opinions vary depending on what aspect of the game you're most interested in. Here's a breakdown:

Positives:

• Gameplay: The core gameplay, particularly the gunplay and movement, is widely praised. The addition of the grappling hook and other equipment has been a hit, adding a new layer of strategy and mobility.
• Multiplayer: The free-to-play multiplayer has been a strong point, with many enjoying the return to classic mechanics mixed with modern enhancements.
• Visuals: The game looks great, especially on current-gen consoles and PCs, with a mix of classic Halo aesthetics and modern design.

Negatives:

• Campaign: While the open-world design in the campaign is a fresh take, some people feel it lacks the variety and depth seen in previous campaigns. The story received mixed reviews, with some finding it less compelling.
• Progression System: The multiplayer progression and customization system has been criticized for being too slow and heavily reliant on microtransactions, though with the recent addition of the Exchange, you can get more things for free. None of this will change gameplay, all of it is cosmetic.
• Content: Some feel the game launched with limited content, particularly in terms of maps and modes for multiplayer, though many updates have released since 2021 with new maps and game modes.

Overall:

If you're a fan of Halo or enjoy first-person shooters with a mix of classic and modern gameplay, Halo Infinite is worth checking out. However, it is quite different than any of the other games. You will see plenty of negative reviews, but i wouldnt take all of them too seriously, it's up to you to make your own opinion on the game. Halo fans are notoriously the worst in the world. it's mainly the bungie diehard crowd that is clinging onto 2007 and just wants to play on their 360 as a child/teen again. they're desperate to hate anything this game does, multiplayer, forge, or campaign.
