This Week In Halo Infinite: Cyber Showdown, Economic Shakeup, And Goodbye Xbox 360 Servers

thegamer.com:

It looks like the devs over at 343 Industries are finally back from their holidays and have hit the ground running. They've revealed what the next multiplayer event will be, reshuffled the in-game market economy, put out some hotfixes, and even shut down Xbox 360 servers.

343 has been on a roll with Halo Infinite's multiplayer ever since it was shadow dropped. Yes, there have been some major progression and bug related issues, but they've managed to keep the content pretty fresh with new modes and events. The latest event coming to the game will be called Cyber Showdown and you'll be able to grab some neat hologram cosmetics for your Spartans.

The trailer for the event didn't reveal too much besides a confused Spartan getting shot in the back as they were distracted by an arcade machine. But we did get to see two of the cosmetics: a holo-mohawk and a holo-visor for your helmets.

Another issue reported by multiple players revolved around the matchmaking for Big Team Battle. The issue in question was a particularly tricky one, and while 343 tried to fix it before the holidays, it required a lot more work than they originally thought. However, as the holiday season wrapped up and the devs got back to work, they managed to find a breakthrough.

"As promised, back with a quick update on the status of Big Team Battle," said an update on the Halo Infinite blog. "Yesterday the test pass was completed and the hotfix is now in the process of going through Xbox certification. As long as no issues arise, we are targeting releasing this hotfix middle of next week."

Cat ears for your Spartan helmet? In this economy? That's one of the problems Halo Infinite players have had
