Lifelong halo fan here, to say that Halo Infinite was a disappointment is... putting it lightly.
Nobody likes paragraph reviews, so I'll make my points separate.

The campaign: Completely time skips the big bad enemies from the end of Halo 5, brings in the enemies from Halo Wars 2 with no explanation, doesn't make any sense lore wise, who cares about plot holes? What about the big character reveal at the end of Halo Wars 2? Zero mention, what about the Spirit of Fire? Nothing. By the way the big bad guy from HW2 is dead, no one knows why. Oh wait the post credits scene reveals he isn't dead! So everyone was wrong! It feels like they're trying to give a soft reboot to the series, and they failed miserably.

The multiplayer: Incredibly boring compared to other entries in the series. They removed beloved mechanics from Halo 5, made an annoying mockery of the Infection mode, the announcer is the most ANNOYING thing ever. The devs only care about pushing an INSANE amount of micro transactions, and they seem to have abandoned their well rounded battlepass system from before.

The community posts: They will make many community posts speaking of adding more micro transactions, and pushing DEI content. If anyone critiques them, speaks their mind, or expresses disapproval, they are permanently banned from the community hub.

It hurts me to see the series I grew up with turn rancid like this... also friendly reminder, this game is their 10 year plan. We have to deal with this slop for another seven years according to them.
