Lamentablemente su multijugador ha sido de los peores de la franquicia, poco sooporte, pocos modos y recompensas, hacerlo free to play fue lo peor que pudieron hacer y por lo tanto le pongo un 80.

    Predatory monetisation
    Broken custom games, theater
    Lack of maps and game modes
    Some armors and effects are out of place and customisation in general is terrible
    Campaign is the worst in the series with no variety in scenery, enemy encounters and so on
    And many many lies

    Halo Infinite is an absolutely great game, the campaign is 10/10, my one gripe with the game is the MP, the content is a bit lacking and the store prices are quite high. I honestly love this game to death, best thing 343 has put out since they took over

    The Campaign/Story and the new game mechanics are really good and the Open World is also not bad.

    But the multiplayer is the worst ever. Crossplay makes it totally useless, the maps are boring, the battlepass is just a big grind or p2w.

    Barely any maps/game modes.
    No queues for specific game modes.
    Power weapons feel weak and unimpactful. Horrible server/connection issues. Worsted battle pass I've seen in a modern game.

    Overall the game is unfinished and is receiving extremely slow updates. 343 should be capable of far better than this, especially considering how long this game took to develop.    … Expand

A história é de longe a melhor de Halo nos últimos anos, sem falar na substituta de Cortana, que caiu como uma luva. O enredo possui um forte valor sentimental, e um apelo emocional excelente, finalmente me senti jogando um Halo digno de uma saga fabulosa. Foi inserido vida ao ambiente, algo quase que ausente nos dois últimos Halos, e o mundo semi aberto foi muito bem vindo. Com bastante coisas para fazer e pontos para conquistar, entretanto, as missões se tornam repetitivas. De pontos negativos, pode ser citado justamente o ambiente, apesar de nesse game existe vida no cenário, ainda assim é muito pequeno comparado a outros jogos de mesma grandiosidade. Mais um aspecto negativo é a expressão facial dos inimigos, dos Brutes, é bastante limitada, com aparência pobre, isso se compararmos a outros jogos da franquia. A respeito do gráfico, é um excelente gráfico para a geração passada, mas ainda sim inferior ao de Halo 5 Guardians. No mais, Halo Infinite é um excelente jogo para a franquia Halo, trouxe momentos nostálgicos como outrora nos causava. Mas ficou devendo em termos gráficos e um maior capricho na aparência dos inimigos, na vida do mundo semi aberto, e maior variedade de missões secundárias.… Expand

    The campaign was ok. Story was decent and a large improvement from halo 5. I’m not a huge fan of the whole open world though and the world itself is lacking variety and the gameplay becomes redundant. It would have been great to have different environments because now everything looks the same. Also it is a bit forgetable, It dosent have all the memorable moments like the oider titles had.The campaign was ok. Story was decent and a large improvement from halo 5.

    Multiplayer have some game breaking issues that most likely will never get any fixes. In its core the multiplayer is great and a lot of fun which makes it so sad that they don’t fix the issues. The main issues are:

    - DESYNC – Largest problem in the multiplayer. Getting shot behind walls, shots not registering, beatdown from behind not killing, beatdown not from behind killing, grenades not causing damage and so on. Will probably never gets fixed. The old Halo titles (1, 2, 3, reach) plays much better and they never had these problems.
    - No region filters. In halo mcc you can set that you only want to play on for example European servers. This is not possible in Infinite which means that you, when playing in Europe, will get thrown into North American servers sometimes (especially occurring when playing late in central European time). North American servers are unplayable to play on for Europeans due to that the ping is 140-200 ms.
    - Big team is not very fun anymore. Largest problem are the maps which are designed like Formel 1 tracks which causes ground vehicles to become useless due to that there is only one route to take which makes them easy to destroy. Also, they are cluttered with obstacles on the drive paths. What happened to the big and open maps that we all loved from the older titles? Adding all the 1 million anti vehicles equipment’s doesn’t make it any better (especially the ridiculous electric grenade or dynamo or whatever it’s called).
    - Still no co-op, forge, custom browser, theater is broken and barely usable.
    - They didn’t add any player collision which is so stupid. Nobody asked for this to be removed.    … Expand

Campaign co-op and forge are nowhere to be found, which is extremely disappointing. My last issue I take with the game is the F2P elements, such as expensive microtransactions, and a lame battle pass. Overall, 343 Industries has made the first great Halo game since Bungie left the series, and hopefully can carry on this innovation into the next installment in the series.… Expand

I    After a total of 18 hours and a legendary level of difficulty, the end credits for the campaign were just running. My face was difficult at times, but I wanted it that way and I always have to play Legendary on Halo. First of all, I liked the game and the Master Chief got a worthy game.

    story

    Everything about the Master Chief, the Halo Ring and Cortana has always been fascinating. I really enjoyed the staging and story of the campaign and the whole thing was decorated with the great sci-fi trappings of the Halo universe. I liked all the characters that were introduced, only "the antagonist" was a bit flat. But I especially liked the pilot and the weapon in the interaction with the Master Chief. The chief himself was also more involved and sympathized with him. I'm excited to see how it goes from there.

    gameplay

    In terms of shooter technology, the thing runs buttery smooth again. Testing the different weapons and gadgets was a lot of fun and I really grew to love some of the weapons along the way. The many grenade options also give the player enough oomph. I also found the rather critically viewed open world to be integrated quite nicely and the activities have, even if you e.g. Knowing how to conquer bases, the gameplay made it a lot of fun. Especially the bounties were always a nice change. In addition, the interlocking of Open World and classic Halo tube levels worked well. The classic level designs can be found here very often.

    The new approach to bosses was also courageous, but I have to say that some fights quickly become boring, especially on Legendary. Boss has a shield eventually switches to melee and can onehit you. You then basically run in circles with the grappling hook the whole time and do a little enemy damage. That got tiring and frustrating at some point, even if I have to write the level of difficulty myself, of course. The gameplay design of the bosses could have been more innovative and e.g. to enable more interaction with the environment.

    Graphics/atmosphere/presentation

    Yes, graphically, there is a lot more. Unfortunately, the open world in particular, as well as it was integrated into the game for me, didn't look good enough. I was hoping for a variety of biomes, lush flora and fauna and unfortunately got little to none of it. Everything looked relatively dreary, even if there were always very nice areas in the open world. On the other hand, the indoor levels warmed my sci-fi heart. It all looked beautiful and just oozed atmosphere. Couple that with the wonderful music and you're in Halo heaven.

    The cutscenes were also consistently well staged. Some of the facial expressions were pretty weak though, especially Escharum just looked bad in some scenes, but the weapon sometimes had strange facial expressions as well.

    Conclusion

    I wanted the chief, I got the chief. There is definitely wasted potential there, but that can be made better in the next parts. The open world approach in particular must then be filled out better as far as the presentation is concerned. A little more diversity in boss fights, and a little more gadget relevance (the grappling hook consistently steals the show on Legendary). Total 8/10 halo rings. (4/5)    … Expand

    I have put a decent amount of time into this game and overall I'd say it's quite good. But the lack of game modes and maps in the multiplayer means that you can get burnt out quite quickly with it. However the core gameplay is good enough to entertain for quite a few hours or even days

    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]
