The main problem I had with the halo infinite flight was that the badges felt so bland. You look back at previous games like Halo Reach and Halo 3 and you have these vibrant icons that felt more like medals. Halo Reach had this wear and tear on them that made them feel like badges you would earn in battle. The medals in Halo Infinite just give the impression that they are stickers more than anything.
For example, in Halo Reach the multikill medals were different colors and had more details in them. Halo Infinite, the multikill medals only have an additional star in the center. This just feels so bland and getting multikills really doesn’t feel that impressive anymore. The way I identify these badges is from the color schemes at a quick glance. I don’t want to count the amount of stars on the badge when I get it.
Another example is the killstreak medals. Looking back at other games, even if there wasn’t as much variation compared to the multikill badges, there was at least some. From what I saw in the flight, the killstreak badges only had additional spikes on the edges of the badge.
These badges just feel so uninspired and lacking character. I’m not sure if I’m just nitpicking or what. I didn’t really play halo 5 so I don’t have that comparison to go off of.
