I am slightly irritated my post regarding my criticism of halo infinite got removed in this thread because I genuinely feel the gameplay plays poorly like halo 5 guardians. I am a big time classic halo fan (specifically Halo 2-3 multiplayer) so I didn't appreciate my opinion being censored for the sake of supposed "trolling". That is going too far - I am allowed to formulate my opinion and feelings on how I feel it plays and I can also make comparisons to halo 5 being poorly received by a big portion of the halo community. I want the game to succeed so if they can receive this criticism and make amends before launch - great, don't censor me for that...
Halo 5 had some of the best multiplayer of the series. That's not saying anything prior was bad (other than Halo 4) but Halo Infinite even improves upon the Halo 5 formula with a better formula between old and new.
Pros
- Solid foundation,
- Precision is required
- Love equipment
- You can spot like in Battlefield
- Spartan Squads for BTB was in the settings
- Sprint is implemented well and doesn't give you a huge advantage
- Ground Pound is gone
- Spartan Charge is gone
- Thrusters are gone
- Armor looks plated and heavy, great mix between Halo 3 and Halo Reach
- The sound design is punchy and clear
- Graphics are detailed and clean
- Sidekick was a great starter
- Assault Rifle was useful when burst firing at a distance and full automatic up close
- Grapple shot, when mastered, will be fun.
Cons
- Spartan Banter needs to go, I unchecked it in settings but they still didn't shut up.
- Don't like the AI. Seems tacked on for the Battle Pass
- Battle Pass needs to be more like MCC
- Not a huge fan of the outlines, but like that you can choose the colors. Gamertags floating above their heads would be just as effective
- Shield damage isn't as apparent, but does light up the area of the spartan that you are shooting
- Sniper Rifle zooms in too much on first zoom
- Skewer needs to peg people to the wall/floor/ceiling
- Need more feedback when getting shot
- Need less human environments
- Would like an option to have less marred armor.
- Grenades feel heavier than usual
- Auto-Shotgun could use a slight buff
Glitch
- Main Menu camera glitched into the floor during my play through
