The battles quickly become incredibly intense along with the well-designed courses that offer well-balanced choke points where the battles always get extra hot. The grappling hook that is so important in the campaign is in multiplayer decimated into an item to pick up, and the battles thus feel quite exactly like Halo should feel. The pace is slightly lower here than in Halo 5: Guardians in particular and the sprint doesn't feel quite as fast. This too is a very fun way of playing that encourages teamwork and a lot of shooting. It is also possible to steal the opponents' batteries if they manage to install some. However, they are a lot of them and it is important to be quick and prevent the opponent from getting over any. The one that stands out the most is the newcomer Stockpile where it is important to transport a kind of battery to its own base. This basically means variants of flag catching, Oddball, Strongholds, Total Control, and of course, Slayer. Leaving aside the restriction, 343 Industries has, fortunately, bet on safe cards among the modes of play so everyone is really good. It simply takes time to kill a Spartan warrior and it is important to lie on with weapons and grenades to sink your enemy, and often an injured opponent gets so close that it becomes hand gestures that determine the outcome of a duel. The latter is important because it gives that little unique Halo feeling that you have been shot hard where the opponent got really nice hits, but I still live and have the chance for a comeback. In practice, this means that 343 Industries has finally got rid of non-purpose weapons that lacked a real purpose, made courses that are really suitable for the modes of play, and significantly slowed down. This is the closest we've come to Halo 3 since. Most people probably assumed that it was about single-player, but the fact is that I also think they meant multiplayer. Early on, 343 Industries announced that Halo Infinite would be a soft reboot. How the campaign is in Halo Infinite we will talk about in a separate review before the premiere, but for now, we only get to tell you about the multiplayer part. This while Halo 5: Guardians had a somewhat flawed campaign but a consistently good multiplayer, which many, however, thought retained too little of the Halo basics through a much higher tempo. Halo 4 had problems with both campaign and multiplayer where many - not without points - thought the inspiration from Call of Duty was too great. Since then, the battles have expanded, gained more features and the basically sleepy Halo tempo has been cranked upīut after Bungie handed over the series to 343 Industries, it hasn't quite managed to hit the right one. I dare say that I was one of the first in Sweden to play it when it happened, and it led to a hopefully lifelong love story. That's exactly what makes Halo and this has been the cornerstone ever since Halo: Combat Evolved was released. It's that surgically accurate feeling when I aim with Battle Rifle 75, the intensity of jumping over half a track sitting behind the levers of a Ghost, the pressure of jumping from a high mountain and blowing up an entire team with perfect SP4NKR rocket, and that exaggerated madness when I and the co-players wide-load in front of the opponent's flag for a quick jolt before they even realise what's happened.
