There’s no denying the game has faults with customisation, the store and overall progression. The multiplayer is very bare at the minute and we all agree on that. Criticism and feedback are vital for infinite to change and the halo community have the loudest voice and the most passion in gaming. But one thing I’m happy about is that 343 is taking note, making changes and communicating very frequently which you don’t get with more than a lot of game devs.
I haven’t finished the campaign yet but it’s beautiful. The missions and environments are outstanding, it’s the first halo that’s given me the “feels” since reach Imo. They’ve done an incredible job (with what I’ve played so far) and deserve huge credit for making it feel more like the halo of old but with a next gen feel.
Already they’re adding playlists for slayer, swat, ffa and fiesta, We asked and they delivered swiftly. Ok I know they should’ve been included at launch. But the fact they acted so quick has given me lots more Hope than I had a couple weeks ago. This is the baby stage of infinite, I’m excited to see where we end up in the next few months and seasons. Honestly think this could be the best halo experience ever if they execute progression correctly and add some really good new/classic maps, vehicles and weapons.
Thank you for bringing Halo back 343

My only gripe with the campaign is that you get the a specific mission and then you can’t get back to the Open World gameplay at all for another few hours (until you’ve completed the game, which really sucks on Legendary). I didn’t have this issue but I know my partner did, she had to complete the campaign with hardly any upgrades haha,
There’s no warning or ‘no return’ message at this point either which is such a design oversight.

Yeah that is a poor design right there. Unfortunately I think I’m at that stage… hasn’t let me fast travel to a FOB for about two missions now
Not great but in all honesty I’m not too bothered with it being my first play through. Plus I’m really enjoying the story so I don’t mind firing through the missions right now lol
Campaign and Multiplayer need to be rated separately.
Campaign is 9/10 best I’ve played in a long time.
MP is good gameplay wise but BTB is terrible and the cosmetics are a pain in the -Yoink!- to deal with all the shady BS 343 is pulling.
I don’t trust 343. They have glaring issues and they ignore the community about most of the problems.
Yeah agreed. I’m almost finished with the campaign now, it’s incredible and by far the best 343 have made, it’s got a 9/10 for me too up to now. The multiplayer is a blast but I’ve noticed BTB right now is poor. Teams never seem to be full and vehicles are almost none existent apart from warthogs and wasps for whatever reason.
The cosmetics are a mess. I get that purchasing skins is “the way forward” in games now, my nephew spent £40 on skins for a game the other week and I was gobsmacked, he felt this was normal and he does it on “every game” that might be the case but this is halo. Been free to play I understand there’s going to be a shop etc, but we need to be able to earn those sets in other ways. Or the very least let us earn store credits from challenges/battle pass
