Campaign game play is good, You can fight against characteristics enemies with various weapons and vehicles. Also fight with your marines and give powerful weapons to them whatever you want. Armor abilities are helpful to fight. Drop wall to take cover yourself, threat sensor to find enemies where they are, thruster to avoid enemy's dangerous attacks quickly. And the grappling hook is the quite big one. This is VERY useful to shifting anywhere, you can climb 90°cliffs when you upgrade grappling hook. The great mobility of grappling hook increase non linearity of this campaign's semi open world experience. You not need to reach your destination through uncomfortable ways, just use grappling hook, jump and climb to your destinations. The side quests are useful to increase your abilities and get more power weapons and vehicles to use. But if you want, you not need to do these side quests. You can play main missions of this game without any side quests. They are just options if you want. You can easily finish this campaign on easy or normal difficulty.

    The story is quite okay. The 343 remove there many failures of halo 4 and 5's storytelling and it's a good thing. But some problems included like you need to find some audio logs to help to understand story more easier and the villains are not much impact in this campaign. But the characteristics of protagonists such as Master Chief, The Weapon, Pilot are great. Based on these results, I hope 343 will make more better stories for next Halo series.

    The multiplay core gameplay is great. All players start with AR and sidekick. And they fight each other for victory with more good weapons and abilities which they are spawns on the map. 4vs4 matches are quite tight but it gives fun to fight with mixture of various weapons and ability items. 12vs12 the Big Team Battle is more fun than 4vs4 arena matches for casual players. The larger scale than 4vs4 with various vehicles, more weapons, item spawns and random ordinance of power weapons and power items.

    But the management of multiplay is not good now. The shop item's price is expensive, the cross-core armor customization is not available now, no more contents such as new maps, mods, weapons in season 1. 343 only gives bug fixes and stability fixes right now so if you want more contents, you will need to return when season 2 or season 3 with forge mod is arrival. Honestly if I can give a score only a management of this multiplayer right now I'll give just 3/10.

    Anyway the core game plays of campaign and multiplay are great. The story is quite okay. The only problem of 343 right now is they MUST do better with their multiplay management.    … Expand

Virtually no content for season one, there was a beta to fix issues but the same issues persist post mid season1 update, maps in BTB can feel unbalanced, tanks spawn at the worst times that can give a dominating team even more firepower, matchmaking is still buggy, I still glitch out hard when I get hijacked, high power is the most unbalanced map I’ve ever played and it’s 1 of only 3 BTB STILL, if I get 100 kills in a game of slayer someone with 0 with still gets the same amount of exp post game, leader boards from previous game don’t function correctly, I can’t mute one person I have to spend 20 seconds in the menu mid game to mute all, I get shot around corners constantly, rocket launchers damage output wildly inconsistent, etc.

    I could write a book. With the lack of content and still buggy mess of a game almost 4 months since the start of the Beta, no wonder player counts are so low. Luckily it’s not as bad as Vangaurd or Battlefield!! Fml.    … Expand

    The open world is a fresh take on the game, allowing you to battle in ways never seen before. I really liked to able to lead my own little squad to take on enemy bases, and wished there were more ways to customize and use your marines.

    Honestly, Halo Infinite really blew my expectations away other than the above, from what I'd seen. I loved the grapple mechanic they had! That was the most freaking fun, I've EVER had, playing a Halo game. I loved the "open world" aspect of the game... or the little slice we got?

    I'm surprised some story expansion DLC hasn't been mentioned so far?

    A lot of little things that we saw in the trailers didn't make it into the final game.. Some of environments, animals, etc.. its stuff you expect buying into the marketing.

    I loved the fact that I was able to go almost the WHOLE game, with the kit selection I wanted. So basically a lot of shotgunning things in the face. Again it WAS TRULY ENJOYABLE! I loved that. But the game did force me to switch it up occasionally whether I wanted to or not.

    in regards to the multiplayer.. I gave it a bit of a shot, the BOTS were really cool feature, basically to warm up before you fight other people.

    Being as I'm getting older & don't have the twitch reflexes of the younger set of gamers coming up, it was nice to be able to engage in a different aspect of the game, w/o being put through pure misery. That being said, their seemed to be something off, with the shooting mechanic when engaging in the PvP. I don't know, what it was exactly, & I couldn't put it to words, but something just seemed "off" occasionally.

    Anyways, the team behind this game, nailed a lot of little things, like the climbing, the vehicle stealing, etc.. from enemies..

    I don't have a single regret about my experience with the game & story mode for the most part. It was a very fun romp!

    I will say one thing though, the aircraft fragility was annoying as ALL GET OUT THOUGH.. I do remember how much I hated that one aspect.

    TL:DR If you like Halo, if you like FPS, for the story, it's worth picking up. I have no regrets with the purchase.    … 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

The Master Chief's solo return as a shooter is one of the most atmospheric experiences of the year for me. The tried-and-tested mechanics have been sensibly refined, and the handling of the futuristic shooting club is convincing. The AI, which is particularly passable in larger groups, ensures that you constantly have to adapt your approach, use the armor gimmicks including the polarizing grappling hook and take advantage of all the advantages that the clever level design offers in both the lush outdoor areas and the interior rooms. However, in the nicely staged boss fights, 343 rarely has the right sense of when "enough" is - they almost always go a tad too long. And apart from the compelling action? I expressly welcome the decision to connect the linear campaign missions not only with semi-tubes as before, but also with a largely freely accessible open world. This is one of the possible correct ways to take the Master Chief into a game-mechanically relevant future. But 343 Industries wasn't as successful with the mission design of the side activities as they were with the shooter mechanics. The developers didn't come up with much more than standard missions adapted to the ring world, such as "kill this", "find that" or "destroy that" and can only be the first step. However, as the campaign story steadily loses its appeal after the promising start, the player's focus becomes too much on those superficial, run-of-the-mill activities that Zeta Halo throws at them. Make fun? Absolutely! Can you do without them? Yes! Accordingly, they act more like entertaining fillers than as a useful addition to the campaign tasks. When it comes to technology, too, there is a lot of light and some shadows. The bottom line is that 343 got the graphics curve that some wouldn't have expected after the first "real" gameplay demos. Despite all the improvements, it's a long way from being "the flagship title" for the Xbox Series X. Nevertheless, the at least good, in some cases even very good overall picture is not only coherent and respectable (even if Zeta Halo could do with more varied areas), but is also presented fluently. The shooter as a core competence of Halo is stronger than it has been for a long time.… 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]
