Granted, I mostly play Halo games for the campaign, so the multiplayer probably is pretty disappointing. But the campaign was actually pretty good, and the guns felt so good, especially compared to previous 343 Halo games.

Bro are you actually confused why people hate on an almost entirely PvP focused game with terrible PvP?

Really, I always thought Halo was one of the few FPS franchises that still had a following for campaigns too

Because the core of the game is good, but 343 continually fucks up and undelivers on their promises. Which admittedly is mostly on the multi-player side, but its really bad.

If 343 ran the rest of the game as smoothly as they do the micro transactions Halo Infinite would be a 10/10

I've seen a number of people not happy with the open world nature of the campaign. Lots of criticism for the story as well. I was skeptical of an open-world Halo, but I was pleased with the result. It's a great campaign, though certainly not as good as 1-3.

Of course they also lose points for taking this long to include co-op, which should be a feature at launch for every Halo game. And even more egregious is probably the inability to replay missions.

The lack of the ability to replay missions is especially excruciating because it makes some collectibles permanently missable.

Most people only really care about the PvP side which has been woefully under supported.

Especially compared to the other competitive PvP games out there.

They canceled Split-Screen Co-Op entirely, despite promising that every Halo after 5 would have it. 343 is just horribly run.

I was surprised that they did that, especially considering that in the 4K era of TV displays, the screen resolution has the pixel real estate for either:

- 4x 2K-1080p screens in (2x2) arrangement
OR
- 9x 1K-_720p screens in (3x3) arrangement

Imagine if MS allowed 9x player Split Screen Halo Infinite.
The amount of couch co-op or local multiplayer action would be insane.

BUT, 343 wants to go the easy way.

Map and gun selection is kinda trash, otherwise its a very fun multiplayer. When we got like 8 friends on, playing 4 on 4, its a ton of fun. Absolutely satisfies our nostalgia from Halo 2 and 3 days.

Launched without a story for one. So it kinda just died with the online for months. Then the story was underwhelming. Plus less interest in halo for a while. It just kinda sunk.

The multiplayer is fun, gun play is great, movement feels great, but they launched without a lot of things people consider to be Halo staples now.

No co-op, no firefight, no forge, and a small selection of maps and strange progression system.

Its a content issue.

It's a live service game that basically has no content and the content that does come out is both painfully slow and often just features that older Halos launched with. The game is approaching a year since release and still doesn't feel complete.

It's also mind-boggling to me how they haven't released an Infection playlist yet. I would assume it will arrive for Halloween, but who even knows anymore. That's been a core Halo gametype for a while now.

It was one of the games I was most hyped to play with my Series S. I lost interest in the multi-player so fast. The mechanics feel on, but there just isn't anything to keep me playing. Feels hollow.

I sunk months of time into Reach but have no desire to do the same with Infinite

I have played every one co-op with friends, multiple times since 3, And it lacking that has kept me to playing only about 10 hours of the campaign. I dont play Halo mp anymore so I was fairly disappointed with the lack of features. I did get it on game pass and still haven't bought it, if they scrap online co-op I wont buy it at all.

I love Halo series for the single player campaigns. Halo Infinite more than enough delivered on that front with it actually being the longest in series based on play time. For me it's a 10/10.

Fortunately online co-op should be fine. They flighted it a while back, so barring a disaster it will come out eventually. I believe they had to delay it, but their current roadmap has it coming in November. It's just splitscreen that they felt the need to scrap for some reason.

The game itself is amazing. I don't play it anymore, but when I did when it first came out, they nailed the gameplay and I had so much fun. Problem is, it was very barebones compared to other Halos on launch, and it still is compared to the others almost a year after. I think if it had comparable content to the other Halo games (specifically maps, which this game is woefully deficient in), I think it'd still be as popular as it was on release.
