John Carpenter says Halo Infinite is the best of the series

John Carpenter, director of Halloween and other classic films, is a huge fan of Halo Infinite.

On Saturday, Carpenter let everybody know that he’s digging Master Chief’s latest adventure, even claiming Halo Infinite  marks a new high point for the series. 

“Halo Infinite is a fun shooter,” Carpenter said  on Twitter. Immense beautiful production design. Best of the Halo  series.”

Given how famous Carpenter is, loads of fans have been giddy over his comments — including some of the minds behind Halo Infinite. Bonnie Ross, studio head of 343 Industries, was particularly happy about Carpenter’s impressions.

“Wow. Thank you for spending your creative time in our world. And wishing you a happy birthday tomorrow,” Ross said in response.

You might not expect that the guy behind Escape From New York  and The Thing  would be into video games, but he’s shared micro-reviews on Twitter for years now. Back in 2017, for example, he was big on Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Like Carpenter, we were  pretty big on Halo Infinite  too. There is no doubt that it’s one of  Xbox’s best games of 2021, at the very least. Last month, the spacefaring first-person shooter also won  Player’s Voice at The Game Awards.
