute leaders with one shot hammers. While I completed the game, I think it would be good to revisit the checkpoints, especially the final boss. That would keep the game from overstaying it's welcome. I know most people are here for the PvP but I play just the campaign.

    I will say that I believe this was pulled out from the ashes single handedly by the leadership of Joseph Staten - and who could have made Destiny amazing along with Marty O'Donnell, both of whom left ostensibly due to creative differences with other Bungie long time members. I hope Joe continues to work with 343 and other Microsoft studios as his writing and direction is top notch.

    The premise, once again, is a lone Master Chief floating in space, being picked up by an Antonio Banderas-type lone surviving the latest onslaught of the Aliens vs. Humanty UNSC pilot - who Master Chief will find out more about during the story, and again with the typical non-talking attitude most seem to love about the almost silent Hero of Halo. At the outset, it doesn't look too good for UNSC and the rest of Humanity. They seem devastated by the latest attack of the "Banished" on Earth and the defending forces.

    With that premise, Master Chief and the lone pilot team up, unwillingly on the Pilot's side, to disover they're near a Halo Ring named "ZETA".

    Of course, no Halo can begin without a huge Warship being brought done by Master Chief himself on his lonesome, so that's how we do it again, crashing on the Zeta Halo as a result.

    On there, we find ourselves in an open-world type situation where Master Chief can roam freely after doing some initial missions, and then to discover that potentially a Rogue AI that he might know very well and which since their last meeting has kind of went insane is still around. Master Chief was originally tasked with "deleting" Cortana, said Rogue AI, but has catastrophically failed to do this at the end of the Halo 5 story arch.

    Being provided with a new "Set to Kill Cortana" deletion routine, which miraculously looks like her target as a hologram (and has the same one-size-fits-all-AI voice acting) they set out on the lone and partially deactivated and destroyed Zeta Halo to find out what's going on.

    Not only is the Halo on the brink of being active again - and that is never a good thing with Halo Rings, as the avid player should know - but it's also swarming with "Banished", a ragtag team-up of the Aliens who originally set out to to kill humanity for what seems like Religious reasons - always a great reason to start a war, really!

    Is the open world any good? It depends on what you like about Halo. If you like killing all sorts of Aliens with different kinds of Weapons while roaming on a "free" scenario instead of following invisible tunnels while doing it? Then this is your kind of Halo!

    Do you like teaming up with dumbass AI Marines you have to "free" from being captured by the Aliens strewn about the Halo Ring in different locations, and the more you free, the more will be roaming around, trying to help you reclaim the Halo and prevent it from being fired?

    Well, I'm glad to say, this is your Halo!

    If you, like me, however care about Weapon Balance, a semblance of a coherent story, smart AI colleagues that do not get frequently crushed by Warthogs you call in at various bases by running right below the area they're being dropped on to... I am sad to say you will not like that Halo experience. As that is exactly what you're getting.

    A loosely clobbered together Halo on an open-world Setting that you can traverse within 5 Minutes or so on an aircraft - which you will unlock very late in the endgame to help you reach those far-out places where the legendary Skulls are hidding which help you unlock even more hardcore settings to make the game harder.

    Talking about hard: the enemy AI is not that smart, but it's as usually balanced out by kicking things up a notch. I got the distinct feeling that the "normal" setting is the new "hard" in this iteration of Halo. And I finished all of them on Legendary difficulty.

    Some of the patterns of attack just are there to annoy you and make the game frustrating, like the snipers being perched kind of everywhere, and with rifles that will disable your aircraft in mid-flight... not sure making a single player/coop game frustrating is the way to go, 343 Industries.

    Oh, and a fair word of warning at the end:
    There are small and bigger bugs aplenty in this one from the get-go and no patches in sight (December, 2021)... like "Speed Lines" options you disable but which don't stick and you have to disable them again and again when you restart...

    If you're an old-school Halo player like me, you'll get your 10 hours of enjoyment out of it, but in my case I have to say: begrudgingly so!    … Expand

    A nivel argumental es interesante, te atrapa, te mantiene al tanto de sus detalles y te deja con dudas, pero esas mismas te las responde con forme vas avanzando, puede tener sus errores sobre todo para los nuevos o los que nuca jugaron Halo Wars 2 respecto a los Desterrados en su introducción, aún así es hermoso como maneja la nueva trama que tiene Master Chief con Weapon como la relación que tienen con Cortana y él mismo sabe lo que es. Incluso por primera vez que te dejen a libertad moverte por cierta zona de Zeta Halo sin importar que completes objetivos secundarios mientras tienes las misiones principales de por medio es sublime, no se siente como un Far Cry donde a veces estabas obligado a completar ciertas misiones secundarias para seguir con la trama principal, incluso poder seguir jugando tras completar la historia para ver las hermosas vistas, conseguir registros de voz, núcleos Spartan o dar por finalizado todo lo pendiente, me parece un nuevo método ingenioso y muy bien elaborado para disfrutar el juego por más horas fuera del Multijugador.

    A nivel muy personal y nostálgico puedo decir que es hermoso no tiene comparación con entregas posteriores de 343, lo disfrutas, te diviertes, tienes toda una gama de métodos para atacar enemigos desde patrullas, misiones secundarias y las partes de las misiones principales, te la pasas genial jugando y se siente como para volver a jugarlo desde 0 pero con mayor dificultad con o sin cráneos.

    A nivel técnico me sorprendió bastante y mucho, no lo digo porque pueda estar roto o desbalanceado con algunas armas o tenga errores ya que en mi caso sólo una vez dejo de funcionar y se cerro, pero tan sólo en descarga tenga una valoración de 16-30 GB sin el multijugador, me llamo la atención con creces, ya que son 20 o más de esas 20 horas de juego incluyendo todo por explorar, el nivel de detalle que maneja es como para quedarse a observar los paisajes de Zeta Halo y escuchar su ambientación, el ver como pasan las 24 horas desde el anochecer hasta el amanecer es increíble, por ello siento que lograron su cometido de superar mis expectativas con un basto mapa con físicas, ambientación y belleza en tan solo 16-30 Gb.

    Con esto quiero finalizar y decir que es completamente sublime, bello, hermoso e incomparable con Halo 4 y 5, hasta la fecha mi Halo favorito a la par de Halo 3.    … Expand

In terms of multiplayer, the only thing that is holding it back, in my opinion, is it's introduction of a battle pass system. Every game as of late has implemented a battle pass system, and frankly I find it to be quite annoying, especially looking at how enjoyable unlocks were in Halo Reach. Other than that, there have been issues with Big Team Battle, which hopefully will be solved soon. Now for the campaign, I deeply enjoy the idea of Infinite being an open world game. However, it is filled with repetitive tropes spawning from games like Far Cry, where there are copy and pasted outposts. Yet, the gameplay is so addicting that I believe this game deserves a pass, and the introduction of an open word in Halo marks a bright future for Halo games, if they decide to continue pursuing open world.… Expand

    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.    … Expand

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.    … Expand

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]
