A critique and analysis of the newest entry in to the long running Halo franchise...Halo Infinite. This review will primarily focus on the multiplayer component and delve in to topics such as base mechanics, map design, sandbox design, weapon balancing and tuning, player traits, custom game options, competitive features, casual features, social features, the content on offer as well as the missing content not currently present such as forge and other game modes, 343's decision to utilize a free to play model (f2p) and much more.

This commentary was created with the hopes of creating meaningful discussions within the Halo community and the gaming community at large. Most of the discussion has been dominated by the shortcomings within the item shop and in game store relating to the underwhelming customization system or the disappointing progression system. There have also of course been issues with cheating, hacking, and server issues such as desync. While all of those are important, and are mentioned here, I did want to give some attention to major issues that I believe need more attention and scrutiny.

Gameplay is taken primarily of Halo Infinite with additional clips featuring Halo 3, Halo Reach, Halo 4, Halo 5, and some other misc. items. Halo is a First Person Shooter (FPS) and this gameplay features footage of all of its modes including Big Team Battle, Oddball, Slayer, and Capture the Flag (CTF).

Halo Infinite is created by 343 Industries and published by Microsoft. It is available on Game Pass on PC and various Xbox platforms (Xbox One, Series X, Series S)
