You can finally play the campaign together again
The campaign co-op network test forHalo Infiniteis right around the corner. 343 Industries confirms today that a test period for online campaign co-op inHalo Infinitewill run from July 11 through 22.
Previously announced asarriving this month, 343 confirms the test will run for that period of time for Insiders. There’s another feature on the way, too.
In aHalo Waypoint blog, the studio also confirms Mission Replay will arrive alongside the network campaign co-op update. This will let players replay old missions right from the Tac-Map.Halo Infinitelead world designer John Mulkey cites the open nature ofInfinitecausing problems for this initially, but the update will let Solo or Co-Op players select any completed mission, alongside difficulty and Skulls. Spartan Cores will also carry over.
If you want to participate in the flighting, you’ll need to head over and. Otherwise, you’ll just need to make sure you ownHalo Infinite(or have an active Game Pass sub), and have the Xbox Insider app downloaded if you’re on Xbox. Steam players will get a unique key via the Halo Insider team. Crossplay is supported, too.
Ain’t no party like a party full of Master Chiefs
TheHalo Infinitealso answers a few more burning questions about the network campaign co-op test, like what each player will look like. In previousHalogames, co-op had different players appear as different Spartans, or even Covenant Elites. In others, you are all Master Chiefs or Arbiters. Mulkey says that inHalo Infinite, everyone is Chief while playing Campaign Co-Op.
Part of the flight program means that players will need to start from scratch, though. You won’t be able to carry save data from a regular version ofHalo Infiniteinto or out of the test. All progress in the campaign will carry over though, so you can keep all of it intact. There is also an Area-Of-Operations limit, so players can split up and tackle missions from different angles, but not necessarily run to opposite ends of the Zeta Halo.
Campaign co-op has beena long sought-after featureforHalo Infinitesince its launch last year, so to see it finally start to roll out is nice. Finally, we’ll get to see what four Master Chiefs grappling and blasting across the open-world can look like. The flight starts on July 11.
