I'm so torn because on one hand it plays great, but then the monetization slaps me across the face. There's no progression outside the battlepass. There's no worthwile unlockables outside the battlepass.

I think the main point of the “open world” was to give players a chance to take in the beauty of a halo ring. Trying to get back to the big vast mysterious feeling you get from stepping onto a halo ring for the first time. I actually didn’t mind the open world. I loved slowing down my pace of play just to take in everything

[@thunderlifestudios]

I think that misses the point. If you look at Halo 3, it's set peices really benefited from their variety and scope, you could appreciate the beauty of whatever you were on without it being open world, would have preferred a more "metro exodus" type open world.

[@CrazyMonk3y59]

The Disruptor is a lot more useful than people think. After landing 3 hits, it'll apply a DoT to the enemy that arcs to other nearby enemies. 6 hits is a guaranteed kill. I believe the arcing DoT can also disable vehicles, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Edit: I was wrong on the arcing disabling vehicles. You can disable vehicles, but it requires 7 direct hits. Also applying the DoT with 3 hits also disables the enemy's shield regen for 10 seconds, leaving them vulnerable. Edit 2: The DoT will also prevent enemies from scoping on with their weapons. This will also affect enemies hit by the arcing damage. Last Edit: Some people have mentioned it takes more than 6 shots for a guaranteed kill, so I tested last night and can confirm it seems like it takes 8 now, so it looks like they've nerfed it recently. So while it still lives up to it's namesake, it doesn't have as much killing potential.

[@whyiwakeup6460]

A way to solve the “boring open-world” is to basically not set a waypoint to your objective, and just use vehicles or certain equipment just to move around the world in a unique way. You will not have fun just wasting away, going from a to b to c to d to e etc. just by speeding through areas with the grapple shot.

@@stephencurry4835 I mean you're right but I still thought the open world made that mission worse. There wasn't a lot directly on the path, and that mission came affectively straight after the B-Plot of the campaign began to really speed up, so as a result of that, and effectively having as much of the open world done as I was going to want to do (it was my goal the whole time to unlock the wasp). And maybe more to the point, they just wouldn't have had you know, 4 spires with the exact same objective, copy pasted, if it wasn't open world. To me, that section of the game was kind of like the mission Forerunner in Halo 4, and I don't know, the lower amount of repeats, and the sort of curated linear setpieces in that mission made it far better imo.

@@LoganPerplexx Bungie Halo is Halo 1, 2, 3, ODST, and Reach. Those games are what people call “classic”, and the people who developed those games are Bungie. 4 and 5 were made by 343, and they didn’t feel like the older Halos. Infinite does.

It’s definitely a different type of open world. Shadow of the Colossus is one of the best games ever and it’s open world is empty aside from the bosses. I’m not saying Infinite is on that level (I haven’t even played it) but I also think that it’s okay for an open world to be barren as long as the actual world is interesting and inviting to explore which I feel is the case here.

When you say the game is repetitive and explain how the capturing of outposts and rescuing marines works it sounds really boring but when you actually play the game it’s fun as fuck. You never know how things will go, espically on the harder difficulties. They could go great and nobody dies, or you could die multiple times to a sniper jackal and a suicide grunt that you never knew existed. The open world is full of tons of secrets and marine hideouts and it’s evident the developers put a lot of love into making it, if you just explore you’ll know what I’m talking about quickly, the detail is insane.

Not without it's issues, definitely needs more maps and gamemodes, the ability to decide what gamemodes you want to play, some tweaks to the UI and of course, more ways to earn cosmetics besides paying for them(although I don't really care about cosmetics so eh). Overall though, in turns of the actual game itself, I'm having as much fun playing as when I was a kid playing 3 and reach with my friends online.

[@mjohnsimon1337]

To unlock everything in Season 1, and assuming you have the season bundle, you would need to play the game every day and level up every day for 100 days straight. Granted, you get a guaranteed 1000XP (which is a full level) for the first 6 matches of the day and some of the Challenges are generous with their XP payouts, but that's still at least ~600 matches you need to play *just* for Season 1. With each match ending at around 10 minutes, that's over 100 hours required. The fact that they expect that we do this all over again for Season 2 is crazy.

RE: Threat Sensor, I didn't understand until playing through the campaign that it's designed as a hard counter to the active camo. So it has limited usefulness, but within its niche (also good for watching objectives i.e. CTF) it's very powerful Pretty spot-on review overall though

After 3 days, I just finished my first run through of the campaign on Legendary. As much as I love being the badass invincible super soldier in Normal/Heroic, Legendary is really well tuned to make you think about each engagement and use all of your equipment to the fullest. I think thats part of why I didn’t get bored with the “open world” portion because 70% of all encounters made you think- especially the HVTs. Or, if you just aren’t feeling it, cheese-out with a razorback full of marines. It’s not perfect today, but it makes me very optimistic about the future of the platform (as a live service) and the franchise as a whole.
