343 responds to non-replayable Halo Infinite campaign
Previous Halo games would let you replay missions after you’re done with them. There are all sorts of reasons why players do this, but the point is, you could do it - plain and simple. Unfortunately, with Halo Infinite, you’ll need to start a new save file to replay missions. According to a Microsoft spokesperson who spoke with Polygon, the main reason for this is the game’s open-world structure. Meanwhile, 343 Industries’ associate creative director Paul Crocker told The Verge that they are working on it. His statement pretty much says the same thing, explaining that things “get a lot thicker” when it comes to a “more open game”. However, he added that 343 “made a decision t improve the quality of the single-player campaign” and that they do plan on adding “the other features back in.” Unfortunately, neither statements confirm when 343 is going to make single-player campaign missions in Halo Infinite replayable. In a nutshell, 343 might have just made life in Halo Infinite more difficult for completionists. If you want to 100% the game, you might want to keep a guide handy to make sure that you don’t miss anything. Of course, there’s always the option to replay the game from the start, which isn’t exactly a bad idea - all things considered. Speaking of Halo Infinite’s campaign, 343 just released the game’s day one patch notes detailing all the issues that the studio is currently working on fixing.
What’s next for Halo Infinite?
Now that Halo Infinite is out, most audiences can finally see if the long wait was worth it or not. If it’s any consolation, the consensus from our review round-up suggests that Halo Infinite is 343’s best Halo game yet. But, the game is far from perfect nor complete. Halo Infinite’s multiplayer continues to struggle with hackers and cheaters, with 343’s efforts proving futile so far. In addition to addressing Halo Infinite’s rampant cheating problem, 343 still has to add the Forge mode and co-op campaign, both of which are expected to come much later.
