    is really the same console of Forza Horizon?
    The graphics is from from 2012.

    Honestly, a step in the right direction for 343. Sucks that it didnt come out with forge, co-op, or firefight but, in terms of gameplay and story, this is very much Halo. would give a true score of 7.5/10 but people are just lambasting this game with zeros instead of a real score.

    Halo, its finished...No I think we are just getting started.

    My favorite Campaign since the original Trilogy even though I like Reach and 4. Chiefs portrayal has never been better, the weapon is really fun and the pilot too. Play it, enjoy the multiplayer, everything will be better with time even.

    Halo infinite is more of the same old Halo. That is not a necessarily bad thing but after 5 years and 500 million dollars you would expect to see a flawless, longer game. The campaign only takes about 6-7 hours to complete and I recommend that you avoid the physical copy of this game because the disc does not come with a full version of the game.

    I enjoyed the singleplayer, it's superb and probably the best Halo singleplayer. The reason for the low score is forced crossplay in multiplayer. For that reason alone multiplayer is not fun when it's not fair.
    Will revisit Halo when coop arrives.

    This is my first time completing a Halo campaign. It’s a good-looking game. Both the interiors and exteriors look great. But that’s the best thing about it. The gameplay is sooo repetitive! Basically, go there, fight some bad guys, and push a button. Rinse & repeat over & over again!

That said it feels a bit barren and that sense of beautifully crafted purposeful levels is gone. You could even say it suffers from Ubisoft syndrome. That said it’s still pretty fun and runs great across a plethora of console and pc set ups.

    The multiplayer on the other hand honestly has little to nothing redeeming about it. Thought I must admit the core game play is great. It now a free to play like fortnite or many other current multiplayer offerings. The customization is limited , and any meaningful customization is behind agressive micro transactions, want a unique helmet for your Spartan 20 dollars. Want the color blue 10 dollars.

    There is also a battle pass you can buy but again the progression is painful and the only meaningful way of making progression on it is through doing challenges. This challenges harm the game by making it a hassle to level up your battle pass and also as a sideffect forced the game to have a limited playlist out of the users control and solely up to 343.

    Honestly I couldn’t recommend anyone purchase the physical full Price item. You gain nothing worthwhile and at malt the campaign is only worth 30 bucks.    … Expand

    Unfortunatily, didn't resist the test of time.
    The whole game feels slow and cumbersome, the campaign is yet another uninspired and rushed by-the-numbers fps that doesn't even try to stand out.
    It's halo with a new coat of paint. Nothing new, nothing earth shattering, just more of the same. Good if you like it, uninteresting if you don't.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Halo Infinites world is breathtaking and the gameplay is loads of fun. The story…..yikes. Someone made a comment that the story “could have been an e-mail” and that is the truth.

    The story can be summed up in one sentence “Master Chief experiences periodic “schizophrenic” episodes from “data” and then kills bad guy”. Most of the campaign is collecting power cores as someone whispers in your ear and Echo-216 wets himself every 5 minutes.

    It also portrays Master Chief as if he’s in some love-tangled relationship with Cortona. Like an ex-girlfriend that you can’t get over and constantly think about. Echo-216 is an empty character that brings nearly nothing to the story. I understand that his character is to provide comedic relief and humanize Master Chief, but it felt unnecessary. The Weapon “…” “……..” (if you play the campaign you’ll understand this comment).

    Overall, the story felt like it had no purpose or soul. It was average at best for a flagship game that took 6 years to develop. I’m glad I didn’t spend $60 for what could have been “an e-mail”.    … Expand

    Waiting six years for an intro making me quite disappointed. 343 just doesn't care to give the closure to reclaimer trilogy. I mean after halo 5 and halo wars 2, I expect to see blue team, red team , osiris, arbiter , spirit of fire and infinity fighting together against Cortana and banished. Instead they just keep bringing new enemy which we don't get to see in campaign.

    Not the halo experience I was expecting. The multilayer was pretty decent but got boring fast.

    Probably the best Halo campaign 343 has done but, IMO, still doesn’t quite reach the bar set by the Bungie original trilogy. Close, though. Story was decent but I probably would have been lost if I hadn’t just redone full playthroughs of Halo 1 through 5 of the month before release.

Close, though. Story was decent but I probably would have been lost if I hadn’t just redone full playthroughs of Halo 1 through 5 of the month before release. Even then, I don’t feel like they did a great job setting up the Banished or why the Elites are willingly working for Brute leadership. And I really disliked Echo-216 despite his plot twists, which made a major portion of the campaign story feel less impactful overall. The plot twist for the Weapon was predictable from five miles away, especially if you collected the audio logs along the way. The biggest problem with the story is it doesn't really go anywhere. It exists to 'fix' the silly decisions they made with Cortana in Halo 4 and Halo 5 and, by the end, essentially serves as a soft reboot for the Master Chief.

    Difficulty is all over the place. Rank-and-file enemies are easy, even on Legendary. But bosses have a difficulty spike on Heroic and Legendary that is almost in the realm of Dark Souls. Punishing unless you learn their patterns, and with a host of cheap abilities that can easily kill you if you make one mistake. The final three bosses are extremely punishing.

    I'm really torn on how I feel about the open world of the game. It's very Ubisoft-y, which is to say it's loaded with collectibles and sidequests that are only tangentially linked to the main story. The Banished High Value Targets, for example. Like other similar open world games, it becomes rote about half way in. That said, I found it less boring than actual Ubisoft open worlds, likely due to the speed of map traversal and the quick access to vehicles. On the same topic, I was a bit disappointed in the armor unlocks found throughout the world. They are mostly color schemes and a handful of weapon charms. But like the story, the open world really goes nowhere. Liberating outposts and taking over Banished outposts have no meaningful effect on the world or the game. Once you leave, enemies just respawn. The game feels like it's trying to straddle two worlds: It starts with two linear missions before dumping you out into the open world, then spends the entire third act as a linear narrative that doesn't allow you to return to the open world at all. The open world is a very shallow sandbox that feels like an afterthought.

    The campaign is riddles with bugs - from achievements that don't properly unlock, to dumb enemy AI in vehicles, frequent audio cutouts, and several instances of graphical stutter, sometimes with graphical freezes lasting a full 5+ seconds -- and this was on Series X and happened in both Performance and Quality modes.

    This game should be called what it is: Retail Early Access. Taken as a whole, including both campaign and multiplayer (because Halo has never in its history been campaign only), this game is missing a lot of features that are/were considered staples of the Halo franchise. By 343's own statements, many of these things won't be around for months. By this time next year, we'll have something resembling a complete game with campaign coop, forge, more maps, more modes, dedicated playlists, bug and server stability fixes, mission/level replay, etc. -- all things that are lacking at launch. Releasing an incomplete product and patching in major things later is becoming far too common practice from 343. They did it with Halo: MCC, Halo 5, and now Halo Infinite.

    Alas, the Halo bias is strong. If ANY OTHER game launched with this many missing features across campaign and MP, myriad bugs, missing graphical features on PC and next gen, and widespread complaints about multiplayer monetization, it wouldn't be getting 8's, 9's and 10's. In its current state I give it a solid 7 with the possibility to become a 9 over the next several months. But I can only review what we have in front of us now, and it's missing too many things, has too many bugs, to score it any higher.    … Expand

    I was in my early 20's when the first Halo launched. Playing Halo for the first time was magical and really took first-person shooters to another level. Halo Infinite creates that same feeling I had 20 years ago. I truly feel reconnected to the franchise again. Infinite gives you a new world to explore and exploration is a rewarding experience in this game. Going off the beaten path, you're sure to find easter eggs and random encounters while picking up collectibles along the way. Infinite takes the open-world experience and connects everything you do and everything you find to create a complete experience for the player. What I mean by that is that so many open-world games I've played in the past have repetitive tasks and side jobs to do in each region and often it becomes tedious and not very rewarding in the end. While there are many side tasks that are repetitive such as rescuing a group of marines, or destroying coms towers, finding audio logs, hunting high-value targets, etc. None of it feels tedious or overly repetitive. Every one of theses tasks rewards you for your efforts. Some of these tasks give you valuable information that adds color to the story, others give you upgrades to Master Chief's, weapon variants, mods to the gameplay, some unlock more vehicles or weapons you can deploy at one of the many bases in the game. Some give you cosmetic items to customize your spartan in multiplayer. Everything you do rewards you with something that will enhance your gameplay.

    This game does an amazing job of blending everything that was memorable about past halo experiences, while adding so many new things from gadgets, to vehicles to guns in an open-world setting that is so much fun to explore. My only gripe is that coop isn't available. I can already imagine how much fun it will be to team up with a friend or a group of friends and play through this open world together. It truly is a blast and anyone who wants an incredible halo experience should give this a look if you haven't already.    … Expand

My jaw was on the floor from the moment I started the campaign. All the small details, mixed with an engaging story and incredible gameplay, make this game a worthy successor to the original. True Halo fans will understand and see the love that went into this game. Is it missing features we would have liked to see at launch such as: co-op campaign and being able to replay levels? Yes, but rather than make us wait, for those excited to play the game, they launched it on Game pass for free! It isn't like when the other Halo games came out and you had to pay the full price. Sure, you can buy it, but you can always pay for a month of Game pass (which Halo Infinite alone is worth it) and get access to countless other games! Like many of you I'm getting upset with game publishers/developers releasing games that aren't finished and asking us to pay full price, but that isn't the case here!… Expand

    After playing Halo Infinite, (finished Campaign & about 80-90hrs on MP) I can say, without a doubt that it’s the best Halo ever made IMO, & it gets from me a 10 (I would've given it a 9.8 if allowed bc the campaign has some (not a lot) pop-in issues & the MP playlists aren't ideal.

The gameplay is amazing and after I finished the game on legendary now I plan to play it again for collectibles on Heroic & I am actually looking forward to play a game I just finished a second time for collectibles which trust me isn't something I do at all except with games I love (mass effect trilogy comes to mind). The story is really good and the pacing is great. You just get lost doing everything and it is always fun. The multiplayer is incredible too, and they're about to put new (and better) playlists since that was the thing they needed to fix. Do yourself a favor and play this game, use gamepass if youre not sure about it but give it a try, it is worth it!… Expand

    I think it's clear from a full playthrough that 343 intended to put a lot more into the game before things were cut and rushed, however. The lack of variety in biomes or new foes as you progress through the campaign suggests that things were severely dialled back during crunch time.

    The ending missions are particularly padded out and the amount of 'telling' rather than 'showing' in the narritive leaves it feeling a little empty. There are also a few issues with the monetisation and progression systems, and a lack of forge and modes.

    Overall, though, the gameplay itself is fantastic, and has achieved the cleansing reboot feeling we all needed. Well worth a play!    … Expand

    Si une certaine répétition peut se faire sentir, elle est rapidement compensée par des avantages, comme de nouvelles pétoires et/ou des variantes des flingues existants qui permettent de nettoyer avec encore plus d’efficacité ! le Major, déjà seigneur des anneaux, devient Monsieur Propre : avec lui, tout disparaît d’une manière ou d’une autre, notamment tous ces ennemis qui veulent le tuer (désintégrés ou explosés les **** les moyens ou les gros salopards !

    Et à ce propos, le combat a connu quelques ajustements bienvenus qui l’ont rendu beaucoup plus dynamique et puissant, endiablé et percutant ; ce n’est pas Doom certes mais ça s’en rapproche, ma foi. Les affrontements bénéficient également d’une IA très améliorée et en outre, il y a toujours quelque chose à utiliser sur le champ de bataille (aisément repérable grâce au scan inédit) : des tourelles, armes, munitions à volonté ou des véhicules qui aident grandement à botter le cul des « parias » qui contrôlent tout l’anneau.

    La campagne elle-même malgré un début mollasson et des niveaux (vers la fin) qui enchaînent un peu trop les salles (à nettoyer) s’avère très intéressante à suivre, même si la narration n’est pas toujours très claire -un défaut récurrent dans tous les scénarios de jeux vidéo, hélas. D’autant plus que bien des évènements font référence aux Halo précédents… et j’avais quasiment tout oublié de ceux-là.

    L’autre grief concerne le monde ouvert trope escarpé et vertical et ce malgré le grappin certes très utile ; la mobilité est en effet critiquable sur ce Halo… à moins de se procurer un engin volant mais ils sont rares… il aurait fallu une vraie mini-carte soit dit en passant.

    Enfin, signalons les effets sonores très réussis, la VF impeccable et les graphismes… très réussis eux aussi sur Series X, le tout en 4K/60 : c’est splendide ! Halo a donc bien évolué tout en restant… authentiquement Halo. Un beau tour de force quand on y pense avec de surcroît dans cet épisode une direction artistique tout à fait remarquable.    … Expand

I'd give the MP maybe a 7-8 currently, it would be a 10 if they went back to Reach's progression system. The Campaign though.... story wise, its great, not as good as Halo 1 or 2, but its the best halo campaign ive played in more than a decade. The open world works, I was skeptical at first, but with the implementation of the grapple hook and other abilities, it absolutely transformed what this campaign is and what it can be with some DLC's. Campaign is a 10/10, solely from a gameplay and enjoyment perspective. It's been a while to where I could actually have multiple playthroughs of a campaign, maybe since 2015 when The Witcher 3 came out. This came could potentially last years without losing much of the base if they pump out DLC's. Keep it up 343.… Expand

    Third time's a charm. It took 343 Industries three times to get it right. Halo Infinite absolutely delivers in both campaign and multi-player. It is so dang fun! Do yourself a favor and give it a try. Don't miss out on Halo's return to form!

    Great game. Gunplay and story are fantastic. I do wonder what will come next as this is supposed to be the only Halo for 10 years. Maybe we get added story content after that ending similar to how Destiny 2 works.

    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]
