343 Industries Has published a new entry in the Halo Waypoint blog, where he has shown the roadmap of halo-infinite between now and mid-2023. Thanks to IGNwe have also learned that, after several delaysthe cooperative campaign of the game, specifically in its local version in split screen, has been canceled.
“In order to improve and accelerate the development of the live service, and to better respond to player feedback and game quality of life updates, we have reallocated studio resources and are no longer working on the mode. split-screen local co-op,” said 343 Industries.
What can mitigate the damage of this news a little, despite this painful loss for the most staunch and veteran fans of the franchise, is that the cooperative campaign will be playable online with the winter update, the last stage of season 2 that will take place between November 8 and March 7 next year. They warn us that we can find new specific achievements, mission repetitions and a shared progression.
On November 8, the Forge mode will also arrive, something that Halo fans will surely appreciate after having also had the occasional delay, although it will only arrive in beta form and it is not clear what it will bring. A couple of new maps created by 343 with the Forge mode itself will arrive on the same day, so it will serve as a sample of what we can do with it.
You see, sure enough, Season 3 will finally kick off on March 7, so the Halo Infinite team can add yet another delay to the list.
Although it seems that the team has been responding to the community’s complaints regarding the multiplayer options, it seems that the initial success of the game and its good campaign have not yet been matched in quality with online features; We will see how much remains to see in top form the on-line of shooter from 343 Industries.
