Could someone, anyone please explain to me what this is? I’m hearing it all over the place but I haven’t found a solid explanation to what it does. Does anyone know what it is? Has 343 told us yet?

I’ll PM you. Not really supposed to talk about the “leak” until its ok.
Infinity is a 3km ship containing our new Forge World and Multiplayer.
> Infinity is our new <mark>Forge World</mark> and Multiplayer.
Where did you get that from that would be awesome!
Honestly, I don’t know, but here’s what I do know:
Standard Matchmaking will fictionally consist of Spartan-IVs fighting each other in VR/simulation environments. These battles will actually happen, in the story, onboard a ship called UNSC Infinity.
Now, you’ll be able to take this Spartan-IV of yours and use him in Spartan Ops: these are co-op missions with their own storyline and an accompanying CG cutscene explaining them. They will be released 5 at a time, once a week.
All your actions in both matchmaking and Spartan Ops contribute to what you can access, from weapons to grenades to modifications to Armour Ability to cosmetic armour. I think Infinity is the umbrella term for Spartan Ops and multiplayer together contributing to your own custom-made Spartan-IV, similar to your very own Noble Six in Reach.
My understanding is that Halo infinity is now the overarching name for all halo gametypes with the exception of campaign. It will house all matchmaking and Spartan ops. The term comes from the name of a ship detailed in glasslands. It is a ship with Spartan 4’s training and other technology. Correct me if I am missing anything.

Infinity is a spartan training ship that serves as our multiplayer. It is capable of creating holographic representations of any battlefield
Frankie’s description on GAF:
"Infinity contains every aspect of MP, except campaign co-op.
Instead of seeing
Campiagn
Multiplayer
You will see:
Campaign
Infinity
With new and traditional modes under that umbrella. Infinity will have zero effect on the scale, size, content or appearance of MP spaces."
I read the whole GI article. The Forge part was more of a hint than actually stated.
(Quotes from the GI Halo 4 article)
If “the Infinity’s combat deck can replicate any known environment to allow the Spartans to test their mettle”, then that suggests that The Infinity will be Halo 4’s Forge World, that can “replicate any known environment”, which is every forgers wildest dream.
The Infinity is also stated to be about 3 kilometers long, which is bigger than Forge World.
NOTE: It’s not a leak any more. People already have copies of the new GI.

I know, but did they say that forge would use the simulation stuff?

The UNSC INFINITY is a ship, it was introduced in the Novel “HALO GLASSLANDS” and will be in Halo 4 as the Multiplayer component, it serves as apart of the story and multiplayer.It will house the Spartan IV’s in which players will control, augment, and customize to his or her liking. SPARTAN Ops will be a feature from here Im sure and it will be like a war room in which you choose your mission.There will be No Elites in multiplayer (they’ll be in campaign as rouge covenant) anymore unfortunately.

Not technically, but what’s the point in having a holodeck if you can’t use it?
It’s basically a new feature that ruins the cannon for multiplayer maps.

Tartan and CFTiger have got it right, however there is no word that Infinity will house the new Forgeworld, because we do not have confirmation or word of a new Forgeworld.
Forge will exist, and apparently the news will “not be sad”. But that’s all we know, as for now Infinity is the umbrella term for Multiplayer and Spartan ops.
However it can be assumed that it will be involved with Forge since all MP spaces will be involved with Infinity.
[Halo]=Halo [Infinity]=Infinity ward
Yes,they are collaborating.

Infinity is a new menu option that encompasses all of Halo 4’s muliplayer aspects. Named after the UNSC Infinity, a new ship, it will be a menu option that leads to the muliplayer aspect of the game. As an example, the new menu might look something like this:
Campaign:
-Single Player
-Co-Op
Infinity:
-Matchmaking
-Custom Games
-Spartan Ops
-Forge
Theater
This isn’t the offical set up, but it’s close to how things will likely be in the final game (based on what I’ve read).

I can do it, too.
It’s the reason why there are no elites in Halo 4 sice everyone seemed to have just skimmed over that.
