Halo Infinite is worth your time, but not your money 

The title is honestly really, REALLY accurate. The game and modes are a lot of fun. But the shop prices... well yea we all know how they are..

I can't tell what's worse, the fact that Nick misread the roman numeral for 4 or that Thomas didn't edit in some kind of meme about it

If they just made it to where you can buy individual items in the shop I would spend a lot of money curating my spartan drips. Buying bundles and seeing that most of it I wont use turns me away.

The fact you can't put the needle in the Air Assault helmet hurts my soul.

Why is he soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo RED ?

I think HiddenXperia really likes the Flood.

4:54 I'm surprised there wasn't a "Carrier Forms" reference...

What I really want in Infinite right now is new weapons and vehicles. The core gameplay is great, but the sandbox hasn’t grown substantially. So many weapons/vehicles to spice up the sandbox, and they just refuse to make it a priority.

I left this game in March 2022 update. Logged back on today and they have only added like 5 arena maps. The others are forge made. It’s like there are only 10 people working at 343

The Banished and Halo Wars armor were probably the only good things in the shop that was worth purchasing to me, everything else can kick rocks.

with Sbmm forcing you to lose 10 games for every game you score better id say its not even worth your time. just play custom games with friends if you want a fair experience. nobody thinks "SBMM" is a good thing for gaming and this game probably has the worst sbmm system ive ever seen

Luke be like "floodfloodfloodfloodfloodfloodflood"

Iv always wanted my spartan want to be apart of the banished, or rouge in some way, so the armor to me is sick, i would spend money on the game but at the same time...i dont....

I’ve had a hell of a time with firefight and Super fiesta. But I pay no attention to the shop 😂 other then the Spartan coin shop

It just *BAFFLES* me that 343 has been improving everything about the game except for the store prices and the addition of weapons and vehicles. Like, good lord, man...I want to sing their praises, because the team behind MCC's resurgence absolutely *KILLED* it out there, making it one of the most definitive game compilations of all time, and here Infinite is suffering while other games like it are thriving because they provide the two things that it is suffering from the opposite of.

Give us the FALCON

nah, i dropped infinite. Eldewrito has risen again.

damn i wish i saw this video before spending 100 dollars on the shop

Not really worth either IMO. If you're not 100% happy with something, move on to something else. There will be more Halo games in the future (hopefully).

Welcome to North Carolina! I’m a Charlotte, NC native but the state has some beautiful views, close to the beach, and fun night life.

Welcome to our state Nick I hope you enjoy it here

The fact you can't match the needle attachment with Kat's helmet is typical, wth

I'm personally glad you never brought up the store before since I was with you. If you didn't like it it was easy to just ignore it and note buy anything more than what you need but yeah the current system is a big step back.

Bro... too see you getting enjoyment out of doing a RU-vid video instead of all on the live stream is absolute gold!!! I live in the country, so live streaming is very hard for me. I would love to watch you live but the lag is crazy. So seeing you get enjoyment for this again is fantastic! I know you most likely miss your home.. and that is completely understandable, But to know that you are in the USA making content and once again finding enjoyment in RU-vid for us country folk, it's just super appreciated man And if no one has said so, I thank you for unknowingly thinking of us. I can't wait for future content. Keep up the good work we love it!! You probably won't read this, but I just want it said/written down for us silent simple folks that don't say much, thank you our UberBro for the content!!!!

Glad to see the plasma pistol return to it's cannon status of being able to emp with the charge shot

Only real one know what the original title was gonna be

Hi from Twitch!

Dope Vid!!!

I only needed the very first shader and the kat reference I own every thing else in the exchange already

I'm trying to go for the Half-Life HEV suit look, but some items I need to buy a whole bundle for the one piece that seems to work best.

bro 2:17 sent me hahaha

The ranked quit system that ends the game if it’s a 3v4 doesn’t work, happened to me multiple times last night, game kept going

the flood cameo had me laughing so hard I almost spit out my drink

Dude welcome to NC !

I hope my sweet sweet granular doesnt come back

Most of that stuff in the bundle shoulda been in the battle pass, especially the bandit rifle variant

They are just selling the battle pass stuff but in one bundle now I’m convinced of it

What i really want is to chose the mode i want to play i don't like slayer because it's full of camping and running away why not remove it from quick play

That is a key point of this halo, you get something from the store or you get nothing, 343 cannot monetize absolutely ALL armor and its accessories, if an armor is very cool then no I would see a problem with monetizing it, but that's why 95 percent of everything they make is collected because I prefer to buy a halo for 100 dollars than spend 100 dollars on 3 regular armors. So of simple.

If we don’t get a new game announcement this year, could we at least get another weapon in Infinite? Game is so dry, and will continue to be dry for years if we don’t get any new sandbox items. Let us enjoy the wait for the next Halo game.

Well in good news nick you'll be able to get that bandit model in like 6-12 months with spartan points maybe xD

Ok just me or is anyone else distracted by how orange/red Nick looks?

The fact that the biggest addition to the game is the plasma pistol emp is just depressing. 😅

Id be so much more likely to spend money on the game if they just monetized it reasonably

I think the game NEEDS to be able to get items individually with Spartan Points. Once the life cycle of this game ends, being able to earn the items without having to buy bundles would be amazing and give players a reason to keep playing this game besides the exchange and getting max rank. If 343 makes it so that Bundles are the only thing that are purchasable and you can earn everything through just playing the game, I’m cool with that. Don’t make items too grindy to unlock, they’d need to balance it. But I’d say for blue items, it should only take a week/completing all weekly challenges to get 1 item of blue rarity. For purple rarity, I’d say 2-3 weeks worth of completing weekly challenges and dailies to get purple rarity items. Then for legendary, I’d say 2.5-3 weeks max to get legendary rarity items. Idk, maybe that’s still too grindy but I’d definitely just want the ability to earn all items in game within reason. If any item exceeds 3 weeks of play time and grinding to earn, I think that is absolutely horrendous. Especially if they are dependent on operation passes to get items. Hopefully 343 balance the exchange correctly because armor, coatings, and attachments should all be equal values with the only SP price change being the rarity of the item. Like blues being 2,500-5,000, purples being 7,500-12,500 and legendaries being like 15,000-17,500. The ONLY things that I think should ever be like 30,000 SP are the armor effects and kill effects.

From that 3200 i just want the bandit evo model and the paths of domince helmet cmon 343

343- “hey know how people been complaining bout the shop prices? How bout we fix it by adding 3 fugly helmets, 1 fugly chest piece, 2 fugly sets of shoulder pads and other useless armor pieces that don’t even look good for 3,200 credits” 👌👍

Welcome to North Cackalacky.

Nick said it

Nice video.

I dont want to wait 2+ years in the dark for the next halo game 😭 i hope we will have stuff to play until then ( i wont mind ending support if the game release 1 year after that but that aint happening in years:/ )

The only person I’ve ever heard say that Extraction is fun 🤣

Great seeing a video from ya, Nick. Hope all went well with the move!!

ARE YOU GOOD BRO?

10:55 how are cool with that 😭 i mean new game yay but after how long:(

I'm still unable to play this game due to lag. I never had any issues with matchmaking until the patch that addressed the whole skill based mm system. Suddenly, enemies are jumping all over my screen and can't hit shit. 343 cant do anything right without inadvertently fucking something else up.

Honestly I haven't really played Halo Infinite since I beat the campaign on heroic 2 days after it released. I mean I tried re-playing the campaign on legendary and just got bored of it. It just feels lacking compared to Halo 3/Reach's multiplayer, especially when vehicles are involved.

“In gyeahm”

I think it would be in Microsofts best interest to get another studio working on Halo. No, not replacing 343. Let 343 focus on the next game. Bring in a different studio/dedicated team to keep up with Infinite. Even 10 to 20 devs. They can focus on bringing in content. Making new content/maps, and updates as needed. And at this point, I don't care if new weapons in the game are balanced at all. I'm not sure if anyone does with the amount of forge fusions of weapons there are in custom games.

We need more weapons and vehicles! From past halo games added to halo infinite!

10:18 no its not

This video had 117 likes and I took that from you!

Exchange is cool, but come on man why is the Anniversary coating in there, can there not be one benefit to playing day 1 lol?

Who do I have to blow to get a decent game at launch?

Welcome to the United States Uber Nick!

Jus seeing the title had to leave the like

W video Thomas :)

343i went from heading the right direction to,...screw the fans. Again.

It's a shame all the hard work that went into designing the Banished armour for the Spartans was immediately destroyed by the scuffed store bundle that I refuse to buy. The armour looks awesome but out of principle, I'm not buying it.

I know this has nothing to do with Infinite. However my only favorite two Halo Games are Halo:Reach and Halo 3:ODST. Don’t get me wrong I’ve played all first shooter games but found more appreciation in those two only.

I came from twitch I think?

If it’s worth ur time then mine as well buy a bundle once in a blue moon

came from twitch. love heart comment plz

Nick legit question youre not from the US? how did you obtain your green card? Im bringing my fiance to the states and curious about other ppls journey. Thanks Great vid as always.

I came from Twitch

It’s painfully obvious that 343 is just trying to make the most of Infinite in its twilight while putting in the least amount of effort

what ever happened to new AI companions?

Yea I used to buy a few things per season but I haven’t bought anything since January with the SoF operation. Everything since then has just been super over priced and weirdly tone deaf. Idk how we went from the games best season with Season 5 six months ago to this. Really disheartening. From now on my final hopes are that we get VIP and Assault added. As soon as they announced seasons were gone, I made peace with the fact we weren’t ever getting new weapons or vehicles. But I hope at least those two modes as they’ve apparently been sitting basically done for ages (particularly VIP)

I live in north carolina and it did get hotter over here

No it’s not worth my time but hero grind must continue lmao

Tenrai 4* V=5 IV= 4

I rarely spend money from the shop unless it was hardcore throwback or something really cool like weapon models. I haven’t spent much since December or anything. But yeah they should definitely make the shop worthy full of items. I guess they wanted to keep the monetization since it’s still a F2P and idk where that money goes but hopefully it’s towards the next Halo game. They should make a UberNick armor coating.

Welcome to NC Uber Nick - from one NC Nick to another

i twitch from came 👬

Espero que el siguiente juego de halo no sea de servicio, la verdad nosé cuáles la forma perfecta de monetizar un juego creén que siguiente halo que te cobren por los mapas cómo hace 15 años

The correct, objective answer is "No" to both statements. Play Wars and MCC instead!

white dots the person who edits your videos keep making you more and more red

AVATAR MAP ANYONE?

Can they optimize this for my potato please?

We need REAL firefight, not the gimmick they made. What they made for firefight is great but its not firefight. It PVE KOTH.

The increased prices are the price to pay for wanting cross core. You guys get what you voted for.

Why does ubernick say “big bundle” like that lol am I the only one that thinks the way he’s says it is funny? lol

Have you changed your colour grading? You look even more orange than usual.

At one point I bought ONE battlepass, and I ONLY did it because the level progression for the one I chose, will give me enough in-game credits to get another without using my actual money. Theoretically another one would unlock the next, that costs 1k creds, and the remainder is enough to buy the 500 cred passes. BUT, I thought this new update would make unlocking things easier, but now I'm seeing it as their way of using my time in life as currency. It's eventually going to get old and even if I strategically use unlocked points to keep accessing passes, what am I really getting, if it's gonna be null and void by the time the next Halo game comes out? Will they implement a system to transfer my cosmetics? Do I actually even own the game since it's digital? Will Infinite eventually lose value and be forgotten? Questions I more than likely know the answer to.

Uninstalling Infinite over a year ago was sadly one of the best decisions I've ever made. It's too depressing to play your favorite franchise's game, and realize it's only 10% of what it could be.

I'll come back to the game in 2 years when the forgers/modders have taken over 👍

great video

Well i make 150k a year so i got something called disposable income and ill spend my money on whatever i want thanks tho

How I wish I could agree with this, but Halo Infinite is just not worth it at all for me anymore. Hopefully the next Halo game will have a better launch and better designs, weapons, and gameplay. Whenever it comes out.

I don't really follow halo news but are they really giving up on infinite? If so are they making another halo? What happened to infinite will be around for 10 years lol
