Indisputable Proof That Halo: Infinite Is Hot Trash (Real Life Review)

💥 Unleash chaos in Wanted: Dead with up to 50% off NOW: bit.ly/wanteddead-renns
When Halo Infinite came out 2 years ago I had no desire to review it, the game itself was so bad that it made me genuinely consider quitting reviewing videogames altogether, sending me even deeper into a pre-existing depression. For 2 years I didn't review any videogames on this channel. A couple months back I finally reviewed Far Cry 6, which proved to me that I was finally ready to hop back into the saddle and continue reviewing videogames. So I finally buckled down and reviewed Halo: Infinite.

[@budthecyborg4575]

Damn straight the Grappling Hook is the savior of humanity. For the past 20 years I've been saying every game needs a grappling hook and Halo Infinite is one of the greatest games of all time if only for this reason. Any game that doesn't have a grappling hook feels dumb and stupid, if grappling hooks ever become a mindless industry fad I will give 100% support to that fad. Animal Crossing with Grappling Hook? Yes please. Gran Turismo with a Grappling Hook? Absolutely. Chess, but all the pieces have grappling hooks, would be the first time in a thousand years that something better than the original Chess was created.

A large portion of people want to experience Halo for the main story and that's where they should expect it to be contained.

Tbh I've always felt like the positive response around the campaign of infinite was a big cope to lack of content in general. I mean basically nothing happens, the big villain dies off screen, and you're last second introduced to some new threat and it's over. I Guess when you've been given what 343 gives you you think the scrapings of the bottom of the barrel is something to behold.

[@piotr78]

That's exactly it. It's just very very bland and forgettable. Understandably that's seen as a win when former 343 outings were more openly insultingly bad. I think bland is one of the worst things halo can be though

[@damsen978]

And the same environment, no scary sections, no snowy sections, it's just forerunner stuff and grass.

[@dahalofreeek]

I think the campaign seemed good until it ended with nothing discernable happening in it.

[@personman5156]

to me the campaign was good, not because of the story (it was bad) but because of the environments and gameplay. It felt tactical to me, like Halo was meant to be, and the enemies, guns, and vehicles were more fun than most AAA games I've played in the last decade. I should say though, I didn't grow up with Halo games, I only got into them as an adult a few years ago, so I don't really have a personal issue with 343 the way most Halo fans do. I understand what they've done it just doesn't really strike that same chord.

[@Dimebag-wx2rs]

The campaign was incredibly fun imo. The story was generally whatever

[@AustinH7]

I’m glad you picked apart the campaign. Basically every reviewer and person would just say “the campaign is fun, but multiplayer is bad”. Which I thought was such a cop out. The campaign absolutely sucks.

[@Gofaw]

i think people played the first few sections of the campaign, saw the combat was pretty good and called it a day. The worst thing about the campaign imo is that literally nothing happens. The narrative doesn't move an inch from beginning to end

[@SentinelEx]

Yeah a lot of gamers were being optimistic at the time. But I'm glad most are finally realizing how disappointing the game really is.

[@nagger8216]

​@@SentinelExLiterally the only thing 343 absolutely *had* to do was just release a part 2 to the campaign along with Forge and that would have satisfied the player base for at least a year, and 343 couldn't even do that. The fact it seems like they're doing nothing but sitting on their asses makes the game feel even more dead than it probably is. It's like the game came out 10 years ago and the devs have long moved on, but no, it's only been a couple years. That depressing, empty feeling you get whenever you're Forging on a popular map like Valhalla by yourself, is the same feeling the entirety of Infinite has.

[@alexanderrobins7497]

The campaign was sequel baiting after the first few missions. Imagine if Halo 1 talked about The Flood for 80% of the game without ever showing them. Also why do the Banished want to kill humans? In Halo 1 I accepted it because we never got their point of view. In Halo 2 we got their point of view and learned the Covenant is based on some major misinterpretations. But in Infinite, we get their points of views which was good, but their motivations and purposes felt one dimensional or non-existent.

[@Gofaw]

@@alexanderrobins7497 343 doesnt have the creativity to make an interesting enemy, all they can do is make a thousand covenant splinter factions

[@Unprotected1232]

The additional irony is that 343 Industries added ray traced shadows but only to the multi-player, not the campaign which needs it the most. I mean what kind of sweatlord would play the multi-player with ray tracing? That's just an additional performance penalty.

@@300kz3 Hear hear. I’m not quite sure how Frank O’Connor’s “filthy mitts on the creative director position” as Britton said, justifies why the direction of rampancy in Halo’s definition is so weird of a direction to take- especially since it’s been a consistent device expressed in the books and other media. I don’t expressly hate 343i in the direction they took either. There could’ve been a crapload of other studios that would have either ran it into the ground like the TV show, or ascended it beyond expectations. Seems we got the middleman in this timeline and I’m not at all complaining. It’s more or less just odd that Infinite gets the mark of “the downfall” of Halo as a continuing series- as if the devs could care less about the universe they’re currently maintaining. Compared to the pre-alpha build of Infinite? They’ve come far and can certainly go farther.

Seems a bit odd because some of the best moments from 3 were those large open areas where you had these boss fights with Scarabs, and uh, well an open world just sounds obvious for including them. Seeing them wandering around in the distance, climbing up walls, attacking marines. I mean, can you imagine using a grappling hook to climb a scarab and take it down? That sounds pretty damn awesome to me on some Shadow of the Colossus stuff. Hell, their original purpose in the Covenant was for mining purposes, so maybe you hear or see them doing just that. They're also made of worms like the Hunters are so some cool events around that might be interesting, like forming together to make some large worm beast you hear burrowing underground occasionally popping up and fighting back. I'd also like the same with Drones, maybe make the sky go darker? Like the sheer amount is blocking out the light a bit and have swarms attack both you and the banished? Both of those would make for pretty interesting open-world encounters while changing up the gameplay.

SERIOUSLY: How does: The Original Halo Combat Evolved, on the OG Xbox have some of the best A.i. -As well as the Left 4 Dead games. I love the way they arranged the weapons/gameplay/maps. It's so well thought out. You can couch co-op, party play. Co-op the campaign. It leaves room for goofing around, while equally allowing for a test of skills. The maps are unique compared to other games. The campaign is great, in Halo CE there's the flood, & L4D2 has super creative campaign maps, unique AI, complex AI behavior, gathering of ammo, health packs, The way they built it so you start out with base weapons and each player has to go around the map to aquire weapons during gameplay, really creates a awesome structure to how the game is played. +The A.I. is by far the BEST A.I. It's so interesting to go up against the enemies in this game. The enemies have such diverse dynamic behavior and reaction responsiveness. Not just enemies, but your own soldier's that team up with you in both L4D2 & Halo CE. The AI will actively drive vehicle's in the story mode, & fight alongside you as you go. It really adds depth to the campaign mode and just so much Fun. Timeless Fun. The level of customization of game modes is like nothing we have today. You could Customize your own personal character in Halo (for free). You could make your own game modes. You could make Serious game modes or dork around game modes or just all out crazy Overpowered madness game modes. Sheilds, & cloak abilities. I absolutely LOVE when a game can do this and it's the exact reason why I still own and play the OG versions on a old school original Xbox as well as a Xbox 360. (I haven't gotten a Xbox system after the 360. That era was the peak in my opinion) I dont get how xbox & other game companies are putting in so much money into games yet nothing has come close to the utter interactive magic that L4D2 & Halo CE created & that was with limited hardware/software/tech capabilities. We should be able to create some amaxing things nowadays..

[@mickieg1994]

One of my biggest issues with the game was the complete lack of depth in the world, there is no development other than the surface level and there never will be. The open world can provide tonnes of possibilities for gameplay, saving squads of marines, should spawn missions where those same units that you saved are aiding the war effort, rng will determine their success without your help and every soldier saved should matter, maybe even being able to call them in to reinforce and secure positions, setting up little bases with unique benefits for each one, then having you make the choice of which benefits are worth having. Find a powerful vehicle in the wild? Drive it back to your main base and it will spawn there now, your men will take them into combat and give them an edge in taking over the map, without your necessary interaction with them. There are just more misses than hits in this game and it's a real shame, a tighter more scripted series of open areas, linked together by the narrative would be far more effective, both in story telling and gameplay than the bland open world we got.
