If you’ve been enjoying the free multiplayer, today is the day you can play the campaign on gamepass.

Early reviews seem very positive and looks like the best halo campaign we’ve gotten in a long time.

If this is your first halo game or you just want to refresh your memory, there’s a lot of recap vids on youtube but I found this to be pretty good if you’ve got time to sit through it.

Also available on xCloud with Gamepass Ultimate.

        Hades is the best game I've played in years.

        • trufflesthepenguin on 09/12/2021 - 14:35

          I started it on Monday and God damn it's good.
          Xbox pass is the best

        I've been playing Doom Eternal recently, been wanting to buy it for a while but after getting game pass now I can just pick it up and play!

        Played Outer Worlds before this, and keen to jump into Halo. So many shooters LOL.

      • [Deactivated] on 09/12/2021 - 19:30

        Hades and Dead Cells are both fantastic action rogue-likes. Slay the Spire is a brilliant deck-building rogue-like.

        DOOM (2016) is a great FPS.

        Control is also fantastic BUT the Game Pass version is locked to 30fps, even on the XSX.

        Donut County is chill. Great to play with your kids; although it is better on a touchscreen.

        Mortal Shell and Jedi: Fallen Order are games similar to Dark Souls. They are good but lack the polish and length of a FromSoftware game.

      • bbbilly05 on 10/12/2021 - 07:34

        Forza Horizon 5 is pretty and fun. Can be a bit buggy at times, but not enough to detract from my experience.

    • Rbrendan on 09/12/2021 - 09:10

    to play on PC, is the "PC" subscription enough? or do you need ultimate?

    • Pudina Chutney on 09/12/2021 - 08:52

      PC is enough.

    • HFB on 09/12/2021 - 08:52

      AFAIK everything that you can play on PC game pass is the same as game pass ultimate.

      I have never seen anything that's not available without ultimate.

      • Lockieasy on 09/12/2021 - 09:35

        True. Ultimate just combines the two Game Passes plus adds Gold (for consoles) and Cloud Gaming.

      If it worked on a PS5, it would be the best thing ever. That way you could have everything on one console

      • mboy on 09/12/2021 - 10:31

        Game Pass was primarily conceived as a way to compete with the PlayStation in this generation, so I really doubt that’ll ever happen.

        • onlinepred on 09/12/2021 - 10:42
          -3

          I know it would never happen, I was just saying it would be the best thing ever if it did. Then I could play the PS exclusives AND use xbox game pass. Currently I have a PC hooked up to my TV for gamepass streaming, and a PS5 for PS games.

      • sallan75 on 09/12/2021 - 10:44

          Yep! Imagine Halo on PS5 and Last of Us/Ghost of Tushima/Horizon Zero Dawn/Spider Man/God of War on Xbox!
          Until then I'll keep using Xbox game pass steaming on my crappy PC, hopefully Sony will release their streaming service and then won't need a Playstation either

              @manbearpig: I have a PC in my entertainment unit, so I sit on the sofa…… I just bought a cheap one for $180 off ebay for streaming xbox game cloud. Computers aren't restrained to only being at a desk you know?

                @onlinepred: I know. I'd still prefer the simplicity and ease of a console instead of mucking around with a gaming PC. Consoles just work. I used to game on PC when I was a student. Not anymore. And streaming isn't quite the same.

                  @manbearpig: Yea hence I got the ps5 for PlayStation exclusives and PC for all Xbox and streaming. Works perfectly, have had no issues. Currently playing halo infinite on the big screen through streaming using Xbox controller. Feels just like a console

  • ThatsCheap on 09/12/2021 - 08:55

    Can I play this as a standalone without knowing the context of what came before, do they do a good job of explaining history in the campaign of this game? I have never played any of the Halo games in the past.

    Or should I play Halo: The Master Chief Collection before jumping into this one? Is that enough, or are there more campaigns I am missing.

    • ozbargainer88 on 09/12/2021 - 09:00

      MCC doesn't include Halo 5. I played 1-4 and watched a video on YouTube that describes the whole story, and still only understand about 50% of it.

      • FireRunner on 09/12/2021 - 10:05

        Does the story ramp up in complexity or something? I’ve been playing the MCC and have beaten the first two games and the story isn’t hard to follow so far

    • SuperC on 09/12/2021 - 09:00

      I think i played Halo 3 once, but never really got into it, going to give this one a go and see, worse comes to worse, finish it, then read wikipedia

    • iDrownFish on 09/12/2021 - 09:00
      +1

      I’d recommend either playing the old games or watching a youtube recap like the one I’ve linked in my post.

      Yeah the Halo MCC includes 6 of the games but theres also halo wars 1&2 and halo 5

    • Lockieasy on 09/12/2021 - 09:32

      I assume there'll be a recap video as part of this campaign, otherwise there's always youtube summaries I guess.

    • mboy on 09/12/2021 - 11:02

      I might be in the minority here, but I've passed all the mainline Halo campaigns and some of the spin offs like ODST and Reach, except for 5 which I didn't enjoy, and I don't remember anything about the story. Something about some halo or something like that? Kill the covenant? Master Chief goes to sleep?

      To be fair I played 1 and 2 when I was quite young, but even in the later titles the story never really left an impression.

    • Sleepycat3 on 09/12/2021 - 12:09

      The old Halo's didn't age as well. The story and cinematics are cool, but the game play and firefight were great back in the day, but you can't compare it to current fps games.

      • FireRunner on 09/12/2021 - 13:57

        Played through the first two for the first time in the last few weeks. Thought it was a decent experience. The vehicles are a blast. Preferred the old graphics for the gameplay but the new enhanced graphics for the cutscenes

      • onlinepred on 09/12/2021 - 09:26

        I can't see it, only the multiplayer version. I can see it's ready to install, but not to stream. Yea I've been playing Forza Horizon 5 on my surface pro 4 haha, it's fantastic! I tried playing a few FPS, and there is some latency. If I play on my PC through cabled ethernet, it's fine though, still not as quick/low latency as local install.

        Played Hades, Forza horizon 4, Stardew, loads of games with no real issues.

      Halo Infinite supports controller and mouse and keyboard even on Xbox

    • mboy on 09/12/2021 - 11:24
      +3

      It doesn't take too long to acclimatise yourself to FPS with a controller, and while it'll never be as quick and accurate as a mouse and keyboard, it does end up feeling quite natural.

      Also, for me it feels more relaxing to sit back with a controller in your lap as opposed to sitting up straight perched over your mouse and keyboard. Maybe it's just because I already work in front of a computer 8 hours a day.
