Anyway I will say one last thing until after next week. Having a great campaign is more important for a Metacritic score over having a great MP

  • Halo 4 had a great campaign but the weakest MP, 87/100
  • Halo 5 the opposite but scored an 84/100

Games like Titanfall 2 and Doom 2016 scored well, an 87/100 and 86/100 on Opencritic despite the MP being forgettable (although I liked Doom 2016’s MP quite a bit) because the campaign’s were incredible. Doom Eternal is literally sitting on an 89/100 on Opencritic because of how awesome the campaign is despite the tacked on MP

If Halo’s campaign is truly great, we have a great MP albeit issues with the play list and progression that will get better over time, there’s no reason why they game shouldn’t at the very least outscore Halo 5

Moral of the story, no matter how great a MP is, it’s the campaign that leaves the lasting impression.

True achievement has revealed the number of the main missions in Halo Infinite, I think my guess is right about the duration time of story mode.

No - mods here feel that when you devolve a conversation to name calling and conspiracy theories, you do everyone involved a disservice. Nutshell? Be a decent human being.

My biggest problem with the final product isn’t the reviews nor whether people enjoying it or not. I just hope there’s still alot of unrevealed characters/plots and settings they keep under the wrap because if that’s all the chars we’ll meet throughout the campaign and all areas is just that ā€˜map’ from early playthroughs then yeah…

Previews have been overwhelming positive, it’ll be fine.

And according to MauroNL, there is even more very positive impressions from reviewers from the rest of the campaign.

You ever reply to someone, before seeing all their next posts and then once you do, you regret it?

Yeah, that’s me right now with Helios and GoroMajima

Yup. And that stuff has been kept in the dark on purpose, sounds great to me and I hope it won’t get spoiled.

As far as I remember, the embargo came out on November 4 On November 5, those who pre-ordered some edition of the game, or were subscribed to Gamepass Ultimate, gained access to the game. I don’t remember exactly.

Well, basically, the official release date was November 9th.

So with Forza, we could play the game early with a different edition, is that gonna happen with Halo. I’m ready to pay up!

Doubt it. Would have been common knowledge by now

…with about a thousand grifter tweets and youtube videos bitching about it being the fall of humanity

This is a great thread about Halo’s history here in India!

Reviews hit one day before many millions of people could access the game. My point stands that how early a review hit doesn’t always mean something in regards to its quality.

A company that thinks/knows it has a weak product doesn’t let people start playing it weeks in advance.

Late reviews to me would indicate more so they don’t want too much info about the campaign out ahead of its release.
