What I like about Halo Infinite So Far

Games Halo Infinite
1

I’ve submitted a request for BETA testing for Xbox One though I eventually anticipate to play on PC. However, my roommate has gained access on his Series X and I had time to play multiple games of Slayer this morning (~4 hours). I’ve been playing Halo since CE and so far my experience is largely positive. Here are my inputs:

  • Controls are pretty fluid. Crounching, sliding, hopping over obstacles, etc. Though it took me a whole game to get accustomed to the new control layout.
  • Sound effects are great. Melee, team banter, etc. all sound phenomenal
  • I’m happy that all weapons have a degree of zooming in (LT).
  • The waypoint feature (Up on D-Pad) is a great addition. Good for comms when teammates don’t have a mic.
  • Down on the D-Pad, is this scan for identifying weapon and power up locations?
  • Bots have put up a decent fight-- but on one account I found 3 of them fighting amongst themselves.
  • Needler seems a bit overpowered at times.

Not much so far but just some things I thought I’d share. Looking forward to seeing community’s inputs as well and excited to see the finished product.

Cheers,
CK

The Needler is pretty OP. That’s probably how bots kill me the most. I’m also not a fan of the sound effect for it. It sounds too much like a regular gun for me. I’d rather have something like halo 4.

Also something I noticed was that you can take the ammo from of plasma weapons now, so no more having to drop what you have to pick up a newer one.
