I watched the stream reveal of Infinite’s campaign. I didn’t like it. I’ve been looking at people’s reactions, and honestly, this video is the only one that I’m agreeing with. What do you guys think? The game is the flagship of the next gen and this is what they managed in the five years they’ve had to develop it? Halo Infinite Looks Like Apex?

Meh right now. Still curious about MP
Not impressed, at all. No blood, bad graphics, generic weapons, enemies don’t move or really interact with you. Just stand there.

I completely agree. I am disappointed. I assumed the reason the enemies “just stand there” is because it’s a demo and the difficulty is probably easy/normal, and they want to show off everything they can without giving the impression that it’s just a horde mode bullet storm. All the enemies are sponges while you’re a wet rag. Which, if we’ve played their games before, and we have, that may very well be exactly how it goes down.

Watching the gameplay it just felt…Hollow. I don’t know how else to explain it. Like a shell of a game with no direction.
Not getting it. Didn’t get 5 and not getting this. Stuck with halo 1-3 for the rest of time it seems. Never getting another HALO game.
What I think Let’s see…
- Shaders? What are those? - Clouds pop up, it’s a feature! - Remember the particle effects in the Slipspace reveal? Yeah, it’s not exactly there frankly. Not at all actually… - Enemy AI that is aggressive and try to subdue you? Who needs that in 2020! We got suicide grunt throwing Brutes instead! - Sprint feels like what the BMS should be like, so much for “the old trilogy feels sluggish”. Now we got the boring mechanic with the slow feeling movement combined! - Community: “we want guns to have unique roles in the sandbox!” 343i responds, they heard us loud and clear and proceed by doing the exact opposite. - Nobody likes the H4/5 Grunts, so 343 reused them anyway with different armour - Hyperius killed my hype with that ogre visage! Insert Shrek joke here. So a lot of disappointment, especially on a technical level, but also mixed with hope here and there sparkled in between. At first glance it feels a lot more like a Halo game than H4/5 ever could. I also liked the grappling hook and the equipment for once! I hope enemy AI is going to be more reactive on eroic than what we saw here todsy. There is no saving it if the AI sucks. Again!
“This is what they’ve managed to do in 5 years?”
It was an 8 minute demo of a version of the game we don’t even know is a current version. It was also demonstrated on a stream. Personally, I saw quite a bit that I liked, but I think the final product should determine whether 343 gets praise or criticism. I am sure thought that this brief slice isn’t likely going to be all we can expect.
