Dark City is one of my all time favourite movies. Just brilliant with fantastic acting and visual effects.

Thanks for including that one.

@santinegrete: It's clear if it's not related to the games then it's not for Halo fans anyway.

It is pointless as what people don't get is that you are The Master Chief . You are the character that wears that Helmet so his face is your face. It's really not rocket science that it was meant to be this way.

The sheer amount of atmosphere and mystery this decision created is one of the things that made Halo so great and why nothing else to this day can surpass it in the FPS space.

Xbox does not ban your account for changing your location lol. Craziest thing I have heard in a while. I’ve been in the alpha preview program for years and do it all the time to test out new games.

Sometimes with a console update there may be a region issue and they will even suggest to try a different region to see if it resolves a problem.

@septimius_magna: lol i got the special Xbox one X Cyberpunk console and even though the console was great , the game came later and was a train wreck on Xbox one X lol. Even so i got the game for free with the console and it even includes the first expansion which is pretty cool as well as the Series X upgrade

Even as an Xbox player i'll note how much better the distant world looks compared to Halo infinite just due to them including shadow maps in the distant environment. It really does make a world of difference and there was no excuse not to have them in Halo Infinite on Series X.

@mogan: I appreciate the refreshing honesty in this review. You didn't gloss over the issues. It's clear it is a high quality product but still has issues that need addressing on a technical level as well as them just going a bit too far when it comes to variety in combat. It's a fair take on a large open world game. 8 is still a very good score but compared to Gaming Bolt giving it a silly perfect 10 with all the issues it is appreciated even more that the reviewer here kept a level head throughout.

@bobbo888: let's keep it civil. No need to stoop to gutter humour.

@ticoloco: Erm computer says 'Nooo'

@petebonion: Are you going to pretend lots about Gears V wasn't pure cringe though? . Why on earth they started adding in silly things like tower defence into battles in 4 and especially 5 is beyond me. It just ruined the gameplay for me. If i wanted a strategy game i would play tactics.
