Valor can be earned from playing missions and you spend these on unlocks to use at bases like-new vehicles/guns etc.

Discover new places and points of interest.
Outside of missions the game is open world.
The grappling hook is the new toy and it allows faster traversal, use it to pick up items and grab and go to enemies.
A lot of verticality to the game world.
Set your own marker on the map and that also shows a beam of light in the game.
Rescue squads in the field.
Propaganda towers are all over the world and you can take them down and earn valor.
Rescue other squads and they will join and fight with you.
Satisfying story with an end credits scene.
When you finish the story you can carry straight on with finishing up the activities.
Play how you want.
The banished outposts provided unique self-contained experiences with a mix of gunfire battles and puzzle elements.
Banished outposts house a lot of routes, hidden rooms to beat them.
The enemies have the best voice lines and quip that they shout out.

Halo Infinite Campaign Review Cons:

No Co-op either online or offline.
You cannot replay missions as of yet.
Bad checkpointing.
The Ai troops are bad at following you.
Spawning a vehicle in at the fobs generally kill at least one of your troops.
A lot of dead areas with nothing going on.
One boss fight, in particular, is an absolute ass because it has you fight a hammer-wielding brute in a small room.
The missions structure is less than ideal and doesn’t make it clear what’s the main story and what is side or optional.
The autosave and checkpoint system is screwed up and had me replaying large chunks of the game a lot of the time.
Reloading at a checkpoint or after death doesn’t always give you the loadout you had before.
Only 7 banished outposts.
The Ai that joins you is really weak.
