Halo Infinite Review: ‘The start of something special but unfinished by design’ - GameRevolution

Halo Infinite review for PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One. Is 343 Industries' latest single-player and multiplayer game worth playing?

[Junkrad2022]

"unfinished by design" what the fuck is that suppose to mean

[XbladeTeddy]

Moaning about the multiplayer and the campaign is empty with not enough Ubi Towers to climb.

[ChubbyBlade]

“Moaning about multiplayer” - you mean.people unhappy that standard features that have been part of the series for 20 years have been completely removed or sold in over priced pieces?

@ChuhbyBlade

Nothing in the game is sold as overpriced pieces. All
Content updates will be free. Cosmetics can be earned...granted grinded for or bought outright but they are free as well. So don't make up stuff.

it means it's a modern triple A game.

[FlavorLav01]

The Sony 1st party library would like to have a word.

[chronoforce]

It means the game is missing stuff included at launch in prior Halo games like Forge and campaign co-op because the developers reckon they can add it later. Should the game not launch a broken mess they will likely actually be able to spend time working on adding those missing features as opposed to fixing the game.

It is still disappointing Halo Infinite has had so development time and is still launching incomplete.

[Rachel_Alucard]

You know exactly what it means. Because it's a common practice in the industry to cut out staple features to meet deadlines on purpose. They will add it later of course but it is a terrible practice the industry keeps doing all in an effort to please quarterly earning reports.

[senorfartcushion]

Leaving stuff out of the game on purpose, like most other aaa games.

[Sayai jin]

I think they are refering to missing features, like co-op. Still sounds like a very solid game. IMO, with the year delay co-op should have been ready. With that said, the MP is really fun and the campaign looks solid.

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

It means they're setting up the game for future installments, something similar to cliff-hangers. A stopgap.

[CrimsonWing69]

Maybe GaaS

[annoyedgamer]

Its being sold in pieces because it couldn't meet deadlines. The MP is also designed to sell you as an MTX fest.

[seanpitt23]

I new this game would be an 8 out of 10 nothing groundbreaking just a good game

[iplay1up2]

Most reviews are 9/10. GameSpot, IGN, WaPo. Etc. All 9.

[ThePacemaker]

Opencritic is 86%

[NeoGamer232]

@ThePacemaker
Same on Metacritic.

[anast]

It's probably a 6, but the get the extra point for it being Halo.

[XbladeTeddy]

Probably, yeah, probably.

[anast]

It's cool we know what probably means. You would be surprised how many people don't.

[WillyC009]

You’re really active in this thread. Really defensive about this game huh?

[ReadyPlayer22]

Didn't you fanboys spend the last 5 years telling us Halo is dead? Now it's getting points for not being dead? Sure bud

[Atticus_finch]

Don't be sad it's a 7.5
Much better that if would had came out last year. Probably around 5.0

[anast]

It's not an above average game. Those 8's and 10´s are gifted.

[darkrider]

It's not? When the biggest ip of Microsoft half is free to play. It's says all about the state of the franchise... Still 7.5 is a real score. 9 isn't. The game isn't near perfect. Or set any kind of standard.

[ReadyPlayer22]

Lol, me sad? All I see is a bunch of fanboys that spent all year downplaying Xbox. Only for Sony to give them nothing to play and Xbox to provide 4 of the 5 best games of the year. So now they're downplaying Halo's success. But hey, don't let me stop you

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Since when is a 8.6 an average game? On what planet?

[Atticus_finch]

It's crazy how low the standards have become where a game is obviously incomplete with the devs making some bizarre, worrying excuse as to why.
While some reviewers and players praising it.

[iplay1up2]

The vast majority of reviews are 9/10 4/5. From reputable sites. I will see for myself, in a couple of days. Those scores would have been even higher, if campaign co-op would have released at launch.

[darkrider]

Dude, first it halo. we all know how it works. Half a game, to make more money with mt, missing key features, doesn't bring nothing new, beside a hook, generic, dead story. 6 years in the making.
