After playing thousands of multiplayer games over a dozen years since Halo 3 on xbox, I think I can
give a personal view of this Halo Infinite. (game from Europe)
Halo had a problem 20 years ago and continues to have the same problem in matchmaking:
- Randomly but alternately you enter games in which no matter what you do, they always end up killing you or else your team wipes out the opposing team with incredible ease … even playing with the same people. It’s not “lag”, is it?
I don’t know what it is, but we keep seeing the absurd 7-50 or 50-11 markers. It happened 20 years ago and it continues to happen now. - The free to play system that this Halo Infinite adopts is good for the part of purchasing cosmetics. Do you want to dress your Spartan?
Well, you buy her clothes … and you pay for them. Another thing is the absurd prices of cosmetics. $ 20 (22.6 European equivalent) for a dress or $ 10 for a weapon skin is a joke, ridiculous. This means that there are practically no prizes for playing (fidelity) to force
the payment (bad boy Microsoft). At least in Gears 5 they dropped a few coins every now and then to spend in the shop. - Buying experience no longer seems so normal to me, experience should be a reference both for other players and for perform pairing. With this system the only thing you get is that there are players with very high levels (and very beautiful clothes)
they have barely any experience (but they do have money) with which matchmaking is a disaster. - The crossplay with PC will not work.
Any old Spartan like me knows that there is a great great great advantage playing with keyboard and mouse. No need to cheat.
No matter how many settings you make for the controller, it can never be compared to the keyboard and mouse. Even those who play with keyboard andmouse on xbox, they have the same advantage. - The progression is slow but it would be bearable if you could get something more substantial than a left shoulder pad of doubtful taste and none utility. Well, if you pay a lot of money, this will not matter to you. So the progression becomes long and boring, both for those who pay
as for those who do not pay. By the way, not even a small detail for Game Pass players.
Anyway, I will continue to love and hate Halo like 20 years ago, yes, this time I will have to pay for the Master Chief’s helmet …
Thank you, sorry for the machine translation.
