After Playing both weekends 1 and weekend 2 flights I put a list of features that I think Halo Infinite needs to add back from previous games so here they are!
-
Training mode needs a scorecard to get see your overall progressOn Multiplayer modes like the social arena, bot arena, and BTB you can press the recent apps button to see your kills, assists, and deaths . However on training mode when you press that button nothing happens. I personally think that a scorecard like the multiplayer modes would be beneficial so you can see how well are you doing in your training.
-
Bring back EMP on the plasma pistolIn previous games, the plasma pistol once charged can be used as an EMP to stop vehicles and turrets in their tracks so you can gain the upper hand. Well, that has been taken away and given to the shock rifle and the electric grenade. Why take something that previous halo games had before and give it to a new weapon? Give back the EMP to the plasma pistol so it can be used as the good old Halo games before.

Give us an option to change the announcer in Big Team BattleOn both the social arena and bot arena we have Jeff Steitzer as the announcer for those game modes. In big team battle we have Spartan Agryna as our announcer. I don’t mind having a female announcer but an option to have either Jeff or Agryna would be nice to have.
-
Give us more music in the multiplayer menuThe Music in the multiplayer menu is legendary but what I figured is that it plays the same 3 tracks in a repeat. I’m not hating on the music like I said I love it but a little more music would be fine IMO.
-
Add back player collisionBeing able to hop on top of players is a very cool quirk in getting areas that might seem a bit tricky to get on foot. On every mode in the game, you just go through the player like a ghost.
-
Add back gravity hammer physics Just like the plasma pistol, the gravity hammer seems a bit off from previous halo games. In Infinite, players go a bit far when the gravity hammer is swung but objects in the game don’t have that momentum physics like in previous games.
-
Fragmentation map in academy mode On the first Halo Infinite flight, we got access to 2 new maps which are recharge and bazaar which are now played in training mode. Then on the first-weekend flight, we got the new map behemoth which also can be played on training mode. Fragmentation however isn’t available on training mode but only on BTB. It would be nice to explore the map yourself than to get possibly sniped while exploring.

Change Primary loading screen to something more interestingI appreciate 343 for adding a new static loading screen with useful tips but the loading screen before that is just a loading wheel. I personally think that a trivia screen or a mini-game to have me do something would be really cool like what DBZ BT3 has. Just a thought.
