![]() You will use them to upgrade your equipment. In addition to the collectibles we mentioned above, littered throughout the world are Spartan Cores. You won’t have access to everything right off the bat though, doing activities on the map will earn you valor points, which unlocks more weapons and vehicles for you to use at FOBs. Just keep in mind, TANKS BEAT EVERYTHING!! Jokes aside, vehicles are pretty stronk in Halo Infinite, I personally preferred traveling on foot and grappleshotting my way around, but some vehicles are worth it just for the firepower, which you will need for some missions and areas. You can also call vehicles in here, and there’s a long list to choose from. Speaking of FOBs, you can quick-travel to them, and replenish your ammo and access your arsenal of unlocked weapons at them. There's plenty of variety in the bosses themselves, and in the ways you can approach them.Īs you recapture FOBs the map shows more points of interest for you to explore, and on your way to them you can come across other interesting stuff, like propaganda radio towers, captured UNSC marines, and even collectibles that unlock cosmetics for the multiplayer mode. As a plus, beating them will also unlock new unique weapons in your arsenal. The targets or boss fights we mentioned earlier make for some of the best content Halo Infinite has to offer, managing to walk that fine line between being both challenging and fun. You can also grappleshot vehicles to automatically drive them, or in-case an enemy is already on the vehicle, hijack it. It makes traversing around the ring a joy, as you grappleshot just about everything and spider-man your way across the map. The grappleshot is the first of the equipment you will unlock in Halo Infinite, and the one you will probably use the most. You can use the grappleshot to grab weapons or fusion coils from a distance, get out of a pinch batman style when your shields are depleted, or literally launch yourself at enemies and whack them in the face with a stronger-than-usual melee attack. But again, like everything else, it just feels right in Halo Infinite. You should already be familiar with it if you've played games like Just Cause and Titanfall. Like everything else in Halo Infinite we've mentioned so far, a grappling hook is nothing new. We're talking of course, about the Grappleshot. ![]() I should mention that the game's not "truly" open-world, in the sense that parts of the world won't open up till you complete the relevant story mission.īefore you even set foot on the open-world however, you will spend the early hours of the game learning the ropes, or firing it out of your wrist rather. These include recapturing Forward Operating Bases(FOBs), rescuing marine squads, infiltrating Banished fortresses and priority targets, which are like boss challenges. There's a healthy sprinkling of things to do on the world map as you make your way towards the next story objective. They've managed to do this without making things feel cumbersome or monotonous. 343 Industries has done an excellent job of taking the linear(ish) environments that Halo was originally known for and blowing it up to a grander scale. This is the first Halo game to embrace the open-world format, and the execution in Halo Infinite is excellent. It's not just a single thing that stands out, but rather how everything works together. We'll get to the story in a bit, but I cannot stress enough how incredibly fun Halo Infinite's gameplay loop is. Let's dive into the review! Halo Infinite - Gameplay With that being said, I actually had a really good time playing Halo Infinite, and while I definitely felt a bit of a disconnect at times from the game's main story, it was an enjoyable ride. Although, Halo 5 was apparently a dumpster fire anyway, so I guess I dodged a bullet there. Understandably, I'm skipping a considerable amount of lore and backstory here by jumping straight to Halo Infinite without playing Halo 2 through Halo 5. The only Halo game I'd played prior to Halo Infinite was the very first Halo Combat Evolved, which was a damn good game. Before we get into this review for Halo Infinite, I should let you know that I haven't exactly been following the Halo franchise.
