Highlights

Despite facing various challenges such as delays and criticism, Halo Infinite continues to make significant strides towards success.

Halo Infinite Season 5 releases in mid-October.

Halo Infinite has faced multiple challenges in the past few years, even prior to its launch in November 2021. The game's appearance received criticism, leading to numerous delays which affected its prospects for a successful launch. Despite some praise for its campaign and gameplay, there were also criticisms regarding the absence of a co-op campaign and the lack of multiplayer content. The live service model implemented by 343 has been a major obstacle, as the studio has struggled to provide enough high-quality content to satisfy fans.

Over the course of a year and a half, efforts have been made by 343 to release content drops and updates during each new season in an attempt to regain the declining fan base. While the player population has fluctuated during the lifespan of Halo Infinite, there has been a resurgence of players with the release of each new season. Although the current state of the game is still viewed as imperfect by fans, significant progress has been made. Each season introduces a substantial amount of new content, and if the leaks and rumors surrounding the updates in Season 5 are accurate, Halo Infinite could potentially enter its most thrilling season yet.

Halo Infinite and the Return of Firefight

Halo Infinite's inclusion of beloved modes like Forge, campaign co-op, and Infection has been a significant step forward for the franchise. And it seems that this positive trend will continue in Season 5 with the possible addition of Firefight. Leaks suggest that Halo Infinite Season 5 will bring the long-awaited Firefight mode, accompanied by updates to Forge that will allow players to customize AI for creating their own maps and PvE game types. Additionally, Season 5 will introduce various Forge enhancements, such as new palettes, canvases, and prefab modes.

In addition to Firefight, Season 5 will also focus on the return of Extraction, a game type that originally debuted in Halo 4. This objective-based mode requires players to extract "Slipspace Crates" from different locations on the map while defending them against the countdown timer. Extraction was highly popular in Halo 4 and continues to be played in The Master Chief Collection. The reintroduction of this game type in a new version would bring an interesting addition to the current matchmaking rotation.

Fans speculate that the upcoming Season 5 of Halo Infinite, titled Reckoning, may include the return of Firefight. Furthermore, there are indications of several other noteworthy additions. These include an improved anti-cheat system that supports modding, renamed difficulties for AI bots (Easy, Medium, Heroic, and Legendary), a shift towards the ranked meta, and potential new Armor Cores resembling "robots." One highly anticipated feature is the inclusion of a drivable forklift. However, the most significant rumored update revolves around the introduction of a new main menu. Fans have expressed their dissatisfaction with the current user interface, and it appears that 343 Industries has taken notice. Although not yet officially confirmed, 343 is expected to provide news soon, possibly during the Halo Infinite World Championship on October 13-15, or beforehand. Until then, players will have to wait patiently. Season 5 of Halo Infinite is scheduled to be released on October 18.

Halo Infinite is available now for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
