Låt oss vara ärliga. Halo infinite började på ett lysande sätt med en fantastisk kampanj och klockren multiplayer. Visst, det var lite snålt på innehåll, men det skulle fyllas ut. Eller det trodde vi i alla fall. Men ingenting hände, sedan ingenting, allt medan fansen började bli riktigt frustrerade.
Men från och med idag verkar det som om saker och ting rör sig i rätt riktning. Halo Infinite har nu fått sin stora Winter Update som lägger till en massa nytt innehåll - bland annat online co-op. Allt detta presenteras i detalj borta på Halo Waypoint och innehåller bland annat saker som:
• Campaign Network Co-Op for up to four players
• Mission Replay for Campaign missions and side objectives.
• 24 new Achievements for Campaign and 100% completion unlocks
• The Forge (Beta) with visual scripting, bots, increased budgets, and more
• A free 30-tier Battle Pass with Halo: Reach-themed customization items
• Match XP (Beta) and Weekly Challenge deck improvements
• Two new Arena multiplayer maps created in Forge:
- Argyle
- Detachment
• New multiplayer mode: Covert One-Flag
• A new Search Region Option for players to better control match latency
• The Competitive Skill Rank (CSR) algorithm has been improved
• Balance changes affecting the Battle Rifle, Plasma Pistol, and more
• Dozens of bug fixes, including a fix for the Headmaster achievement
343 community writer delar även med sig av en ursäkt till alla fans och förklarar att vi kommer att få ännu mer innehåll senare 2022:
"For now, the last thing we want to say is thank you for your support over the past year. We know it certainly hasn't been the smoothest or quickest ride, but with the Winter Update we have an opportunity to show our thanks for the community's dedication and feedback which serves as the north star guiding us to evolve the player experience of Halo Infinite.
The Winter Update marks a major step forward for our game and studio, but this is just the first step of that evolution. The team is actively working on key player experience priorities across the game to address areas of feedback, and we are targeting another game update before the end of this year."
