![]() Otherwise, we get a story that makes them seem incompetent, or the series ends. There’s no real way to beat a full blown Flood threat without firing the Halo rings, so there pretty much can’t be a real Flood threat. You’re stuck with either a small outbreak that probably doesn’t change much, or Halo 3 again and the Flood get beaten because the plot requires them to. In general, I’m not too keen on the Flood returning, mainly because I find that they’re incredibly limited, narratively speaking. We get a Swords of Sanghielios or a Shadow of Intent DLC focusing on the Arbiter and his people retaking worlds from the Created and/or coming to the aid of the UNSC to help fight off the Banished Īnd we get a Red Team or Ferrets DLC where they have to simultaneously prevent the Flood from escaping back to the Milky Way, and somehow use the Ark to disable the Halos so neither Cortana nor the Banished can use them as leverage. to make sure Chief succeeds and/or what's left of the UNSC doesn't collapse Then, we get a Fireteam Osiris or an Alpha-Nine DLC focusing on them fighting other Created and taking mission-critical locations, resources, etc. ![]() Like, main game is Chief and maybe Blue Team going after Cortana, bumping shoulders with the Banished as they try to take out the Created, first, and seize control of Halo and/or other installations. I feel like Infinite is going to need several DLC packs just to sort out the absolute fustercluck of a story that it's launching from.

Halo Infinite’s multiplayer portion is currently a free-to-play download on Steam and the Microsoft Store.This is the place to go if you're seeking discussion related to the Halo universe crafted by Bungie and cared for by 343 Industries. Season 3’s other additions include a new 100-tier battle pass (of course) the single-shot M392 Bandit rifle, and the Shroud Screen equipment which works like a smoke grenade that's been stuck in a bubble.ģ43 have been struggling with layoffs and turbulent dev cycles, but hopefully they can keep Season 3’s momentum going with shorter seasons in 2023. Who’s to say if this will change in Echoes Within? The trailer certainly teases some big revelations, and a change in location is definitely welcomed. Infinite’s multiplayer has been trying to tell a story since launch, but it’s amounted to nothing more than awkward cutscenes so far. The most exciting Forged map in the trailer is Art’s Room, a normal bedroom where spartans are shrunk down to the size of toys and battle it out across a work desk, an Xbox mini fridge, and a skateboard. Forge mode has been Infinite’s saving grace these past few months, and it’s blessed us with fan-made recreations of Mario Kart’s DK Mountain, Whiterun City from Skyrim, and some other generally wild stuff. The trailer for Echoes Within also highlights the game’s Community Collection Playlist, allowing fans to play matchmade games on Forged maps. They’re all gorgeous and I’m glad to see Halo’s whacky alien vehicles in some bigger Arena maps. There’s Cliffhanger - the grassy rocklands - and then there’s Chasm - the blue tinted Forerunner interior. Fans have been craving environments outside of Infinite’s Seattle-inspired mountain forests, so it’s nice to see a red hot desert enter the fray (snow next, please.) The two other Arena maps remix Infinite’s standard aesthetics. ![]() The new big team battle map Oasis is the perfect addition to Infinite’s roster. ![]() Echoes Within is undeniably the biggest update to Infinite since launch, as it’s adding new maps, weapons and equipment, and expanding the multiplayer’s narrative - which has been a series of perpetual teases so far. Halo Infinite has been in an extended slump since its second season began 10-months ago, but 343 Industries are hoping to turn things around when Season 3: Echoes Within starts next week on March 7th.
