Why I HATE Halo Infinite Multiplayer

Daniel reviews Halo Infinite’s free multiplayer preview, released before December’s campaign, and says its barebones design merits no purchase. He criticizes zoom-only aiming, bullet-sponge shields, weak weapon impact, repetitive spray- and-melee encounters, and combat unchanged since his teenage Halo experience. Small, visually repetitive maps, limited customization, identical Spartan teams, absent classes, and pointless vehicles make gameplay shallow and quickly tedious.

Nostalgia cannot overcome his demand for varied, impactful, deep shooter mechanics.
