Ok put about 2 hours in, completed the intro missions before being released into the open world of Halo Infinite. The story is surprisingly good and more human than the previous entries. I don't do much Halo outside the games so the new bad guys are clearly from a different media of story. I assume one of the Halo Wars or books, or whatever. The gameplay is fun and reminds me of Doom. I just finished Halo 4 so for all of the baddies to be speaking so much English is kinda odd. Otherwise, I really like the story so far.
I do have a couple gripes though. I really liked the design of Master Chiefs suit in Halo 4 and 5. I also grew to like the weapon designs from them. So reverting him back to his Halo & Halo 2 suit is odd. Especially with the brighter green color scheme. They did this as well with the Covenants too. The Elites have the same Blue and Red schemes and designs from the original series, as do the Grunts. The jackels seem to change every game though. Same with the Brutes. They started as more ape-like, and now look like hairy Scottish Strongmen.
I also find it odd how they did a hodge-podge of new and old weapons. They bring back the original battle rifle design from 2, the assault rifle design from Reach, and then introduce a new pistol and shotgun design. They do something similar with the 'Banished'/ covenant weapons.
I'll play some more tomorrow and see how the open world aspect is.
