    Halo Infinite captures the magic many thought to have been lost and it shows that 343i is indeed worthy of taking the mantle and carry the series forward.

    Halo Infinite captures the magic many thought to have been lost and it shows that 343i is indeed worthy of taking the mantle and carry the series forward.

    Pros:
    +Amazing performances & great dialogue
    +Beautiful graphics & soundtrack
    +Great story that doesn't simply gloss over the previous title's narrative
    +New protagonists & villains were very interesting
    +The new character upgrades you unlock feel great
    +Combat is the best in the series
    +A.I. keeps you on your toes
    +Boss fights were for the most part challenging & fun
    +Weapons all feel great to use & have their own feel to them
    +Very polished experience

    Cons:
    -The side activities started to get a bit boring by the end
    -Lack of different environments
    -Lack of different types of side activities
    -No need to use the different upgrades besides the grappling hook
    -Vehicles felt a bit too weak
    -A few bosses used one to two shot weapons in tight corridors making the fights frustrating on higher difficulties

    Overall, Halo Infinite has a gameplay formula that feels the best the series has ever seen, complimented by a wonderful narrative that seeks to wrap up the more personal Master Chief and Cortana storyline that started back in Halo 4, all while waging war against the Banished, leading up to spectacular moments.
    It is, undoubtedly, worth picking up, specially if you've been following the series since the beginning.

    Bom jogo de tiro, o melhor dentre os halos. Gráfico bonito, jogabilidade excelente (pra mim o diferencial), e uma história muito boa e bem contada. O defeito que eu encontrei foi a repetitividade de inimigos e cenários, de um jogo desse tamanho e importância eu esperava um pouco mais.

    Campaign is good and enemies are smart so it never get's boring. The map is awesome and not complicated to navigate in, even though it's large.

    Halo Infinite reinvigorates and innovates the franchise with a breathtaking, detailed open world, a variety of upgrades, with a ton of development and growth from Master Chief.

    As soon as I started playing, I couldn't help but smile. Halo was one of the first games I played on my first ever game console, the Xbox 360, back in 2013. Now, playing this, I couldn't help but think back on the good ole times. This is definitely fan service at its finest.

    GAMEPLAY
    The gameplay is action-packed, wild, fun, and innovative. I love running around hitting the enemy with the butt of my gun and firing every last shot into them, praying to God, I don't die or run out of ammo.
    The side-objectives consist of going in, blowing **** up, hitting button, and getting out. And this repeats. Another variant of side-objectives is the FOBs, kill all Banished, hit a button, your done. This also repeats. In other words, the side-objectives are repetitive, but can be fun. I just wish they would've switched it up a bit for every objective.

    NARRATIVE
    Master Chief gets a lot of growth as a character, and I'm proud to say that I care for the Chief.
    Atriox is a memorable name, but as a villain, his character sucks; he's not fleshed out enough, his motives are unclear, and I really couldn't tell you anything about him besides he sounds like a demon and looks like he's out of Planet of the Apes. Hopefully, in the next installment, his character can be saved, by giving us his backstory, his motives, and really expand on and go in-depth with his character, because we certainly don't see that here.
    The Weapon is a sweet and loveable replacement of Cortana. I actually enjoyed her more than Cortana, and I definitely want to see more of and see their relationship expand in the next installment.
    The Pilot shows nothing but emotion.. Him and Master Chief's friendship evolves throughout the game, and again, I'd love to see more of this and it be expanded upon in the next installment.
    We expand on the deletion of Cortana, why she was deleted, and it haunting Master Chief, and also causing him trust issues.
    All around, the story is alright. It's a little shallow in some areas than others, but other than that, that's about it.

    MULTIPLAYER
    The MP is very, very addictingly fun. It's action-packed, it's wild, it can get crazy, and YOU CAN **** TEABAG **** Though, it's lacking content; such as Forge and Co-Op. Also lacking on modes and maps, which I hope to see more of in the next content drop.

The only one I did was battlefield 2042 because it absolutely deserved the criticism. However, just like with the really bad I need to do reviews on games that are also really good and that's where Halo comes in. With the travestys for shooters this year in call of duty and battlefield, Halo stands alone as the only sucessful multiplayer shooter of this year. The multiplayer is fun, fast paced and well balanced, with new equipment and weapons that fit in perfectly. The campaign is awesome with 343's transition to a action rpg style campaign with an open world payed off big time. There's a ton of content to explore with a great story and good lore as well and I might argue its one of the best Halo campaigns to date. With the let downs that were Halo 4 and Halo 5 I wasn't sure if 343 would be able to get Halo back to the standard of the Bungie titles. 343, your third attempt was a success and Halo Infinite stands with the best Halo titles that were made. The game is a 9 because of minor issues like xp progression and a lack of playlists but im sure that will get fixed and added along the way. Halo Infinite is what a AAA title should be and it's free, obviously I recommend that anyone should play it.

    Edit: I had to come back and lower the score. After going through the campaign, the faluts of Halo Infinte come to light. Halo Infinte multiplayer runs out of content fast to keep you come back and playing 343 did fail in an area of this game and thats as a live service game that they promoted on being. The campaign is still a must play and I would still give the campaign a 9 out of 10. The multiplayer, however, I lower to a 6 out of 10, you will have some fun for a little while but then the content becomes dry and theres no reason to come back.

It doesn't matter how much a Dev Team is communicating with its community or if the road map is 1,000% flawless.. when the internet has it out for you it's going to get you no matter what you do! So for whoever reads this just pick the game up and buy it or download it from Game pass it's your choice.. it's a good game, it's a great game and it has a long life of content ahead of it.. just don't pay attention to these toxic trolls out here, it's all about how the game makes you feel.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's simply the best Halo that you can play right now, the only serius problem it's the battlepass leveling (BUT 343 is working on it), the multiplayer feels really balanced since there's some "Nerfs" to the guns as the centinel beam (0 or almost 0 recoil in campaing but in multiplayer it got quite); The art of the game it's trully the Best of both sides, the classic art from Bungie and new one from 343 it's at it's point; Now the Campaign, it just got insane, the semi-open world was just something that brings back that halo 3 ODST but in a f*cking big scale that the game can handle, the history it's just great how gives you some lore that only had apeared in the books as well how the they developed Master Chief in this game it's good, he feels more human in this entry; also about the campaign the AI from enemies was great, I played it on normal BUT there's some points in the game when you feel that the Game its a challenge in random points and boss battles, as well the ending feels that it isnt enough I remind myself there will be story expansions for quite a time so it felt more like a cliffhanger to know more about how did Atriox die, who will lead the banished now and WHAT ITS SO DANGEROUS that made the flood look like a minor problem. So thats it almost a 10/10 (for me) where the only mistakes are some lack of content at launch and XP leveling, but it didn't take away all the fun and frenetic action the game it's capable to give, so give it a chance and enjoy the exploring the ring, but BEWARE THIS RING ISNT AS THE OTHERS...

    Fun gameplay, excellent graphics, good story, the ring is beautiful, AI are competent, the audio and sounds are wonderful. That's Halo Infinite. The only bad thing is the difficulty, only that. Really must play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tbh this game is getting a bad rap right now from fake reviewers (aka salty Sony Ponies) and their bombing on this site. Like, seriously there are real things to criticise with this game but barley anyone gives out an honest and fair review, sad really.

    So far i'm really enjoying myself in both the linear missions and open world areas, calling this map "Ubisoft-like" would be really dishonest. FOBs, Outposts, collectibles are all much more dynamic and interesting to play through thanks to Infinite's Ai and sandbox. Every encounter is different due to enemy placement and objectives, it's all really engaging. Best part is that you can fight through them however you want, you can break through the base with a tank or pepper enemies from the sky with the Wasp. Or you can sneak in behind and catch the enemy by surprise. It's all up to you. The gameplay is solid, very responsive and fluid, weapons that are garbage in multiplayer are amazing in campaign (Pulse carbine and Ravager). Equipment is amazing, grapple hook steals the show as always, cant say much more that hasn't already been said. There are many fun weapon variants to toy around with in the open world. Buuuuuuut, the lack of unique biomes was a huge punch in the gut for me. Don't get me wrong the game is beautiful (defo isn't the best looking next-gen game as its cross-gen but it still looks great imo) but i would've loved a snow area or a swamp biome to break up the same-y woodland aesthetic.

    Bosses? Decent. Halo has never had a good history when it comes to boss fights but Infinite seems to get it right for the first time in series history. They aren’t bullet sponges, you can destroy them with the right strategy and weaponry and i wouldn't have it any other way. They all act completely different from one another and offer unique challenges (Chak-Lok and his invisibility, Tremonius and his jet pack ect).

    Story? So far i'm enjoying it, not nearly as perfect as Halo 2 but its serviceable, i love The Weapon and The Pilot as characters right now. Chief is a complete badass, his one liners are perfect, harkening back to Halo 2s awesome Master Chief moments. However, i'm really disappointed in the fact that (spoiler) Atriox died....OFF SCREEN!!!!!! Like damn man you give us that awesome cutscene between him and Chief in the beginning but you don't give us more????? Uggh i was so mad when i heard the brutes talking about his death. Cutscenes are high quality and voice acting is perfect, Jen Taylor you are a treasure!!! Esharum so far is a decent antagonist, i love his friendly rivalry with the Chief. He has a mutual respect for him and lives for combat, like he is pumped to finally have a purpose again. Esharum has been been War Chiefton of The Banished but ever since he won against the UNSC he's just been so bored and feels empty because of it. I like that concept for a villain, especially for a brute.

    Bugs? Very few. Only crashed once. Fairly stable.

    I'm only about 7 hours into the campaign and so far it far been a very enjoyable experience. Opening sequence is breathtaking and really sets the tone for the rest of the game. Open world experience alongside the grappleshot gives limitless opportunities to explore and feels like an extension of Halo 1 in the best ways possible.

    Multiplayer feels like a direct sequel to Halo 3 along side new equipment types that feel balanced. Ranked play can feel sweaty at times but I enjoy these games as my adrenaline spikes when in Battle Riffle duels. Quick play and Big team battle are also fun modes when not wanting to try so hard.

    Additional Wants
    - Different MP modes
    - Campaign Co-op
    - New MP maps
    - Forge

    I give it a 9 as the game sits right now. Once additional content comes out, I can see this game getting a solid 10/10 from me. Excited for the future of Halo!

One of the first missions dear God the environment for me was breath taking bc I LOVE that kind of dark mysterious thunder type environments. Also the fact i could jump to any one of the platforms has made it my most immersed, and beautiful moment in history. It's even better than coming out the tunnel in ce when under cover of night starts playing its just so amazing.Well I can say some of the levels started to get repetitive and at moment's I found myself less exploring each room because it was the same thing, the combat and ce vibes mad me appreciate the repetitive levels from ce and memories so. Now gameplay, yeah just like all the youtubers who got early access said, this game has the best sandbox ever in a halo game. It is so much fun is practically hard to explain if you haven't played like Jesus. U played on legendary and I had to use all equipment but God it was so fun. Legendary is like halo 2 hard buts it's a little close especially in some areas. Some of these areas you seriously need co-op. Boss fights man soooooooo much fun. There is one boss fight that's just dumb easy. But man each boss was like built up to. It was one boss fights I feel like was just there to be there for filler but it was fun. One of the boss fights had this one music and mannnnn it is my favorite song in infinite like it was like a Arcadian type of halo mix and man it was so addicting, bc it fit the difficulty. Now all and all if this game had different biomes it would be my favorite halo ever. But sadly it doesn't and the world doesn't feel as refresh as say odst or halo ce. Amazing game tho and planning on spending alot of time into campaign alone. I was never a multiplayer guy I was always the campaign and always replayed the campaigns mire so coming from in my opinion a terrible infinite multiplayer, me as a campaign fan glad they did an outstanding job in the campaign. 343 has gave me joy in my trash life rn so I cannot thank them enough.

    sprawling open world gameplay from the halo series mixes well, extending the game-time and being able to implement world-impacting changes that you have caused instead of going from linear level to level. very rewarding to players who decide to do the side-content, though i wish there was more to do. also, the people who are review bombing this are very entitled.

More campaign and more MO content will continue to be made and added. So my main issue right now is the monetization and the battle pass. Both from the MP, but those too will be fixed. 343 really did an amazing job bringing back Halo and making it new, while respecting its roots. I've been playing it everyday and have been loving every second of it. Honestly, if 344/3 keeps their work on their planned content, this game might be 10/10 by EOY next year! Expand

    Halo Infinite is a fresh return to the series roots with plenty of improvements that really make it feel like a successor to the original Halo trilogy.

EveryHalo Infinite is a fresh return to the series roots with plenty of improvements that really make it feel like a successor to the original Halo trilogy. The gunplay is fantastic and feels fulfilling, the open world space is not just the backdrop to a few select hubs, but an actual living world that feels alive with squads and troops from both the Banished and the UNSC on patrol. Every outpost and base captured is unique and has been designed to serve a tangible purpose and relate to the story (rather than a somewhat expected "You must capture X outposts for some arbitrary reason). The characters are solid and the Banished are a worthy successor as the enemy of Humanity and the Master Chief. The only issue I have with the Campaign is the apparent poor optimisation on the PC. I have a rig more than capable of running the game, however I get frames sometimes in the 30s on medium graphics.

    The multiplayer is a rough diamond, but the core of the experience is 10/10. Gunfights feel engaging, with the new equipment serving as a great way to raise the skill ceiling while keeping the skill floor relatively low. The maps are well-crafted and visually stunning, though the environments don't feel as varied as they could be. Fundamentally, it's a very fun experience and reminds me a lot of Halo 3, my personal favourite instalment of Halo multiplayer.

    My biggest gripe with Multiplayer, as is shared by many others, is the lack of options regarding game modes and playlists. Objective and Slayer are no longer separate playlists, which can be pretty frustrating if you just want to chill out and shoot the enemy team without worrying about playing the objective. The MTX implementation is also downright ridiculous and not very consumer-friendly, but it can easily be ignored without impacting the core experience of the gameplay.

    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]
