took a bit to get the hang of the heatwave shotgun thing. It's like the scattershot from 4 with the bounce, but it's aligned either horizontally or vertically (swaps like the plasma cutter from dead space). you sort of swap based on if you think you can hit them with all the vertical bolts, or if it's better to hit with some of the horizontal bolts. I like it

It looks very disappointing so calibrate your Story And Lore Expectations accordingly.

had a weird sound issue where all the gunshots were minimal volume, so it was just a very sort of awkward "oof, uh OH" grunts

I can skip cutscenes. As long as we get a level with the tank, a few warthog sections, some flying in a vehicle we'll never use again, and then doing those same levels backwards at night I'm good.

Hasn't the campaign been shown to be more like Farcry? Will it even have levels?

Lmao I just realized the gundam skin references Zeta Gundam specifically because the game takes place on Zeta Halo

Lol that the ODST ai improvement is just "grenade throws guaranteed to hit" and "can magdump pistol with perfect aim"

I'm not sure it's physically possible for me to pull the trigger that fast, and those two things seem to be the only real difference in "skill"

I prefer PS4/PS5 controllers so that's the way for me. The matchmaking is done by control input, and not platform - so get whichever platform suits you the most.

Okay I peeked at some of the spoilers and mostly I don't care about the story but the name of one location is apparently the 'Silent Auditorium' which sounds like the dumbest knockoff of Silent Cartographer imaginable. Couldn't even use a synonym for silent? Looking through all of this, (not sure what is fake, or if this is the full story or just some elements) there's some things I like here and some things I don't like. POSSIBLY BS POSSIBLY HUGE SPOILERS: It sounds like you spend the majority of the game running around Zeta Halo finding scattered UNSC Marines or Spartans (or recovering the bodies of dead Spartans) and helping them out, which does give the impression of a big open world game with lots of side content that is optional. There are also a lot of named enemies, Brutes or even Grunts who have backstory, which actually sounds cool? Like "This grunt is named so-and-so and he fought in such and such war and was known for being really good with plasma rifles" stuff like that. There's a new alien species introduced who has been imprisoned on Zeta Halo by the Forerunners. They are trying to rebuild Zeta Halo and also escape by allying with the Banished Brutes. You obviously have to stop them. Also it ends up Cortana is stored inside Zeta Halo and if you can get her back maybe she'll be back to normal and not crazy. (basically trying to retcon 4 and 5 and bring Cortana back to the status quo) There's some big setpiece battles, overall it gives me a very Halo 1 feel, which is kinda the direction that I wanted them to take the series in. That said, this all feels extremely Star Wars Force Awakens, just kinda... retreading ground without really changing anything or introducing anything too crazy. Another halo ring, whoo? We'll see how it actually all plays out, the devil's in the details. Sounds a lot less stupid than the story of 4 or 5 though, I'll give them that. Spoiler-free TLDR: It sounds less stupid on paper than 4 or 5, but doesn't seem to take many risks. We'll have to see how the actual details play out.

Not taking a whole lot of risks and sticking with a known formula sounds like a good idea if Halo 5 was as much of a shitshow as everyone says it was. (disclaimer: never played Halo 5)

I'm really enjoying Infinite. As long as they get the performance and bugs worked out I think it's going to be real good. I wish there was a way to give feedback right in the client though. Googling around a bit shows me no easy way to bug report. Rebinding my PTT button crashes the game, lots of settings not saving. Quiet audio for everything but chatter and pain grunts so I'm running around only really hearing "uh! AHH, erg!"
