Im here to clarify this, no, all assets are in the game in both MP and Campaign as they share the same file.
All the assets can be used in campaign with some modding and the animations play just fine with the rig of all cores.
Do not spread misinformation, thank you.
As soon as I heard the “reason” for multiple Chiefs in co-op I knew it was some lame cover story. It just feels artificial and cheap.
There is no way that the campaign and MP are not in the same code base.
Zero.
They would have had to duplicate everything then not just spartan cosmetics. They’d have to fix bugs in two places, QA everything twice, etc.
To summarize to get mp Spartans it would take longer and 343 needs to get this out
Scorpion gun’s back. Pelican flying and fusion coil launchers are gone (I’d argue that those two were more actual glitches rather than an easter egg like the tank gun)
since all assets are there, then most probably 343i is going to wait until some modders do it for them.
They already kinda have -

How does it make more sense narratively for Chief to have 3 clones who all have the same name and serial number with no-one in game finding that slightly unusual than to just say that Chief managed to link up with 3 more survivors from Infinity?
The official reason must be nonsense but the fact that modders very quickly managed to have multiplayer Spartans within campaign shows it is possible technically.
I just wish 343 would be straight with us and give us the real reason but they seem to be very good at laying the blame at things which can be demonstrated as not being true.
You would think they’d want you to be able to play with your spartan.
If I don’t play MP I have no reason to go to the shop. Let me customize my campaign spartan and maybe I’ll start looking.
They never said we’d have pvp spartans in co-op, People just overhyped. Just saying
thats why shared maps are a thing, also same game/engine.
This is a good way of convincing 343 to do it. If we tell them there’s $$$ to be made then maybe we’ll get it. It’s apparent that $$$ is the only way we’re gonna get any genuine care put into an aspect of this game.
They proved that at launch where everything was busted but the store. After 5 I had some faith in 343 to continue improvement since 5 was so much better than 4. But after Infinite it’s apparent that this game won’t be finished for another couple years and any fun genuine addition will have to be driven by money
Would be kind hard to identify who is who unless you look at the gamertag. MP Spartans should be part of CO-OP. Enough of the clones.
No, see, they had to replace Chief’s model. It isn’t as simple as you think.
I don’t believe anyone here has claimed that.
The point is 343 said so much before launch about customisation and how fantastic it was going to be and largely players haven’t been that impressed. Likewise the game was delayed a year and still didn’t feature co-op, a huge part of the Halo experience. That’s not to mention all the many other issues with the game from micro-transaction prices, desync, lack of new content, twitch drops not working, preorder items not arriving, apparently accidental racism etc etc.
343 had an opportunity to put in a little extra work (work modders achieved in a few weeks), to go above and beyond for their player base and chose not to, ok that’s their choice, but then the reason they gave for that choice just doesn’t seem plausible.
343 have destroyed any goodwill they had with much of the player base, right now they should be thinking how can we generate some goodwill? How can we get players back on side? They’ve had two opportunities here:
Do a little extra for players
Be open and honest when communicating with players
Here, once again, they’ve seemingly done neither of those things, so no this isn’t about 343 not doing something they said, it’s about when 343 could do something nice for players but choose not to then don’t seem genuine about the reason.
The reason why Reach could be done at the time with multiplayer armor in both Campaign and Multiplayer is because Bungie never did Armor Cosmetic DLC (only DLC Map Packs) and everything that came on the armor section of the menu was already all on the Xbox 360 Disc so they never went beyond the amount of armor you could unlock since launch of Reach on the 360. Thats why we never got Armor DLC support for campaign for Halo 4 or Halo 5 as well because those games brought in new armor cosmetics constantly through updates. I extremely doubt they are going to be doing this for Campaign as well if 343 never did support this for Campaign in past Halo games, would be a cool addition but I really am not fussed about any of this if they put it in or not. They literally probably would have to go the Reach route and launch with a specific amount of armor unlocks and thats it to do the multiplayer armor in Infinite’s campaign.
They never said it true but if they are going to cut playable elites for “story reasons” and say all this crap about how your spartan has a story
You bet people are going to be annoyed that we’re playing as clones again especially when you can see videos of modders doing it
This is somewhat false as grd was a planned helmet to be included in a dlc but got scrapped heck its a major reason why grd was so requested for reach mcc despite it being imo freaking ugly
Because for Reach, it was implemented from the start. Halo Infinite will be adding additional armor & cosmetics for the multiplayer which would require them to add that into the campaign. Bungie also didn’t add any additional armor or cosmetics.
They might have had to cut it for that very reason is because they probably had trouble at the time to put in new armor in the campaign until MCC got it working. So to be quite honest, we probably will once again, not get multiplayer armor in the campaign.
