the campaign is in my eye’s worth to pay for it since you can do a lot off crazy things in the campaign.
since you can defeat boss on a lot off diffrend crazy way’s more like a coil pile bomb to blast then away.
there are a lot off diffrend crazy things you can do.
the only problem is after you compleet the 14 missions and have also a 100% compleet save file it gets more boring after that.
since after you compleet the 14 missions there is almost notting to do any more.
but if there release the Co-Op the level off doing crazy things in the campaign mode reach then a new level more.
Personally I’m really disappointed with it, didn’t enjoy the campaign at all but was mostly interested in the multiplayer.
What disappoints me most is I held off playing it until they added Free for All Slayer (my favourite game type). Then when I started playing they removed it in season 2.
I absolutely hate that I now have to choose Rumble Pit and play loads of games I don’t enjoy. It made me stop playing.
No, the campaign is honestly crap. The “exploration” consists of you scanning over each piece of land looking for their absentmindedly placed “secrets” and in search of extremely samey FOBs or purple bases (already forgot what they are).
Every encounter in this game is as if an extremely tiny and undifficult wave of enemies spawned in firefight. Most of the world is barren, empty, lifeless, and boring. You scan for miles in this game and see tons of places that would be nice for a secret/event/literally any content, but in reality, they were just procedurally generated and touched up after. The levels are all corridor shooters with hardly any variation for the entire game. You’re either in a banished base, a forunner corridor, or out in a barren green wasteland with hardly any trees, enemies, unique encounters, a proper night, or fun whatsoever.
It was honestly a waste of my 20 hours. Better spent in games with devs that actually know how to make an open world feel interesting.
I play like this and find that Halo Infinite is perfect for this kind of playstyle. Approx an hour a day and if feels like I’ve progressed enough and played enough (and popping a double exp boost maximises that hour of gameplay).
If you casually play the game every once in a while, it’s really fun. The gameplay is fantastic but the optimization and lack of content is ridiculous. SBMM is also broken.
Big Daddy Nero Stated: The unreal engine 5 wasn’t open for developer use until the game was almost released. That makes absolutely no sense.
Make sense to me! If it were up to me I would have remade it in Unreal 5. There are people out do there are doing just that for Halo Infinite with FORGE Right Now!!!
That video has literally nothing to do with forge.
Again, the tools for devs to make games in unreal was only recently released and games like Halo Infinite we’re too far into development to warrant using another engine. If it were up to you, and If they decided to switch engines, they’d still be making the game to this very day.
That video, I’ll restate, has nothing to do with forge and was simply made after the dev tools were RECENTLY released. You can’t just expect them to snap their fingers and abide by your wishes. These things aren’t easy to do.
It’s half a shtick. The emojis are to style the post like how the community manager Unyshek uses them.
I agree that the Unreal Engine 5 argument is baseless. You made a great point about how it wasn’t available when development started. The demo video isn’t of a wide open space and doesn’t have AI running in the background. One of the target goals for Halo: Infinite was that it would run on the base Xbox One at 30 fps. That requires a lot of optimization and visual balancing if you also want the game to be an appealing next gen game.
The engine that Halo: Infinite runs on is not the root cause of why the game is the way it is. Management put the game through development hell where old work got thrown out and redone. Possibly multiple times on a large scale.
Core gameplay is great. The weapons for the most part handle well (probably just need some more variety). The equipment is awesome fun.
Content is sorely lacking. Needs some more game types. Definitely needs more maps.
The main problems are desync (seems to affect different people differently - but reduces peoples confidence in the game), a lack of an XP progression rank, no Forge, and that map count.
Hopefully Forge steadies the ship.
As for “sweating”. That is up to you. There is SBMM across the board. And the lower population is creating some havoc with team balancing. There are still some fun, close, games to be had.
Infinite can be a ton of fun. The heart of the game is brilliant IMO- 343i hadn’t ever come anywhere near this close to recapturing the pure, central fun factor or Halo before. Between throwable fusion coils and the grappleshot, they also made two of the most fun sandbox additions that the series has ever seen. The art direction is gorgeous, and I love the armor designs. High praise is deserved for all of that, IMO.
But it’s riddled with unevenness in quality of online matches (both in terms of the Skilled Based Matchmaking system providing uneven and bad matches, and the technical performance being a coin toss on a match to match basis) and several bad design decisions around monetization, player engagement and progression that severely weigh it down. It’s actively frustrating on a week to week basis playing the game, even though I love a lot about it, because of all of these issues.
Depends what you mean. The game has a great foundation. Campaign is great. You can definitely have a good time in multiplayer. BUT there are definitely issues you will likely notice even when only playing for an hour or so. Desync will likely ruin some gunfights/entire games at somepoint during your playtime. The matchmaking is bad so a lot of games can feel sweaty, your ping may be constantly 120+ in some games, social modes dont feel very different to ranked, etc.
TLDR: If the matchmaking and desync is improved then for someone only looking to play an hour or so at a time will probably have fun with this game (even with the lack of content, bad customization, etc.)
Oh ok!
