- Halo Infinite Single-Player Campaign reviewed by Ryan McCaffrey on Xbox Series X. Also available on Xbox One and PC.
Halo has meant a lot to me over the past 20 years. From first landing on the ring in Halo 1 to the surprise Arbiter arc in Halo 2 to being heartbroken by Halo 5’s abysmal storytelling, it’s one of the few series in gaming where every new mainline entry really matters to me. After six years, it was fair to wonder: did Halo still belong in the “Best Shooter” conversation? And would I still care about it? I am both relieved and delighted that Halo Infinite emphatically answers both questions with a resounding yes. Turning us loose to explore a massive open ring with almost complete freedom to approach combat with a wide range of iconic guns, vehicles, and toys has absolutely brought Halo’s single-player campaign back into contention as one of the finest out there (to say nothing of the amazing multiplayer suite), and even though it drops the ball a bit with the story and lack of environmental variety, Infinite picks it back up again with style.

343: the game isn’t ready, we’re going to take another year and work close with the community.
DICE: “we’re ahead of schedule”
Game still isn’t ready, launching feature bare is only marginally better than launching buggy
Hold up so you think 343 delayed the game cause they tho they needed more time lmaoo they delayed it cause everyone was complaining if none would of complained they would of drop it like that lol😂🤣
@@Zzz-iz1yt complaining about what? are you slow? why a company would do that?
@@Zzz-iz1yt And don’t even try to edit it either.
@@marcotren didn't everyone laughed at the graphics when they showed it for the first time?
Almost everyone was against this game last year, happy to see this game turned out so well
Just graphically

@@ABoxIsMyHome pony
@@rolandov2 Even though he was defending the game?
Finished the campaign, and as a long time fan who grew up with the series… it pulled at the heart strings. I’m already replaying it as we speak
Hell yeah bro
Do you need Internet to play campaign??? Or can this be played offline
@@randomsimpsonsquotes6033 yeah bro it seems like it
@@randomsimpsonsquotes6033 do you mean, internet as in just wifi in your house, or, internet as in an Xbox Gold/Game Pass Ultimate subscription?
No internet rn so congrats you just sold me time to go get it 🔥
One of the coolest parts of the campaign , is how as you start capturing more fobs around the map and gaining valor, more of your marines show up to each fob, eventually there is more UNSC personnel than banished! It really makes you feel like your rebuilding the UNSC
Then you can give them power weapons and they will destroy the banish! So satisfying
so...far cry
Didn’t even notice this happening to be honest.
@@ruanquang3367 Far Cry also has guns. Smh how unoriginal
@@foreverdm7000 thats not really the same thing
"you need the right tool for the right job" proceeds to kill a single grunt with a rocket launcher xD
😂😂😂 underrated comment 😂😂😂😂
Thats what they deserve
It’s about sending a message.
Some men just want to watch the world burn
Imagine seeing an unstoppable force singlehandedly destroying waves and waves of your friends fighting to kill this demon, and then he just carelessly executes a grunt with a rocket launcher. He is so unimpressed by the army you are putting up against him that he is willing to spend precious rocket ammo on the easiest mob. Let that sink in.
Genuinely impressed with this review. It was actually filled with meaningful information that helps me understand the game better.
Wow, so it's like a review
Game looks dull and dry
@@TheTruth-13 then don’t play bro, one sale isn’t a big deal
@@TheTruth-13 didn't asked you to play
@@TheTruth-13 you own a Playstation anyway
It’s honestly exciting seeing how positive the reviews are for this, has me feeling really optimistic and can’t wait to get hands on.
True
It's mostly positive because it's just Far Cry. >.>
it's alright. not bad, but not a blowout. like a 7/10 imo. a lot of bullet spongey enemies and my personal opinion of the story are my only gripes. neither of those are enough to justify a bad review for me tho
@@jays2551 If bullet sponge enemies are your complaint then you shouldn't be playing halo
@@jays2551 play on a harder difficulty, trust me. That’s where the joy comes from.
Wow, IGN. Having a long-time fan review the newest game in the series leads to an actual well-put concise review. Imagine that!
True
Yeah I’m sure there’s no bias involved here lol
Rather have that than a first time Halo Player tbh
@@Zompokio So do you want a first time Halo player? Or someone deeply familiar with the series like McCaffery? Why do Halo fans have to whine so goddamn much.
Well if a long time halo fan enjoyed it but he didn’t enjoy 5 means a true halo fan. I’d rather have someone who understands the series then some random reviewer who doesn’t know who Cortana is.
This time around, the shooting mechanics are solid. The story is the cherry on top. Been having so much fun with the Multiplayer!
Oh man campaign gonna be fire
@رضوان احمد Arabic guy picking on Indian. How sad
@رضوان احمد don't worry. It is never as smelly as your mind is.
@رضوان احمد lol the most unhygienic community talking about smelly turban how ironic 😂
@رضوان احمد why you gotta insult my man? What did he do to you personally? Steal your woman?
Can’t wait to get outta sweaty multiplayer and just chill in campaign

You must be really bad at the game.
@@mrthief6214 invented*

I'm a campaign guy and this looks absolutely incredible
Have you by any chance heard of "FarCry 3?"
But it isnt incredible 🤣
@@Gottfrequenz69 u would fit right in on the Halo reddit
@@Gottfrequenz69 lmao but it is… have you actually played it?
@@MrMGR1986 the open world and the missions in halo are so boring...so repetetiv...and you saw the end fight? Boring af
Jen Taylor was amazing. Voicing three characters but the acting for the Weapon was exceptional
funniest thing this year, a game we all thought would fail actually surpassed the ones we thought would win
It took them launching broken and halo being rushed for this to come about though 😐
Only 6 months to go till they actually have the old features people are used to
@@FILTHYGEARSMUSIC that’s not that big of a deal
@@FILTHYGEARSMUSIC how was halo rushed and broken. The beta plays like its a released game
@@jounamo6035 exactly. The only problem they had was mcc online launching broken and halo 5 weak campaign.
@@jounamo6035 bro…it’s missing so much damn playlists lmao, and the sad part, is 343 didn’t even start working in them till everyone started getting annoyed at the lack of them, that’s just sad
“There won’t be a singly player campaign if we don’t stop the banished!”
Too bad it's an Xbox exclusive
Foto bitte
@@population-_-420 pretty sure microsoft doesnt do exclusives anymore, Its available on pc
@@duuke4618 windows is Microsoft property so without windoes no steam or epic so its kinda exclusive 👀
@@fireballs7346 "exclusive" to 75% of computers isn't really exclusive. Windows 10 is a free OS
Not too disappointed about the variety of environments. Important thing is it looks as though the game has a solid foundation for future content, so releasing dlc/expansions in the future that include different environments should be easily doable. Bring on Wednesday!!!!
True
When your actually playing the campaign its not something you even notice. Plus theres a daynight cycle and every part of the map feels different.
Another 343 fanboy who is happy with a half baked game with a terrible story
@@Frivia agreed, environment is very one note and crap story that tells us what happened instead of experiencing. The fact that the campaign is getting a dlc already shows 343 is just money hungry
@@Frivia fun game, dont care
The aesthetics of the ring In infinite make much more sense. After all, they're weapons built by the forerunners, built to either wipe out all life in the galaxy or to contain the Flood.
Why would there be towns and cities everywhere? In infinite you truly feel like you're in a complete 'man' made alien setting, exactly how it should be.
"For too many years, Humanity was on the backfoot. Reacting the threats rather than preventing them. Rest of the galaxy was bigger than us, stronger than us. We were mice hiding in the shadows, hoping the giants would not see us. No more. Humanity is no longer on the defense. We are the giants now."
"Unfortunately, Humanity is once again pushed back and is now on the brink. This time, not by Giants...... but by Titans."
Dude, nicely done.

Awesome, it's incredible what this game became after the reveal and the delay.
it ended up being boring and terrible. whered the hype go ? oh yea it left with the realization that the story is repetitive garbage
@@Friviafacts bro
There’s a little something for everyone. This game makes you FEEL like Master Cheif
BECOME
Grappleshot
A Freaking Men...
cheif
What do you mean by that? Doesn’t every game make you FEEL like master chief?
The fact that they made the multiplayer free and relied purely on the campaign to make this games sales proves how confident they were in the single player. A definite must buy.
agreed
Other than the fact that their monetization is some of the worst in the gaming industry.
nah they monetized the hell out of the mp so theyre fine. This is Microsoft we're talking about.
But it’s free on gamepass
umm no they didn't rely on the campaign for the games sales lol, the multiplayer monetization is going to bring in plenty of revenue
"You need the right tool for the right job"
Shoots a grunt with a rocket launcher
That is absolutely the right tool for the job. Its a classic Halo move
It's yapyap the destroyer
Yeah because them grunts are too facety.
@@hmm8445 💀
2:09 So you're telling me that a grunt weighs more than Master Chief? They really should not allow grappling towards grunts, they should be pulled.
It's a game
There's a couple of hilarious voice lines that the grunts can voice out when that happens. They obviously kept it like it is for gameplay reasons.
It would be bad if you couple pull the enemies towards you instead of pulling you to them.
Yeah...the Chief weighs 1000lbs/500kg - he would pull every enemy towards him, expect perhaps the Brutes.
The game is nostalgic but also really fresh. There are a lot of subtle callbacks and references to level designs from the original trilogy which are so fun to come across but the story is also really interesting and compelling so far. Haven’t beat it totally yet. But the open world is probably my favorite feature so far. There’s just a lot to do and it’s just fun to be able to collect and upgrade gear to go into the next mission
The daddy's back! Thank you Cod and Battlefield for being terrible this year for Halo!
Terrible and buggy
@@nelnopo7688 we talking about cod and BF right?
@@nomadicle6867 yuh
@@nomadicle6867 ofc
Vanguard is actually pretty fun. I've been having a great time with it. Plus, one thing it has over Bf is that you can actually play it without falling into the ground
I've been a PlayStation player my whole life, Recently downloaded Halo Infinite on my PC and boy it's Lit, gameplay wise it's easily 10/10 (Talking about multiplayer)
Campaign hasn’t came out yet(we all know you’re talking about multiplayer)
PlayStation fans supporting xbox games. Wish all ps players were like this. I'm a ps player aswell.
@@cxruptexternity Are you going to buy Halo Infinite?
play the master chief collection first
That's a shame.
Great review Ryan! Fingers crossed that environmental affects/effects can be added in post (we've seen how they can do it for Holiday themed multiplayer maps) but stoked none the less to get my hands on this Campaign..
I’m so glad Ryan is the one narrating this review, he’s always been a true Halo fan.
That's why they didn't have him review Halo 5 or the Halo Infinite launch multiplayer
9/10 20-25 hour campaign 🔥🔥🔥 can't wait to play it
How much of that will be doing side stuff e.g. 40 propaganda towers (yes, there are 40 propaganda towers for you to do)
@@leeeyles1864 a lot of it was side missions. Just beat it like an hour ago.
@@Amoogus the side stuff and audio logs were more interesting than the actual story
Just over 60% completed, going for every little tidbit and climbing alot of mountains to find Easter eggs (there are alot!), I'm surpassing 20 hours now. Can easily play for another 10-15
This is on heroic for a first playthrough, gotta so legendary next for sure so potentially 60+ hours of campaigning
It's a 10-12 hour story campaign
From shame to salvation, congratulations 343.
Exactly when 1st trailer dropped and all were annoying as hell especially by Sony fans
Halo 4 and 5 werent bad imo, story was weak in 5 though
@@unspokenbrute agreed.
@@Padlock_Steve the art style is the best its ever been.
@@unspokenbrute yeah it's not like these games were attrocious. I've played through both enough to know their weak aspects but there's also a lot to like about them
After 10 years of not playing Halo, since Halo 3, I am finally back home. Infinite multiplayer has been so much fun!
Can't wait for the snowy tundra, desert, urban and beach DLC.
the game looked like dogcrap a year ago. Now it is a must have and system seller. Amazing.
It's not bad but nothing special either.
it really is incredible
It really didnt look that bad last year. Everyone was exaggerating
@@WeirdEdz they really were. It genuinely wasnt even that bad, people are just sheep
@@WeirdEdz it did
Microsoft are turning out banger after banger now. Every game from Xbox game studios is being so well received. This is such a turn around from the Xbox one days. Hats off to Microsoft, and hats off the 343 who seem to have completely redeemed themselves. No only is this a new fantastic halo game with a new game engine. It’s a new halo game that only a year ago was in chaos. Yet they’ve managed to turn it around and release a high quality product. Well done. Can’t wait to play
1. Getting perfect support and one of the best remasters ever made - whole Age of Empires franchise - Definitive Edition and coming DLCs
2. Microsoft Flight Simulator
3. Psychonauts 2
4. Age of Empires 4
5. Forza Horizon 5
6. Deathloop
7. Halo Infinite
All games that were praised by both critics and players. This was Microsoft year where other publishers struggled to release quality content (with few exceptions) and blamed pandemic and remote work
I'm a PlayStation guy and even I've noticed the excellent string of games that Microsoft has dished out recently. Now, the console wars are about to get lit 🔥
CRACKDOWN 4 ANNOUNCED
@Bry Zeer real winner is gamers
Banger after banger? No. The only interesting game they have is halo. Sony isn't much better either
I’ll just say I’m blown away by the campaign, I’m not even close to beating it yet
Not gonna lie, hearing the theme song after all these years gave me chills
Why would you lie?
Liars lie there need no reason
No dislikes, this review must be spot on!
Lol, that’s because TH-cam doesn’t let users see the number of dislikes anymore.
@@PaulRockey dats da joke
@@PaulRockey so the users can think for themselves and not be influenced by a button
@@TheTruth-13 no it’s bad. It’s censors people’s opinions
Nope it's telling people what they want to hear.
They Gave It 9 Out Of 10 😃
Yeah so u guys wouldn't cry about it if it was any lower.
@@syunafrost351 You're not a hater nor a Sony fanboy.
James I’m pretty sure is is
@@doomslayer1210 What!? No way! Not salty either.
@@syunafrost351 sad that ratchet and clank didn't get as high review as forza? Boohoo
This game was an absolute blast, the best campaign since Reach. It’s by far 343’s best work on Halo so far
ehh not the "best" campaign tbh
Between Battlefield - CoD and Halo, Halo definitely won this year. I'm having so much fun with it. Totally worth my 60€
Big dub for 343. With this monster on Gamepass, Microsoft isn't messing around this gen.
Microsoft is still crap lol, Sony ain't much better this gen either
@@loubloom1941 that’s because “Next Gen” or now current Gen.. could have waited a few more years. PS5, SERIES X right now is unnecessary.
@@MR.GOAT. Says you. The graphical output for people with 4k tvs is definitely worth it from both consoles Especially for console gamers, we get more 60fps games. Just saying. Unnecessary maybe on a software stand point, but that's more due to the pandemic than anything else
@@DV-ou1yu nah, says A LOT of people. Slightly better graphics/performance doesn’t warrant buying new consoles. It could’ve waited a few more years so the advancement leap from 8th Gen to 9th Gen would’ve been more substantial. Graphical fidelity is peaking anyway lmao.
Very disappointed to hear the map looks all the same. Was totally expecting at least a snow biome.
the map is already too ambitious for xbox one and having different biomes in the same map would probably kill that console lmao
@@supermadkid red dead redemption 2???
@@ezequiellopezlopez7023 30 fps on xbone and ps4.
Yea a decent story in a sandbox, it's a little lazy, looks fun but definitely some variety in the environments even just a little would be cool
Well done Ryan, another great review with fair criticism. Look forward to you chatting with the team on my podcast soon about your experiences.
It took 3 games, but 343 seems to have found its footing with the franchise. You've got the foundation, now grow it. Let's get some story and map expansions with snowy areas, desert areas, urban areas, and more. Grow the Zeta Halo ring into the promising destructive playground it deserves to be.
Basically expanding on the term “infinite” more
They’ve been had it
Such a promising game! Already dreaming about the Campaign DLC's we'll get.
Campaign dlcs? Dont remember any campaign dlcs for any of the Halo games, perhaps they’re going a different route with Halo 6
Hopefully a snow tundra!
A flood dlc and elites dlc would be really appreciated
@@duuke4618 they claimed that Halo Infinite will be a platform similar to Destiny, where each new DLC brings new stories. Hopefully this includes new maps, new weapons, new vehicles, and new enemies (the flood)
You're dreaming alright....
After Halo 5’s bad campaign 343 really needed to nail this one. I’m happy they went with a more Halo CE open style campaign and the art style, mainly the Forerunner architecture really reminds me of CE too.
Finally a company that actually listened to what the fans want!
@@smmaistheway Except there's no spartan customization, playable elites, forge mode, or co-op.
Halo 5 had a better campaign than this game
Halo 5 campaign was not bad
The guy nailed the review. This one brings joyfulness, excitement and makes me remember why we play games in the first place. Thanks dude, you rock.
really....The game has zero variety, the bosses are all the same in terms of mechanics and vehicle diversity is almost none existent in teh campaign.
I've been playing all the Halo campaigns for more than a year and man, seeing 343 bring Halo back at the top gives me tears of joy
Nice
One year?
The lack of different biomes is reaaaally bumming me out actually
Yeah hopefully they have story dlc that focuses on different type of biomes
They just fixed this game up but lack of variety is stunning for flagship title
@@Games.Gadgets.Sports yeah the problem is the game went through development hell and kept changing directers as well as employees. They never stuck with a plan and kept redoing stuff and also the engine the game runs on is apparenlty kinda broken and needs work
Man I’m hyped for this
Liar
@@population-_-420 you know him better than himself
Same here

Just finished this game yesterday. Freakin love it! (And a long campaign too!)
7 years in development and they didn’t manage to create any variety in levels, nor cutscenes that didn’t include holo grams.
Game looks to be super fun to play and at the end of the day that's all what matters.

Thats what happends when you go open world Its harder to create that vaierty Without making the map much bigger.
Give it time
My guess is the development for this game was absolute hell so, to focus on gameplay and everything happening in the open world, they cut biomes. It’s sad but I’m hopeful for campaign dlc
great review! definitely got me more hype for launch day
Cant wait for this to go on sale. $60 is a bit steep. $30-$40 you got me

Wait until you run into a cheat or two. Ruins the whole experience.
@@Padlock_Steve you are right , but it is annoying if your playing ranked lmao
@@Padlock_Steve Literally ran into cheaters 3 games in a row on ranked yesterday. 343 need to sort this fast or else the game will die. On PC at least, console will probably get crossplay toggle soon enough.

As a long time halo fan who didn’t enjoy 5 im glad halo is back !
Halo never left
Soooo relieved! Great review! Thanks!
The intros for the Banished bosses remind me of the Uruk and Olog-Hai (Troll) nemesis intros from Shadow Of Mordor and Shadow Of War. This is very welcome because it gives these Brutes and Elites a sense of personality.
HALO IS BACK BABY!
It never left
You LOVE to see it
Hey Green Guy.
Your review has been the most positive one so far.
Fantastic review from Ryan as expected
IGN has really grown in the past 10 years. Proud of the positive growth.

im glad they at least tried to continue from where 5 left off some of the books followed characters a bit after 5 but it would have been nice to see more than just try to tie up loose ends
Imagine how amazing pt 7 going to be!
