*What are your thoughts on Halo Infinite's Campaign & Story almost 3 years later?*
Nah
Good Sir, i Cordially Reject this generous offer of Raiding the Darkened Myths at this fine time. Good day.
Man, the resident evil 4 music opened up memories that have been buried for a good bit.
Dude. Raid? You could do so much better. Open a Patreon or something.
It was a colossal failure
The underutilization of zeta halos lore was criminal...
10 Proto-graveminds and a ton of other lore, and all we really get is a completely new faction... with nothing in the way of information about it.
Everything 343 has done in the games imo is criminal
should of had the flood, we all were lead to believing that they would return on the ring
I think there can be a trilogy on Zeta halo and I believe that lore will slowly be revealed in future games
nay, it was heresy!
Everyone should have a person that is as loyal to you as hidden experia is to halo. Imagine someone keeping faith in you for years even after you fuck up everything over and over.
Sounds like a really healthy relationship...
Sounds like my Jesus.
@@ano_nym im not talking about a relationship between lovers. I mean that family member that wont turn their back on you.
@@johljones our Jesus. Amen.
I'll have confidence in Halo, and 343 when they earn it again. Not a moment before. They'd fucked up to many times to give them the benefit of the doubt.
"This year halo infinite turns 3 years old"
I literally yelled out "WHAT? ALREADY?'
I thought "only?" Felt like it was ages ago I played it.
Well, it means we’re closer to the next one. I think the next one has a very bright path it’s set on. New management, no overly complex engine, less pressure.
3 years old and they only recently ironed out major issues like desync (apparently - I haven't bothered to try it myself), and STILL don't have major game modes in matchmaking or a decent ranking system, AND they've only added one gun in that time which was basically the DMR. Nothing interesting. Also, how many maps have they added that they made from the ground up? As far as I know 90% of maps they've added to matchmaking are community-made. 343's 10 year's with Halo have been almost as embarrassing as their 3-years with Infinite.
@@brup123 they did add the major game modes in matchmaking. What are you talking about?
@@brup123 didn't they already have "basically the DMR" in that full auto slow shooting DMR thing?
6 years…. 6 long years… that’s how long it took us to get Halo back.
At first it was going well, then setback after setback, loss after loss…. Made what was going to be a quick and decisive game, into 3 years of hell.
Infinite feels like a tech demo. The full release would have double or triple the vehicles/weapons, different biomes, etc.
It was and still is a tech demo. Guarantee 343 scraps all their progress for the next game too
The whole game to me honestly just felt like a way to usher in their new Free-To-Play trash system of multiplayer to make a lot of money off of cosmetics. Then they couldn’t even put enough effort into that to keep the players invested in the mp for it to last long term
It has more weapons than Halo Reach and just as many vehicles. Those aspects aren't lacking by past release standards, but a shame we didn't get more in the live service
@@Major_Zephyr except for there being more than 3 biomes/environments, an actually good story, not boring open world.
343 leadership made the team scrap 2/3 of the games content
Perhaps the real Halo… was the Infinite friends we made along the way?
😊
real
That's certainly the modern management ethos behind it. PVP first, narrative is irrelevant.
🥲
Ouch. Right in the childhood.
343 “1 step forward 17 steps back” Industries never fails to disappoint
Beautifully stated, 343 absolutely ruined almost everything
@@TrueTributes13Emphasis on “almost”, I have faith the new leadership might have what it takes to turn the ship around
@@gavo7911 lets hope they turn it around🙏🙏
My favourite part of Infinite is when Master Chief doesn't take of his helmet.
I wish they would actually finish a plot line in the games
I know right? I was very disappointed that none of the characters or plot points from Halo 5 were in this game
I think it was Act Man who said _Infinite_ feels like if _Halo CE_ stopped at the Silent Cartographer. It's the first act of a three act story.
@@outtoxicated9104same, I heavily criticize H5 campaign, however, where they left off could’ve easily been recovered. Have chief/blue team, Arbiter, Palmer, Lasky, Halsey, and Locke/osiris team. Imagine infinite having them all work together, maybe losing some along the way, in infinite. Cortana would still be at large, maybe have her recruit the banished. Wouldn’t have to solve the issue in one game, could make it a dark yet glimmer of hope type ending. Have the flood get teased at the end and add DLC
@@darkharder6190We know Locke is some where thanks to the dialouge from the brute who has his helmet.
Shame he never got sections to team up with the chief like the arbiter in 3 and give him a second chance with the fans.
@@darkharder6190 Yes! And imagine if they did 4 players when your could be Chief, Arbiter, Locke, and Buck. How awesome would that have been?
Have to echo your praise for Jen Taylor’s acting. It’s incredible that she can juggle three different characters
In some cases, one right after another in the same cutscene
@@WailfulSeeker82 shes a natural Seth Mcfarlane lol
It’s easy when they’re basically the same character lmao
@@kuailiang6312 that's such a surface-level observation that it's ridiculous
@ganjaguru820 Oh god don't call her that. Hes so insufferable. He doesnt believe in free speech and is such a pompous out of touch delusional person.
I remember me and my dad watching the old trailers for halo infinite and being so hyped, me and him played pretty much every other halo together and then he up and died on me and he never got to experience halo infinite, but I like to thank he was with me on my play through… miss you pops
I'm sorry for your loss
@@Falcon-Actual thank you brother
17:28 21:44 actually there is one vehicle variant. It’s Hyperius’ special chopper, which the game makes sure to give you as soon as there’s nothing left to use it on.
Infinite’s campaign really could have used more content but it is what it is, I had a nice time with it.
it just wasn’t worth anywhere near full price. I feel I got fleeced by 343i
I have never been more disappointed to be fully honest...
I really wish a campaign DLC can be developed for Halo Infinite.
@@theRok29 Lil bro it's $60 not like it was $60 or some shit like a new cod, it's worth it
It's also currently on special xd.
@@Ripa-Moramee it was $90CAD when I bought it on release. $90 for just Infinite’s campaign was absolutely not worth it for me, and many would agree
18:37 Imagine a version of the campaign where a player could load up a Falcon full of Arcane Sentinel Beam wielding Marines...
That sounds awesome.
Its damage dropoff at range would be a problem for a lot of encounters, but it would sure mess up phantoms to get up close from above.
A phantom full of tracker rocket marines, on the other hand, would mess up *everything*.
Literal disco ball
UNSC Glassing Beams
@@xcfjdyrkdtulkgfilhu I thought it just had a short range. Rocket launchers would be good, but I doubt a Falcon would last long in Halo Infinite when pairs of Banshees with godlike tracking and leading spawn constantly to shred any aircraft you're flying in seconds. Phantom door gunners are just as aimbotty.
Fun fact: When I was making my Halo Infinite mod (Combat Reformed, a rework of Halo infinite)
I discovered this, heres what the damage multipliers were for bullets/kinetic and Plasma
For Bullet: 1x against flesh, 1x against shields
For plasma: 1x against shields, and 0.3x against flesh
Ignoring that theres no difference in damage to shields between the two type.
Unless you get a headshot a plasma weapon may as well fire spitballs
A good point around 30:00 actually. Imagine if CE ended after the level Guilty Spark, after a new big bad villain was revealed. Welcome to 343's Halo writing.
I recently revisited it too... I find it funny how you can now return to the Open World after entering the Command Spire and if you do so after that mission ends, Echo 216 enters a schrodinger's cat state of being captured and able to freely fly his Pelican.
For the next game, 343 just need to focus on making the Campaign and Multiplayer a HALO GAME instead of trying to incorporate random aspects of game genres like Loadouts, Advanced Mobility, Open World etc.
All of those random aspects COULD work, but they should mostly stay in spin offs.
@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem exactly... but for some reason either 343 or Microsoft refuse to green light spinoffs.
I honestly had a great time with the semi-open world. Kinda reminded me of ODST but taken up several notches.
@@Byggherrenexcept it was terrible, just alpine splattered over hex walls. I look up and see a ring but when I look around it’s nothing but chunks of floating metal alpine islands. There was more atmosphere just flying in to the arc in h3 than there was in basically this entire game when comes to the setting
The open world was a good idea and definitely something to help this series feel fresh after so many games of the same thing particularly since all of three 4 threes games have been extremely railroady The only problem with it was that it was clearly designed as simply one part of a large number of expansion campaigns heck the story of Halo Infinite Doesn't even have a proper ending
Yeah putting it generously it's been fucking rough...
Your joy for this story and game have kept me going. Thank you for you explanations and great editing. Just beat the campaign for the first time on Legendary solo two weeks ago after playing multiplayer since launch.
Nice job on hitting 600k you deserve it i really love your videos especially the storyline ones with what ifs
Wish it had more Forerunner installations, not just for the campaign but just to explore, it felt pretty barren apart from Banishes outposts and the occasional patrols.
And much more set pieces, weather, animals, a scarab fight wouldve really helped, or any kind of huge conflict with the Infinity remnants and the banished forces, really feels like a wasted opportunity for such a big map
Random events would’ve gone hard, stumbling upon infinity remnants in scorpions fighting banished tanks, running into banished patrols and seeing a brute getting domed by a sniper shot from a random marine, patrolling air vehicles (UNSC) just small battles across the map would give it so much life
this doesnt happen because you're on an "Island" that the UNSC quickly abandoned after making planetfall. the Infinity Crash site and a majority of the survivors are on a different part of the ring. which is where the DLC might've come in, having us move to a new part of the ring and finding Lasky
At least they didn't show Chief's face
or butt cheeks
They are waiting for Halo 7 to do that.
@@rm25088 they do like the number 7, I wouldn’t be surprised at this point
I wish they have made the bulldog as a semi auto shotgun vs pump, it could have been the AA-12 for halo.
hope ya doing well bro. love everything you post
I'd rather have the classic linear Halo campaign, but with it having a mix of more open CE style missions, with those having multiple objectives that can be completed in whatever order you want, like Sword Base, and smaller, more linear and more "purposed" missions in the Halo 3/Reach style.
Honestly I agree. Halo could really benefit from a split linear/open campaign like what MW3 tried to do.
Very fun campaign, but the ammount of squandered potential is actually crazy.
I for one loved the new take on the og art-style and the new music.
Objectively speaking the campaign was still good though wasn't it?
@@sgtaveryjohnson3803 it was good but both the plot and game left me wanting more, it felt half baked. Best halo fps campaign since halo reach tho imo.
@@abysschef5078Definitely 343's best campaign, but compared to Halos 4 and 5 it's really not saying much lmao
Difference is that objectively speaking halo 4s story did make sense for chief as a character. And most people did actually like the halo 4 campaign
The design direction overall is 10/10 for Infinite. Halo finally feels like Halo again under 343's tenure.
I enjoyed the campaign but it needed more to both end the Created and Prometheans in a satisfying manner and introduce the Endless as more than just the Harbinger and her flying goblins.
Xperia, I’ve been subbed since around 2019. I can’t believe you are still under 1M subs! Love your vids, especially the lore explanations. I binged those back in the day
Love how this is the first video you uploaded after I started Infinite's campaign after chipping through every campaign in the series for the past 19 months
343 has consistently proven to be one of the flakiest developers of all time.
They flaked out of Spartan Ops season 2.
They flaked out of the Jul 'Mdama, and Didact plotlines.
They flaked out of the Created and Guardian plotlines.
They flaked out of Campaign DLC in Infinite.
They flaked out of Campaign splitscreen.
They flaked out of continued MCC support.
They even flaked out of their entire upper-management staff!
1. Don’t blame them, nobody liked it.
2. In retrospect that hurt, but at the time nobody liked them so i again can’t blame them.
3. People fucking hated that Story at the time and only recently got Devils Advocates who wanted to see more from it.
4. That was because of how bad Slipspace Engine was and how they were literally unable to have permanent Staff to work on it
5. No excuse
6. That was once again Microsoft’s fault. They TOLD them to cut support.
The only thing more flaky is what Halo Fans say they want.
@@xvx_k1r1t0_xvxkillme7 I blame Microsoft
@@bable6314 good. ‘Twas for the best.
@@rickyb4849I don't the company was inept yeah Microsoft made of ultimately made the decisions to cut certain things but a large reason for that is the ineptness of the products and a lack of faith in the company due to its failures
Agreed totally on enjoying it.
I think now and going forward, it’ll definitely be a Halo campaign I’ll go back to now & again to try and recapture the immediate wonder I felt at being able to explore part of a Halo freely.
That, and the AWESOME new soundtrack direction-even if iirc the music team wasn’t completely satisfied with the implementation. Still absolutely gorgeous work imo; and it’s shaped my own musical stylings :)
Yeah, agreed on all accounts tbh. I never noticed the implementation issues at launch but after the music team mentioned them, I really started to. I have still, 6-7 replays later, NEVER heard the Covenant Dance remake or Walk in the Woods remake in-game which is... odd
@@HiddenXperiathis is something I noticed very quickly. I think I’ve maybe heard each once at most. But worse than this I think was the fact that all the music was implemented randomly, and that the main halo theme was used in very anticlimactic moments like simply walking onto a pelican.
@@HiddenXperiaThrough The Trees is there, but it really only plays when you're idle for a few minutes, and even then it's not quite the same as what was originally released
One of the biggest problems of the campaign is its writing. They treat you like idiots. They constantly tell you how to feel with dialogue, rather than just letting you feel it like previous games are done.
Also, shout out to the music in Infinite. They really knocked it out of the park with the musical team this round.
Bro I was just looking for a new video to watch🤯 I have a feeling this one’s going to make me a little sad.
My only big issue with the campaign is the main story levels being in forerunner hallways all the time. I hope for the next game they keep the open world aspect but also make the linear main story missions more diverse
What was good about the open world?
The open world was one of my favourite things about the campaign. In a way being able to customise/create a loadout for campaign missions, or even just exploring the world.
It’s really enjoyable reading “The Rubicon Protocol” and following the journey of the Boat Crew and seeing the different locations they visited months later between the two periods of the story.
From seeing the Boat Crew’s initial trapping when we meet them to the cave they almost got caught in, to Spartan Stone’s final resting place.
I remember hearing the "prototype" in the unreal engine and i knew this game was long gone. No dlc, no more campaign updates, no more 343 ruining halo. But im still a halo fan and it very much hurts 😢
"What could've bean"
-HiddenXperia,2024
What couldve been big time!!!
Can't wait for the Endless story to end in a book or comic in 5 years
I have finish infinite 3 times!Love that game .Thanks for the vid
I’m always eagerly waiting for your next video, I love your work keep it up man!
appreciate it chief!
Here’s what I think happened with Halo Infinite as a Live Service: Microsoft genuinely wanted 343 to turn it into a Destiny Clone (even today, 343 continues to try and copy Bungie) but due to the revolving door of mixed talent with very little experience on their jury-rigged engine not designed for quick and easy use, live service development slowed to a crawl.
Joseph Staten joined 343 due to an open world Halo is what he wanted originally with Combat Evolved, along with bringing up Destiny Nostalgia, so it fascinated him. He DEFINITELY was the biggest advocate for Campaign DLC, being one of the main writers for Halo. He said on Twitter that he has a “Notebook full of *Endless* Possibilities” (hmm endless…) but long story short Staten was told firmly it wasn’t going to happen. This must have disappointed him as that meant writing a new Halo Game could be years away. Defeated, just like with Destinys story, he respectfully exited stage left.
(Fun fact: a Destiny Leaker said that if Destiny 2’s Final DLC “Final Shape” fails and Bungie is taken over by Sony, he will release details and a Cutscene from the Original Destiny 1 *“Staten Cut”* he made back in the day. He says he is withholding it as Final Shape may reincorporate elements of that Story and he doesn’t want to spoil.)
10:58 I just now realized that the forerunner slide tunnel has a double reference to past games. The tunnel is obviously a reference to Halo 2, but the dead grunt having 2 needlers is also an awesome callback to Halo 2 being the only Halo title to allow duel wielded needlers.
Surprised you didn’t mention music! Still a stellar video! Halo fan forever, 343s best campaign yet, and a step in the right direction, but a long way to go if we want another H2. Thanks for talking about the vehicle problems!
I just got back into Halo as a series through Infinite back in Feburary - cut to now, and I'm on my second audiobook and dying to catch up to the lore hahahah. This was exactly the video I needed, a revisit to the campaign that brought me back
10 years of Halo Infinite huh?

@@dovahkiin7253 same with DLCs. They were never confirmed, sl they couldn't have been cancelled

@@Elyrium42How can they have never been confirmed when they were confirmed to be cancelled? 343 meatriders' existence and logic boggles the fucking mind.
haven't absolutely loved a HiddenXperia video in a while, cheers
15:50 I wish the campaign featured Banished Spartans that ran on the Spartan difficulty multiplayer AI. Seeing them use equipment like in multiplayer would have been a hugely unique enemy unit among those others seen in campaign.
damn, 3 YEARS??
We were promised so much. Only for them to be empty.
10 years. Not even 5 more like.
The campaign really was a lot of fun, just that it's all we have. Campaign DLC really would have taken everything that was great and cranked it up to 11. But it was not meant to be. A real shame.
Campaign DLC was never happening for Halo Infinite from the beginning. Whole community made all of that up, campaign DLC had never even started development or entered the concept stages before it was flat out said to never be happening back in early 2021.
Glad im not the only one who could have sworn they said they were gonna support the game for 10 years. Im even happier that i only ever sunk 10 hours into this dumpster fire and most of it was just goofing off in the free roam part of the campaign. Only needed to play one game of multiplayer to know it wasnt worth diving into.
nah bro, tthe bulldog is blessed. My only complaint was the low ammo.
Congrats on having 600K subs. :)
I believe that the grappling hook was not a good idea in the campaign, explicitly because of how useful it is.
Rarely is there a time where you shouldn’t be using the grappling hook in the campaign. And many of the bosses’ designs seem to encourage the grappling hook even more.
And that’s another thing, Halo always struggled with getting boss fights right. CE didn’t really have any, 2 had the heretic leader and Tartarus, and 3 had the scarabs. Scarabs I’d say were the most effective because they implemented more of the area’s sandbox offering the most ways to take them down. But infinite has the most out of place bosses of all titles, rather spongy and with damn near one hit moves or close to it.
Lastly I’d like to say that while the open world was interestingly executed, I can’t help but feel that it shouldve been a firefight esque mode. Where you clear Zeta Halo as your MP Spartan. This would also have helped further their live service aims and also would have made the Chief’s campaign feel more fluid rather than interrupted by the open world elements.
I've been watching your videos for like months now, didn't realize I never subscribed. And I solely did because I was going to make a joke about "Subscribing Twice" for your love of MGS2 and RE4 and realized I wasn't.
So, yay MGS2 making me realize I should subscribe!
*Having FOB that can be reclaimed, rebuilt, and reinforced…that are occasionally attacked and depending on how well you fortified your base depends on how well it can hold the base. Even get notifications that bases are being attacked with a health/power bars displaying the strength of the incoming force and the strength of your defensive base. You can either choose to let it fend for it self or you can travel and help provide back up against an ambush. Maybe even a Scarab attack?🙏🏼😭*
That sounds very similar to the last few metal gear games.
I recently started replaying the campaign, and one thing I loved is all the little details the devs added to the map. I feel like I could tell they had fun just decorating all these little spaces. Like a marine holdout inside a cave, or a crashed pelican on the surface, to groups of dead marine and Brute bodies. I felt like I would always find a little something when exploring.
If they keep a similar open world structure, with just a greater variety of biomes, events, and location types, I hope they will keep that eye for little detailed spaces.
And plus taking pictures of the ring and the sky is so much fun, it’s super pretty

@@HiddenXperia I'll be looking forward to it
There was so much I loved about the campaign that I could write pages about, but my favorite part was the combination of three mechanics.
The Marines spawning at each base, the weapon selection terminals, and the transport hog. It let me, on demand, recreate my absolute favorite part of Halo 3's The Storm - right before engaging the final AA Wraiths, getting the last Rocket Launcher and having 4 Marines obliterate everything in sight. I tested legitimately every single weapon in Infinite, including the special versions, with the single thought of "I wonder how good 5 of these with infinite ammo are". Some were awful. Some were okay. Some were hilariously overpowered (Laser Party with the Arcane Sentinel Beam wooooo).
But every time I went out to test, it was just *fun*.
And then they decided to drop singleplayer entirely. Man, it's so frustrating.
The marines are decent as long as their guns aren't assault rifles.
Hot take, I loved Halo 4 and 5s campaign. I was also a fan of the Prometheans. So for me, Infinites was so disappointing in the sense that it just dropped or solved all the plot threads off screen. I love all of Bungies campaigns and the first 2 of 343s. I get the frustration from 4 and 5, but I still enjoyed them.
Agreed they were fun to watch fighting with the covenant I was hopeful to watch them fight banished and flood plus no mantis or jetpacks or memorable characters or varied biomes especially being that the ring is fractured they could have easily made multiple biomes in proximity to each other but 343 can't figure out halo or stick to the lore they make wonder if halo 7 will be any good or just slammed together dry content
Halo 4 is still my favorite story in fiction
Same here. I don't like 4's gameplay very much, but I enjoyed the story. The way the Prometheans were designed in 5 was excellent. Both had very cool set pieces and fun levels. Can't say anything good about 5's story though 😅
Well now I met two people who liked Halo 5

My main gripes are that the friendly AI can't drive (how cool would it have been to have a squad of vehicles roaming the open world?) no Scarabs or other Halo Wars Banished related vehicles, and no horror feel like the Flood used to bring to the games
The cut scenes with escharum and djega were awesome. And i liked chief and the weapon but holy hell that was like 80% of rhe cut scenes
How about something like Metro 3? Open world when you’re in the specific area/“level” but you keep moving forward into new environments
Cant wait for the endless to be expanded on! (Hope we get more answers then questions)
343 will ditch the endless and create a brand new storyline in Halo 7. Just like they always do
I have a very real fear that the Endless will go the way of the Prometheans, Created, Didact and Warden Eternal and just be quietly resolved in a book a few years down the line.
All they had to do was what they did in Halo CE, Pelican picks you up and drops you off in a linear mission, best of both worlds
I had fun playing this campaign
Damn, your opening statement really put it all into perspective for me-3 years I’ve been telling myself “it’ll get there”
Two years later, and I haven’t stopped loving it. The dynamics between Chief, The Weapon and The Pilot are my favorite parts of the story, and I think the character writing is one of Infinite’s greatest strengths. The Rubicon Protocol also massively improved the story. And the sandbox and gameplay aged *_very_* well, I replay it pretty consistently just because of how fun it is to play it.
Its crazy to me that people liked the characterization of Chief, the weapon, and especially the pilot. My biggest complaint is the character writing, I dont like the open world aspect and even then I liked it more than the interactions between our trio. Of the 3 the pilot is the absolutely one of the worse characters iv ever had to interact with in media and I read the Wheel of Time books.
Im not hating on you for liking it, but I dont get the love. Every 343i game has some of the worst character writing, and characterization of any Halo games, and further some of the worst of any games iv played, which is honestly impressive to be that terrible, that consistently.
@@SunTzu176 hey, atleast it wasn’t halo 5
@@harrywalsh2104 That is true, a hidden silver lining. I dont even remember Halo 5, which I cannot say if that was because it was so generic and uninteresting to me that I just forgot, or that it was so bad I physically excised the memory of playing it from my mind. All I remember was I thought the monitor was cute and the firefight replacement was interesting but should have just been firefight.
@@SunTzu176 it really feels like we are living in a different world, right? I never understood what people liked about it. It just felt hollow.
I must admit that I don't agree with your last point though, I actually liked the dynamic between Chief and Cortana in Halo 4.
@@harrywalsh2104 5 was unironically better.
I used to think that 343's halo was a tragedy
Now i realize i was fucking right
The music was excellent
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 600K MY UNGOYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I just want a reach style customization 😭
so glad I played campaign on gamepass. I got a friend who paid $60 for that campaign. Fr at least halo 3 campaign feels replayable and good. I’ve beat it over twenty times. But beat halo infinite only two times because its boring. The Open world is boring. I wish it felt more like a rdr2 or fallout 3 open world with quests besides raiding a building then getting valor to get vehicles.
Nice to hear Lord Hords Speech from Halo 3
First. I hope the next Halo campaign is treated much, much better.
Personally. I disagreed with Halo Infinites story direction and ended up disappointed.
I think it was a mistake to pretend Halo 5 didn’t happen without retconning it. I think they needed to either declare H5 non-canon or go with it.
The most frustrating me is that they could have done it. So many people (including you I believe) expected them to get out of the whole Cortana being evil mess by using the logic plague as an explanation for it. I think that would have worked and that horrible mistake could have been salvaged and a good story made out of it. In fact we basically know 343 did have plans to do this at some point given the interrogation of the prophet at the Oni facility that very heavily implied she had it.
Now though. I still feel Cortana was ruined. Sure she turned back, but she only did it right after committing genocide against the Brutes and destroying their whole home. And it’s not like she realized all of what she did was wrong, she just felt bad for betraying Chief. I couldn’t really feel sad about Cortana’s death given what I had just seen her do to the brute homeworld a few minutes earlier.
Also Arbiter, Halsey, Lasky. All didn’t show up because they went down this path. We had basically nobody besides Chief and the marine guy I can’t remember the name of.
There are things I like about infinites story. But I just feel they went down the wrong path. Refusing to use the logic plague and basically confirming Cortana had done everything of her own free will was the wrong move in my eyes. And it overall felt pretty bland compared to most past halo stories. Maybe DLC would have made it better, or maybe the next game can build off it. But I’m just disappointed in it at the end of the day.
Thankfully, it was revealed in Halo Epitaph that Cortana was indeed being affected by the logic plague and it was the Didact who convinced her of that fact which was a huge turning point as to why she chose to kill herself. While it should have been revealed in the game itself, it's at least nice to know that it is indeed true
@@michaelphillips2329 it’s better than nothing, but this was still the wrong path to take.
For one. That information was absolutely needed to be in the game so that people who don’t read the books can know why the hell Cortana went off like that. This is not something that is not important enough to be put into extended material.
Second. It still takes away the opportunity to do something with that. Imagine where the story could have gone if they went with it instead of a soft reset. And again this reset got rid of all the other characters who would have played a role in that plot like Arby.
343 in general just seems to have a problem with not committing to a plot. So the things they set up just don’t get payoffs or horrible mistakes are never properly fixed and just sloppily tried to be ignored.
The only time they really did the soft retcon in a way that worked was undoing Halsey betraying humanity in spartan ops, but that was easy to do since she hadn’t actually done anything bad working for Jul yet and could easily be summed up to “she was a double agent”. Most of the other times though it’s either unnecessary or done sloppily or both.
I hope this doesn’t happen again with new management. And that they commit this time and do something good with these “endless” as well as Atriox and Offensive Bias.
@@michaelphillips2329 Once again, 343 "fixing" their stupid lore with another book that the vast majority of players will never read. 343 needs to be disbanded, and the Halo IP handed off to someone else. They clearly can't do anything right.
Sadly I still haven't played the campaign yet or even the game in general I cannot wait to try it out eventually
I didn't realize it was out!
XPeria thanks for the videos, personally my favourite Halo CZcamsr :)
The community is so divided that it doesn’t matter how great/bad the next Halo is. There’s a lot of Bungie fanboys who will never like anything that isn’t Bungie, and then there’s the 343 fanboys who defend all their decisions. Also the fanbase is very counterproductive, and can’t make out what they want from a Halo game. Halo needs innovation, it’s severely outdated in its level design, and gameplay.
Watching your video just reminded me how good this campaign is. I hope we get a DLC or a proper sequel in the next Halo Game!
I loved the boss fight format, felt like you were actually picking apart the banished leadership as you went.
They called it "Halo Infinite" turned out to be "Halo Limited" I'm not giving 343 any more chances. They outsourced the development to random dudes and fired them before they got benefits. They said "this is a Spartan story" cool story bro, Halo Reach was a "Spartan story" with the best playable Elites we've ever seen. 343 needs to lose Halo permanently or there will never be a good and or original Halo game ever again.
i'm blaming microsoft for this one honestly
@@criticalhealthmusicYeah, cause this is 343’s first crack at a Halo game. Let’s give them two more games to see how they do…
@@D00dmanwe'll see, although this is a very different team from what was their at launch. My biggest concern is if Microsoft makes the next halo worse in the micro transaction department....
343 isn't the problem. Microsoft is. 343 is just Microsoft's puppet to take the heat for Microsoft which you fell for hook, line, and sinker.
@@onieyoh9478 Microsoft had literally nothing to do with the development of Halo Infinite. They didn't force 343i to do anything they didn't want to do. All the crap wrong with Halo, now, is solely due to the incompetence of 343i and their utter lack of talent/passion. They work this crap like a desk job.
Blame MICROSOFT for Infinite's bad development. It's always morally correct.
Microsoft gave 343 5 years and then also allowed the game to be delayed another year
343i management is to blame
@@MrVidman14 hmm
@@MrVidman14 good point
"It's always morally correct." What do you mean by that?
It was from another vid.😄
imagine skirmishers or jackal pirates grapple shotting around the forerunner platforms to flank you
im so glad you pointed out the grapples problem in the campaign, imo it made the campaign feel so small and a breeze when i played it on heroic
God I thought the open world was disappointing😭
The whole game was
its really sad how infinite was handled I loved the artstyle and the way the enemies worked this was my favorite of the halos next to 2
Comparing it to 2 is wild but that's your opinion.
The no Split Screen was my biggest issue because man split screen gameplay on Zeta Halos open worlds would just be so so fun.
You should do a related video or series on Flooded With Flavor where you make a themed barbecue for each of the halo games!
I don't care what anyone says, this campaign was so fun and I have so many fond memories. Most of the people I talk to really loved this campaign. To this day when I enter the house of reckoning or the silent auditorium or see the ring in the open world for the first time I just get so excited.
Agreed, it's a solid campaign.
"Most of the people I talk to really loved this campaign."
Really? It is quite the opposite with me and my friends.
@@JugglernautNr9people can have different opinion that's fine
@JugglernautNr9 Hey you know what they say. No matter how bad something is, someone is going to like it.
It's an uncomplicated campaign, where Chief basically just beats the shit out of a bunch of apes and makes some new friends.
I loved it.
