Halo was my favorite series for a long while. Fell off of infinite quickly after beating the campaign so I should probably boot the multiplayer back up and see how it is now a couple years later.

Temper your expectations. It's better than it was at launch, but it's still fundamentally infinite.

I find it good for a few games, but any more than an hour of play and I just don't want to play anymore. I'll switch over to 5 or another game.

If you don't like pvp and you've finished the campaign, is there any reason to reinstall this?

If you're ever stranded on a desert island, you have nothing but a computer and a bandwidth capped internet connection, download this game until your ISP comes after you and then you'll be saved

Bandwidth capped ? I too was around in the nineties 😅

Is this some kind of European joke I'm too American to understand? In the US the only way you're getting internet service without a bandwidth cap is if you either pay a fortune for it or if you live so far out in the country they haven't even invented bandwidth caps yet.

I was just reacting to your joke lol

I didn't think a bandwidth cap was real. like, today ? there are bandwidth caps ? that's mad. Is there no competition to fight this ?

In my European country, there are no bandwidth caps for DSL or fibre connections. But if you're not in a town (which most of us aren't) and can only get internet via a 4g (or rarely 5g) connection, you have to live with a shitty 700GB cap, which is fucking ludicrous.

700 fucking gigabytes over 5g? That is fucking ludicrous. Around here you're lucky to get a 7gb cap on a 5g plan but I think some people have cellular caps as high as 40gb.

I was talking about broadband at home via a 4g/5g router, not on a phone. They offer plans specifically for people who want internet at home, but who can't get DSL/fibre.

Phones usually have a lower cap, like 50>200GB. I get 50GB with my phone provider for instance.

From the title I was expecting some kind of technical breakdown
