About Halo Infinite
Now, let’s find out about Halo Infinite according to Wikipedia. Halo Infinite is an FPS game and it is developed by 343 Industries and published by Xbox Game Studios. If you follow this game from the beginning, you surely know that Halo Infinite is the sixth mainline entry in the Halo series. Halo Infinite is also the third in the Reclaimer Saga following Halo 5: Guardians.
At first, the plan was that Halo Infinite was to be released as a launch game with the Xbox Series X/S on November 10th, 2020. However, then it was delayed in August 2020. After the release of open beta of the multiplayer component on November 15th, the campaign was released for some platforms including Windows, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One on December 8th, 2021.
How about the gameplay of this game? Same as past Halo games, in Halo Infinite, most gameplay takes place from a first-person perspective. In this game, a number of weapons and vehicles which are commonly found in the Halo series are used by players, such as the Warthog. In the game, there are also some new abilities for player character Master Chief such as the Grapple Shot where it enables him to be able to pull himself towards foes or retrieve items.
In the campaign mode, there is a semi-open world structure. Besides, players are also able to freely explore parts of the setting, the ringworld Zeta Halo, which are segmented off from each other and initially impassable. Forward Operating Bases are scattered throughout the environment where these can be cleared of enemies and captured.
In the Halo Infinite, there is also a multiplayer component, with deathmatch, capture the flag, and other modes available in standard 4-versus-4 and Big Team Battle variants. There are also ability pickups which are new to multiplayer where it permits a player to activate a special power a limited number of times, such as active camouflage, dashing, and repulsor charges that are able to knock enemies and projectiles back. Not only that, in Halo Infinite, there is a set of training modes for new players. As a player, you are able to try out weapons in weapon drills, or you are able to play against computer-controlled bot players in practice matches.
Even though this game was just released in late 2021, but this game has achieved a number of awards such as The Game Awards 2021 for Player’s Voice in 2021, 25th Annual D.I.C.E Awards for Action Game of the Year in 2022, NAVGTR Awards for Outstanding Game, Franchise Action and some other awards.
The Reasons Why The Number of Halo Infinite Drops
You may have heard that the number of Halo Infinite players drops and now you may wonder how it can happen. As explained on the Gamerant site, this game started with a very strong start on Steam when it launched late last year. In November 2021, this game reached the peak number of players where there were 256,619 players. However, in recent months, as you are able to see from the explanation earlier that this game can only reach thousands of players.
Since the number of the players has decreased, there is a question about why it can happen. According to the Gamerant site, the decrease of player number in Halo Infinite may happen because the fans are fed up with how 343 Industries is handling the development of content for the game. On that site, it is also explained that fans have seen that the developer has taken a long time to fix some of the glaring technical issues of the game. Some fans are also disappointed with the lack of content that the game has received since launch.
So, how is the response of the Halo Infinite developer? The developer said that the studio had a lot of difficulties during the development of new content for the game and the company is not happy with not being able to meet player and community expectations.
