One of the most important parts of Halo is the customization, and based on what 343 Industries has shown in this test, it looks like Halo Infinite's will continue the trend. Halo Infinite preview: Customization and battle pass Sprint, clamber, and slide all bring fluidity to Halo Infinite's gameplay, but the sandbox is still the star of the show. This is a move I've grown to appreciate, given that Halo 5's "advanced mobility" focus felt like a departure from what makes Halo enjoyable. In terms of movement, Halo Infinite has brought sprint, clamber, and slide back from Halo 5 while getting rid of the Spartan Charge, ground pound, and thrust abilities. It's too early to say how well balanced and useful these equipment pieces are, but I will note that I've been able to use all of them to pull off some pretty slick plays in the beta. These include items like the grappling hook you can use to traverse the map or pull weapons, the deflector shield that's capable of reflecting projectiles back at enemies, a deployable cover shield, and more. Halo Infinite's sandbox is also bolstered by the return of equipment pickups. Halo Infinite's weapon and equipment sandbox is a joy to engage with. #HaloInfinite /vCUKiqVHC0- Brendan Lowry July 30, 2021 Experimenting with the nuances of each of these weapons has been a blast so far, and I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the game's arsenal. Don't forget the Skewer, a power weapon that sacrifices magazine size and reload speed for a deadly projectile that can deliver instant death to your enemies. The Plasma Pistol's shield-piercing capabilities make it a perfect weapon to pair with a precision one for the classic "noob combo," while the Sidekick's quick fire rate and solid damage-per-shot make it an excellent backup when you can't afford to reload. Looking for short-range devastation? The Bulldog shotgun or the Heatwave energy weapon with two different firing modes available.
Want a precision weapon? Grab yourself a Battle Rifle or a VK78 Commando. More importantly, each weapon has clearly been designed around filling a unique role in combat, which is a huge component of the formula that made classic Halo so fun to play.
Every weapon available in the game so far feels absolutely incredible to use thanks to their snappy handling, crisp sound design, and excellent animations. After three years of waiting, we've finally got our hands on a playable version of Halo Infinite's multiplayer, and overall I'm very impressed.
