It’s a great moment in 343 Industries’ relationship with fans, and this also makes it a good time to take a closer look at the fact that Forge mode and co-op in Halo Infinite will be absent at launch of the game this December 8th. And it seems that 343 Industries have been making quite difficult decisions that have not been well received by many of the fans, but so far they have shown that they are correct.
It all started in August. 343 released a video in which he updated the development status of the game, and revealed that as important as these modes are to Halo fans, Forge mode and co-op in Halo Infinite would not be available until several months later. And that they would arrive as seasonal updates for the game, the Coop three months later and the Forge, six.
This has been the evolution of Halo Infinite in the last year
Why won’t Forge and Co-op mode be in Halo Infinite?
Many Halo fans have failed to settle into the 343 Industries style. Since they were commissioned to develop what is perhaps the most important Xbox franchise As a brand, there have been many critical separations, especially in relation to the launch of Halo 5, in which several surprising decisions were made for the fans. One of them was the elimination, in a surprising and definitive way, the possibility of playing the game in local cooperative.

And this was not the only thing that failed in the game. In fact, its launch was also tainted by the lack of basic features that would arrive some time later. And even though Halo 5: Guardians is indeed a good game, and an evolution in gameplay that makes sense (and that we can see largely in Halo Infinite), did not get the recognition it deserved. Is it the same story with Halo Infinite?
Definitely not. This announcement, as well as the one-year delay, was taken by many as a bad sign of the state of development of the game. And after that a crisis was rumored in 343 And that it was said that the study would close, 2021 has shown how much a game can change from the feedback of the fans. This has been the year of the Master Chief. The multiplayer technical test left a good taste among those who tried it and many positive comments.
First gameplay of the Halo Infinite campaign
There were doubts about the campaign, but the latest gameplay of the campaign presented by 343 Industries managed to captivate the community. This means that despite the tough decision to delay the game for a year, it was undeniably for the better. Now, the delay of the Forge and the cooperative in Halo Infinite, seem the necessary answer to the idea of offering the best experience with Halo. The Campaign Coop offers a significant challenge when it comes to playing on the same console.

The idea that the Coop does not offer the highest graphic quality and the best performance would totally overshadow the launch of the game. It is the same with the Forge. What 343 Industries wants, he once made it clear, Halo Infinite intends to become the future base of the sagaSo taking the development process slow will result in quality. Yes, fans and new players may be disappointed by this delay, but in the end, I think we will all agree with 343.
