      They did say this will be the foundation for the next 10 years of Halo stories. I think the name Infinite was supposed to be reflective of that as Zeta Halo will probably open up more as the years go by and they start dropping expansions that take us to different locations like beaches, jungles, deserts, and snow. Could also be why they decided to launch this game without co-op as they probably have a release schedule for a lot of new content that they can't keep putting off.

      Halo: The Master Chief Collection is a good set of games. Halo: CE (Halo 1), looks a bit plain in the opening scenes on the ship, but it picks up a lot from there. Yeah they feel a little stiff compared to new games, but the vibes were almost unmatched. Halo 1 and 2 felt like they were woven from magic. Not sure if that conveys to new players in 2021; I think it might though. The Anniversary Editions of Halo 1 and 2 in Halo: MCC, are excellently remastered.

    This reminds of MGS5 heavily. A focused story driven open world with a consistent design philosophy that thrives off of the strength of the gameplay and emergent elements. There is a cohesiveness to the game. People may wish there was more diversity in biomes (myself included) but it seems to work. My one wish is for more upgrades. I love unlocking more tech, perks, armor, weapons, alt fire modes exc. I think they played it overly safe in that respect.

      I think arguably their biggest mistake was removing or not implementing weapons for the balance of multiplayer. While we will I'm sure at some point get the OG shotgun and a magnum of some type It's disappointing it wasn't there from the beginning. At the end of the day more weapons in the Campaign is always more fun than simple variants.

    I don't think I had high hopes for compelling single antagonist. When I first saw him in that preview last year, didn't really seem to threatening and it just seems he talked to much. Seems like thats the same deal here more or less. When I think of the enemy in Halo games, I normally think its just the overarching threat thats coming. Not much so the focus on an enemy, but like making sure the Halo Ring doesn't fire, stopping the flood or stopping the covenant. I haven't played the campaign yet, but i hope there some overarching looming threat that has some focus in the story.
    That being said, excellent review as always! Can't wait to check out the campaign.

    Despite the crispness of the graphics, it's a shame that the final product doesn't live up to the reveal trailer back in 2018, which to be fair, was just a tech demo of what this engine was apparently capable of. But then we see the 2019 demo and the final version and even those are drastically different with the 2019 version having better lighting, better facial animation, it just looks much much better than the final product. Now I wouldn't say to the degree of a ubisoft downgrade, but it's not where it should be based on what we've seen before.
    I think it's a great base from what we're hearing and reading from these reviews. It's a positive sign that the gameplay is so robust and so enjoyable that hopefully things can only get better from here as it does seem like a relatively polished game which we can't say about a lot of games these days.

    The game looks like it pays homage to the original and for me that’s a buy.. Halo 1 and 2 were my absolute favorites and especially certain sections of the original were truly epic battles in a sci fi setting coupled with the hilarious 1 liners.

    Thanks for the honest review. Major sites are putting this game at a lower 'score' than 2042 - the loss of co-op sucks, but as a few others have said, here is to hoping they do old school expansions, and when it does come out there is a reason to go back.

    It's funny how you consider the opening 1.5 level to be extremely mediocre, while others actually *love* the opening levels due to the build-up, atmospheric setting, and basically being a 100% tribute to Halo 1 and 2's opening-levels. I think it's mostly fan-service and showing off the improved forerunner architecture (and honestly stunning texture work on those). I'm positive opinions on this section of the game will be 50/50 between both fans and newcomers.
