This is not Halo. 343 killed the franchise.

    Multiplayer: Great, one of the best. Don't care a single bit about the XP controversy. Are you playing the game to have fun or to collect XP and "items"? No DLSS sucks, the FPS for such a fast pace game would be much appreciated if they implement it.    … Expand

    Solid game, best Halo since Halo 3. Enjoyed the open world aspect. The grapple hook was great! Story was ok. Nothing special but not bad either. I felt it was very samey samey at times which was ok for Halo back in the day but thought they could’ve put a bit more into that.

    Halo Infinite is a great return to Halo after the disappointing Halo 5: Guardians and Halo 4. The campaign is a lot of fun, and the multiplayer is a return to classic Halo. The lack of content, however, is the major drawback here. The campaign is similar to Halo 2 in that it doesn’t really ‘end.’ Instead, it’s more of a stop. There also aren’t a lot of multiplayer maps.

The series had kinda died for me since HALO 4, but with this one, the future is bright for Master Chief once again.

    If I could use one word to summarize Infinite, it would be FUN.
    I've played this game for a bit over 15 hours and I felt nothing but joy from beginning to end. The gameplay is just peak HALO! From multiplayer to the campaign.
    The environments are beautiful and feel great to explore, the level of verticality in the open world and interior stages is amazing, sidequests are fast paced and important to the main story, every gun is useful and impactful, multiplayer feels fresh... Everything just works and its execution is highly addicting. I almost 100% the map, even after finishing the story.

    The reason why I think Infinite's gameplay loop works so well is due to its greatest addition. And no, it's not the new sandbox-style map. It's something simpler: the grappling hook.
    Grappling hooks usually transforms the game and it wasn't different for HALO. It makes traversal fun and quick, opens new doors to improvise during combat, makes platforming a charm and it changes the game. It's so good that I didn't even care for the other equipments. In fact, changing equipments in this game is a hassle. I just stuck with the hook.

    But the cracks in this near perfect HALO game starts to show up when the story becomes the focus.
    Master Chief's new narrative is good. It's definitely a huge improvement over the 4th and 5th entries. The writing is good, the new Cortana is cool as hell, the Banished are threatening, Chief is better than ever and even Echo 216 gets to shine.
    The problem is that it feels very incomplete. It's not well told at all. Most things happen before the game even start. Actually, almost every essential moment happens off-screen and even the cutscenes, while graphically impressive, feel a bit off. I also don't think it ties well with where 5 left off, which is absurd, since that game had universal-threats like the Guardians being thrown at you. And now they are gone. Just like that.

    And as the story cracks are perceived, some of the bad leaks to the gameplay as well. Like how checkpoints happen at random. And how sometimes the challenge can be a bit too much. Or how driving any vehicle (except the Ghost) in this game is horrible. And then you notice that the final levels of the game, while still thrilling, can get very repetitive and sort of tedious.

    But even after noticing these cracks, I also know that they're very small compared to how good this game is. This is the best HALO since 3. It pulled me back to a franchise that I absolutely love and that made me incredibly happy. This is definitely 343's finest work. Hell, they even made the boss fights remarkable and I don't think I can say that for past HALO games.

    With a short and sweet open world, fantastic gameplay and an ok story, HALO's back, making this Microsoft's best exclusive game in years.    … Expand

    The best Halo that 343 Industries has put out.

    The abilities Master Chief gains through the game are not overdone and the little bit of RPG-like gameplay was not too intrusive but enough that it was worth seeking out.

    The gun play feels great and, as someone who remembers very little of Halo 4 & 5, there is a good variety of weapons without any weapons feeling too redundant. That said, the enemy AI is often lacking, often not responding appropriately when being shot at from great distances or just doing silly things in the heat of battle (on Heroic difficulty).

    The issue with large distances isn't just the AI behavior though, the rendering distances for enemies is abysmal. It's sad to see such a large and open world that just feels empty.

    And while the open world is visually beautiful; it quickly becomes repetitive. The landscape, which is no doubt sculped meticulously, is without any real diversity. Thinking back to Combat Evolved, which had rolling green fields, beach assaults, mountainous canyons and a snowy tundra -- Halo Infinite just feels bland and repetitive.

    Then there are the objectives. Five different types of objectives, copied and pasted around the map. And two of them are just "Collect a Thing". Yes, there are special scripted areas that are great but there are no real stakes. Skip them or do them; it doesn't matter. No matter what you do in the game, it does not feel like you are making any progress in the war against the Banished.

    And I know I said the the world feels bland, but at the same time, it's very "busy" making any use of vehicles too cumbersome when compared to simply using the grapple. To make matters worse, vehicles are incredibly fragile to small arms fire. Finally, while we're on the topic, the Scorpion tank controls render the vehicle almost unusable.

    The story is mediocre at best and a lot of it is delivered through exposition dumps via the audio logs. This comes off as lazy game design, where some voice actors can knock some story beats out and level designers can scatter them through the world. I simply stopped collecting them once I realized I wasn't even listening to them any more.

    There is plenty to be critical about; however, it is a step in the right direction for 343. The game is enjoyable and would is a great foundation for an expansion DLC that adds more objectives.    … Expand

    Like everyone else I first experienced the game while playing the multiplayer aspect. The game mechanics feels great, very solid. I enjoyed all the new additions to the gameplay mechanics and the multiplayer games are really fun to play. It still needs some work regarding options and match style but I’m hopeful that more will be added along the way.

    The game definitely was released incomplete, I’m pretty sure it was hectic development cycle but as a Halo fan I was glad to get some new Halo and what I expected I enjoyed and it was free (multiplayer) so I’m definitely not as critical as others regarding this aspect.

    The campaign I experienced through Xbox GamePass and I loved it, the story was good and I really loved the open terrain of this game as it definitely captures the best moments from the original Halo CE game. I also liked the side missions and secrets/collectibles. There’s simply plenty to do here and that’s good.

    Now 343 still has some work to do like add the ability to replay missions, more multiplayer match styles, etc. but the idea for this game was to be an expanding/evolving experience through the years so I’m looking forward to getting more Halo content over time, so I’m overlooking some of the negatives and concentrating on all the goods we can currently enjoy.    … Expand

    One the most bland and repetitive games I've played in recent memory.

    - Presentation is average - some parts look ok (cutscenes, etc.) but the environments are really boring and lack detail. Open world sections look like early Xbox One and the facial animation on characters is laughably bad (new AI „Weapon” especially). Frankly Halo 4 and 5 looked better in a lot of areas. - Story    One the most bland and repetitive games I've played in recent memory.

    - Story simply sucks. The writing is juvenile and cringy, characters are one-dimensional and not at all interesting. The plot is as simplistic as they come - it's just Chief trying to stop some bad guys who are "up to no good". The pacing is completely off, there’s no sense of urgency.
    - Gameplay mechanics are actually well done: it feels nice to shoot, move and use all the weapons/gadgets - that's why multiplayer is really fun to play, but unfortunately these good mechanics are wasted in the campaign because...
    - ... the mission design and open world structure are both very repetitive, unimaginative and flat out boring after a while. If You played the first 2h of the game You've pretty much seen all it has to offer. Later on You'll be just doing the exact same things countless times in the same looking environments over and over again. Missions feel like base Destiny 1 and the open world is the same tired stuff we've all seen a million times in Ubiosoft games. Only here the world is completely empty and lifeless.

    Despite it's major flaws the game can be enjoyable at times in the campaign and the multiplayer is cool (horrible progression system and lack of content notwithstanding), but overall it's a big disappointment. I just don't think 343 is talented enough to create a truly great Halo game:/    … Expand

The open world is reminiscent of a Far Cry title, proving a mildly interesting distraction that stops being so rather quickly. The grappling hook, being pushed as the game's staple ability, is fun and satisfying to use, leading to some intense flanks and getaways that wouldn't be possible in previous titles. However, it seems as if the enemy AI doesn't quite know how to counter it effectively, enabling you to simply fly past large swaths of enemies with barely a scratch to show for it. Boss fights, which return from Halo 2, either seem too easy or punishingly hard, with 343 unable to find that golden balance. And of course, I can't forget to mention the egregious omission of co-op at launch, making players wait at least another half year before it will finally be patched in. Perhaps the promised future DLC stories will prove more engaging, but personally, I believe that the vanilla campaign is a rather mediocre experience overall, and not intriguing enough to warrant subsequent playthroughs, let alone the $60 USD asking price. If you feel obligated to play it, however, I'd say it is worth the $9.99 Game Pass asking price on your platform of choice.

    On the multiplayer side, things are a bit of a mess at the moment. While the return to boots-on-the-ground arena-focused gameplay is a welcome one, the initial release of content is shockingly sparce for a game that was in development for six years. Several playlists that were absent from the game at launch, such as Slayer and SWAT (now being referred to as "Tactical Slayer"), are set to be added tomorrow at the time of this review, but only after mass user outcry on social media and repeated botched communication from 343 Industries. Other issues, such as the horrific monetization practices, a very lackluster customization system, and lack of a primary progression system are significantly worse than any previous entry in the franchise and are unlikely to be fixed any sooner than a year or longer at the very least. Other systems, such as Theater and the UI as a whole, are very poorly implemented and confusing to navigate, with Theater frequently malfunctioning or being unable to play previous films entirely. Forge, introduced in 2007's Halo 3, is yet another mode that was cut from the game, and is being targeted for Q3 2022 at the earliest, which is approaching nearly an entire year after release. Once again, overall the entire experience feels half-baked and poorly planned despite the lengthy development period and undoubtedly large budget allotted by publisher Microsoft.

    I would not recommend Halo Infinite at this time, as it seems like a game that requires at least a year or two of patching to become a fully-featured product, much like DICE's Battlefront II some years prior. Unfortunately, it seems that 343 Industries is still incapable at providing a solid day one experience, even after a decade of working on the Halo franchise. Perhaps one day Halo Infinite will be worthy of the hundreds and even thousands of hours that have been put into its predecessors, but until that time comes, stay far away.    … Expand

The open world is added for the tick, it is not much different from the open locations of the first parts. But the plot is the biggest failure. Yes, this is not as bad as the 4 part and even more so Guardians, but it is so local that ODST seems a more significant part in the series. Halo Infinite is the best shooter of 2021, but it is a weak shooter in general. Such years in the industry. Halo Infinite was very late, such a game should have been 4 part. Alas for the 3 parts of 343 Industries did not come to the level of the original trilogy, Reach is so out of reach at all.… Expand

    As a long time Halo fan (since 2002), i'm disappointed. Halo Infinites campaign is lacking creativity and vision, two things that made the original Halo games so outstanding.

Halo Infinites campaign is lacking creativity and vision, two things that made the original Halo games so outstanding. Halo Infinite's open world feels lackluster, kind of empty. In linear Halo games the action was more dense, the creators created worlds and coherent experiences within the campaign, each level was different from the other (ok, not always) and you constantly wondered about what might come next. But here you have already seen everything a few seconds after you enter the open world. There is only one biome (with only ONE single tree design) and no interesting locations to go to.
    The story is almost only told via dialogues between "the weapon" and masterchief and some "voices" from cortana. There is nothing really exciting going on, you only walk through the same looking (but still beautiful designed) locations over and over again while the „the weapon“ or Cortana are talking, that's basically it. Even Halo Combat Evolved - with its repetitive misson design in some levels - had way more variety than Infinite.
    I'm not sure what to think about the open world. Sure it's fun to wonder around and explore hidden items, but it gets stale quick when you realise there is not much to it.
    This game relies way too much on its gameplay. Don't get me wrong, the gameplay is fantastic, its the typical high quality Halo gameplay we all love, but as much as i love mac and cheese, i don't want to eat it always and every day, i need some variety. Halo Infinite missed the chance to introduce new enemies (the skimmers don't count, they resemble the old drones way too much), whole enemy races and even new vehicles. We fought grunts, elites, jackals and brutes for almost 20 years now, and as much as i still like to fight them, it gets old only doing that throughout the whole game without any alternation. Maybe 343 got cautious after they realised the prometheans weren't that popular. But that should not mean not to try again, not to try something else. There are so many great enemy designs out there.
    No Coop is also very, very disappointing. I think the open world design is to blame here. The creators couldn't figure out how to implement coop here.
    The multiplayer is fun but lacks in maps and game modes. Also i'm not a big fan of the battlepass, i hated that system already in games like Rocket League. The shop prices in Infinite are ridiculous and i won't spend a single cent as long as they remain that high, not much more to say about that.
    Oh, and please fix Big Team Battle! It's almost impossible to get into a game with more than 4 players in your team because the servers can't handle it.
    All in all, in this current state i give Halo Infinite 6 out of 10. Sadly, a huge opportunity wasted. My hope is that this game gets better with time, but i wouldn't bet on it.    … Expand

Halo Infinite is a great game with rough edges (a lot of rough edges) that is ultimately held up by incredible gameplay that’s just insanely fun to play.

    The gameplay is what really saves this game. The addition of the grappling hook, which adds a slew of new tactical options in combat, as well as movement capabilities, is super fun to use. It’s great in the campaign and a fantastic addition to the multiplayer which has a renewed emphasis on equipment. The weapons are fantastic, the game is fast, fun and just overwhelmingly entertaining.

    That being said…

    Infinite is unpolished. The open world appears beautiful at first glance. However, spending time here begins to reveal rough edges. Geometry is at times so basic it looks like triangles. Grass floats in mid air over the edges of the ground. There is texture and object pop-in, a problem that is exponentially worse when flying a banshee or hornet. Shadows and light flicker unrealistically. There are frame rate drops and in general the whole thing suffers from a lack of optimization. It doesn’t distract from the excellent gameplay, but it certainly hurts immersion. You’re constantly reminded this is a video game and that hampers the experience.

    To avoid spoilers I won’t go into it, but it’s just a very generic story. However, it’s told much more competently than Halo 5’s plot. Which, in my opinion, was more interesting, but delivered in a very boring way. There are good beats between Chief and new Cortana, well performed by Steve Downs and Jen Taylor. These moments are far more interesting and impactful than the Banished plot. The story is just underwhelming. With cutscenes playing out in a very formulaic fashion. And there is a general lack of variety in the game. You’re either outside in a giant version of the second level from the first game, or inside the ring, running through identical shiny blue metal corridors. No snow. No desert. No beaches. No swamps. It’s all rather repetitive.

    On the multiplayer side of things the game suffers from a lack of content, and some bad decisions regarding progression, unlocks, and customization. Don’t get me started on micro-transactions. The prices in the store are a joke. They’ve made some changes but they’ve got a long way to go. ($7 for a Ace playing card to stick on my helmet? Seriously? It’s insulting. And they still want you to pay for basic colors like red, blue, etc.) But we mustn't blame 343, these are likely big daddy Microsoft decisions. And it does sound like they’re listening to community feedback so fingers crossed.

    So. Why the 9? Sounds like I’ve got a lot of issues with the game. I DO. But, ITS DAMN GOOD FUN TO PLAY. I can’t argue with others who’ve scored the game lower, but at the end of the day, I play a game for fun. And this is the most fun I’ve had with a shooter in years. Every time I turn the game on I end up having a blast and I’ve got a smile on my face the whole time. I really hope they continue to give the game the polish it deserves. Despite it’s flaws, this is a must play and one of the best games on any platform. 9/10    … Expand

    6 long years since the dumpster fire that was Halo 5's main campaign. John 117 is officially back in what is arguably studio 343's finest piece of work.

    Set after the events of Halo 5 and also after the void where perhaps there was once an idea for a Halo 6, the story picks up with the Chief comatose in space after a failed altercation with our new villains 'The Banished'. The story    6 long years since the dumpster fire that was Halo 5's main campaign. John 117 is officially back in what is arguably studio 343's finest piece of work.

    Set after the events of Halo 5 and also after the void where perhaps there was once an idea for a Halo 6, the story picks up with the Chief comatose in space after a failed altercation with our new villains 'The Banished'. The story told here is a simple one, this is not to say poor, but most importantly decided to focus on the Chief and his emotional fall out from the events involving Cortana in Halo 4 & 5 as he attempts to stop 'The Banished' from achieving their evil plan.

    The gameplay in this game feels refined and is very reminiscent of when I first picked up the Xbox controller years ago and stepped foot into combat evolved. The nostalgia here is indeed strong with this one. With the move sets on offer, this is the closest to letting you feel like a Spartan the games have ever achieved. The environments are rich in detail although sometimes a bit sparse with activity and the graphical detail is glorious and really sings in 4K.

    A big part for any story driven game for me is the musical score. Gareth Coker really nails his composition and uses subtle Halo motifs to reinforce his original work. The result is a score that can move you and get your adrenaline pumping when the time is right. The rest of the sound design is also spectacular particularly when run through a 5.1 set up with an excellent mix of dialogue, music and sound effects with excellent spatial separation.

    Disclaimer: I am a Halo nut. My only criticism with the game is that you essentially only inhabit 2 biomes throughout your 20 something hour journey. Although the gameplay always kept it feeling fresh as the loop was so addictive I did feel by the end game I would have liked to have seen a little variety in the locations throughout the game. Hopefully these will be used in whatever Halo Infinite will become as it is my impression that this is the platform for the future of Halo.

    Overall, this is a masterpiece. Was it worth the wait? A resounding yes. Although location variety an issue throughout the main campaign I spent my entire time eager to jump back in and progress with finishing the fight. Welcome back Master Chief, you have been missed.    … Expand

    I get that players will want their sense of nostalgia satisfied in a Halo game, and maybe the FPS genre is just out of ideas, but overall the game just feels a little lackluster and lazy for such a flagship piece. Mostly went through the game with a sense of "been there, done that".

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Halo Infinite is a surprisingly good game being held back by many issues. The main issue with halo infinite is lack of content. From the 2020 reveal, halo infinite was delayed a full year for quality assurance, but unfortunately a few months before release, 343 announced that forge and coop would be delayed which killed the hype for many people. At release, Infinite only released with only ten maps, which may seem like much but aren’t very well designed. Another big issue are the micro transactions. Halo infinite was announced as a free to play game at E3 2021 and a lot of people were both excited and skeptical. When the game released, many people were upset by the price of items in the games shop with prices being too high. Those are the biggest issues that are plaguing halo infinite right now. The positives, if only a few are definitely great. The first positive is the gameplay. The gameplay is a huge step up from halo 5 which focused more on movement rather than gunplay. The movement in halo infinite is more balanced which leads to more firefights rather than running around the map so much to find a target. The grappling hook is an excellent addition to the sandbox letting you go fast and moving at a consistent speed.The next positive is the campaign. The campaign is a huge step up from halo 5 which was rather disappointing. The campaign has you play as the master chief again trying to find out what happened to Cortana because behind the game, Cortana died off screen. Chief ends up finding a new AI called the weapon who was responsible for capturing and deleting Cortana but Cortana died so she’s still alive which makes chief curios about what happened to Cortana, so the two of them end up on the zeta halo ring trying to find answers to Cortana and how she was killed. Halo Infinite a good game but with many severe issues which hold it back from being great. If it launched with forge and coop, the game would have been much better than it was and I would have given it a 9 rather than a 7, but as it is now, halo infinite is just an okay game with many issues and some good positives.… Expand

Movement has gotten much better while the new movement options in 5 felt like a gimmick the inclusion of the grapple hook really evaluated the whole experience and made the act of getting around in a fight a lot of fun. Having items that you carry around the whole game like a deployable shield or enemy scanner to be used anytime is also a great new feature that just made gunplay more engaging. My only complaint I have for it is I wish that it was easier to pick in the heat of battle as trying to navigate by tapping the d pad to the right then selecting was kind of annoying. The plot I thought was a lot more interesting then the other games although it did feel kinda lack luster but I appreciate them slimming the cast down and giving us a more concise story where 5 had like way to many characters where most did nothing. The Banished are a great new enemy you really learn and get a feel for them and they feel distinct unlike the covenant remanence of the last 2 games. And unlike the promethiens their a lot of fun to fight. And the enemy A.I has certainly been improved while not perfect enemy's act and behave alot more like how you'd expect. And the new art style change to a much more classic and simple design is a welcome change and really appreciated because my god the covenant were so ugly in the last games. The open world aspect was neat but it could of been utilized more. Like some actual side quests or some big large scale battles would of been coll. And the whole taking back the ring with these little marine bases feels a bit tagged on like they don't really impact anything it feels. I would of licked for our home base to be more dynamic changing and growing as the game progressed. Another thing I'm not a big fan about is that visually most of the levels look the same which can make them a bit exhausting and boring. However one thing this game nailed is the boss fights which really surprised me. While 2 tried some fights and they were kinda **** and 5 had one okay fight they used over and over again this game has a good amount of boss fights that are all fun and some are even challenging. Overall the campaign is great but I do see potential for it to be even better.

    And for the multiplayer let me just say I hate battle pass progression systems. They aren't fun and the fact you only get experience for the challenges is really annoying and deters me from playing game modes I actually wanna play. The customization is really good but I don't know why it needs to be split between different armor types like let me mix and match whatever I want. Although having different loadouts for customization would be cool and its kinda like that now but they should expand on that idea at some point. Now my only other real other complaint for the multiplayer is the lack of maps they really got to add more maps because their already getting kinda old. Not that their bad but it just feels like I'm playing the same ones all the time. Luckily the gunplay just like the campaign is a lot of fun and much better experience then 4 or 5 on the multiplayer side of things. The multiplayer is really fun I just wish the progression system was actually rewarding and that their was an actual level to everyone's profile.    … Expand

    GİRİŞ

    2016 yılında Xbox 360 alarak çok doğru bir karar verdiğimi Halo 4'ü oynadığımda anlamıştım, ondan sonrada serüven başladı, 2017 yılında Xbox One S almış ve aldığım ilk 2 oyun Halo 5 ve Halo MCC idi, her Halo oyunu ayrı severim, benim için yerleri ayrıdır(ilk 2 oyun hariç, o oyunlar yaşını çok belli ediyor) Halo 5'i 2018 yılında bitirdiğimde devam oyunu için aşırı    GİRİŞ

    2016 yılında Xbox 360 alarak çok doğru bir karar verdiğimi Halo 4'ü oynadığımda anlamıştım, ondan sonrada serüven başladı, 2017 yılında Xbox One S almış ve aldığım ilk 2 oyun Halo 5 ve Halo MCC idi, her Halo oyunu ayrı severim, benim için yerleri ayrıdır(ilk 2 oyun hariç, o oyunlar yaşını çok belli ediyor)

    Halo 5'i 2018 yılında bitirdiğimde devam oyunu için aşırı heyecanlanmıştım ve 2021 yılında GELDİ!!!

    Oyunu Xbox One S konsolumda oynamak beni mutlu etse de biraz'da hayal kırıklığına uğramıştım, çünkü oyun 30fps idi, FPS'ye çok takmam ancak One S'te oynadığım diğer tüm Halo oyunları 60FPS olduğu için alışmam zaman aldı, alıştığımda ise oynamayı bırakmıştım, çünkü hikayesi bir fiyasko idi.... sonra 4 ay önce aldığım Series X konsolum için grafik testi yapayım derken Halo Infinite'yi bitirmediğimi hatırladım ve "ne kaybedersin" dedim ve oynadım, bir kez daha iyi bir karar vermiştim, çünkü oyun ilerledikçe hikayesi oturuyordu ve oynanışta 60FPS'ye çıkışla birlikte harika bir hal almıştı, daha fazla anlatmak yerine incelemeye geçelim

    ARTILARI

    +One S'te bile güzel gözüken oyun

    +Her zamankinden daha iyi olan zırh özellikleri

    +Özellikle kanca eklentisi sayesinde çok daha akıcı ve heyecanlı savaşlar

    +Kötü başlayan ancak ilerledikçe tatmin edici şekilde rayına oturan hikayesi

    +Az ama öz karakterleri

    +Fena olmayan Multisi

    +Harika ve sayıca yeterli olan boss savaşları

    +Çevre tasarımı

    +Tatmin eden finali

    +Eklenen yeni silahların çoğuyla oynaması aşırı keyifli

    EKSİLERİ

    -Açık alanlarda oyun nedense çamur gibi gözüküyor, ancak iç mekanlarda özellikle ışıklandırmanın iyi kullanımıyla oyun resmen göz alıyor

    -İlk başları önceden de belirttiğim gibi, kötü...

    -Ana kötü çok kötü yazılmış

    -Son boss rezalet, resmen Halo 1'deki son boss'u kopyalamışlar(o da rezaletti)

    PUANLAMA

    81/100

    100: Mükemmel(Kusursuz)

    99-90: Harika(Kusursuz Değil ama yakın)

    89-80: Çok iyi

The open world doesn't feel empty. The Chief taking on the responsibility of spearheading the offense feels very epic. Music is situational. There is custom skill growth (skill tree). More content on the way. The enemy AI is very advanced and rewarding (if there is a challenge, they organize, garrison, arm themselves, flank you, hunt you down). Some achievements went off the scale. With ingenuity you can do very WTF things. The Weapon as an assistant is equal parts funny, naive, and absurd. The handling of textures is incredible. The draw distance is huge and they took their time to adjust to the changes in light and the different heights and levels within the ring (they don't use the cheap trick of fog or clouds). Great fun exploring the map, swinging, climbing the Towers,

    The bad:
    It annoys me that the bootleg doll aesthetic returns, discarding the “realistic” aesthetic of the Tank with legs concept. The new weapons are fine (nothing more). They didn't coddle much of the missions. More content on the way (when?). I miss some “punch” to the music. I feel like a Soft Reboot although some Prometheans are out there lost. They had said that the multiplayer could be separated from the game and they are there together on the record. Few biomes to explore.

    Lo Meh!:
    Personally, I'm tired of open worlds, I can't stand them, and it bothers me that Halo jumps on that trend just to fit in, not because I'm comfortable with it. Keeping with how much I hate open worlds it bothers me that Master Chief is the one using the grappling hook, couldn't another new character be using the grappling hook and saving the Chief? (A la Donkey Kong: Diddy's Kong Quest) because there are so many characters that use a hook that looks more like a skin of Nate Spencer (Bionic Commando) or Rico Rodriguez (Just Cause) with the Chief's suit swinging from the Zeta Halo. They forgot about Halo 5 Guardians, Perseverance Witness and the Guardians, Cadet Kelly and the blue team…    … Expand

    Halo's gun play is fantastic. the open world isn't the best, the world is a bit too empty in my opinion. The graphics are awesome, it looks very sharp on the series x and it runs buttery smooth at 60fps. The sound of the game should also be mentioned, it is awesome. The weapon sounds and the soundtrack of the game is awesome

This truly felt like a fresh start for the series by wrapping up all loose ends and laying the groundwork for the next phase of this universe, and if this is only the beginning of what they're capable of I can't wait to see where they go next.

    Played on Xbox Series X - As someone who has been a fan of Halo for a long time, I can safely say that Halo Infinite is the best Halo has been in over a decade. The gameplay in Infinite is an excellent mixture of the modern, fluent gameplay of many current FPS's, and the classic open ended, fast paced, and detailed combat of old school FPS's. The campaign in Halo Infinite is pretty goodPlayed on Xbox Series X - As someone who has been a fan of Halo for a long time, I can safely say that Halo Infinite is the best Halo has been in over a decade. The gameplay in Infinite is an excellent mixture of the modern, fluent gameplay of many current FPS's, and the classic open ended, fast paced, and detailed combat of old school FPS's. The campaign in Halo Infinite is pretty good and is certainly the most entertaining and intriguing story 343 Industries has told since taking over the Halo franchise in 2011. The gameplay, enemy variety, story, and characters in the campaign are all very good as a whole. There are problems in the campaign when it comes to level diversity, or the lack of it. Another problem I have experienced has to do with how useful most of the equipment you get throughout the campaign actually is; as I really only used the Grappleshot throughout the story, and on occasion the Threat Sensor. I also very much wish that Halo Infinites campaign had co-op at launch, but I know that it will be added to the game later down the line. Halo Infinite does feel a lot like a combination of Doom Eternal, Far Cry, and the classic Halo games. You would think that this combination would be a bit of a mess, but it works pretty well and Is very fun.

    When it comes to multiplayer, Halo Infinite is bordering on excellency. What is in Halo Infinites multiplayer is spectacular, it is what is not in it that is upsetting. As of this review there is a lack of modes in matchmaking, as well as some big problems when it comes to not being able to choose specific multiplayer modes/playlists; with players having to rely on luck much of the time if they want to get the right game mode for a challenge. Speaking of challenges, they need work. Doing challenges is the only way to level up in infinite, as the only ranking system in the game is the Battle Pass. Because everyone is going out of their way to do challenges to level up, it brakes up a matches flow and can result in some unpleasant moments in a match. This, combined with the lack of earnable customization and the heavy monetization of other customizations, is incredibly disappointing, if not infuriating.

    Over all, Halo Infinite has some big flaws, but these flaws are easily fixable. And even with these flaws the game is worth buying, it really is just that good. Heck, the multiplayer is free to play. If you are able to try the games multiplayer out, then there is no reason not to.    … 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]
