Halo Infinite's Season Five: A Turn for the Better?

There's been a lot of talk about the struggles of Halo Infinite since its launch. However, the core shooting gameplay has received praise for being solid and fun. The main issues have been its restrictive customization options and the limited amount of content, resulting in a somewhat shallow experience.

But things are changing with the arrival of the fifth season, aptly named "Reckoning". This season brings with it excellent additions and improvements to the game's sandbox and customization options. It's safe to say that Halo Infinite is now at its peak, despite a few remaining hiccups.

Exploring New Arena Maps

For those interested in exploring the game's newest arena maps, there's a video tour available. The video also provides a glimpse of other related content like the long-lost Halo demo and the ridiculously detailed Halo Infinite Map of Zelda’s Kokiri Forest.

The Halo Franchise's Identity Crisis

It's not just Halo Infinite that has had a rough time. The Halo franchise itself has been grappling with an identity crisis since the launch of Halo 4 in 2012. Efforts to keep up with emerging trends while staying true to its roots have resulted in several damaging missteps, much to the dismay of its critical fanbase.

Halo Infinite was no exception. The addition of Call of Duty-like loadouts and perks to Halo 4 was controversial, and the switch to a free-to-play live-service model for Infinite's multiplayer did not sit well with fans. Issues included a lack of flexible customization options, a low number of maps, and a polarizing battle pass and challenge system.

Season Five: The Game Changer

But season five, "Reckoning", seems to be changing the game. The Halo community's reception has been largely positive. Among the most important additions in season five are "cross-core" helmets, armor, and weapon coatings, which have significantly expanded customization options.

Previously, customization in Halo Infinite was quite restrictive, with helmets, colors, and paint themes tied to specific armor types, Spartan suits, and weapons. But season five has changed all that. Players are now enjoying the freedom to mix and match helmets from different suits, creating unique looks.

Opening Up a Whole New World with Campaign AI

Halo's map editor and creation toolset, "Forge", has always been powerful. But the introduction of friendly and adversarial AI spawning in custom games has taken it to a whole new level. This has allowed for the creation of straightforward PvE levels, adding an entirely new dimension to the game.
