I dropped Halo Infinite a while ago because I didn't feel like there was enough to keep myself engaded, and the monetization just bothers me whenever I see it, but I tired it out again for Infection and ended up sticking around this time.
I still don't like certain aspects of the game, like the moniatiation or the fact that there are just alot of precision weapons that all do the BR's job but worse in most situations, but overall I feel like Infinite has shaped up quite well these days. Having custom games, especially with infection, really helps bring about diversity in gameplay that Infintie was sorely missing at around launch.
One aspect I like if the cutscenes for the multiplayer seasons, Dihn is just a cool character and really makes the Spartan IV's feel alot more cool then before, even if we aren't going to get new cutscenes or the fact that the game makes it hard for players to naturally discover these cutscenes. And Iratus is just a fun antagonist.
What's you're thoughts on Halo Infinte so far?
Squad battle seems like it breathed some life back into the game, it has brought me back to play at least a few times a week. I think adding more forged maps in general has been great. This was the first season that I didn’t purchase the pass, mostly because I know I won’t wear the Hazmat core and the other cosmetics in it.
It feels significantly better on keyboard and mouse compared to launch, I have seen others report that as well.
I agree with OP that it is really disappointing that they are dropping the multiplayer cutscenes, I think the story was going in a really interesting direction. They can continue the story with text posts on Waypoint, but that means a majority of players aren’t going to see it, unfortunately.
