Although the Halo Infinite campaign lands on December XNUMX for Xbox Series X / S and PC, it seems that it will not be the only content that will keep Halo enthusiasts busy already before the end of the year, as confirmed by the developer three hundred and forty. and three Industries. passionate. Preferred modes are coming to the game's multiplayer sequel.
Halo Community Manager John Junyszek tweeted that the playlists for the Celebration, Tactical Slayer (SWAT) and All Against All modes should be ready before the end of the year.

A strong Halo mode, SWAT removes your shields and motion sensor while producing a "hitcan" weapon (whose projectiles hit instantly and have no travel time) like the Combat Rifle. The result is an intense game mode where a single hit can be fatal.
Fiesta, meanwhile, produces players with two random weapons. It is also any weapon, which means you could get lucky and spawn with a rocket launcher and a power sword. It is a more relaxed mode in which economic killings are awaited and should not be taken too seriously.
Free For All is a considerably simpler beggar-thy-neighbor game genre that offers a considerably more anarchic alternative to team-based modes like Slayer and Oddball. FFA is always and at all times a serious test of skill in any Halo title, so we look forward to seeing it again in Halo Infinite before the end of the year.
Analysis: more modes, no hassle
While the multiplayer sequel to Halo Infinite was great already before the campaign, the number of free modes to play does indeed leave something to be desired.
Currently only 4 game genres are free in standard matchmaking (with 3 Big Team Battle alterations included in a separate playlist), namely Slayer, Oddball, Capture The Flag, and Strongholds. And while most of them are very entertaining and offer a plurality of purposes, it is very common to see exactly the same mode appear multiple times in a row.
Being able to move things around with more returning game modes will likely keep things fresh. And hopefully we can continue to level the game's battle pass in the new modes, despite the more relaxed theme like Celebration.
So this is a good start for the multiplayer sequel to Halo Infinite already before the end of the year, and with other core modes like Forge and the Co-op Campaign still a long way off, we hope that three hundred and forty-three Industries can continue to support their multiplayer. loved ones (and hopefully totally new trends).
