    I can't pinpoint why, but seeing Jake appear on camera to thank everyone for watching the Before You Buys this year seems so wholesome to me!:) As someone who has been tuning in for the daily Gameranx video upload (Top Ten list video, Friday Show, Before You Buys, and so on) every single day this year, I genuinely want to thank everyone on the Gameranx crew (Jake, Falcon, Andrew, etc.) for putting in the time and effort to make the daily videos possible. The work that you all put in behind the scenes making videos for people like me to enjoy on the daily should never go unnoticed, so thank you! :D

      Yeah it needed a little more, could have used snow, warthog run, the road level could have been 3x as long, there were some cool things in halo 4 and 5 that they didn’t try to replicate like flying a pelican for example, I also liked the grunt holding a skull in 5, more story in 5 but people complained about that, we skipped too far ahead imo, completely missed the Cortana war, where is Halsey?

    What you said about the "floaty" warthog is entirely true. I can't count how many times the warthog has flipped over in multiplayer because of a small bump.

    I will say as a huge Halo fan the missions in the tunnels from nexus to silent auditorium were super awesome. I've seen a lot of people/reviewers complain about them and from an outsider (not a huge halo nerd) I can understand why. However, if you are a huge halo nerd or just remember playing ce, 2, and 3 you will love the tunnels architecture as it brings back rooms, spaces, scenery not seen since there respective halo installment. One example, (spoiler free) is the gondola from Halo 2 making its return in one part, etc. so if your a big halo fan you don't gotta worry about that part

I mean, God of War (2018) was delayed internally and there were rumors of troubled development at Sony Santa Monica, but the game ended up being great. Same is true of Halo Infinite.

      @DexLuther 2 роки тому +1

      It's still an open world as opposed to the other games where one mission and story would lead directly into the next. In an open world the mission just sits there until you feel like getting around to it as if the enemy just sits there doing nothing as you run around wrecking other shit all over the place. Sure, you can play one story mission after another, but that's not how the game was designed. You probably have to do some of the side stuff to progress in the story.
      Is there a difference if you play just the story missions straight though? I doubt it.
      At least with the mission structure of past Halo games they had the excuse of not having the time to call reinforcements or sure up defences. Even if they were warned that bad guys were on the way (to the bad guys you are the bad guy), you'd show up before help could get there for them.

    I feel Halo: Infinite is going to go the way of Games as a Service, but in terms of using Infinite as a platform to launch large scale DLC content, so there won't be a Halo: Infinite 2, but a fluid continuation. It'll be modular, as Multiplayer and Campaign being separate has already shown.

      @@JuanMartinez-vr7bg Legendary was a lot of fun, but boy are some of the bosses straight booty on legendary. And a few of the non-boss/mini-boss sections were almost just as hard if not harder. Hunters are SCARY again in this game, at least on Legendary, which I enjoyed. They're so fast.
      Other than a few of the bosses and the indoor chieftan/hunter sections, this was a very easy campaign on Legendary compared to the other Halo games solo, but boy do they make up for the difficulty with those fights.

    The thing is, while it is true Halo Infinite is an open world game, you can't let your pre-conceptions of that get in the way. You gotta just play it like Halo. The open world activities are simply a vehicle that 343 used to hand-craft interesting Halo combat encounters. In my opinion, using the open world to the game's advantage gave me one of the most widely varied Halo gameplay I've had to date.

    I'll be honest. First, good to see Halo going back to its roots and I think this game will be good. However, pretty disappointed if there are no variety in biomes. All of the Halos (at least the ones that took place on the installations), had unique mission biomes and it is a significant miss if that isn't in this game. Just thought that issue was forgiven and underplayed a little in the gameranx review.

      From what I remember the reason it's called infinite was due to the idea of them adding more to the ring.

I imagine they are going to stick to that idea and continue the story and add more map in seasons.

      @@mastergroggle1825 From what I've heard it won't be coming till May 2022. I'm disappointed that co-op isn't being implemented at launch especially since they've had 6 years to work on the game.

      @@jonburford633 Yeah I agree completely. Imo they shouldn't have dropped the game period till the WHOLE package was ready. Forge, Custom games, theater, multiplayer with the correct playlists and stuff, campaign all ready all of it. As it should be with all games.
      But May? So when Season 2 drops? That's so long tho man

    I'm a big fan of the multiplayer, but I really hope for more content. As for the single player, as long as the story is there, then so am I.

    Honestly, I just played it on PC, and I loved it. It's probably my favorite campaign. And that's honestly the interactions between the new Cortana and Chief. Like, it's great. And I liked the pilot that saved Chief right at the start of the game. The game plays great and I couldn't stop playing it.

    I am happy with the focus on the particular feature of the open-world concept because it was something that annoyed me 5 minutes into leaving the first 'main mission'. I can appreciate the move to this style of game, but there is something so exasperating and annoying about having to travel across a map and have various encounters and complete a laundry list of tasks versus having a packaged up 'level' for you to play. Certain games have mastered this and made it enticing to explore and have numerous 'side quests', take Dark Souls. Truthfully, ODST had some open world exploration and hidden secrets, but there was this continuous push and direction towards the main event of the 'mission'. Maybe I am just too focused on this particular facet, but Halo to me should have kept to the old style of campaign and thus previous Halo games still take the cake for me for campaign (Love me some Reach or Halo 3).

    I played almost all the halo games right before Infinite and I'm actually enjoying Infinite gameplay the most so far. I only started the intro for ODST before infinite came out and tbh I didn't really feel like playing any more of it anyway. I was disappointed that there was no co op because I never enjoyed playing halo by myself, but that's why I feel like I like infinite over the others. Now granted I've only played the intro and some open world so far, but I'm enjoying my time solo. I'll still being impatiently waiting for co op though as back when I first played halo I have always done it co op.

    I never got around to playing Halo 5. Played all the other ones and enjoyed them. Not a super Halo fan, but definitely looking forward to the campaign after playing the multiplayer for a couple weeks.
