When all hope is gone and humanity's survival is in danger, the Master Chief is prepared to face the most merciless opponent he's ever encountered. Start the game and enter the armor of humanity's greatest hero for an epic quest that concludes in an exploration of the Halo ring's size.

Halo Infinite is an Xbox Game Studios and 343 Industries first-person shooter game set in the year 2021. Following Halo 5: Guardians, it is the sixth major entry in the Halo series and the third in the Reclaimer Saga.

On the Forerunner ringworld Zeta Halo, better known as Installation 07., the campaign follows the human supersoldier Master Chief and his war against the hostile Banished. The multiplayer part of the game is free to play, unlike prior entries in the franchise.

Halo Infinite, like previous Halo games, is a shooter with the majority of the action taking place from a first-person perspective. You may employ a variety of weapons and vehicles from the Halo franchise, including the Warthog.

Master Chief has numerous new abilities in the game, including the Grapple Shot, which allows him to pull himself towards opponents or grab things.

The Drop Wall, which pops a shield to stop incoming projectiles, and the Shield Core, which is a passive armor ability. You have the wrist-mounted Threat Sensor for tactical play, which analyzes and identifies nearby foes and crucial items.

The campaign mode of the game has a semi-open world structure, allowing you to freely explore sections of the setting, the ringworld Zeta Halo, that is divided off from one another and initially unreachable. Forward Operating Bases may be found scattered over the area and can be cleared of adversaries and seized.

Bases that have been captured are used as quick-travel locations. Other objects of interest on Zeta Halo's surface include high-value targets to eliminate, Marine troops to save, and Banished propaganda towers to demolish. Completing these side missions will reward you with Valor, which can be used to purchase new weapons and vehicles from Forward Operating Bases.

Within the ring's surface, there are also more linear areas that are more similar to classic Halo mission design. These dungeons develop the plot and can't be replayed once they're finished. Audio logs and other collectibles found in the environment give more plot elements.

Deathmatch, capture the flag, and other multiplayer modes are available in standard 4-versus-4 and Big Team Battle variations, with the latter increasing the number of matches from 16 to 24.

Ability pickups, which enable you to use a special power for a limited number of times, including dashing, active camouflage, and "repulsor" charges that push adversaries and projectiles back, are new to multiplayer.

For new players, Infinite features a variety of training options. You may train with weapons in weapon drills or play practice matches against computer-controlled bot players.

With a total of 10 multiplayer maps, Halo Infinite: Multiplayer was released with 9 maps for main game types and 1 map for Big Team Battles.
