You nailed this review. Exactly my thoughts as well.

Well done enemy AI and allies AI, not many games do this well.
All the banter is excellent, allies and enemies.
Level design, armor breaking off etc.

Spot on points.

And seriously the gameplay is too damn good. The last shooter I went berzerk with was Titanfall and I play everything.

TheDoomedGuy890d ago

So story and open world design is not important to you?

TheDoomedGuy889d ago

@Sugar

What are you smoking? Halo open world is one of the best for you??? Better than witcher? Wow

Now I have finally heard it all. Forgive me but ill take any other open world over Halo's wasteland. Heck even ubisoft open worlds are better. All we got in halo is camp after camp after camp of the same exact enemeies and environments over and over and over again. Oh and no set piece moments either like in most other open world games.

Halo should not have been made an open world. Great level design and set peice moments is what they should have focused on for this game.

Putting this at the level of Red Dead 2...wow.

Playing on SX and the game is simply amazing!

Started on heroic difficulty and I can tell the enemy AI is brutal. You have to plan your strategy very carefully or death is certain. Can only wonder what´s Legendary difficulty holds for me. O.o

Having a blast assembling my team and equip them with the best weapons.

Best FPS of the year hands down!

DJStotty888d ago

Legendary is tough, and unforgiving, i have died countless times, with enemies sometimes rushing me, and sometimes elite's flanking me and meleeing me into oblivion, but even on legendary, the game is still epic.

Early today at my job's Christmas party I won a XB Series S. I have always been & will continue to be a PlayStation gal. Well..I said to myself I think I'll try to see what XB fans/gamers see in the XB platform. I started with joining Gamepass for 1 dollar & since I enjoy playing campaign shooters I said I'll start with downloading & trying Halo for the first time which was the new Halo Infinite. Though the XBSS output resolution wise for the game was only 1080p it didn't look too bad on my q80t qled 65 Samsung. I guess I shouldn't complain knowing I didn't pay a dime for the console...lol. I played close to an hour & the game is not bad so far,I'm enjoying it. I'm going to look around & sample other exclusive games on Gamepass. I'm soon starting a 5 1/2 week vacation from work if I enjoy some of the games on XBSS I'll definitely keep it,if not I'll sell it but I'm enjoying Halo Infinite so far...so I'll see what the future holds when it comes to the XB platform.

Desperate Xbox players turn to Halo Forge for their Helldivers 2 fix

PS5-exclusive Helldivers 2 is so popular that Xbox players want a taste of democracy, and now Halo Forge will be the battleground for a Helldivers 2 remake.

XiNatsuDragnel86d ago

That's wild but hey if forge satisfies than that's good

GamerRN85d ago

Also.... Desperate Xbox players? I mean Helldivers2 looks ok, but I wouldn't call it anything to get desperate over..

God of War and the other exclusive are more worth desperation. I don't think I'm gonna even try Helldivers2, in still trying to beat Forbidden West, and I still of Ghosts, Ragnarok and TLOU2 to play

Old McGroin85d ago

Helldivers 2 is a phenomenally good game. You should definitely check it out if you get the chance. Looks like the devs have the server capacity issue pretty much sewn up now so it's a good time to jump in.

WolfSeed85d ago

You clearly haven't tried it. It's pure crack.

MrNinosan85d ago

I thought exactly like you, until I tried Helldivers 2... and then I was hooked.
The only thing that will stop me from playing it going forward is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth next week.

1Victor85d ago

@gamer: “Also.... Desperate Xbox players? I mean Helldivers2 looks ok”

Lest be honest for a minute even Phil want it on Xbox and if it wasn’t desperation the forge player wouldn’t be trying to copy it 🤷🏿

Barlos85d ago

Nobody is desperate over a game. Its pure clickbait.

TwoPicklesGood85d ago

I enjoy Helldivers 2 but it isn’t phenomenal or anything, its just a good game. Sure us ps5 players don’t have many multiplayer games so maybe that skews perspective. What we should be worrying about Is all the bugs and issues that STILL plague the game. It shouldn’t have been released in this state.

Helldivers 2 graphically makes halo on series x look 2 gen behind.

Rdeal85d ago

Are you saying Helldivers 2 graphics are better than Halo's? if so you need glasses , graphics has to be the worst part of Helldivers 2, I have seen better on the PS4

Hypertension14085d ago (Edited 85d ago )

@Rdeal

It's not the best looking game around
but the graphics definitely look better than halo infinite. The destruction on display while also maintaining a steady performance is also very impressive.

I've also seen better on PS4, but I say the same for almost every Xbox Series X game this generation.

Kiryu199285d ago

Why desperate Xbox fans? Why are we so split as a gaming community? So gamers wanting to play awesome games are not labeled desperate?

DarXyde85d ago

I don't think it's really unusual.

LittleBigPlanet allowed for that.

Just get a PS5 and be done with it. Four Xbox exclusives are making their way over with more to follow down the road.

343_Guilty_Spark85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

When is Halo Infinite coming?

Hellblade 2 coming?

Jin_Sakai85d ago

Soon enough.

Phil Spencer: “The biggest games will be more than just one platform“

VincentVanBro85d ago

Neither of those are worth an entire console so who cares?

DazaMc85d ago

Anytime now, who knows.

MrNinosan85d ago

Probably within a year, but don't worry. They will still be available on the box of your choice, except if Switch is your choice.

Or just play it on your PC...

InUrFoxHole85d ago

Why get either console? All are coming to pc anyway

Shane Kim85d ago

If it wasn't for the initial cost, then I would never get a console.

InUrFoxHole84d ago

Honestly pc is great but I love the convenience of a console

OptimusDK84d ago

You couldn’t help yourself right Jin

Jin_Sakai84d ago

I just couldn’t help but tell the reality of the situation.

goldwyncq84d ago

Or just get a PC because all Xbox and PS games are coming to it sooner or later. Nintendo's the only company practicing true exclusivity nowadays.

Tedakin84d ago

Sony's present said first party games will be on pc and other platforms too. So what? And before you say he just meant "pc and playstation" that was debunked. Day 1 pc is definitely coming from Sony, ending your precious exclusives.

Neonridr86d ago

I remember the good old days of Halo 3 and the Forge. Some wild game games came from it.

RaidenBlack86d ago

Just let Coalition develop or at least assist in developing the next Halo ... 343 alone is not enough

Jin_Sakai85d ago

They already assisted with development.

“Gears of War studio The Coalition helped out with Halo Infinite”

https://www.vg247.com/gears...

RaidenBlack85d ago

Then lead the next Halo development with 343 assisting instead ... as well as leverage some of the other new acquired studios if possible

neomahi84d ago

That would be smart, but makes too much sense. BUT, The Coalition is pretty much dead, without Rod Ferguson, there's nothing there. That was the point of that team was that he was heading it up but even Rod Ferguson turned down being the boss and head of his own studio making Microsoft money to go to Blizzard, and isn't it ironic, look where's he's at now. Cliff Blezinski offered to go back to work on Gears and Xbox (one of their biggest IPs) shut him down and told him no. Gears put Xbox on the map, and they told him no. Sony wouldn't tell David Jaffe no if he asked to return to God of War or Twisted Metal, Jaffe is just to lazy, but Xbox shut down Blezinski, completely shocked me.

So, you're right, kinda, but that blood isn't there anymore, the soul of that team is gone so I don't think you'd get the quality you think that you would

Jin_Sakai84d ago

“Then lead the next Halo development with 343 assisting instead ... as well as leverage some of the other new acquired studios if possible“

Certain Affinity would be good but who knows what’s happening there. And I’d suggest keeping CoD studios away from the franchise unless you want Halo of Duty.

Halo Infinite forge is a million times better. maps don't even look like forge made but look like actual dev created maps now

Neonridr85d ago

oh I bet, I just have fond memories of all the different things people came up with. I can only imagine what it's like now.

PhillyDonJawn85d ago

Hell yeah I remember the forge map toilet 😂 good times. Poo and paper everywhere

Blad3runner0086d ago

Don't get this mentality. Nothing is stopping these people from buying a PS5

I don't get fanboyism and refusing to purchase a competitors console.

purple10186d ago

I didn't used to get it, when is was Sega vs Nintendo, but now companies charging for online play, I dont wan to pay 2 separate subs, so you make a choice. also if you were to say invest in extra controllers for mates or whatever, I suppose it all adds up

anast85d ago

So, PS5 is the choice, right?

PhillyDonJawn85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

You're thinking too much into it. Forge creators make anything and everything. This is nothing new. Call of duty and other games have been made in halo forge as well. I was just playing Nuketown and hot potato 2 weeks ago lol (hot potato fun asf btw)

PaleMoonDeath85d ago

Not everyone can afford it mate, some have kids, families etc to support. Very close minded statement, adults don't necessarily care which machine, but money's tight nowadays, bring them Helldivers so we can get the damn Halo & Gears armour on PS5 lol

EvertonFC85d ago

I wanna see helgeist, scorpions, crimera, flying sting rays even some knack enemies etc

PaleMoonDeath85d ago

@Everton, DUDE! KILLZONE 2 HELGHAST SKINS! COULD YOU IMAGINE

Charlieboy33385d ago

They hate Playstation to the point of insanity....yet want a Playstation game on Xbox so bad. These people don't even make sense in their OWN minds...

85d ago
EvertonFC84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

Agreed fella, same can be said for the playstation lot too though lol. We would all be over a gears collection, halo collection, Forza and ori

DivineHand12585d ago

I hope all the persons who agreed with you have an Xbox. Being a multi-console owner is the best thing for a gamer. When Palworld came out I could boot up the Xbox and play it there. I also just started playing Helldivers 2 yesterday and I am having a great time with it.

The gunplay is good so persons who are on the fence for this reason, don't be. The gunplay in this can go up against Halo, Destiny, The Division 2 etc. The gameplay loop is also good with a reasonable progression system. It doesn't have any RPG mechanics so don't expect to see numbers popping up when you shoot an enemy. Progression in this game allows you to unlock cosmetics, weapons and air drops from orbit to aid you on your mission.

HA! All the while Xbox games are popping up in PS stores. To be honest, on day exclusivity will probably be gone and each will just provide a streaming service bundle, but why not have fun while we can.

crazyCoconuts85d ago

And to get you to pick one streaming service over another they would have....

anast85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

You do know how to ask direct questions, right? This is a serious question.

They would have different app features, different UI's, timed exclusivity, and different video game series (live action and animation). Also the streaming services would be tied to mobile phones of choice (Sony vs MS; maybe even Nintendo will get in on this, phone thing.) which have their own reasons for purchasing.

Of course this is in the distant future. They don't call me the Oracle for no reason.

crazyCoconuts85d ago

Exclusives... The answer was exclusives.
But, you being the Oracle you already knew that, didn't you?

anast85d ago

"one day exclusivity will probably be gone"

Yes. I am the Oracle. When this happens you can say I am right.

Yeah it's certainly a relief that they're not too hard to earn because they look good! With Seasons now done, we're getting less free armor than usual so it's something
