TheHalo InfiniteMultiplayer Beta has a unique position right now in the run up toHalo Infinite’s full launch in December. For all intents and purposes,Halo InfiniteMultiplayer begins today, as player progression in theHeroes of Reach Battle Pass, including all unlocked cosmetics and items, will carry over into the full release of the game. That said, 343 Industries and Xbox are still labeling this surprise launch of the game as the Multiplayer Beta, so it is still not the final form of the game. These experiences will likely provide the final tweaks and modifications that will go live withHalo Infinite’s actual release.
Just last week, 343 Industries published itsOutcomes Report forHalo Infinite’s second test flight. In the extensive document, 343 Industries summarizes its personal observations and fan feedback during the second test flight, spending time with each of the Multiplayer mode’s major aspects. While there are instances where the community won out, like the return ofHalo’s longtime announce, Jeff Steitzer, other areas 343 Industries did not back down from, like the balancing of various weapons, and certain sandbox elements like the lack of player collision. It will be interesting to see how much of what 343 Industries detailed there is reflected in the Beta.
