    Excellent game, the open world really adds to the experience. Gunplay is good and story is fine.

    It took far too long for Halo Infinite to get to its current state, but now it is a great addition to the franchise.

There are far too few conclusions to story threads started in Halo 4 and Halo 5. Despite this, the open world and gameplay make the campaign worth playing.
    In multiplayer is where Infinite currently shines. The gameplay feels tight and responsive, the weapon variety is satisfactory, and there are nos numerous playlists to switch between. As a "live service" game, 343 failed miserably. Yet as with the Halo MCC, over time Infinite has become a game worth your time.    … Expand

    I played this for a while as my introduction into Halo, However, after playing some of the older titles notably Halo 3 I noticed that Halo infinite is just inferior to some of the older Halos.

    From an absolutely compelling story centered on strategy and longevity, if you can show restrain from running through the campaign you will be rewarded with side missions, and other activities that are each unique and story compelling. As you navigate the newest ring, you'll find that gameplay is overall smooth(I even had it on my turd of a console -A day one Xbox One X- rather than a Series X) and with the fresh new set of abilities for Chief to master. You'll find these new gadgets suited to assist you in synergy with the others constantly throughout the campaign.

    The addition of mini-bosses, and end of level bosses adds a personal touch to each segment of the game as you feel rewarded for persevering through to exhaust the seemingly infinite foe in front of you. Adding further to the each new game will be unique aspect, as you climb further up the difficulty list that end mission boss fight feels that much sweeter after ripping through hordes of mixed and intelligent enemies.

    And for the enemies themselves the new and returning enemies we have come to know have been kicked up q notch with voice acting for each and every type of enemy and ally in the game. Creating scenario specific dialog you may not get without a little creativity, further adding to its campaign replayablitiy.

    The finest Halo i have personally seen since I overused my poor Halo Reach copy so many years ago. With faith restored in 343 to make a great and compelling game I look forward to years of advancement on Halo Infinite and its inevitable and expected sequel. Strap in Spartans this one will live on for a while.    … Expand

    Gameplay is really good. You kill the enemies very different in the open world. Sandbox part is really powerful. but in story mode most of the time you are seeing metal corridors and halls. You are seeing same kind of missions back to back.

    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.

    It sadly was missing some key ingredients to make a player feel full. A large number of issues have been resolved, but the bitter taste of disappointment lingers and makes returning to this course hard to swallow.    … Expand

    If the open-world concept had been better utilized and if the writers had added more interesting characters to the story, Infinite could have easily been one of the best Halo games ever. The shootouts are highly entertaining and the open world brings new tactical possibilities. The multiplayer is just as good, being slightly faster than before. [Issue#317]

    Halo is back to its best with Halo Infinite, tight controls, and seriously thirst-quenching gunplay that feels so intuitively satisfying. Traversal has been improved hugely by the addition of the grappleshot, allowing Master Chief to zip around at speed, as well as adding a unique element for multiplayer matches. A particular dampener has to be directed at the online multiplayer, which is riddled with cheaters, but, if they were to be removed then the multiplayer offers a solid free-to-play experience that is fast and frantic. Halo Infinite, alongside a number of other Xbox first-party titles is a great addition to Xbox Game Pass, and it is certainly a marquee game that warrants a subscription to the service.

    There’s not much to do in the open world, but thankfully, it doesn’t play a big role either. Infinite mostly sticks to what makes Halo great: first-person action. Smart level design, great mobility mechanics like grappling hook, and good AI make for some really memorable moments. [Issue#258, p.42]
