In a new Development Update video, 343 Industries announced that Halo: Infinite will launch without Campaign Co-Op or Forge. Not only that, but the PC version will not support splitscreen.
As the game’s creative director Joseph Staten said:
“Unfortunately, as we focused the team for a quality experience for launch, we made the really tough decision to delay shipping campaign co-op for launch, and we made the tough decision for delaying Forge past launch as well.”
343 Industries plans to add Campaign Co-Op in Season 2, and Forge in Season 3.
It’s also worth noting that the team acknowledged the underwhelming PC performance of the technical build. These optimization issues we’ve reported were mainly due to a misconfiguration in the .exe file. 343 Industries stated that by simply fixing that issue, the game saw a 20% performance boost.
Lastly, there is still no exact release date. Microsoft and 343 Industries still claim that the game will release in Holiday 2021.
Stay tuned for more!

They don’t even have the balls to call it “early access” smh.
Coooonsumers will consume though and they know it.
people whine that boomer shooters release in early access but at leas they got some campaign levels for you to play.
KEK 343 REACHed a new level of pathetic…what a joke of studio
It’s high time that Microsoft started mass firings at 343 Industries. It’s long overdue.
I expect the Microsoft-sponsored Digital Foundry will likely seek to defend them again.
Sitting in your moms basement doing nothing other than playing games do not make you an expert.
Start with this “thing” https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6a8b62a936d0f3e0e4203966553c2b5d53f1af5c1e070d861970c0a62d974f28.png
Phil’s more interested in virtue signalling these days to care about 1st party titles.
So they launching halo without one of the most important thing that made halo HALO, how lower can they get ?
A 343 “Halo” game without splitscreen (at launch) – history repeats itself.
As long the multiplayer is fun… I dont care about coop and I do not like the single player of Halo games. The tech preview was fun to play so I’m looking forward to it!
“20% performance boost”
I saw people with legit 3080s getting not perfect performance. 20% isn’t gonna cut it by a long shot.
And the visuals don’t justify that performance, wtf are they doing is beyond me.

This game is going to be a mess when it launches. It is going to be a constant work in progress. I hope Halo fans are prepared to accept this and deal with it.
LMAO what a fail and that’s after 69 delays.
sooooo are we gona play in the luncher or in the main menu ?
i take back what i said about scam citizen …. this is just … sad ….
They announced this thing in 2018…you would think they had time to release a complete game.
At this point, they might as well launch the soundtrack only.
I can’t find one single fvck to give! And I looked everywhere!
Btw who play in splitscreen on pc?? Splitscreen in 2021 it’s useless af.
