I will avoid all reviews and spoilers like the plague. I want to experience it without any preconceptions.
If only we could find the cheaters.

What are you predictions for the final Halo Infinite score on OpenCritic?
I am going to go with 85. I think many feel like they spend $60.00 on Halo in the past, and it was a multiplayer and single player experience. Now they buy it, and they only get the single player experience. So I think "content" will bring the game down. Not to mention, they plan to make it a game that gets more content over time. Sea of Thieves scored poorly because it was barebones. Sea of Thieves TODAY would probably score at least 10 points higher if all that content was there on day one.
My prediction happens to be 1 point higher than Halo 5, which was dinged big time for not having MC being the main focus.
Will they score Halo Infinite and Halo Infinite Multiplayer separately or together? According to Open Critic, it looks like it will be reviewed as a single game:

Description:
Campaign: When all hope is lost and humanity’s fate hangs in the balance, the Master Chief is ready to confront the most ruthless foe he’s ever faced. Step inside the armor of humanity’s greatest hero to experience an epic adventure and explore the massive scale of the Halo ring. To experience the campaign, purchase Halo Infinite (Campaign).
Multiplayer: Legendary Multiplayer, Freed: Halo’s celebrated multiplayer returns, reimagined and free-to-play! Seasonal updates evolve the experience over time with unique events, new modes and maps, and community-focused content.
And it looks like they are tracking the previews of the beta multiplayer already with 10 reviews:

Halo Infinite Reviews
Halo Infinite's multiplayer is nearly perfect, presenting a free and cross-platform offering with genre-defining potential. In the contrast, the campaign is sufficient for any fan of the series.

I like how they ignore that the BP system is actually 3 months ahd the May cut off date is due to delaying season 2.
But hey, it is Kotaku.
"From what I explored, the return to battlefield is only in that first area to stop you running too far ahead, and if you try skip into an area that isn’t unlocked yet. I could only access one chunk of the campaign map, once you complete missions more will unlock."
I know, I'm pretty annoyed at all these youtubers who are let's-playing that first level. Be seeing too much in the thumbnails much less the extreme jealously from having to wait another weeks (a month since they started showing it). Spoiling the whole beginning is ridiculous. I have managed to dodge most footage so far.
It will be more prevalent in ranked, which is what you guys seem to play most.
Halo Infinite: 343i increases XP gains for Battle Pass progression
This change will make leveling up much easier.

In response to these issues, 343 Industries' Community Manager, John "Unyshek" Junyszek, has announced that the developers are increasing how much XP players earn during their first six matches each day. Players will get 300 XP for playing their first match, 200 XP for playing a second and third match, and 100 XP for playing a fourth, fifth, and sixth match. Any further matches played that day will reward 50 XP. This change will make it much easier for players to rank up their Battle Pass, as they'll get a full level each day just by playing six matches (each Battle Pass level requires 1,000 XP).
Definitely, if they would just put more playlists in the game I wouldn't have to play ranked all the time. I'm just not a fan of the quickplay (maps seem too big and I don't like the vehicles in 4v4)
Ranked has them too though, right? I swear I played CTF on Behomoth in Ranked.

It is a start. Are these live now or do we have to wait.
But no mention of changing challenges.
Behemoth is like the kiss of death for me. I hate that map. It looks great, but too many sight lines.
Out this morning in the US. Not sure of exact time.
That means it will change with the weekly reset, that is in about 4h40m from now.
