So 343 confirmed recently that when Halo infinites launches it will have no coop or forge but they are planning it on the roadmap so from it looks like Coop will be added in March 2022 3 months after launched and Forge in September 2022 6 months after launched.
*forge in June 2022, 6 months after launch, 3 months after co-op release.

Despite what they claim 343i are not always great with meeting targets so I’m kind of expecting forge to end up sometimes in July/August while coop might be 3 months if there pressured into it.

I could easily see release windows slipping all things considered.

Yep well it reminds me like with MCC seasons when they were predicted based on their previous seasons timing to be on season 10 before end of year and now we’re lucky if we can get season 8 then there’s the recent Halo Infinite news that makes it hard for me to believe they’ll keep to their plans. I’m mostly concerned that they might drop them altogether then make some excuse about it not being possible and this concerns me.

They don’t need to be pressured into completing anything. What’s going on is a lot of bugs and complications with how spawning and checkpoints work for 4 players. This isn’t a linear campaign anymore, this is simi-open world. So say you got one player trail blazing through underground tunnels. Then you got two trying to get out of the map and another trying to actually do mission. Is all four get into firefights at the same time. How is respawns gonna work? Do they spawn on host, a fix spawn, or somewhere safe? Same with checkpoints. 4 fire fights at different parts of the map. When do the checkpoints kick in? When all 4 firefights are over? What about that one friend who is always fighting something? Then you’ll never get a checkpoint. See this plus bugs. Halo isn’t like some broken tom Clancy open world. You can’t sell a halo campaign with broken elements an massive bugs. At least that’s what I see going on. And I’m pretty sure Microsoft already is giving them enough pressure to just release the game
This game will release on the 15th of November, 3 months after launch 15th of February co-op and May 15th Forge. That is their roadmap, and if each season brings something free with it. Then that will go a long way to help, the co-op fans and their tears.

Nobody is saying this is an ‘easy’ project. Seriously I get how the industry works and many people are doing their best but releasing an incomplete game can hurt both the game in the long term and 343i’s rep. 1st impressions for any game are very important since it can help or doom any game and they have to get it right if they want to push for a 10 year game plan.

It’s okay I have some friends you can borrow for Co Op
They specifically said Co-Op in Season 2 and Forge in Season 3. I would take those as hard dates of when they do new seasons so 3 months after launch and 6 months after launch.

They also said and promised that halo infinite would launch with co-op and split screen
so I’ll take a “wait and see” approach

Where was the promise made…I have been following Halo for 20 years and have never seen them specifically promise that Halo Infinite would launch with Co-Op…Split screen will be there on day 1 though. That is a fact just PvP split screen.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.polygon.com/platform/amp/2017/2/23/14715906/halo-split-screen-coming-back-halo-6-bonnie-ross-343-industriesarticle doesn’t mention including them on launch, but who the hell wants core features months later when the game dies down? Pretty backwards on 343s part.

I read the article…I dont see where the guaranteed Co-Op on Launch…It is part of the game…just not yet.

They’ve promised it several times due to the backlash they recieved from it not being in H5

I was going to post this too, got beat to it but yeah, they’ve stated a few times it’d be there at launch and as we can see now, they aren’t sticking to their words which I’ll be honest, not a shocker to me given their track record for missing features in previous games anyways. I was already expecting infinite to be missing stuff too, and im not looking to be wrong it seems.
I am still failing to see where it says that promised it at launch but ok. Quote the article directly.
