Pistol does rip but it’s pretty unforgiving with the clip. If you miss a few shots, then yeah, the 12 clip is not going to get the job done, but that’s the trade off and why Halo isn’t like COD where the first person to shoot will wins because they can unload a huge clip.

Yep, exactly. You can’t miss more than a couple shots. And you’ve gotta finish with the heady or you’re toast. I’ve found when I slow down my shots and shoot in rhythm while moving I tend to hit every shot. Of course if you’re almost dead you don’t have this luxury.

Neither the Pistol nor the AR can kill more than one full-shielded enemy in a single clip.
Thats part of what keeps them ‘in line’ and prevents them from dominating like the Pistol in Halo CE and Halo 5 did.

Yeah I think both are pretty good, and I usually hate ARs. ARs you have to be at the mid range at most and any farther you can get dominated by players using the pistol for headshots so got to keep in mind that for regular slayer where you spawn with both.
And even still you can lose that fight if they are getting their headshots

This AR is pretty good even at distance. I usually save the pistol for the final shot if needed but as long as the AR is aimed at the head after shields are down you're good.

I just started the campaign. I have to say, I'm really enjoying myself.
That said, I seem to get sniped by brutes throwing cubes at me from across the map. Anyone else getting that "fun"?
True.
Small clip, but quick reload time.

Posted this on reddit as well. What do you guys think?
With all the different choices of armor cores and different things you can equip, I think it would be cool if they implemented a "Random" selection option for your customized stuff. Let me explain.
Say you get 10 different slots (this number can be whatever, im just using it as an example) to create a customized character. You don't have to use all the slots, if you just wanted to use 2, then do so. Each game, it will randomly select one of your customized characters to play with. This way you can utilize all the different things you have unlocked if you so choose. Of course, if you don't want to ever change your character you could still have the same customizations for each game.

Other games have this in terms of randomizing the skins you play with. You will probably have to do a few presets and it would select from them.

Hunters give me fits in this game. I haven't ever had this much trouble with them in a campaign.
I presume I should learn the dodge ability better and use it. Hard to get away from the grapple hook

I love the contrast between the corridor style missions (that I’ve played) and the open world. The Conservatory mission was super fun. Really loving the campaign and the freedom to play whatever way you want.

Going to return to the campaign after Christmas. I'm off work until Jan 3rd and wanted something to do lol. I left off getting the 2nd skull. Any recommendations on what to rank up first when it comes to your abilities? Also, can you spawn more FOB marines if say some of them die? I was in a mission and all of a sudden they were gone and I don't know how to get them back.

Definitely the grappleshot. Once you have that thing fully ranked you can go anywhere. Shields were what I focused on after that.

Grappleshot and shields.
I rarely use anything else. The throw shield barrier thing I guess would be next

Campaign spoilers I guess, so skip if that matters to you
Reall, REALLY, enjoyed the story in the campaign here. Kind of think the game lacked a different enemy type though (like radically different, not just more types of Banished/Sentinels). I was holding out hope we'd get a Flood appearance, or that the Endless would be revealed.
I do feel like the shortcomings of the story are beause they basically decided to do a soft reboot and ignore a lot of Halo 4 and 5. Whoever was the narrative designer of those needs a new job on something other then Halo
What are your thoughts on the future of Halo story/lore? Apparently Inifinte is to be used for the next few years as an ongoing story telling method of sorts to continue the lore. How do you think this will be accomplished? Seasonal campaign DLC that take 4-6 hours to complete? Big Add-ons? Where do we go from here? When will the first large content drop be?

Also, Weapons new name is clearly Cortana, right?

Definitely grapple-shot first. I maxed it out before I spent cores on anything else.
After that, your choice of armor or thruster pack, depending on how much difficulty you’re having.
All the other abilities are too situational to bother prioritizing.
Maybe on Legendary Ill feel different.
Finally got to campaign and holy smokes I just finished the second level, Foundation, which is an unbelievable campaign level. Could go down as a top ten level of all-time for me from any Halo campaign.
That one is good. Conservatory, which is a little later, has been my favorite so far.
Finally got the Wasp in the campaign, and it’s a game changer.
Have you heard about the AA gun? If not, I recommend youtube-ing it if you want to talk about game changers lol. I am not going to use it though since you can't get it back.
Compared to previous Halo games, I think Infinite's multiplayer is sorely lacking as far as match options.
I would think everyone would agree with that. They said that’s what they’re going to work on after Holiday break with Ranked playlists and other things (they mentioned more Slayer playlist options).

Well I guess that's the end of my campaign run. My save appears to be borked - I load in and crash. No fixes have yet worked.
Disappointing. Don't really feel like starting over....I had made a lot of progress.
Oh well.
Fun game, frustrating at times. Very odd choice of storytelling format in my opinion, without getting into spoilers. Seems like most of the "big" plot happens offscreen.
Guess I will watch how it ends.

I'm done with this ****ing game.
Last 5 game scores in slayer: 50-15, 50-13, 50-24, 50-17, 50-34. Best player in all 5 games barely going positive because my teammates have the combined motor skills of a mentally challenged toddler.
I'm tired of this game's shitty matchmaking, i'm tired of the assault rifle being a crutch for drooling idiots who can't actually aim and i'm tired of the third world servers not registering anything. Holiday break is over already and they haven't said a single thing about the state of the game. BTB is still broken until january
343, kindly f*** off and never make a halo game again.

Happy New Year from Xbox to Russian gamers. Ballet interlude on Halo Infinite music, the dancer is Kirov Ballet's ballerina Anastasia Plotnikova.
The matchmaking in this game is truly ass. Feels like most games I’m either winning by a landslide or losing by one. Very rarely am I getting good even games.
Don’t even get me started on non-ranked play. Something about going through 12 different teammates a game makes me never want to touch it. I’ll stick to ranked.
