Halo Infinite is a 2021 first-person shooter game developed by 343 Industries and published by Xbox Game Studios. It is the sixth mainline installment in the Halo series,[1] following Halo 5: Guardians (2015). The game's campaign follows the human supersoldier Master Chief and his fight against a mercenary organization, known as the Banished, on the Forerunner ringworld Zeta Halo. Unlike previous mainline entries in the series, the multiplayer portion of the game is free-to-play.

Infinite was intended to release as a launch title for the Xbox Series X/S, but was delayed in August 2020 after its gameplay reveal in July 2020 drew negative feedback from both critics and Halo fans.[2][3] Following an open beta release of the multiplayer component on November 15, 2021, coinciding with the franchise's 20th anniversary, the campaign was released on December 8, 2021, for Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

The campaign mode's semi-open world structure allows players to freely explore parts of the ring-world Zeta Halo setting, which are segmented off from each other and initially impassable. Scattered across the environment are Forward Operating Bases (FOBs), which can be captured once cleared of enemies. Captured bases serve as fast-travel points.[5][6] Other points of interest found across Zeta Halo's surface include "high-value targets" to eliminate, Marine squads to rescue, and Banished propaganda towers to destroy.[7] Completing these side objectives earns the player Valor, which is used to earn weapons and vehicles that players can call in from FOBs.[5][6] The more linear environments within the ring's surface hew more to traditional Halo mission design. These missions serve to advance the story, and can be replayed once completed via the in-game TACMAP.[8] Collectibles found in the environment, such as audio logs, provide additional story details.[9]

In addition to the narrative told in the campaign, Halo Infinite's multiplayer component features a seasonal story that centers on Spartan Commander Laurette Agryna's efforts to lead a new generation of Spartan supersoldiers in the aftermath of Cortana's attacks on various UNSC military strongholds.[15]

While reception to Halo 5 was overall positive, the campaign received criticism for not including enough of Master Chief; 343 Industries promised to refocus on the character going forward.[25][26]

It utilizes the new Slipspace Engine.[27][28][29] The game was written by Paul Crocker, who was also associate creative director of the campaign.[30][31] Justin Dinges and Nicolas Bouvier were chosen as artists.[30][32] The multiplayer component of the game was directed by Tom French, Associate Creative Director of multiplayer, and Pierre Hintze, Project Lead and Partner Head of multiplayer.[33][34] The tools used for the Slipspace Engine used basic development tools called Faber. Some parts of Faber dated back to the early 2000s, having also been used for Bungie's Halo games. As a result, its coding became notoriously difficult to use by 343 Industries, being considered technical debt. 343 Industries had also excessively relied on hiring contract workers to the point of making up half the studio according to estimates. Due to Microsoft's policy that limits contract workers to keep their jobs for up to 18 months, the number of workers at 343 Industries gradually fell.[24]

Halo Infinite was intended to have split-screen campaign co-op in response to the backlash of its removal in Halo 5: Guardians,[40] but the feature was delayed several times and was ultimately cancelled by September 2022.[41] The game supports both cross-platform play and cross-platform save progression between Xbox and Windows versions.[42] Campaign network co-op was eventually included as part of the Winter Update in November 2022 along with several other features, including the ability to replay old missions via the in-game TACMAP, which was absent from the game's release.[8][43]

The music for Halo Infinite is a collaboration between Gareth Coker,[44] Curtis Schweitzer,[45][46] Joel Corelitz,[47] Alex Bhore,[48] and Eternal Time & Space, overseen by 343 Industries Music Supervisor Joel Yarger.[49] Infinite's soundtrack was released digitally on December 8, 2021, in two albums, one covering the score for the campaign,[50] and another covering the music for the game's multiplayer component.[51]

On October 25, 2021, 343 Industries published a video depicting the game's campaign mode for the first time since its initial panned debut in July 2020; the footage offers a first look into several previously untold aspects of the mode's gameplay and plot.[5]

Coinciding with Infinite's gameplay reveal was a trailer, "Step Inside", produced by 215 McCann, who had previously worked on the "Believe" campaign for Halo 3. The spot, showing Master Chief's armor being made, was the kickoff to a wider campaign, "Become", which focused on how the events of the games are shaped by ordinary people in the Halo universe.[92][93]

Following the campaign gameplay reveal for Halo Infinite on July 23, 2020, publications and audiences expressed disappointment over the graphics and performance.[2] Eurogamer wrote that "Halo Infinite looks like the fake plastic trees version of Halo, like a video game designed with Mega Bloks in mind. It pops in all the wrong places. [...] It doesn't feel grounded. It doesn't feel like it has depth. It feels, well, surface level, smooth and uninteresting."[3] Aaron Greenberg, general manager of Xbox marketing, responded in an interview with Inside Gaming: "Listen, we're in the middle of a global pandemic. It's July, we're far from [launch in] Holiday, you're seeing a work-in-progress game." He said that the final game would be a "visual showcase".[98][99] Narrative experience director Dan Chosich tweeted: "I want you to know your voice matters + is heard [...] I always want to live up to the legacy that Bungie pioneered. I personally care a lot about honoring that."[100]

A screenshot of the gameplay showing an attacking Brute with a deadpan expression, given the moniker "Craig" by internet commenters, became an internet meme, and was embraced by 343 Industries' community director Brian Jarrard.[101] When 343 Industries released improved gameplay videos closer to Halo Infinite's release, they included shots that purposely showed an improvement in visuals and appearance of "Craig", which character and combat director Steve Dyck and character art lead Bryan Repka considered a "glow-up", and that the community response to "Craig" was "one of the factors in gaining some more time to finish work and get Brutes to a place where the team is happy with them".[102] A reference to "Craig" in the form of an Easter egg was added to Halo Infinite's campaign.[103]

TechRadar wrote Halo Infinite was "a triumph", saying "From its captivating story to its liberating gameplay, developer 343 Industries has created a campaign that will resonate with veteran Halo fans and inspire a new generation of players."[127] IGN believed the Halo series to still belong amongst the best shooter games, especially praising Halo Infinite's single-player campaign[128] and multiplayer, though considered the rewards gained in the latter's Battle Pass to be lackluster.[129] The game's use of open world design and greater player freedom in certain areas received particular praise from others.[130][131][132] Additionally, GameSpot editor Jordan Rame praised the game's new grappleshot feature and rewarding single-player progression system.[119]

There is a ton to love about Halo Infinite's campaign. I agree with most of the praise it has been receiving. The game plays incredibly well, the grappleshot is amazing, the writing is mostly on point, Weapon is both funny and endearing, Chief is in top form, the grunts are hilarious, and the list goes on and on.

Why didn't we get to experience being chased by and chasing Cortana across the galaxy as she attempts to rule it with an iron fist? Why didn't we get to play through the process of coming up with and executing the plan to create Weapon and infiltrate Cortana's base of operations? Most importantly, why didn't we get the emotional conclusion of either Chief tearfully deleting Cortana or seeing Cortana's redemption as she sacrifices herself against a new threat? I think we deserved that campaign.

Instead we get an entire campaign that cares far more about setting up an entirely new and, seemingly, lengthy arc instead of wrapping up the current one is some satisfying way. The Banished, the Endless, the Harbinger, the Grand Edict? These are all things that could have waited for Halo 7, or some expansion depending on how 343i is going to handle growing the game. I have my concerns for many of these new plot points (mainly the trope of power creep with regards to the next big bad guy that trivializes the struggles of everything that came before it), but that's a different discussion.

I've been a fan of Halo since CE and I finished the campaign before Christmas, and was quite disappointed by it. Recently I thought I should give it another chance and replayed it on Legendary, and found I thoroughly detested it. I have a decent enough understanding of why I dislike it, but looking at video essays on YouTube (Act Man, Hiddenxperia, LazerZ) the general vibe is that it is a great game (a "return to form") whilst listing a huge number of things it does wrong.

Anybody know if there's a way to launch what is now a completely seperate .exe for the campaign in Halo Infinite? I launch the "campaign" instead of the regular "multiplayer" halo infinite executable and it just launches the normal executable. What they've done here is essentially split the singeplayer and multiplayer into two seperate parts. I have to launch multiplayer of halo, then navigate to campaign, and then launch campaign! It now takes alot longer, to just play the bloody campaign. This is such a stupid thing. The only logical conclusion i can think of is, they were unable to seperate weapon and movement mechanics being changed in multiplayer and campaign, or what i think is they're just dicks who want the campaign to be annoying to get to. The campaign is not currently "monetizable", 343 doesn't want us playing it why would they? so u just go "ehh" might aswell play multiplayer. Dark Patterns my friend, Dark Patterns. ff782bc1db
