1/3/2023 0 Comments Halo online campaign![]() ![]() There’s other equipment that you’ll pickup along the way as well including the Shield Core which creates a barrier around you and the Threat Sensor, which I found less useful at this point of the game but is great for certain enemy types that are able to cloak themselves. It’s such a simple gameplay addition, but makes the gameplay faster and allows for more variety in how you approach situations. The Chief can use the hook to get to areas in the distance, stun enemies, reel in throwables and way, way more. The obvious difference in the core gameplay is the addition of the grapple hook (called the Grappleshot) which, for as simple as it is, provides a huge change up in gameplay. There was never a stutter or animation weirdness, and that extra year of polish has definitely meant that the game is not launching underdone from a visual point of view. I wouldn’t say it’s the best looking game that I’ve ever played, but it runs extremely smoothly at 4K/60FPS, which to me is the most important thing for a game like this. It’s worth mentioning, that the game looks gorgeous. Even in these earlier stages, things ramp up in difficulty pretty quickly, but it never felt cheap, which I liked. ![]() There were some epic set pieces wedged between many linear areas, not unlike the ones that have made Halo popular over the years. Throughout the four main missions that I can talk about, things felt really familiar gameplay-wise. Every shot really feels like it has weight, and I can’t see a time where taking out hordes of enemies in this game won’t be fun. ![]() Having not spent too much time with the last few games, I was surprised at just how well Infinite does at replicating what made those original games so great while still feeling fresh and a joy to play through. ![]() Obviously the core gunplay is solid, with every Needler shot (to name a singular weapon) feeling absolutely glorious. Right from the get-go, Halo Infinite feels like a new, next-gen Halo game while still retaining so many of the qualities that made the original games so great. I’ll admit I fell off the bandwagon at some point, as I’m sure many others did, but after 3-4 hours with Halo Infinite’s campaign, I’m definitely back on it. I’ll be honest in saying that I was a massive fan of the original three Halo games, probably spending more time mucking around on a Warthog in the original than any other game since. ![]()
