    I’ve played halo for 20 years now. I can say the magic is back and that this is worthy of the title. This is a great mix of old school halo in the combat the maps and the story mixed with new school additions. Great overall game. Multiplayer is being patched a bit but still plays great. Infinite fun here

    Игра потрясная! Глоток свежего воздуха, если сравнивать с играми от сони. Мир красивый, и интересный стрельба не надоедает, и мне все очень понравилось :з
    Хоть я и играю большую часть времени на PlayStation 4.

    Solid graphics, amazing soundtrack, perfect voice acting. Going semi-open world was right choice and hopefully DLC's expand on that idea with different looking locations. Story was miles better than Halo 5, reminded me combination of Halo 3 and Halo 4. Multiplayer needs lots of work, but even then, it's easily best shooter of 2021. Well Done 343.

    Halo Infinite had the opportunity to cement itself as the dominate multiplayer fps as Halo 3 once did but unfortunately it feels like an unfinished product due to some key missing features and a few mindbogglingly bad design decisions.

    First the stuff that has been removed which was standard in previous games
    -No campaign co op
    -Cant replay missions in campaign without starting new game
    -No split screen multiplayer
    -No dual wielding weapons
    -No forge
    -No slayer or team slayer playlists
    -No swat or infection playlists
    -No griffball
    -Armor customization now costs money
    -No stat tracking
    -No input based matchmaking so you're forced to fight PC sweats
    -Battlepass. I could write pages on how stuff like this is cancer to the gaming industry but I think the prices for armor colors speak for themselves.
    -No spartan laser(seriously what the hell)

    The campaign could have been good if you didn't just go through either bland grey hallways or the same green forest environment the entire game. The story presentation in general was pretty bad, most of the important info is given through audio logs in typical boring open world fashion. Speaking of open world most of the campaign is like a bad far cry game where(you guessed it) you take over bases by killing the same enemies ad nauseum. I give one point for the grapple because its a fun mechanic.

    The multiplayer sucks in all kinds of ways the most obvious of which being the battle pass which is the worst thing to happen to halo but I digress. The Big team battle maps are awful because they don't have any open space to improvise with vehicles, everything must be driven on the predetermined paths which makes everything feel formulaic. Even worse is the game has random vehicle spawns so your team can get screwed by RNG that will sometimes give the losing team game winning vehicles like tanks, its honestly a joke.

    Overall Infinite is an obviously incomplete game that was sold way before it was ready in order to get the jump on battlefield and cod. To me this is the worst Halo game, not just because of the predatory monetization but because its so bland in everything it attempts without any of the polish of the previous halo games. I honestly cannot comprehend why Microsoft continues to let 343 run this series into the ground.    … Expand

    Multiplayer is completely free, the company is included in gamepass. You can look at the assessments, but it is always better to make your own opinion, especially since it costs practically nothing.

    Very disappointing and generic story, and very empty semi open world sections. you'd think they'd do better for a "next gen" $500 million title.

    I don't understand the huge downvotes. I'm not a huge fan of multiplayer, but the campaign is great. Definitely better than Halo 4 and 5. 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра в плане сюжета не такая глобальная в сравнении с другими частями halo, но для меня, эта игра как просто отдых от вечных американских горок и которая посвещаня только самому Мастеру Чифу как персонажу, а не как двигателем глобальных войн.

    Сюжетная игра сосредаточено на самом Мастере Чифе, который как Марио идёт спасать свою Картану, ты можешь проникнуть не только этим лором, но и то что оставили солдаты после войны.
    Изучая это всё, ты начинаешь понимать, что лор даже в такой маленькой для франшизы части тоже может быть на уровне, даже от части переплюнув прошлые работы 343i

    Левл дизайн... Те журналюги говорили что типа 2 часа проходили одинаковые коридоры в начале, НА ЛЕГКОЙ СЛОЖНОСТИ КАРЛ! Так вот, я их прошел за 20 минут, собрав все голосовые послания, и впринцепи не почувствовал скуки.
    Сам левл дизайн тебе помогает сделать разнообразную игру, если ты сам понимаешь как в эту игру играть.

    Геймплей самый лучший в серии лично для меня, стал быстрее, намнооооооооооого.

    И да, сони бои, попробуйте, просто попробуйте сами в неё поиграть на пк, и составьте нормальную критику. Будьте людьми скажем так) А так, всем удачи) и желаю приятной игры!    … Expand

    Very good, it turns out the old-school gameplay is not only relevant in 2021, but also capable of surprising and surpassing the competition.
    Excellent balance and measured gameplay emphasize the competitive spirit of playing on an equal footing between opponents. And most importantly, it is perfectly optimized, does not have critical bugs, and those that do make you smile.
    I advise everyone who is not happy with the dynamics, the rules of this multiplayer and the lack of a huge number of microtransactions to go to other projects.
    Hopefully the team will continue to improve the multiplayer.

    Single company.
    Also good but there are problems. It's interesting to watch the plot until the end, but at the end nothing global happens.
    The open world resembles the world of Metro Exodus and this is good, for some reason, many disaffected people expected an open world like in Far cry, but at the same time they do not like Far cry ...
    Due to the open world, the core of the Halo gameplay has received additional depth, now you yourself create the staged moments, and not as scripts did in the hallway gameplay of the old parts before.
    The graphics are not new generation since the game was released on the old and new generation of xbox consoles.
    The graphics are minimalistic, but everything is very detailed and pleasing to the eye. Works great on all xbox one and series consoles.
    The game is available in the gamee pass so anyone can try it out)

    Verdict 9.0 points.
    This is the best thing in the series since halo reach.
    I want to congratulate microsoft, bungie and 343 indastries on the 20th anniversary of the franchise and thank you for releasing a great multiplayer game three weeks ahead of the game's release.

However, 343I has some shortcomings of this game from both the Multiplayer and Campaign sides. The lack of more game types/playlists at multiplayer launch is lackluster, as many have expected to have the same game modes and types such as Slayer/Swat to name a couple already available, as previous Halo games did include them at launch. Having to wait for co-op for the campaign is such a big disappointment as having an open-world halo game, having it co-op would have made the experience more enjoyable with friends. The leveling system for the battle pass and cosmetic is such an annoyance. Having points pop up during a match for doing great than getting just 50+ (after your 6 matches, after the hotfix) makes trying to play the objective and doing well, and getting the same as the bottom player in the match loses the incentive of me continue to play more multiplayer. There are plenty that 343I will have to fix for this game to be as great as it can be, but I have to give them praise for where they did well on it.… Expand

The base story is around 7-8 hours only if you stick on a straight path by only doing story objectives but you can make the game a lot longer if you want. The base multiplayer is probably some of the best in the series, however stuff like microtransactions, progression and a lack of playlists/gamemodes can make it a bit underwhelming.

    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]
