Halo Infinite's Long-Awaited Campaign Co-op Has Been Delayed Out Of May
343 Industries confirmed that Halo Infinite’s long-awaited Campaign co-op has been delayed out of May, with Halo’s massive open-world causing the biggest problem in building a seamless multiplayer experience. Halo Infinite launched in November 2021 to both critical and commercial success, having enjoyed the largest launch in the franchise's 20-year history with over 20 million players at the time of release. However, a barrage of missing features and issues affecting the online multiplayer experience have since interrupted the game’s success, with Halo Infinite’s surprising lack of Campaign co-op and Forge becoming one of the fans’ biggest frustrations.
Campaign co-op was a staple in Halo games since the series’ first entry in 2001, but it was noticeably absent from Halo 5 Guardians, one of the most divisive installments in the franchise. 343 Industries originally promised that Halo Infinite would receive a more complete treatment, with the return of Campaign co-op and the eventual release of a split-screen mode on Xbox consoles. Fans also expected the reprisal of Forge mode, a multiplayer mode that debuted in Halo 3, which allowed fans to create and edit custom maps before sharing with friends and the wider Halo community online. Halo Infinite was void of all of these features, and consistent setbacks have delayed the launch of Halo Infinite’s Campaign co-op and Forge mode multiple times.
