Highlights
- An awesome Halo Infinite gameplay moment resembles a “lore-accurate Spartan” from the Halo books.
- Halo Infinite’s unique sandbox produces gameplay moments like no other title.
A Halo Infinite player online has shared an amazing multiplayer clip, featuring a moment that lore-accurate Spartans from the Halo books would be proud of. After a bunch of updates by 343 Industries, Halo Infinite finally offers some of the best multiplayer gameplay the series has to offer, and this clip shows why that’s the case.
One of the big appeals of the Halo series in general has always been its robust multiplayer sandbox. All the way from Halo: Combat Evolved to Halo Infinite, whether it’s a title developed by Bungie or 343 Industries, the games have a unique feel to the sandbox that is difficult for other titles to match. Anything can happen at any time, resulting in a ton of crazy moments over the years. The recent addition of Halo 3 maps to Halo Infinite further fueled that nostalgic feeling for the newest title in the series.
It’s Time For 343 To Pull The Trigger on a Bold Halo Idea It’s Had For Years
Ever since 343 Industries took over development for the Halo franchise, the studio has crafted a concept that needs to finally be in a game.
Redditor Boomers_the_Name shared their epic gameplay clip, which shows the player charging into battle on a Halo Warthog. Their gunner bails on them before they enter combat, but they persevere. They throw their Warthog over a jump, diving out of the vehicle, before hijacking an enemy aircraft in midair while it’s taking off. They take control of the new vehicle, while the enemy falls to their death over the side of the map. It’s such a uniquely Halo moment, and when players pull off similar moments, it produces a feeling like no other in gaming.
Halo Infinite ‘Lore-Accurate Spartan’ Gameplay
One player in the thread described them as a “lore-accurate Spartan,” while another claimed it was like “John Halo in the books.” One of the biggest points of discussion for Halo fans over the years has always been the difference between Spartans in the books and games. In the books, their abilities are described as superhuman, which the games don’t always accurately replicate in the hands of players. However, this particular moment from Boomers_the_Name definitely blurs the line between the two with this epic display of skill, showing why Halo remains one of the best multiplayer FPS series ever.
It’s a strange period of uncertainty for the Halo series at the moment. 343 Industries has finally stopped development on The Master Chief Collection, and all its efforts now seem to be focused on continuing to improve Halo Infinite. It certainly hasn’t been an easy route for the title, which struggled to win fans over on its original launch. However, with perseverance from 343 Industries, it has become arguably one of the best Halo titles on the market. It will be interesting to see how long the studio continues with Halo Infinite, before finally making the decision to move on to a sequel.
