    I know Halo has been running around but with some luck and hard work, they have managed to survive in the past decades. But man, this title is really epic.

    This is a really great game and the only reason it’s not a 10/10 are personal reasons and the current state of the multiplayer. CAMPAIGN

    The campaign is very amazing, has subtle performances, a great villain, and some good twists and turns. Chief and Weapon specifically shine in the story. The map is wonderful, there is so much to do, the sandbox elements are very very fun as well. There are also a ton of fun collectibles to find if you’re into that! This game also has fun boss battles!
    My problem with the campaign comes from the fact that I love halo 3 as an ending to Chiefs story. I think Halo 4 and Infinite are incredible games, but I just wish it was with a different spartan and that chiefs story closed with 3. As I said that’s a personal reason, I just think H3 id a perfect ending to Chiefs story and every new game moves further from that. I’d love it if this current trilogy told the story of a new Spartan and partner AI. Not a real critique just how I wish the story went.

    MULTIPLAYER The gameplay is 10/10. It is top tier as far as the shooting and movement go. There is just not a lot of content and the battle pass is just plain bad. I have 1000s of hours into H2, Halo Reach, Halo 4, and Halo 5 multiplayer, but I fell off this games multiplayer after a few weeks. Too few maps, the cosmetics are hard to come by, the battle pass and reward system is poorly designed. This could be fixed with an update and some free DLC but right now it’s just not fun. If it had more content and a better battle pass I could easily sink 100s of hours into this game. If you have game pass definitely download it and play it. I’d say it’s worth buying if you don’t have game pass. If you’ve never played a halo though skip it. The story is confusing to new players and very lore heavy.

    Edit in Late 2022: The support for this game has increasingly gotten better, it feels like a complete game now and the multiplayer with forge is awesome. Love this game!    … Expand

    Halo feels just too outdated if you aren't nostalgic for it.

    Pros:
    - Innovation
    - People seem to like the multiplayer
    - The devs definitely tried

    Cons:
    - Outdated weapon handling (the game still just zooms just a bit instead of giving you iron-sights with most guns)
    - Most levels feel the same due to being inside bunkers & CO.
    - Just not fun

    campaign is good but multiplayer is trash.
    the map is dead. it don't have any Destructibility. cs1.6 is better than multiplayer

    Very good game for my part, quite entertaining with secondary tools that make combat more dynamic, scenarios where it made me feel like I was in the first titles of this beautiful saga. And what I consider most remarkable: the comedy in the world as the propaganda towers, and in the main story that is not exaggerated, is to be applauded.

    Even with a small fraction of Halo’s original gameplay loop, it manages to knock the gaming landscape out of the park, and receive universal praise. Despite its evident lack of content, i can only imagine how grand the game becomes in years to come.

    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.

    Advertised as open world game... Instead Navi 2.0 harasses you every 5 seconds to complete story mission and there's no way to shut her up.

Instead Navi 2.0 harasses you every 5 seconds to complete story mission and there's no way to shut her up. Once you reach the spire, fast travel is shut down and you are forced along a linear path from that point. Boss fights start off decent but then quickly become the easiest things ever (stand there snipe boss from distance nonsense). Useless thruster that serves no purpose and is entirely useless period below level 3, literally easier just to use the grappling hoook. Unbound weapons you unlock do not share ammo types with regular weapons so you have to throw them away to reload your weapon more often than not. Hand holding mechanics through out the entire game essentially.

    gamepass versin of game will not run on my pc even with graphics settings set to everything low. Hve to play console cloud version. Got off the ship and onto the ring in game pass pc version, and then the game just beame unplayable. Thought it was my computer, it is not. COmputer exceeds recommended specs. Installed steam version and game works fine with settings on medium. not surprising in the slightest since 100% of all games i've purchased via microsoft store have had to be repurchased on steam in order to play. At least my progress/unlocks carried over to steam. Quite literally, if they hadn't i'd give this game a 1
    Story is pretty decent at least. Getting bored with dealing with the rings and the flood. Thought this franchise was expanding the scope of it's story to go outside that, but nope..back to rings..back to more flood. At some point, devs are just going to have to tell fans to keep quiet . What do people expect, it's the year 2100 and we are still exploring the adventures of Master Chief. Like seriuosly. Halo's lore shouldn't be exclusive to books and anime. The games shoudl explore all this extra stuff instead of just only focusing on 1 character for bleepin the last 20 years. Move on folks.
    Please just kill off master chief permanently and move the story along..borrring.    … Expand

    The best of the entire Halo saga, the master chief has returned in a big way with this installment, without a doubt it was worth the wait, it is one of the absolutely essential games.

    This story combines perfectly “the banished” arc with master chief's. Most missions didn’t feel repetitive and challenged you to use the new abilities master chief got. The overall graphic design made me fall as if I was 7 again playing Halo 3, made me nostalgic. Great game and great way to come back after Halo 5.

    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]
