Halo has always been known for advanced enemy AI, but that has been elevated to a new level. With Halo Infinite, smarter enemies will pick up better weapons from the ground, weapon racks, and even from new “Grunt Mule” enemies, while the stronger Brutes are capable of throwing Fuel Cells and even entire Grunts at the player. Player upgrades ensure that you can always stay on top in any given situation, but will vary in use depending on your foe. The grappling hook, for example, will attach to Brutes but bounce off of Hunters.
There’s a lot to unpack here, and it paints a genuinely impressive picture. Halo Infinite wants to have the most nuanced and wild sandbox yet, even in the campaign, and everything 343i has shown off so far supports this.
