- Halo Infinite Multiplayer reviewed by Stella Chung on PC. Also available on Xbox.
It's so nice when a game actually lives up to sky-high expectations! Halo Infinite has been one of the most anticipated games out there since it was first announced three years ago, and for its multiplayer component to so fully deliver on the series' classic feel while also keeping up with the modern-day competition in the FPS genre is a huge achievement. With some fantastic map design, a collection of straightforward but highly engaging modes for both large and small groups, excellent weapons and gear options, and those delightfully bouncy and sticky grenades, Halo Infinite's multiplayer modes put it in the top tier of competitive shooters. Impressively, it manages to give nostalgic veterans the best of what they remember Halo multiplayer feeling like while also smoothly introducing new players to the joys of Spartan combat.

“Not hearing a 7-foot-tall Spartan sneak up behind you is incredibly frustrating”
Covenant: First time?
LMAOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOO
They’re a Spartan not a brute, of course someone that strong can be silent
Not hearing their bullets while they are shooting directly behind you is not acceptable tho. Audio is completely broken in this game for dozens of different surround headsets and setups
Master Chief at the beginning of Gravemind: “Boo.”
Never used the 360° radar?
The core gameplay is masterpiece, they only need to fix the progression system.
also need to fix the pricing
@@DirtyDooney22 true
I'm the opposite, the gameplay still feels naff, balancing and map control is not a thing. It's too chaotic.
And game modes
@@SpartanV41 We need more chaos in mp shooters. COD making every map completely symmetrical and "fair" made it hella boring.
Never been that into multiplayer shooters but I've been playing this almost non-stop.
Halo is the best MP of all time trust me
@@A_mir0_0 the lack of progression system and in game stat tracker keeps it from the tops for me. But its still great fun
@@A_mir0_0 facts
same
@Lee Wilson Uhhh... All the maps and modes are there. 343 themselves said that in the beta, everything is already there that is going to launch. So dont expect anything new in terms of modes or maps. Its pretty much just gonna be a campaign launch. They might fix some bugs or help progression a little bit but that is about it they could really do in about 2 weeks from the release
Quick Tip: DONT focus on the head if they still have shield; instead get rid of their shield then go for the head. shielded enemies take the same amount of damage everywhere
My friend who’s played since halo 3 somehow didn’t know this
I'm not trying to be mean or anything. But for real if someone didn't know this after playing a couple of the games so far... That's a shame xD. Like it's even the way you kill elites typically, even if you only play the campaign.
They show these tips when you die dummy. Everyone should know this already
Does the damage that exceed shields get buffed by headshots? I'm pretty sure sniper and the vk can kill shielded enemies with a headshot
If your shot would break the shield before all of its damage is dealt, you should aim for the head. The extra damage will be head damage and might kill.
Especially relevant for BR and Sniper Rifle.
Genuinely the most fun I've had in years with a multiplayer game.
Fr
Absolutely!
Loving it
Not nearly as fun as halo 1, 2, or 3.
🤟🏾
Really hoping this brings Halo back to its glory days
Its over just shut up already
@KingInTheNorth This game cant keep attention span, but the 14th edition of call of duty does🙄
@KingInTheNorth there's still a massive skill ceiling dude what do you mean
@@johnny44937 The King is back. Get butthurt already.
@@akira-xp3mm lol, cod died when they made infinite warfare. That, and everything after that has been excruciatingly painful to play.
I’m not a mp fan in general. But man halo infinite is very accessible.
Oh really, thanks for letting everyone know
@@TheTruth-13 I’ll never understand why weirdos respond like this. What’s wrong? Mommy didn’t love u enough?
@@brownpelican6244 me neither, people are weird as hell 🤣
Yea accessible to cheaters which is now growing, since it’s a free to play game the cheaters can make multiple accounts
@@TheTruth-13 clean your nossy
The longer Time-to-Kill makes double kills and triple kills feels even more satisfying!
It doesn't even feel longer than previous Halos, she also compared it to COD lol
@@speedforce117 The flights had a shorter ttk
@@speedforce117 it feels faster but still slow enough to feel like Halo.
The ttk feels so amazing, and it feels hella balanced too.
TTK is perfect. If you hit your shots, you can get a double with a single AR mag.
Well, color me surprised seeing the gameplay footage, the reviewer actually knows how to play the game.
Thanks! My competitiveness doesn't let me stop playing games till I'm happy with my carnage lmao
Opposed to the ign employee with no thumbs who showed off gameplay a few weeks back? Then yes
@@chriswyatt9869 poor Ryan lol
@@ParallaxStella you were ripping Stella, nice work.
Doesn't mean they know what they're talking about.
With a better progression system it would be a 10
and maybe sprinkle a few more maps and modes whilst they are at it
I’d say a strong 8/10. The matchmaking is still an issue and it could definitely use more creative and a more diverse mode deflection. Everything else, especially the gameplay loop is great.
@@ollytherevenant1653 agreed, hopefully we get some new creative modes at launch
Its not just the progression though, The whole customization for spartans is locked behind paywalls. Halo was never like this and it just isn't right.
In 2001 maybe.
Definitely the best shooter you can get this holiday.
and it's not even fair
Without a shadow of a doubt. They just have to change the progression system and make some changes to the customisation
glad halo is getting recognition from more ppl outside of the halo community. this is great for the future of halo.
MP is free so....
That ain't saying much
A 9 is a fair score, the progression is a slog that needs to be fixed.
Whaaa😭😭😭😭
I wanna samurai armor
Whaaaa😭😭😭😭
9 isn't fair
@@tommot5100 we found him folks, the guy who spent money on the battle pass and will buy all $1000 worth of cosmetics in the store. In short, this guy stole his moms credit card
@@christianandrade2973 yes it is the game is fantastic to play
It lacks a proper progression system but the actual gameplay is amazing.
@@Garybell09 9 for gameplay yes but the multiplayer in general maybe a 7 or 7.5. least amount of content in Halo history, terrible progression, lack of maps, modes, customization, takes forever to grind, no forge, no Spartan rank
As soon as they change the xp - like they promised please - this is a 10/10. The sandbox & game play is amazing. Unlocks need a change and they should release new maps next month
@HANDIDLY one of the better overall launches in recent times though
@@RandomTreats yah it’s remarkably stable. I’m so use to buggy broken launches
@HANDIDLY the full game launches in a month, they’ve had years to develop it and then an extra year to improve it again. How is this game in infancy?
Act man did a video on all the stuff/games modes missing from multiplayer
Leaving aside progression and monetization, for me the game is extremely fun and perfect, each match puts a smile on my face, win or lose.
This is gonna be my go-to mp game for a long time. Particularly after the lackluster Vanguard and BF2042. Great game.
War world 3 lol
@@MrTikie9405 No
Nah fr man. This game caught me off guard
xD
Baby's first shooter
7:00 a roundabout way of saying "it has a little something for everyone"
Give this reviewer a raise!
papa ign bless my end of year review LMAO
Na
This was a Stella-r review...
Get out 😂😂😂
One of the most solid IGN reviews I've seen in awhile.
The core gameplay is absolutely nailed, while the reviewer also reflects the community's very valid concerns regarding progression and monetization.
It's impossible for me to stop playing this awesome game. Bringing me back to the old days of Halo pushed it beyond!
This is nothing like the old halo games what are you talking about
sweet, they actually got someone that knows how to play to review it!
Not really sure about that, in this gameplay all of his deaths were edited out.
@@hakjie1112 the reviewer is female..
@@hakjie1112 There were still some great kills and killstreaks in this. She's clearly skilled.
@@hakjie1112 even if they were, most of the footage is actually competent play, at least much better than most other stuff IGN released (like that atrocious IGN first video on Streets map)
@@vanquish421 Thank you! Currently Plat 2 in ranked and climbing :)
the mp would be a 10 if they can fix progression and custimization
When you realize - they're reviewing a beta; who knows what they could string together last minute.
Custim
And bring back assassinations
and the completely broken surround sound
@@neilcognito that's real smart too. Now they can address pretty much everything ign has had issues with and finish it before official release
I’ve never really played halo multiplayer, even as a huge fan. This has been the best multiplayer experience since Titanfall 2.
What you’re playing here is basically Halo 3 with some updated mechanics. It’s nice.
Where tf have u been?
@@SONICgokuverine Yeah for me that and a bit of reach in terms of weapon bloom, art style, etc.
Titanfall 2 is epic
Dude, i'm a huge Halo fan but Titanfall 2's gotta be the best multiplayer shooter i've ever played in terms of gameplay alone
Probably one of the strongest reviews from ign I’ve seen in recent memory
Except saying the commando isn’t beefy when it has one of the fastest ttk in the game
Microsoft and 343i were so close to releasing a game that wasn't ready and probably would've killed the franchise for years to come. By delaying it a year they have given a huge shot in the arm to the franchise, and if the campaign can get a 8 or 9 Halo is gonna completely rocket back to being a top tier/must play franchise!
Uhhh a year delay and it still looks like a Medicore last gen joke bland gameplay and map design 😓 is this how bad it is on Xbox this is the junk you gotta hype up and defend
My only issue with the multiplayer is the progression system and inconsistent melee system, things this review mentions very well. Other than that this is easily the best multiplayer FPS of the year. Great review IGN.
Thank you so much! Those issues are exactly what I touched on haha
What is this "inconsistent melee" stuff? It feels consistent, to me. Get within like 2 feet of the opponent, and you'll hit them.
@@pickledparsleyparty
From my experience, sometimes I’m literally in Melee range looking directly at an enemy and it doesn’t register the hit. That’s from personal experience but others may be experiencing it too, just as Stella pointed out in her review.
@@pickledparsleyparty I provided visual footage of it being inconsistent? You can literally see it lmao
@@ParallaxStella get gud
I'm obsessed with the Multiplayer gameplay!
Fancy seeing you in an IGN comment section after their last multiplayer gameplay video.
Kevin, are you….
Staying tuned and getting all the details?
How is time to kill a negative? All halos have had a longer time to kill and is one of the main characteristics that distinguishes it from other fps games
It's her personal preference...she wants to get more kills quicker..... ofcourse halo fans love it... because it shows the skill gap...9/10 when you get killed ..it wasn't just because someone saw you first..but because you were outplayed..or fatigued
I've been having so much fun with the multiplayer. The gameplay is really solid.
A lot of IGNs reviews have just been memes as of the last few years, but I'm loving Stella's even-handed coverage, enthusiasm, and fps chops!
Its almost as if now that reactionary hate from gamerzgate incels has died off, we can appreciate IGN for its comfort food-style game reviews again. :)
@@jord.an6123 what does gamergate have to do with IGN making bad reviews?
It’s refreshing to listen to a reviewer who deeply understands the mechanics of the shooter they are reviewing. Awesome job!
Been playing this on the Series X while my wife plays Pokemon Diamond on her Switch. Having a great time!
To be fair, the plasma pistol and pulse carbine are utility weapons. They’re not meant to kill, just quickly break sheilds or shut down vehicles.
Also to be fair, they do neither in this game lol
She did A great job reviewing halo multiplayer
Shoot this looks like a 10 compared to what I’ve experienced in battlefield 2042 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly come launch day December 8th it probably will Re-review as 10/10
343 just needs to iron out the minor bugs like the melee damage, and also overhaul the progression system to be more consumer friendly.
They seem to have created the GOAT Halo but they have to tweak those final few issues.
The campaign looks 10/10 too so far from what we have seen and heard. This game has an opportunity to go into “all time greatest” tier like the OG Halos did.
Ima get an Xbox just for this and gears lolll
What’s wrong with bf2042? i’ve heard some negative stuff about it, i’ve yet to play it
The truth about Battlefield is…..it’s battlefield.
@@AlexDiaz-sf4qj it’s a typical battlefield, so if you don’t get a vehicle, you’re screwed. What’s almost worst is getting passenger in a vehicle with a driver that’s playing a different game in their head.
Agreed on the score. The TTK is perfect--it is a thinking person's shooter; you have to think on your feet and reversals are definitely possible. Oftentimes each encounter is like a puzzle to solve.
@@endiii27 Less weird and random than that.
This game will kill it for the next couple of years.
No no, the plasma pistol is for charging up, and taking an enemies' shields straight off. Follow up with a pop from your pistol or whatever. Classic!
Me a PS player: Cries in corner with splitgate in hand.
If only the monetisation system wasn’t horrific
The shotgun is so bad
1. The moment to moment gameplay is amazing. By far the best shooter of the year in this area.
2. The progression system is hot garbage.
3. The microtransactions and cosmetic paywalls are unacceptable. 343 needs to address this now. At the very least basic color customization should not be locked behind a paywall.
4. The bad implementation of TAA (temporal anti-aliasing) makes everything look super blurry when moving and cannot be disabled. This really needs to be addressed.
Just accept micro transactions are a thing 🤷
@@haunteddreams7856 that's the attitude that got us into this mess in the first place. A generation of kids who don't know better raised on f****** cell phones and tablets / mobile games. Conditioned to be complacent about these practices from a very young age. Slowly but surely these practices continue to become more egregious. With each new generation they condition more acceptability of exploitative monetization. Gone are the days when people would actually raise a fuss about horse armor in a single player game. Sad times we are in.
@@Agumon5 Well said.
@@Agumon5 without the microtransactions this wouldn't be free to play. Do you not get that? I'll take a free game thanks, who cares about the colour of my character?
Little Tip: The Plasma Pistol and Pulse Carbine are shield killers, for example, one pulse carbine shot plus 2 pistol shots with sidekick kills, or 1 shot to the head with a br, mess with them more it helps
Yeah, the plasma pistol actually is fantastic especially since it can disrupt even Over Shield
Are you new to halo
@@fattlebieldproductions3198 no
How can you review a Beta? It is still a beta. IGN: 1:07 “Yeah, It’s technically in beta”, 1:16 “…so, for all intents and purposes (like getting an IGN review out fast) it’s fully launched, you can tell it’s launched, because there are micro-transactions for sale…” What?! So, with logic, then Star Citizen has launched too?! Is like Stella knew this, said as much to IGN upper management, but they gave her that line to tell us, and she drank the Kool-Aid.
Smh. You do realize that its in a weird early access state tho right? Like it got brought to the public early because they felt confident they can do it and tweak things up and have it ready just before the Main game releases so it is in "Beta" or "Early Access"
Sony and Nintendo fan here.... THIS MULTIPLAYER MODE IS INSANE AND DESERVES A 10/10 HONESTLY.
Halo is BACK !!!
If they don’t let people pick the game mode they want, this game might fail. Not everyone wants to play objective in ranked and it gets tiring when it’s obvious that your teammates are just going for kills when the game mode is odd ball or something. Idk it’s just really annoying that we can’t get traditional stand alone game modes. And no SWAT? Come onnnn
For people mad about progression it can and will be changed. What matters is the game at a fundamental level is incredibly fun and addictive.
_Halo is back and it’s here to stay._
they already changed it
Yeah. The feedback was already heard during beta but the execs ignored it. They are currently still trying not negotiate this and won't be fixed anytime soon except a couple bandaid patches.
@@RiskyWiskyHD this is the beta. And they explained already that the progression system changes won’t be ready for launch without a complete redesign. So they have heard and already addressed it, don’t spread misinformation.
I'd like more Big Team Battle maps. Hopefully when forge comes out, whenever that is.
6 months
my only gripe is that TTK has no impact on 1v2
all involved parties are using presumably the same weapons in hypothetical, they gain the same things you do, result is the same
Halos about planning before running in, thats why there's extra weapons spawning in all over the place. Well placed grenades can get you that double kill too.
Yeah I'd argue multi kills are easier to get with the higher time to kill. More opportunities for enemies to miss critical shots.
Comando literally has nearly a third faster kill time than the BR, it’s just harder to land shots. It’s ttk is the same as the AR but you can do it from long range. It’s clip is just slightly shallower in comparison to the BR so if you’re a little messy or in a 2v1 you’re gonna have to reload which makes it feel weaker in the moment.
Best weapon in the game though, other than the sniper, is the stalker rifle by far. Christ is that thing just a super power. Absolutely love it.
Honestly people used to playing other games may think TTK is long but it’s probably the shortest TTK in any halo game. Feels like you die incredibly fast
This game is so addictive. And the learning curve is really reasonable, at least with my experience with big team battle so far.
Fiesta helped understand the weapons and learn the curve. Also a reach and 5 Swat addict, I’ve been melting ppl in infinite now!!
I’m really enjoying Infinite’s multiplayer, first time we’ve had a more classic feeling Halo in years. The monetisation of this game on the other hand is just awful and needs to be changed.
The challenges are very user-friendly! You can also complete them via beating bots, something that most multiplayer FPS games lack thereof, especially for full-time working individuals like myself.
The longer time to kill is fundamental to the whole Halo games gameplay and really doesn't get enough recognition. It gives time for players to move, strafe and jump, it gives time for players to run and hide, it gives time to throw grenades that could kill after your death or save you, it gives time for team battling, it gives more opportunity for those not getting the first shot to be able to kill, it gives those with short range weapons some hope against medium range weapons it gives those that are holding an objective object more hope that they will survive with it even if unarmed. There's a lot more tension in game play due to all that and alot more appreciation can be had for each kill as they are more memorable. Diverse movement matters, following your targets matter, choosing which targets out of a group of enemies matters, grenades become very viable weapons even after the enemy has spotted you.
All the PlayStation fan boys disliking the video is truly pathetic. As a PC gamer, I’m enjoying this multiplayer for Halo, very smooth experience, one the best Halo multiplayer in a LONG time.
IGN actually giving a fair review?!!
Having a lot of fun with this. It feels like the old days of Halo 3. Two gripes: 1) The motion tracker is damn-near worthless and 2) the range on the gravity hammer is RIDICULOUS.
This game keeps crashing on my OG xbox one. Ordered a series S because of this. Can't wait.
The S is awesome. It may have a small storage but now with Xcloud being on console...... You never have to download anything again
Not everyone knows but Stella Chung is a pro FPS shooter lol
Lets beg they give the campaign a 10/10.
4:38 the plasma pistol isn't meant to be used to kill, its meant to be used as utility, meaning using it while having another weapon. Same thing with the carbine, but that one will kill even with a few more shots
Quick Tip: When you run out of ammo while shooting someone, do not reload… Instead, switch to alt weapon or melee if within range…much faster.
The MP doesn’t officially release until December 8th alongside campaign. This is technically still Beta access. If people think it’s currently a 9/10, then perception of the overall game should bode well in a few weeks.
The high TTK is to encourage team play as you said and to increase the skill required to finish an interaction. Instead of just being able to whip around and instakill someone, you have to sustain your accuracy
Confused why they wouldn’t have a OG halo fan review this.
They just updated the XP gain for multiplayer. The game stands at a soild 10/10 for me
Man the multiplayer is righteous! Some of the best I've played in years!
Why is someone who is not a Halo multplayer veteran not reviewing this? Complaining about time to kill? Really?
It's very hard to put the xbox series x controller donw in this game, super addicting!
Anyone else get that weird audio bug where voicelines get repeated two or three times?
It really makes you feel, like a spartan!!
Halo infinite is so addicting, 343 really hit a home run with this
Let’s just hope they don’t lose the momentum
Can we please have more of this person reviewing games? I've generally avoided IGN reviews for so long but man this girl is great! Just the right amount of detail and you know she knows how to play too
Can anyone tell me how the progression/leveling is? Or if its there? My fav part of Halo 2/3 was the leveling system. How does it work here?
Best "beta" ever.
Its the best shooter out now
The pulse carbine is used for takein down shields the bulldog in an underpowered shotgun and the commando is meant to be used in burst and plasma pistol to eat shields. This is a great review but keep in mind some weapons are best situationally.
Yup. These new players don’t know how to play halo haha
Gotta charge plasma pistol, depletes shield completely then either quick switch, or melee one hit. Can make life easier if used that way
noob
HALO IS BACK! LET'S GOOOOO
As a long time halo fan I’m so happy everyone’s enjoying the new game. They’ve nailed the gameplay so well.
this game has so much potential especially when forge drops. THEY JUST NEED TO FIX THE PROGRESSION, CUSTOMIZATION AND SOME OF THE WEIRD WEAPON INCONSISTENCIES
The plasma pistol is one of my favorites! It takes down vehicles and shields prepping opponents for a headshot.
It doesn't take down vehicles anymore.
Game is mad addictive
And even further showing your the best reviewer IGN has!
Very surprised at how fun it is. First time since Halo 3 I’ve wanted to play
I've played halo 2 to halo infinite muliplayer, and this one combines all the previous titles well. This is the most fun I've had outside of custom games.
The ttk in this game is waaaayyyy too long but you can instantly get killed faster than an actual weapon with a melee like wth
Halo have had always high TTK since halo 1
@@mistaJ. lol grew up playing 3.
@@sebastian1929 high ttk isnt vaible to succesful gameplay today
@@brycel.8291 who said that?
@@brycel.8291 Meh, not all shooters need to be twitchy and all about reaction time. Let games be different.
As a Halo vet. you mirrored my thoughts mirrored exactly, maintains the old skool Halo essence while bringing the formula up to date.
Wow, now we have the same customization of halo ce and halo 2 10/10
Hint, you don't simply run up behind a spartan, you walk
Plasma pistol and pulse carbine can be useful as secondaries, they melt shields
9 ? Rightfully so! This game brings back so many memories of halo 3 :)
Now it just needs a progression system that makes sense and customization content and options like Halo 3+ instead of 90% being put behind a paywall, and it’d be a masterpiece
Shout out to Stella for the great review, especially after just doing the Battlefield one. Also shout out to the music in this video.
I've been so down lately realizing how arena shooters have pretty much lost all place in esports. It hurt to see Halo fall from grace since reach, but this was truly a refreshing experience and I'm all for supporting this game to bring arena shooters back. Season pass is ok, just needs some progression and pricing tweaks.
Loving the game so far... Makes me feel like a kid again which is something I've missed in games for a while now! Also hope everyone has a great thanksgiving!!
yeah it's a blast... happy halodays!
Halo infinite 90+ on metacritic incoming
The higher ttk is part of the game, makes those multikills something earned, instead of a spray and pray situation.
You know headshots only do extra damage when the shields are down right
