My opinion on Halo infinite

Let’s start off by saying I was looking so forward to this game and had high hopes it was going to be good. I’m highly disappointed in this game. Every thing about it sucks and that’s me being nice about it. It doesn’t even feel like halo anymore.
Know I know what some of you might be thinking some guy crying because he’s not good at the game. Well let’s talk about me for a second. I’ve played every halo from Halo CE to Halo 5 and even MCC I was a 50 in MLG and Team slayer on both H2 and H3. I been apex predator 3 season in apex legends never been a fan of call of duty or gears. So I like to think I’m at least half was decent at FPS.
This game feels nothing like any halo not even halo 5 (my least favorite) witch I quit playing because it had no challenge. I had a 9.6kda in BTB.
But on to the real reason I’m writing this post.

  • The radar is complete trash. 18m? Not to mention you have to be sprinting or firing a weapon to be detected. I’m fine with no radar hints my comment about being an apex pred. But there is no other way to gain information about enemy whereabouts other wise. Yes you can hear footsteps but with all the extra noise going on that almost impossible. On top of the fact they only sound within about 18m just like the radar. 18m is extremely close. In Apex I can hear footsteps 100m+ - Time to kill Or survive abilitie. I can’t quite explain the feeling you get when a player is melting you and you dip around a corner drop a nade in the wall and they run right into that nade and get one tapped by your pistol or BR. Then you do the same to his/her buddy as the bend the same corner because they was informed you were weak. Well in this game you are right from the start your weak. This feels like playing CoD to witch I’ve mentioned I don’t like. Run die, run kill die, run kill kill die, die die die. Yeah you can get times where you don’t for a few kills but the one time you walk right into two others boom dead not even a chance to survive. - The only gun that feels like an original halo gun is the needler. - BR is weak - pistol is meh at medium to close range but trash at longer ranges - Sniper “Betty” just feel old no puns intended. - AR is extremely overpowered, I mean really this is the only gun you need. Way better then the sniper, way better than any BR. - Plasma pistol come on I mean more trash, yes it still functions as a charge shot to break shields but it doesn’t even EMP vehicles anymore. The charge shot used to follow the target you shot with it, not any more a slight step to the side your in the clear. The Pulse Carbine tracks better. - Pulse Carbine, why in the last two Halos they keep trying to reinvent the Carbine like its not getting any better. Just stop. convert back to H3 Carbine and leave it alone.Let’s talk a little about the new guns for a little shall we.

  • Commando at first I was really impressed with how this gun felt “precision automatic rifle” I’m mean that’s the discretion. For me it had a bit of a learning curve with the recoil but damn did it feel good. Until you get some 5 year old that runs right at you with an AR, not to mention this AR welding dimi god is 30m away. - Bulldog again stop, bring back the old shotgun - Heatwave forerunner shotgun but with a little bit more suck in it. - Skewer OMG the only new weapon I like one shot kill no matter what, anti vehicle yes please. - Ravager would have been a favorite of mine if the patch of fire it leaves on the ground actually worked. - Shock rifle wish.com sniper had high hopes for this gun but it need tuned upI’m not here to be 100% negative there is alot about the game I do enjoy. The customization is nice feels more up-to-date. The soundtrack is fire. The maps are beautiful. But I want to enjoy playing the multi-player and right now in the state of witch the game is in I don’t. Every halo since CE the first thing I would do right after taking it out of the case on release night would to start up the campaign on legendary. I would beat the campaign before I even stepped foot into multi-player with Infinite I can’t do that. After being a die hard halo fan for 20 years and thousands of hours of continuous fun and excitement, I am no longer looking forward to this game. I’m still hoping the campaign is good but that’s about only thing. I will probably wait till the game goes on sale and buy it at a discounted price as the campaign is the only thing that you have to pay for now, or maybe just watch some streamer stream it and give them the $60. I would have wasted on the game.

I really hope 343 reads this. I hope alot of you reading this share and start some positive conversations about some of the statements I’ve made in my post and that 343 works on fixing the state of the game before release.
Please remember this is my opinion of the current state of the game.

Happy slaying Spartan
remember just like SGT Johnson said
"I don’t care if it’s God’s own anti-son-of-a–Yoink- machine or a giant hula-hoop we’re not going to let them have it. What we will let’em have is a belly full’a lead and pool of their own blood to drown in."

My expectations were always low and it’s about exactly what I thought it would be. Not good.

In short it’s a game riddled with design compromise, and classic unintuitive 343 decisions. their attempt to mix gameplay experiences to appeal to classic vs new halo fans simultaneously has resulted in an uninspired mess that will please neither.
this won’t bring back the legions of fans that left halo in the halo 4-5 years and it might push the new halo fans away.

they would have been better off going all in on either their new vision for halo or the classic bungie style.

Agreed. Not much to really add on because you’ve summed it up pretty well. I really wanted to enjoy this, I’ve forced myself to play it and try go in with a positive mind set time after time but it leads to the same conclusion. It’s disappointing.

Wanted to like it but I just can’t. Was a chore to just play 10 games for the reward :joy:

I already deleted the flight off my hard drive. Now I know a game I WON’T be playing this winter…Halo Infinite. I’ll try the new Battlefield beta and see how that goes, probably better than this dumpster fire of a game.

HALO INFINITE
Hi 343 I really enjoyed playing The tech preview for a halo infinite for the past two weeks but here’s some of the things I ran into the radar is far too small people can sneak up on you and you’re not even know it. Some of the weapons need a buff like the AR it is too powerful you can get AR
almost across map and if you have a BR. Power weapons they respond every three minutes that needs to be changed so like every five grenades the blast radius needs to be toned down and one last thing if you’re gonna make the radar 18 m just make it bigger and please do not make it well we have play PC and Xbox and ranked and social/unranked all the time because Xbox players I have a big disadvantage and the Amon system feels off on Xbox I don’t know about PC though

I see all over YouTube the tech preview was amazing. Halo infinite is good. But when watching these videos I come to realize that they are scripted they all say the same thing not one person has anything bad to say about the game. Even halofollower.
When as gamers did we lose our competitive drive and just allow games to be made for casual game play. Halo was a top MLG game that stood tall with games like Counter strike and even world of War craft on the MLG stage. But then you have to look back to who was in charge of those games Bungie. Now 343 is ruining the legendary game we all grew up on. This game is set to fail just like halo 4 and 5 I’m sorry but I can’t get behind this. 2 to 3 months after the release this game will be 75% off and dead just like the last two. I mean CoD war zone is better that this even with all the cheating that’s been going on. I would even say fortnite is better at least in those games you stand a chance and don’t die instantly. 343 isn’t listening to the die hard player they are listening to the YouTube channel that praise the trash game they made. This is going to be ANTHEM.2. He’ll I rather go play Anthem or Outriders at this point.

I think its a fine game. Improvement over 4/5, but nowhere near Bungie’s masterpieces. Since like you say they’re still trying to appeal to the Halo 5 kids too much (which is stupid, look at 2, 3, Reach player retention compared to 5, not even close.). Like you say they tried to compromise everything, which is better than just Halo 4/5. But, it feels very bland and boring, Live Fire, Recharge, and Bazaar all feel generic, especially Live Fire bland 3 lanes. Physics are non existent as well, alongside no friendly fire and player collision. Missing all of Halo’s originality and personality
