That was seriously the best halo campaign I've ever played. It was the experience I wanted the first time I played Halo combat evolved as a kid. All hiccups aside, I'm really excited to see what's to come.

So much nostalgia from the trilogy even afterwords, nailed the feels.
I had a moment when he put in the password 034 and the a bigger one when he dropped Samuel as the next one. There were many others but that one was the chefs kiss for me
Yeah, all problems aside, they put care into this game. They embrace it now.
100%. I felt also like a lot of the dialogue about apologizing for past mistakes was a fourth wall break to fans of the series about fucking up the last few games especially in that lore aspect.
Oh I couldn't understand this reference. Please tell me!
Spartan 034 Samuel was one of the original members of chiefs team during one of their first encounters with the covenant. Took an overcharged plasma pistol shot before their armor had shields and it breached his suit while aboard a covenant battle cruiser. He couldn't cross the vacuum back so he detonated the ship saving everyone else.

I agree! With the caveat if knowing the plan is to have expanding story/campaign.
If what we played was all we had for a "Halo 6" I'd be pretty disappointed.
You should be treating it as such, 60$ for a partial story with the expectation to pay more and not including multiplayer is pretty poor return. You should also be comparing it to games like far cry 5 rather than a traditional halo
I mean, comparing it to FC5 rather than original trilogy Halo is about the closest you can get to objectively lowering the bar.
Love me some far cry, but the paper thin stories and map marker bonanza mean they're very different games before you even start talking about the combat loop, which is good, but still inferior to Halo.
My point was that you get far more story than you do with halo. Sure the quality is quite the same, but we’re not talking AAA vs MLB, more like differences between teams.
But more doesn't mean better. I hate how large most of the ubisoft games are that I never care to get far into them. Halos size made it fun for me to actually explore the map. Also the story doesn't arbitrarily stop you from progressing until you level up enough or liberate enough districts.
Far cry's writing is beyond ass who cares how much you get. The games are literally only fun as coop fuckarounds
I’m a bit of a completionist so still making my way through it, but definitely enjoying it.
There’s a lot they can do with it to take it to the next level. Named marines with dialog and story, ability to chose a squad of marines and their loadout from the FOB, more dynamic battles in the open world, more forerunner dungeons, etc.
Excited to see what they can do over the next couple of years. I can see this campaign having a lot of replay-ability.
That would be awesome! Itd take the over world to the next level
Fr I was thinking about all the possibilities for DLC. If you look back at what the total war Devs have done with the Warhammer series, there's similar potential for continuous support with infinite.
i'm also loving the campaign. Not done yet (and not racing to finish), but the semi-open world works amazingly well in the context of the signature 30-second gameplay loop. it reminds me of the reason the original Halo games are so fun: the gunfights. it feels like the parameters of previous console generations blew up with this game, a new beginning to the franchise, where the other Halos (good and not so good) serve as backstory now.
it kind of reminds me of how Metroid Dread revamped the Metroid series. the developer is no longer new and they have some substantial missteps in their past, but damn did they do a good job of putting things back in the right place and learning from their mistakes.
i get the feeling that we'll be seeing a lot more story content over the coming months/years, and i can't wait. my mind is racing with all the potential new story beats and biomes still ahead. looking forward to some new introductions :)
edit: i got flashbacks to days i would stay home from school sick and play Halo 2. fun days, even when i was "sick" haha.
I wish there was some sort of warning or something before starting the last few missions saying something like "yo once you start this level you cant get any more spartan cores till you beat the game, so make sure you're upgraded enough to beat the last boss cause this is it"
I beat it on legendary after fully upgrading all traits, but if i just stuck with main story line no side quests, i guarantee i would have had to make a new game save because i dont think i could have done it without full upgrades.
This was my biggest problem with the game as well. There’s no indication that halfway through the game it’s no longer open world and you’re dead locked into the main story. It’s kinda frustrating.
Loved the campaign, only gripe is the well known issue: not being able to go back to missions.
In open world, I like to clear my map of icons and fill up the ez to obtain items like audio logs. But since I cant go back , i just gotta replay it which isnt the worst thing but i would appreciate having a 100% save at least once
I cant stress this enough. I want to get all skulls, audio logs and such.
How hard is it to add a terminal at the missions corresponding part of the map that lets you do a re-play?
So it’s worth buying then. Holding off until I know for sure. I’m poor after my latest pc build, so not being to frivolous with my pc purchases.
xbox game pass. get the trial for $1
also i literally upgraded my rig to a super duper build to play this adequately from a rx 580 and a 2600x and i can say it was well worth it
I like your funny words, magic man

I gotta admit I'm enthralled with how good the game looks, every second in that campaign has been a feast for the eyes. The OP's gamepass suggestion is good if you're on the fence, I can comfortably say it was worth the AAA price tag to me.
The beta was visually awesome, can’t wait to play campaign with ray tracing.
Its great, I finished on heroic and now I'm almost done on legendary.
Glad you finished it on heroic and now your for legendary. Every here was wondering.
Don't be a dick
Actually just finished it on legendary since you care
Omg thank you !!, I was dying to know !!
Don't mention it g
I was expecting more. I still have questions, I can expect not to get them answered but just feel that there could have been so much more if they had wanted to. over map and addition of UNSC marines and FOB just feels lacking. Like they wanted to make them for the open world of it but they did not incorporate them into the story or really anything other than friendly robot helpers. all the interesting characters are missing and never talked about. there are not the Spartans. It has left me feeling like this is going to be joined by a bunch of campaign DLC that opens up the world more with new mechanics as we find some of the missing Spartans and do more in the overall war.
I just wish they had gone more into it. how cool would it have been you do a more focused campaign story and they open it up after as end of game content where you are now rescuing/finding Spartans, The captain, go to war with the Banished have the outposts matter on a gameplay way like the if while the Horn of Abolition outpost is still functioning then your people are being attacked/ambushed and tracked, but if you take it out (which should be much harder and with its own boss) those things stop and you suddenly get the ability to do ambushes as they have lost their ability to track you.
Ya I just feel if could have been better. it is good, enjoy the combat and game but I just see the potential for something so much better
I was hoping for more, however given all of the development hell stories that have come out recently I am happy with what we have right now.
Personally I would have been okay had they delayed it another 6 months to a year, but I feel they were already pushing contracts to the limit delaying it back this far.
i’m in the same boat. i’ve only gotten to the second island so i’m holding out hope that the open world aspect starts to feel more populated. but as of now. it’s just a big running simulator in my eyes. a few captive marines sprinkled in with a few bases to take over. as an open world game i feel as if it’s severely lacking. i’ve played every halo since release. this one is bumming me so far. it feels absolutely great. but the commuting to each node is a snooze fest. the vehicles are so bad it doesn’t feel like it’s worth it in any way to drive anywhere. each vehicle i’ve been in seems like it weighs as much as a bag of feathers and when you hit a pebble you’re upside down again.
I grabbed ghosts for the most part but then you get to flying and that is fun also reduces difficulty to 0
Cant argue with a lot of that, but from my understanding this game is supposed to be a platform for the next 10 years of halo, so we very well may end up there. Heres to hopin!
I just finished it as well and came here to say exactly this. It was amazing.
Completely agree. So satisfying. Just finished on Heroic this morning and sat with a cigarette and watched the credits roll feeling so very satisfied. Best Halo ever? Might just be. I loved it. So much.
If you want to get riled up, check out the steam reviews. Some people are calling it worse then halo 5
I’ve been playing halo 20 years now, I played combat evolved the day it came out.
This game is by far one of the best halo’s since CE, and it had the same vibe and gameplay as CE. Truly epic
Dude this!!!!
It's incredible. Also kudos for Sony on the viral marketing for the new Spider-Man movie.
So glad to hear it. I'm only a few hours in, taking my time. The first 20 minutes blew me away. How did this company make halo 5? I don't know but thank you 343 for delaying this game and letting me love Halo again on all fronts
I really enjoyed the campaign, despite not entirely understanding what's going on haha. I do wish it was just a litttllle bit longer, also wish they gave us the ability to replay missions.
Completely agreed, I had so much fun with how challenging it was on Legendary as well. My favorite halo campaign experience aside from 3.

As a long time Halo player, I was thoroughly impressed with Halo Infinite. I’m glad that you enjoyed playing it!
