Halo Infinite: finally, a multiplayer shooter for grownups

Fed up of getting destroyed by teenagers whenever you play online? The more tactical, slower-paced combat of Halo Infinite makes older players feel at home again

Kids these days will never understand the pain and the awesomeness of lugging your heavy TV and Xbox to a friend's house for Halo multiplayer. This has been old man yelling at cloud.

Yi-Long1512d ago

Clouds these days are terrible. Back in my day, THOSE were some top-quality clouds …

I remember buying a 360 so my best friend didn't have to bring his to my place. Me, my brother and our best friend would have a LAN connection in 2 separate rooms and just snipe and stick each other all day. Some of the best memories those years 👌

At one point, lasting several weeks i had to find space for 4 big old crt Tv's, Ghost recon was the game back then, looking back, i wouldnt change a thing... was so much fun.. Happy Days

got_dam1511d ago

Oh, man. Mech Assault 1 and halo. I miss high school!

LOL you should have bought the xbox VGA adapter then you could just take a LCD flat screen with you or plug up your friends computer monitor to your xbox they are much lighter lol. Thats what me and my friends did for the 16 player halo ce matches.

A review from the Guardian... move on.

Counter Strike..like 20 years ago. It was the definition of a shooter for "grownups".

porkChop1512d ago

He isn't saying it's the only shooter for grown ups. He's saying that Infinite uses a more old school design, like classic Halos.

Tedakin1512d ago

Halo Infinite MP is the best MP in a long time.

KillBill1511d ago

"The more tactical, slower-paced combat of Halo Infinite makes older players feel at home again" - I don't know what he is talking about. I have always been a more tactical slow paced player in my Battlefield and mainly any type of game. But oddly enough I have been running Quake style in my Halo Infinite gaming sessions. I have been less tactical in Halo Infinite than any other multiplayer game I have played in some time. It has brought out the kid in me.

So much for that 10 year platform plan

darthv7270d ago

...and its barely been 4 years. LMAO

DarXyde69d ago

Halo Infinite?
Hell no, It's Finished.

... I'll see myself out.

RaidenBlack69d ago

... and he broke into the attic again and got his drums back.

Yang_kai69d ago

Well good luck with the next game, been on almost all systems will help the game life and strengthen their community with fresh blood.

RaidenBlack69d ago

no MP till Halo 7, as per leak
Don't know if it'll release parallelly with Halo 2R or Halo 3R or totally after the trilogy of remakes.

Inverno69d ago

Onto the next 10 year promise! When that turns out to be more Unreal slop you can drop it and promise the same for the game after.

franwex69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

I’m one of the 15 people that regularly play this. Oh well. Hopefully the game will retain a small dedicated player base.

Halo art director leaves studio after 17 years with ominous message alluding to discontent

Glenn Israel writes: "As of today and after seventeen long years, I am officially no longer contributing to the Halo universe. There is little more I can say for the moment, though I intend to share this particular story in its entirety when it is absolutely safe to do so next year. In the meantime, I have a message for anyone and everyone who needs to hear it.

I know that the state of our industry seems dire, but never forget that you are *free to choose*. No illusion of security nor promise of wealth or fame or power is worth trading away your health, your dignity, your ethics or values - and no one can force you to. Stay strong, take evidence when necessary, and find where you belong."

My god.
There's a story for next year.

VenomUK97d ago

I’m really disappointed to learn there are still people/morale problems. I thought the whole point of rebranding 343i to Halo Studios was to signal that real changes had been made - not to cynically rebrand to paper over the problems.

I really hope the Halo CE remake is great and gets people hyped for the future of the series.

DarXyde97d ago

It's inevitable with the modern landscape. Even if some issues have been assuaged, new ones crop up all the time.

I'm willing to bet AI and the lack of regulation is causing substantial upset.

shinXseijuro97d ago (Edited 97d ago )

He said something very marking . We tend to complain a lot about the industry but deep down I realize that we never have we been offered this crazy amount of games all available for you to play now . You can literally play any sorts of games in 2025 . Nobody is forcing you to buy the latest COD or the latest BF . You’re more of a 8 bit cozy gaming guy there’s a whole niche of modern games for that . You like micromanaging there’s games for that . I feel like we have been spoiled so much we just stopped being realistic and thinking for ourselves . We follow trends cry about stuff online when you are the buyer you have the power .

Notellin97d ago

I'm not buying any games until another Immersive sim is made.

PhillyDonJawn97d ago

....wth happened over there?
Does this confirm a new Halo by next year?
What did they want him to do that made him feel it was morally wrong or a insult to his integrity?

-Foxtrot97d ago

Well how about that, a name change doesn’t fix internal issues

Who would have thought

jznrpg97d ago

MS was throwing money around for a long time but now it’s time to pay the Piper.

Halowaypoint does not even load for me. Not surprised…

1Victor172d ago

Well it’s not rare for e sports titles to be taken down regardless of franchise 🤷🏿

mkis007172d ago

Halo is due for a re-imagining, or at least a hiatus.
