Hey sametoken :) Thanks for your incredible videos! In my opinion infinite still lacks the identity of halo. The camera for example wants to much to be like God of war, while earlier titles always wanted to be more like a really good movie with so many different camera angles. The open world (as much as I always wanted it) distracts from the story telling. Also it feels too empty and repetitive. The sandbox is pretty low. Few weapons have a real use. Same with vehicles. Hunter fights don't make fun anymore. They totally messed it up. It feels like no tactic is valuable against them because they move and turn too fast. Explosions and so many details don't feel right. But what bothers me the most is halo infinite has almost no iconic moments. They just reuse the moments and music of the old classic titles but it doesn't feel right or iconic. Oh, and banshees are useless. Completely. Anyways, I love your videos and hope you never stop making them :) Love your voice, cutting, music usage and everything what you invest into a single video. High quality content few people drop on KZbin :) I really would like to have a chat with you during an infinite session. I guess it wouldve be a huge pleasure :)

Infinite is incredible. The gameplay and story are fantastic, you truly feel like the legend of master chief. There were many tear-up moments. The new equipment and movement are so good, I don't know if I could go back and play Halos without them. Once you adopt the various equipment, I ended up using all of them constantly. Combining them makes you truly the unstoppable force of 117. Wonderful game

My only problems with the story is the underuse of the hand of Atriox and I feel like Harbinger was killed off too soon but besides that its a good story. Seeing Chief’s guilt and regret over not protecting Cortana and his relationship with the weapon and Ferdnando are excellent to watch.

Gameplay was the best in the series for me. Polished A.I., finally nailing boss fights, taking the best of every other games level design into account for the hub world, and personally I think the weapon sandbox is perfect. I'm pretty impressed with how the hub world is designed. I loved attacking bases and running off to come back from another angle only to encounter a patrol in the woods that flanked me... that's highly immersive stuff that could never have happened in the curated linear campaigns of the past. I enjoyed how the story was presented as a tasteful love letter to every other Halo game from Combat Evolved to Guardians in one way or another, but I feel like it could have done a lot more with those elements to achieve its own unique identity apart from those games. Apart from the fan service, it was a lot of the same stuff from 4 and 5, harping on memories of Cortana's origin and Chief's childhood, which I hope is laid to rest forever with this story. We skipped over a lot of interesting story only to discover it after the fact, which I'd be fine with if eventually we caught up to the story we were chasing and got to experience some big action set pieces and have Chief play a part in the conflict, but that didn't happen. I liked the relationship drama between Chief and his two newfound friends, but there was a severe lack of stakes or investment in the overarching plot of fighting the Banished... and I don't even care about the vague ancient alien threat.

I agree whole heartily with your entire comment. The moment they said the Endless were so much worse than the flood it almost immediately took me out of the story. And unfortunately the rest of the game did almost nothing to reel me back in, in that respect. The thing that had me play legendary was the impeccable combat! Which I will say may be 2nd only to CE’s legendary difficulty.

If you haven't it seen it yet, there is a fix for the Scorpion tanks handling. Make sure you toggle the Movement Assisted Steering on in your settings, Settings > Controller > Movement & Aiming. This will return it to the feel of previous Halos. Not sure why they felt this was the better default scheme.

I really do have mixed feeling about Infinite's campaign. While I definitely did enjoy playing the game, I deeply felt the emptiness of its semi-open world single biome. Classical Halo linear level structure, with their different biomes and specificities for each levels, feels miles "wider" than Infinite open but boring design. It lets the player create links and "fill in the blanks" between each different ambience, which is a very specific Sci-Fi approach that I love. I also really felt the lack of iconic vehicles moments, and Hunters completely lost their strategic importance as Halo's chess board pieces. Technically wise, Infinite is a big let-down when compared to the promises we had since Slipspace 2018 reveal trailer, from lighting/shadowing, to fx/explosions, volumetrics and dynamic weather. I did enjoy the art design, the camera work and story/narrative - even if it feels like a rushed prequel more than a stand-alone story. Let's see what future DLCs will bring. Gameplay surely is the highest peak for Infinite, with great gunplay, great sandbox additions (grapple hook above all) and amazing rythm during the fights. The only big problem here, as said before, is the astonishing lack of vehicles-driven levels/moments. A lot of people are praising the OST, to me it's neither good nor bad. I can say without a doubt I never felt the excitement Marty O'Donnel gave me (probably because there are not real iconic moments to be underlined by the soundtrack). I can definitely see potential in Infinite, but at the moment it just feels like a nostalgic coating of what Halo had been with Bungie.

What I know is that this game does not totally feel like Halo to me. It's a good game nonetheless.

All the Cortana lines made me tear up, especially the poems and her apologizing. "All space, all time, the stars, swelling, collapsing, ending, serving their longer, shorter use." "The origin of all events." "Prepare for the themes of greatness and sweetness." "Darkness has stretched it's colors, deep blue across the panes, no clouds to make night duller, no moon with it's tarnished state." "Now in this hour of waking, from under brows of stone, a new pale day is breaking and the deep night is gone, sordid now, and mean and small" "The boundless spaces of night contract, and in your opening eyes I see, night born in day, in time eternity." "Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing there is a field, I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk." "Forgive me, forgive me." "I feel certain, so I'm doing what seems the best thing to do." "You have given me the greatest possible happiness, you have been in everyway all that anyone could ever be." "I can't fight it any longer." "What I want to say is, I owe all the happiness of my life to you." "If anybody could have saved me, it would've been you." "Everything is gone from me by the certainty of your goodness." "I can't go on spoiling your life any longer."

Great video! I’m on my second play through of the campaign right now, on Legendary. I can confidently say that I adore this game. The gameplay is, in a word, satisfying. The story is heartfelt and genuine, while I do wish we were doing more in the moment, and not finding out about events already taking place. However, the Pilot, and The Weapon are not only great characters, but they’re great friends to Chief. The Banished have a somewhat tragic story, and depth to them that made them great adversaries. The Marines are wonderful companions to have as you explore and fight your way around Zeta Halo, they’re both funny, and surprisingly uplifting. One of my favorite lines of dialogue from the whole game came from a Marine just when we were traveling through the mountains, “…the difference between life and death is hope...” the grunts are also amazing and hilarious. Yeah, the game is flawed, and arguably unfinished, and unpolished in some ways. Which is frustrating because outside of that, this is an incredible experience. I’m sure down the line, a year from now, this will be a polished and near perfect game. At any rate, I love this game. Can’t wait for more Halo.

I would describe Halo Infinite as the perfect prequel. I know the initial intend of 343 was not to make a prequel,but since 2/3 of the game were cut, I hope to see them in dlcs. Like you said infinite is like a base for future halos to build on. It introduces new characters,provides more information and weight to the banished and their goals and even introduces a threat type,the endless. The story definitely feels light-hearted,not even close to the ambitious halo 2 story for example, however no halo game has matched that storytelling to date. The gameplay is near perfect, although I miss scarab fights. The narrative portrays exceptionally the fact that the UNSC lost,something different,something that only reach has done. Can't wait to see more and awesome review

Man, you talking about ransacking bases while marines watch in awe really makes me think back to Halo 1-3 days. I typically only played Legendary and didn’t care too much about the marines. My wife and I bought MCC and played through every campaign on legendary while trying to keep the marines alive this time. I had NEVER been so hyped up in my life. They acknowledge your efforts. Dome an elite and they’ll say something about it. Get a multi kill and they’ll say something about it. I feel like so much of Halo 4 was just you by yourself. I don’t remember the marines really talking to Chief much. Maybe I just did a bad job at keeping them alive. But I think Halo Infinite’s campaign really feels like the first true sequel to Halo 3 in so many ways, the marine interaction included. Its the small things like that which make you feel like a badass and encourage you to keep being a badass! Clear those optional missions because those marines are going to say some cool stuff while you do it. “One one seven in the freaking flesh!”

It did end too soon, but I think they have a lot of the story planned out. Sounds like they had to cut down how much of the story they could tell in this version we got. But I still think they did an excellent job. The Harbinger setting up for the next story they want to tell, and Escharum being a very well done villain who really isn’t just an evil guy. He’s not like the typical mustache twirling villains who is like “Yes, I want to rule the entire world because I’m evil and I like being evil.” He reminds me of a more brutal elite. Elites weren’t necessarily bad people, they were just on the other side of the war from us. Brutes in Halo 2 were shown to be pretty awful people. Escharum comes across less like the type of guy Tartarus was and more like an honorable soldier. But anyway, all that is to say I think they did tell a good contained story with Escharum while setting up for the next big story in the game.

And there you got infinite chief

This is also the first halo game ive played, not being a fan of fps games normally, I was surprised to find I loved this game, I used to watch my brother play the old games...

Halo infinite is my favorite open world game of all time, the side content being Fobs, rescuing marines and taking down HVTs feel right for the chief, weapons and Ammo being free of cost once unlocked allows experimentation, the story missions are fun and the correct length, no level is overly long like two betrayals or too short like High charity, all of the weapons feel great. Last but not least halo infinite ran good enough on my i7 1050 laptop with most graphical settings low so it really made my Christmas a lot better due to me being unable to go back home as a result of international travel Covid restrictions

The more I think about it, the more I think Infinite wasn't made by 343, but by people who grew up playing the Bungie trilogy; the kind of people who talk about the old Halos like how old men talk about their old cars. (Yes, I'm aware of the outsourcing.) I wonder if they built the Halo they remembered in their hearts, like they took a photo of it through their rose-tinted glasses, then built that game down to the last detail. I don't have any Halo nostalgia (first played with MCC on PC), but Infinite feels filtered through that nostalgia. Parts are downright magical: some remade music tracks (Through the Trees specifically) would sound almost at home in a fantasy game; maybe that's how it always sounded like to the composers. Wash, rinse, and repeat for other parts of Infinite. (Maybe Infinite is the way Halo always looked like to the asset artists/modelers, etc.) I fear that in 10 or 15 years, kids whose first videogame was Halo 4 (when they were 12) will start making Halo games. (They'd have nostalgia for *that*.) I wonder which will win out in the long run: Bungie's designs or 343's re-imagining.

I also have to agree with the poor variety of environments to explore, but I can also forgive it to some extent. Theres so much riding on this game to be a success, and I think them trying to add to the scope of the world could have made the overall game worse. They took the safer route, but I think it shows proof of concept that this type of thing is fun. But the reason I can’t fault the game when it seems like a regression in Halo’s previously diverse level design is due to the fact that we are no longer going from hallway to hallway to hallway disconnected from what’s going on. There’s essentially no more loading screens between levels. We don’t go from Cairo station to Mombasa in Halo 2, we just take a cutscene there instead. In this game, you walk between the majority of the missions. There’s almost no location in the game you can’t get to in the over world. I’ve been able to go back to specific areas (although you can’t go back inside to replay the levels sadly) later. You couldn’t do that in past games. You needed to take a cutscene spaceship or a cutscene Gravemind teleport. You couldn’t just walk back to Delta Halo after you left. So it’s a different way to play the campaign, and I think it’s a very fun way to do it as well. I’d like to see a more traditional Halo story sometime, but I do still want to see more of this open world now. I can only hope they vary up the landscapes and add weather effects.

Your comment pretty much sums up my feelings on the whole “environment diversity” debate. I see a lot of people dunking on the game because it lacks different biomes, but I feel that’s an unfair criticism because most of the time it compares it to previous games which were WAAAY more different in design. Also, lack of biomes isn’t the same as bad game. Batman Arkham City and Knight are fantastic games yet both feature the same-y city environment through and through. People should criticize the game for what it is, not what they want it to be. Would different biomes be beneficial? Perhaps. But that’s not what Halo Infinite was striving for.

@@juantsu2000 yeah exactly. People don’t realize how hard it is to make an open world game with unique biomes. Like try to imagine Halo 2’s campaign as open world. How do you go from Cairo Station to New Mombasa to Delta Halo without making them separate locked off areas?

Loved it but now that I've finished the campaign and found nearly every item I find there's nothing more to do until next season. I find myself wandering around aimlessly since there's nothing more to achieve. The map isn't small but it FEELS small because the landscapes are the same everywhere you go. I would've loved to see different environment types around the map. Also, the glitches are plentiful. I could fill a KZbin channel with all my screen clips....In fact, maybe I'll start. Stay tuned

After playing it on both heroic and legendary, I'd say semi open world is not Halo's strongest suit, it was fun as a sandbox to do silly things but for the story it damages the progression to some extent, and personally being burnt out by Ubisoft games with this same open world to do checklist, it wasn't an exciting thing to see, that being said, at least here it didn't over stay it's welcome, it wasn't too many things to find, audio logs and propaganda towers aside. As many have previously mentioned the lack of biomes hurt the game as well, not to mention there's a chunk of the map you can't explore, which is the same disappointment I felt from Cyberpunk 2077 to find out there were parts of the map you can't explore. The story was short( Counting only main story missions, not exploration.) But was interesting enough and enjoyable, the emotional moments in this one were something I missed from Halo 4, which showed Chief's human side, something I hope they keep pushing for, but there's a lot of loose threads, we need something that fills the gap between the 6 months Chief was down for sure. All that being said, what this game did deliver on really well, is the promise for an exciting new adventure with chief, just like Halo CE, Halo Infinite is the prequel to something bigger down the road, let us hope 343 pushes for a bigger and more complex story down the road, with more characters to meet and more mysteries to discover and hopefully new factions to fight against, as fun as the jackals, grunts, elites and brutes are to shoot at, after so many games it does get a bit old.

I have played and beat the game on NORMAL twice already. It is true that the AI learns from you and it is able to almost predict your actions or reactions. So the boss fights were not always the same and I got my a$$ kicked multiple times. Even when I knew how to beat the boss, the system put up an awesome fight. That and my ego wouldn't allow me to leave a fight unfought!. Great job 343 I am hooked yet again on a great Halo game.

Unfortunately, it's not actually an open-world, the 343 Developers publicly said it's not an open world but a Sandbox. I'm a little disappointed at the lack of terrain, the shortness and repetition of the campaign and the lack of change of scenery. I had such high hopes, but was hoping for so much more playability. I'm still playing cyberpunk a year later doing side quests and exploring. I've done literally every single thing there is to do in infinite campaign and it's depressingly barren now.
