The weapons hit so different in campaign.

The mauler is super fun.
It's basically like a stronger pistol with bullet drop, It takes some skill to use but because of that its super satisfying to one shot dudes in the head with it.
It may actually be useful in multiplayer now that I know how to use it.

Also the pulse carbine, I think the bullets magnetize to the enemies more in campaign making it more useful (or they are just more static making them easier to hit) but it kind of wrecks.
I think the PC is better simply because enemies don't strafe dodge like humans.

If you strafe dodge left and right Vs an Elite with a PC, they can't hit you for shit even on Legendary lol.

"This was the dream of my life!" (MC killed by a lucky Grunt)

This game is so damn good. Playing normal was fine indoor but, in the openworld lvl, it is so easy (atm). Am I the only one with this difference between indoor vs outdoor?

We almost need a thread dedicated to the hilarious things grunts say.

Two moments last night where grunts said something that made me laugh so much I died in game.

*Grunt runs away from you* "I run away from my problems" (this needs to be on a Tshirt or something lol)

*You pull up on a group of enemies and a grunt sees you* "Here comes trouble!"

This campaign is an unbelievable comeback after H5. 343 has gone from delivering my least favorite campaign in the series to what may damn well be the best.

Truth, I went on with low expectations after Halo 4 and 5. This might be the best Halo yet, the gunplay is just perfect.

I was very proud of getting to the top of The Tower with just my grapple hook. For those further along, does the game let you just fly a vehicle up there instead?

I had my doubts even after playing the MP, but the campaign is fucking awesome. Feels like they Doom Eternaled Halo.

I'm curious: in what way have they made it more like Doom Eternal? Because to me, it's the literal opposite of DE: I have SO many options to tackle enemies as opposed to run out of ammo - chainsaw -flamethrower - glory kill ad infinitum. And while there's some platforming, it's not near to the extent of DE, and the grapple makes it smooth and easy to traverse.

Ah, so you are finding it is putting you against opponents that are much too dominant, that definitely doesn't sound fun.

I think the most complaints I have seen are from higher ranked players who complain their QP matches are just as sweaty as ranked. I am finding similar, the better I do overall the harder my QP is.

Have you checked your stats at all? You can do that here: https://halotracker.com/

Once you sign in, you can see all your previous matches in the Matches menu on the too left. You can them click on individual players and see their stats and rank.

It might be worth checking just to see if you're being out against players of much higher rank/stats... and also checking your team balance to see if they're balanced fairly.

Not sure if it will help much, but it might give you some insight into what is happening.

A quick glance of Bertil44's Halo Infinite statistics.

I almost never win and almost always get dominated by enemy teams. Especially lately the matchmaking has been real shit. It's like the devs don't want me to play mp and to turn me off from it. Instead i often just play bot games for challenges lol... Not even in CoD did i suck this much and i suck at CoD.

I'm watching the credits roll… incredible. My favourite of 343's Halo games for sure, and I actually quite like 4.

I can't wait to see what they do next.

Until then, I'm excited for my exploration focused playthrough on Heroic week, because tomorrow is House Move day!

The enemy shooting your dead body until the game reloads just solidifies why I don't feel bad about t bagging. It's like the devs want the user to feel humiliated for losing lol.

That moment you throw a nade. Grunt goes flying. But just when he start flying you grapple him by accident. I was tossed over the map with him haha

Only completed the first mission so far but I am VERY happy with this game. The MP has captivated me for weeks, and the SP seems like it will captivate me in a different way. This game <3

Does Dolby Vision seem off to anyone else who is using it? To me it seems like the black levels are off and it's driving me crazy trying to figure out if that's the case. I have an LG C8.

This game nails that '30 seconds of fun' on repeat that Halo is known for. To me, that loop is one of the best in all of gaming. The cycle of dying in an encounter and changing my tactics to eventually succeed is incredibly rewarding.

Yeah. I can call in Wasps now and just flew around for 45 minutes grabbing stuff I missed.

I'm not going to let myself use it for missions though, cause it makes stuff real easy and I miss grappling around.

It's definitely not right during the opening cinematic but during gameplay it seems fine to me? LG C7 for ref.

Are there cosmetic upgrades I can be looking for in the single player campaign? I'm about to start and wondering if I should be looking.

So overall you have positive K/D and a 50% win rate, which is actually in ranked. It might be that your ranked performance is pulling in heavier contest in QP and BTB, where team mates try much less to play objectives, which is making games much harder for you there.

What is the difference between "axial dead zone" and "center dead zone"? From the descriptions it looks like they do the same thing?

The pre-rendered cutscenes are a bit busted in this respect, have elevated black levels for some reason. Super noticable on OLED or FALD screens. Once you get into gameplay it works fine

can recommend loading up a razorback with a bunch of marines with power weapons and wrecking everything in your path.

them opening up the halo sandbox fully to the player's imagination is the best idea they've ever had

Storming a base with a razorback full of marines is actually a huge rush. Turns base assaults into complete chaos

What are these collectibles that look like audio logs but are sideways instead of vertical? I have three bases with 0 of them collected and have no idea what they are

I got killed and a nearby grunt said something to the effect of "Try to kill me now! Stupid idiot."

They & the Marines are seriously hilarious.

I just started to play and this definitely feels very good to play. The grapple hook is one hell of an addition and makes Halo open-ended combat simply much more fun. Fingers crossed, but no issues encountered on PC.

I'm done with the campaign, now the credits are rolling. That wasn't bad. I watched the legendary ending on Youtube: well lore fans will be happy I think, although that just gives us a lot more questions. We need a story dlc.

I can't play this from the cloud with the Xbox PC app, but I can play it through Edge (with terrible lag) or my Fire tablet that doesn't even officially support the Game Pass app but works beautifully, idk.

Based on the trademark that MS just filed, I think story DLC expansions are inevitable

That's a little disappointing. But will definitely make looking for propaganda towers easy

Is there an easy way to see what customisation stuff you have unlocked from the campaign?

Browsing the armoury etc is so cumbersome. I have no idea what I've unlocked

I haven't actually looked at what skulls are in this game but given how well I'm handling Legendary so far, LASO may actually be feasible??

We'll see how the rest of the game goes...

just did a hit on a brute boss and Cortana is like "he's named devourer because, well, he's a brute. Be careful." And I pull up and the marines 5 tap him instantly 3 seconds later.

It was about 14 hours, after about 13 hours I got tired of FOB/Outpost cleaning and finished the campaign in an hour. I'll continue with the side missions this weekend, luckily the game will bring me back to the surface after the credit. Anyway, yes, I started playing it yesterday, but I don't sleep when Halo games come out :D
