Browse custom games like it’s the early aughts
TheHalo InfiniteDecember update is out now, and 343 Industries has added quite a bit. Alongside some shifts to cosmetics and the return of a map,Halo Infinitenow also has a custom game browser.
The latest update allows players to flip through available custom games, looking for one they might want to hop into and play. TheHalo Infinitebrowser has filters for different options, including the base map and mode being used.
And asthe traileradvertises, there are already some solid custom game creations out there. They range from recreations to some pretty neat ideas like Paintball, and the browser should hopefully make them easier to find.
Falling back into The Pit
Some other additions arrive in the December Update, too. All armor cores and cadet coatings are now free. AndHalo 3‘s The Pit returns as Empyrean, which is less fun as a name in my opinion, but still looks like the same ol’ Pit I’ve played plenty of matches on.
The custom game browser is really the major addition here though, as it really builds out the Forge component ofHalo Infinite. Forge hitbeta in November, and now discoverability for those modes is that much easier.
I frequently get very nostalgic about the days of custom game browsing. Whether it wasHaloor something likeWarcraft, the server browser was a place where I discovered a lot of cool, fun, inventive ways to reimagine a game I enjoy.
Hopefully, this custom game browser givesHalo Infinitea good boost headed into the new year. With the Forge filling out and network campaign co-op finally in,Halo Infinitemay start to look more like some fans hoped it would.
