Would it kill them to just automatically refill your ammo when you fast travel to a FOB?
What are some of your favorite guns?
Aside from the BR and Shotgun(has always been my favorite combo in any Halo game) I like the shock rifle, Heatwave, VK47, Skewer.
I do like going around and doing all the points on the map, it feels Far Cry-ish, but I do agree with those who have said the lack of variety in the terrain is a little disappointing. I'd love a snow area or a little diversity there.
Also, something about the physics when running people over with vehicles doesn't seem right. There's no impact to it, it's like you're hitting a balloon almost.
Game is somewhat fun, but it hasn't grabbed me, so that is bit of a shame.
3-4 main missions and maybe 8 side missions. It's bit odd since halo 5 really hooked me after couple of missions and grappling hook and throwing is really well implemented.At this point, I'm just exploring and finding collectibles. Love this part of open world games.
How far in the game are you?
Just beat it on Heroic, although it bizarrely gave me an achievement for beating it on normal, which makes no sense. Hopefully I get my heroic completion.
I can now say for certain; hands down one of the greatest videogames I've ever played, maybe even my #1. Story was fantastic. I loved the way they handled everything. Very, very well done. Escharum was an incredible villain. He had depth and sophistication to him, and boy does his character arc really come full circle in an amazing way. 343 fucking did the damn thing with this game. Best Halo campaign and game ever made for me.
Finished the campaign last night. Gameplay wise this is the best Halo. No doubt. Combat is really fun.
The story was ok. Nothing special. I really dislike this trope of killing a beloved character just to bring it back later and the status quo remains the same.
Graphics were ok. There isn't a large variety of environments. It's either the same open world tile or the alien structure one.
Like SkillUp said, it's "Silent Cartographer The Game".
The final stretch is killbox after killbox. It felt rushed. I was wondering when I was going back to the open world but the game kept throwing rooms full of enemies at me. It's a good thing the combat is fun as hell.
I think it's a very good game. And 343 is in the right path.
But for the sequel I'd like to see more variety. More setpieces. And I think multiple huge mission areas in sequence is better than one far cry style open world.
You are too defensive about this game. Like, you respond to almost everyone who has a negative opinion about the game. Just chill out man. Halo is a long-running franchise that has many fans who want many different things in a Halo game. I love the open-world Halo setting of Infinite but I can legitimately see why previous Halo fans would not vibe with it.
Finished the game, at the halfway point I thought I was playing the best Halo, but ultimately i'm not sure.
I felt the final story mission was underwhelming, with lots of repeated rooms, encounters. Copy paste is absolutely rampant. And this goes for quite a bit of the game tbh. All those structures or spires or whatever, they are completely similar. And yes, I do miss a bit variation in scenery; cities like Mumbasa, or a jungle or something. The ending felt kind of sudden. There aren't that many story missions it seems and they are awfully similar.
But the good, the gameplay is 10/10. Its the best Halo and one of the best FPS period when it comes to controls. The shootouts are insanely good. Grunts will change behavior, enemies will fly towards you after a nade, fly straight up after a disruptor kill, they react differently to every weapon and action you take. The moment to moment gameplay is insane. Just by the end, after the same room again, it gets kind of sour. I'd rather duke it out in the open, I think. The gadgets are awesome, but selecting them mid battle can be a bit of a pain (on regular pad with default setup). The sound is amazing. The sniper and shotgun sound insanely good. I loved clearing the map, as I liked the encounters. Summoning a warthog, opening a gate, entering the warthog again. Or grab a sniper, get on a perch, throw radars and pick them off. Its great.
MP has been my fave in a long ass time so its all good. But for campaign, I might prefer Halo 3 Remaster and ODST still.
Yea, you shouldn't be worrying about what I choose to respond to or not respond to. That's my business entirely. I've responded to outright trolls who posted nonsense, some of which I think were even banned, and not because I reported them, but because some of them were that blatant. I also respond to a shit load of positive comments, too, engaging on where I had differences, so why exactly are you so defensive about me taking issue with things I find blatantly not accurate, or things that I disagree with based on my own playtime?
And, no, there's no legitimate reason AT ALL for previous Halo fans "not to vibe with it" because it's that fucking amazing a Halo Campaign. It doesn't get much better. I firmly believe that if you don't like this game you have simply never liked a Halo game, or are out to have something negative to say just for the sake of having something negative to say. I will engage about this game when I want, about whatever the hell I want when I feel like it. If you don't like it put me on ignore. I believe the story and characters were fantastic, the best pure character development work the Halo franchise has ever seen. The writing has simply never been better from my perspective. Escharum is also one of the franchise's best villains, if not the very best. He was badass, he had honor, wisdom, has depth, actually respects the Master Chief as an adversary. He's a very well put together character. The voice acting late in the game sends chills down my spine.
And Jen Taylor, what a fucking legend. She should win every fucking award for her VA work in this game. Some of the very best I've ever come across in a videogame. The entire team at 343 and everybody involved should be proud because they made one of the best videogames ever with Halo Infinite.
The achievement will pop. When you beat it on a higher difficulty it automatically gives you achievements for all levels of difficulty “under that one” in halo games. I beat all Halos on legendary cause it’s an easy way to rack up lolJust beat it on Heroic, although it bizarrely gave me an achievement for beating it on normal, which makes no sense. Hopefully I get my heroic completion.

After all these years, the warthog still drives like shit. I hate the say the thing controls and I hate that it feels like a giant inflated balloon instead of a multi ton off-road beast
I found the Scorpion tank as resilient as a paper bag. Kinda disappointingDriving any vehicles in in Infinite is kind of suck. The warthog is suck but the Scorpion tank is 10 times worse. I was so excited to get it at first but it's such a pain to drive I rarely ever use. I mostly use the Razorback so I can load up a squad of marines.

Weird,I didn`t notice to be so weak in my playthrough,what annoyed me was the little bumps in road that my Scorpion had trouble getting past.I found the Scorpion tank as resilient as a paper bag. Kinda disappointing
Finished the campaign yesterday. Absolutely amazing. I still think that I like Halo 4 story a bit more, but hands down this is the most fun to play by far.
Empty how? Not enough interesting points of interest or enemies? It picks up significantly once you get past the fourth mission, far larger play space, far more activities and things to just happen upon, like marine squads, bases, FOBs, banished presence in smaller, non outpost locations, more random enemy patrols. So, yea, after playing "The Tower" it picks up quite a bit.does the open world ever get better? it's really basic and empty to me
Ya ignoring the fact that there's certain super hero game where you just swing around one same looking city but lets complain about Halo not having 100 different biomes loldownloaded on steam! so excited.
edit: fuck i forgot to update my drivers. better do that!
tHeReS oNlY ONe BiOmE!!!!
They are truly fantastic. Still, I don't understand how the Banished HQ still tries to employ grunts in a combat role. It's evident they are not cut for it.There seems to be endless dynamic dialogue for these little shit heads. 16 hours in and I have not heard one repeated grunt conversation.
When did people start frequently using the term "biome" in gaming forums? Is there a precedent? I never heard it used before the usual Halo haters disembarked in the threads. Now it's all biomes, biome here, biome there...Ya ignoring the fact that there's certain super hero game where you just swing around one same looking city but lets complain about Halo not having 100 different biomes lol
I remember first hearing it from games journalist. It's a biological term used in ecology but it's way overused in the gaming space for some reason.When did people start frequently using the term "biome" in gaming forums? Is there a precedent? I never heard it used before the usual Halo haters disembarked in the threads. Now it's all biomes, biome here, biome there...
Just climbed to the highest point in the game. Got the "nosebleed" achievement. Looking around at the awesome view and then I find out......there is no photo mode? Seriously?
Is there no way to go back to general exploring once you've gone too far in the campaign? I feel I'm almost done with main story but dont want to finish the game until I've explored more.
The fast travel option is disabled.
I also finished the game last night and your post captured my thoughts exactly!!Finished the campaign last night. Gameplay wise this is the best Halo. No doubt. Combat is really fun.

What's with the checkpoint system in this game? It's really wonky.
It saves checkpoints for if you die just fine. But if you quit playing and boot the game back up later, it doesn't. I was doing a really long section, and I play very slowly and thoroughly, so the section took me like half an hour. I made sure to wait for multiple "saving checkpoint" notifications on screen. Then I went to bed. Booted the game up the next day and I had to do the entire section all over again.
Wtf, Halo?
That's a bummer. I'd like a break from the main campaign for a bit. :/I'm pretty sure you get dumped back into Zeta Halo after you "complete" the game so you can muck around then.
Yeah, some spots felt like a horde mode. 343's way of upping difficulty. They did the same in Halo 4.I loved the campaign up until the last few hours where it began to feel like an Arena shooter. Story was fantastic all the way through.
One gripe - as great as the grapple is, it makes hijacking vehicles way too easy.
