Halo Infinite developer 343 Industries has made assurances that feedback from players is “being heard loud and clear”, primarily regarding complaints about the game's multiplayer progression system. Some changes have already been made, but there are more to come.
Further changes to progression and other issues raised by the community, might be some way off, however, as the studio takes a Thanksgiving break following a “long final stretch” to get Halo Infinite's free-to-play multiplayer component out of the door early.
“Please know the constructive feedback is being heard loud and clear,” 343 Community Director Brian Jarrard writes on Twitter. “Changes will take time and our priority this week is giving the team a much deserved break for the holiday after a long final stretch.”
The backlash surrounding Halo Infinite's multiplayer progression has only escalated following the launch of the limited-time ‘Fracture: Tenrai’ event, which features the samurai-style Yoroi armour core, accompanying armour pieces, colours, and more as unlockable rewards (as shown in the trailer below).
The event includes its own free 30-tier event pass, the slow progression through levels stoking player concerns that accessing items takes too long. The capping of challenges means that it's only possible complete a few tiers of the event pass, and some challenges are rather tricky, making progression even more difficult.
You'll have further chances to unlock the cosmetic items featured in the Fracture: Tenrai event during Season One, with its next appearance scheduled for January 2022. With changes potentially not on the way until the New Year, however, you might want to get cracking.
Halo Infinite Multiplayer is available for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, and you can read our thoughts here. Halo Infinite's campaign is set to launch on 8th December, although you'll have to wait until May 2022 at the earliest for campaign co-op and Forge mode.
