Hardcore Halo Infinite Fans Are Frustrated With State Of Shooter Despite Updates, Events
2.2.2022
Yesterday, Halo Infinite’s samurai-themed “Fracture: Tenrai” event returned for a third round, looking much like it did for its second outing. For some players, it’s another excuse to hop into a fun event with meaningful rewards. But for others, it’s an underbaked game spinning its wheels.Read more

Halo Infinite's Campaign Opening Is Awful
9.12.2021
For a game sold on its wide open spaces, player freedom, and great big sticky-up hexagons, Halo Infinite’s opening couple of hours couldn’t be much less representative. The approximately 700 miles of the same blue-gray corridors and chambers that gate access to the open-world game, feel as though...
Hilarious Halo Infinite Glitch Turns Warthogs Into Go-Karts
8.12.2021

The Top 15 Halo Multiplayer Maps
25.11.2021
By my own rough count, the Halo series has seen some 150 or so multiplayer maps over the course of its two decades. Many of these are good. Some are great. And of course, some are terrible. For this list, I and my fellow Kotaku Halo fans tried to narrow this extensive field down to what we consider...

The Halo Infinite Test Flight Was A Buggy, Frequently Hilarious Mess
4.10.2021
Within my first two deaths I was certain Halo Infinite was doing something right. In that short span of time I identified the nearest power weapon, the skewer (which is also the best gun ever put in a video game), and ran for it. I jumped into one of Halo’s signature man-cannons, which launched...
