I didnt know the game was out.
I was a Halo fan but i got suckered into buying Halo 5 at release night and that game and story was trash, specially been forced to play as the diverisity hire for most of the game.
So, anyone play Halo 6. Buy or not. Maybe sail the seas later? Was Halo 5 ever cracked? I have no interest in MP, i just want to see the story, unless is a wokefest of course.
I can tell you the multiplayer is not very woke atm, the faces of each character are hidden anyway. The character creator does do that bullshit "body type" selection instead of gender selection, but that's pretty much it. I even had a game where we were all calling eachother faggots over voicechat and no repricussions.
That said, it is a live service game, so it's subject to change on a whim. Additionally, the character customization is greedy as fuck with microtransactions, all for a system that is LESS customizeable than Halo 3. The gunplay and map design is good enough to keep me coming back though.
It's worth noting that the only face you see in the MP is in the tutorial, where you're shown the ropes by a strong, black woman of ultimate colour.
And it's implied she features prominently in the setup for the signleplayer.
I'm decently far into the singleplayer now, and there's no sign of whoever that is. Seems like she's only in the tutorial that I skipped.
I didn't even play the tutorial, I just used a bot match to get my bearings. The bots are really well done bte, felt like an actual MP match once I turned up the difficulty.
Yeah, they're pretty good at slayer mode. CTF and objective modes they still act dumb as rocks sometimes, but compared to most games they're pretty stellar.
Haven done Xbox / live in a while.
If i get the game with Gamepass, do i have buy a gold sub? Aka $60 for the game + whatever the sub is?
How is the single player campaing?
No gold subscription needed, and gamepass has pretty much superseded Gold. Microsoft's stopped requiring gold for multiplayer, and the Halo Infinite multiplayer is free to play anyway.
I'm enjoying the campaign so far - storywise, it's been a massive improvement over Halo 4 and 5, and is looking like it'll tie things together nicely. Whether you enjoy it in it's entirety depends on how you like the open world aspect. I'm personally enjoying that part, but only because the actual gunplay is very good, and it prevents the fights when traveling around the open world from getting tedious.
I just saw that i can get gamepass ultimate for $1 the first month. I guess for a dollar, i got nothing to lose lol!
If you go that route, buy year or two of gold. When you do that $1 deal it will upgrade your gold into gamepass meaning a year of gold becomes a year of gamepass for that dame dollar.
Speaking of which, can you finally dual-trigger again? I remember they removed it in later games, which made no sense to me, all because some people complained about balance or whatnot. But I loved using it in the single-player (I was never fond of multiplayer), and for a short while it was actually an innovative feature in FPS games. Then when Halo culled it so did everybody else.
I've lost a lot of interest in FPS titles over the years because it seemed like they hit an apex during 7th gen and then started removing features and calling it "progress".
COD still does it, and Killing Floor (though it's mechanically one trigger there I believe), but otherwise I haven't seen any series that allow it in either SP or MP.
Thanks for the info. I always forget about COD for an FPS fix... then again they've gone woke in recent years so I guess it won't be making it on the wishlist anytime soon.
I bought WWII to play with siblings, and dropped $10 on a battle pass for Warzone, both of which against my better judgement, and in fact basically immediately regretted the battle pass purchase. If you have some friends to play with and can find a way to play them without giving ActiBlizz any money they're a lot of fun, but the only people substantially woker than them are indies (and yeah, they probably aren't the worst in this area among the big publishers, but that's mostly a matter of press, not a matter of what they believe, IMO.)
