The Twitch streamer posted a video to TikTok that summed up his overall impressions oftheHalo Infinitemultiplayer. According to NICKMERCS,Halo Infinitefelt like the “same old s***.” Despite acknowledging that the gameplay was “pretty good,” he couldn’t help thinking that something was lacking to help set it apart from other games in the series. In addition to not feeling very original, he claimed that aim assist in the game seemed strange.
While these comments from NICKMERCS are disappointing for those wanting to see him play a lot ofHalo Infinite, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to his fans that he has decided to continue to playApex Legendsinstead. Since he leftCall of Duty: Warzonedue to issues with hackers, he has become a proponent of Respawn Entertainment’s battle royale. Recently, the popular streamer even achieved Apex Predator (the highest rank in the game) for the first time. Following his brief time inHalo Infinite, NICKMERCS has already returned to streamingApex Legendson multiple occasions.

With the hype surroundingHalo Infiniteat an all-time high following the surprise release of the multiplayer, it will be interesting to see if NICKMERCS' opinion about the game remains the same over the coming months. Right now, he seems content to continue to grind Ranked inApex Legends.
