Halo Infinite‘s campaign is arguably the best in years. Plenty would have it down as 343 Industries’ best effort to date. It was the game that took the franchise’s single-player in a bold new direction, embracing an open-world campaign for the first time. It was an interesting experiment, one that makes Halo Infinite one of the most unique games in the series.
In this open world set on Installation 07, players can still complete a series of traditional campaign missions. These are separated by area, so once you’ve finished one location, you must move to the next to unlock the next set of missions.
Halo Infinite Campaign Missions Tier List
Halo Infinite features a total of 16 campaign missions spread across seven different areas. Despite the big change in approach, this still very much feels like a Halo campaign. You’ve got Master Chief facing hordes of Covenant (now the Banished) – what more could you want? Halo Infinite‘s campaign missions feel like a love letter to the franchise. You have levels like The Road, which feels like a vehicle mission pulled straight from the previous games in the series. Then, there are missions like Pelican Down, which creates a sense of urgency unlike anything else.
Most importantly, Halo Infinite doesn’t forget to make its campaign missions fun. You can hit the right notes to recreate that classic Halo feeling all you want, but if it isn’t actually fun to play, then it doesn’t matter. Our Tier List here considers the fun factor above all else. S Tier missions are the cream of the crop, the levels you can replay 10 times over and have a blast. Moving down, C Tier levels are the ones you finish begrudgingly during repeat playthroughs, sighing deeply as you wait for the good stuff. Luckily, Halo Infinite doesn’t have too much of that kind of thing.

Halo Infinite Campaign Side Missions Tier List
With Halo Infinite taking a more open-world approach, 343 Industries was able to add side missions to the franchise’s mainline games for the first time ever. Love or hate these side missions, you can’t deny they were a fun change of pace from the main campaign.
All of the seven side missions in Halo Infinite involve liberating some Banished outposts, although the objectives change each time. It’s got a hint of the Ubisoft formula about it, but it works well in Infinite‘s sandbox. The game is at its best when chaos reigns, and these side missions provide that in spades.
