At this point, I'd love for 343 to backtrack on that original promise and announce Halo 7, Halo More Infinite-er, or some other entirely new game. ![]() Because despite how broken and rushed this title appears at times, it nails the foundation that I'd love to see 343 return to-with all the last-gen hardware shackles released. Somehow, Infinite proves that the Halo series still has the capacity to astound and surprise. I found myself losing late-night hours to the campaign because I was caught up in an urge to explore or because I got sucked into one of the 90-minute mission chains marked by epic firefights, solid bosses, and chemistry-filled cut scenes. I loved seeing the series' tried-and-true mechanics applied to emergent, open-world mission discovery. I found myself compelled to finish side quests not because of an experience-point promise but because I expected (and usually found) a fun firefight in each. If you gave me more of this-larger worlds, more biome diversity, more enemy types, better ground vehicle traversal, co-op integration, and the bread-and-butter Halo-ness that this game generally understands-I'd be set. ![]() Indoor levels occasionally recall the glory days of Halos past but generally lean too hard on underwhelming, copy-and-pasted architecture.The new Zeta Halo open-world environment is alarmingly tiny, which makes its lack of biome diversity even harder to comprehend.That awful feeling of steering a four-wheeler or tank into a tiny tree and having your movement screech to a halt.That inimitable feeling of leaping over a massive hill on a Warthog four-wheeler, then landing with Halo's classic bounciness.Master Chief and his new AI assistant shine in their vocal performances, and they breathe life into a compelling, intrigue-filled story.Grappling hook adds speed, precision, exploration, and fun to Master Chief's core ability suite without feeling as gimmicky or annoying as other games' experiments.There's hardly a stinker in the game's variety of old guns and new, both human and alien.Open-world level design resembles and expands upon the best ideas in the original trilogy's "wide linear" outdoor zones.The series' modern handlers at 343 Industries have finally nailed a balance between reverence for classic Halo mechanics and smart ideas to push the game into new adventuring heights.Until then, I'll comfort myself with the parts of Halo Infinite I genuinely enjoyed, along with the post-campaign whimsy of combing the game's unseemly, low-detail edges in search of fun combat and reasons to zip around with this spiffy new grappling hook. ![]()
