The cooperative campaign of Halo Infinite and the Forge modes will not be available at launch, confirmed the Head of Creativity of 343 Industries, Joseph Staten, in an update video for developers published on Friday.

The news arrives after the conclusion of the first technological preview of Halo Infinite, which provided players the opportunity to help developers perform stress testing and improve the main multiplayer mode of the game. While no new game clips were shown in the update video this month, 343 Industries wanted to be transparent about how progress was going on the way to the long-awaited Halo infinite launch.

Sometimes, honest conversations are difficult conversations. Thank you for your patience and your passion. We are committed to sending only the functions when they are ready and to make sure that all of you have an excellent #Haloinfinite experience on all platforms this vacation. https://t.co/e3sqa7jlwg.

As Staten himself said, the cooperative campaign is up to the multiplayer in terms of being fundamental for the halo experience, either through the network or the split screen game.

Meanwhile, Forge has been a habitual element of the series from Halo 3, which allows players to create their own maps and game modes using the existing elements and resources of the games.

Unfortunately, both modes will not be available at Halo Infinite from the first day, since 343 Industries continues committed to 100 percent with the launch of the campaign for a player and the free multiplayer mode of the long-awaited Shooter in this Christmas season with A certain level of quality and polishing. Wait for the community.

Unfortunately, as we focus on the team for closing and we really focus on a quality experience for the launch, we make the decision really difficult to delay the shipment of the cooperative campaign for the launch, said Staten. And we also made the difficult decision to delay forge shipping after the launch.

According to Stateg, when evaluating the states of the two modes to send them to Xbox and PC, the study felt that they simply will not be ready.

Instead, they will be launched as part of the Seasonal Route map of Halo Infinite in 2022.

After Halo Infinite is launch with his campaign for a player and multiplayer in season 1, Staten says that the team aims to launch the cooperative campaign in season 2 three months later, and forge in season 3 another three months after that.

A large part of the difficulties in preparing the campaign cooperative mode for the first day is that, for the first time in the history of the series, Halo Infinite History mode will have a semi-open world design. With open and non-linear jack that allows players to progress in the way they want more than ever, it makes programming systems for cooperative mode be much more difficult to do.
