New multiplayer arenas for Halo Infinite appear to have a layout that suits CQC (close-quarters combat).

‘The Streets’ arena is asymmetrical and mainly favors short sightlines, which works for me because I’m a veritable noob in terms of first-person shooters! Part of why I’m so big into The Last of Us is because the stealth and level layouts encourage slower thoughtful movement punctuated by chunkier jolts of combat… Like potatoes and molasses.

The Streets are set in New Mombasa, a prominent location from Halo 3 ODST. We got neon lights, chonky tall buildings, basically a cyberpunk dystopia’s wet dream. There’s also some similar design choices to the Plaza map from Halo 5, another largely enclosed city space.

To see how this Halo map and others will look in gameplay, click here for a breakdown video on that. The game should be dropping December 8th, so alongside the recent IGN footage and commentary, we should see a few more informational tidbits drop before release. I wouldn’t put too much stock in their reviews though, I mean, let’s not mince words, the internet isn’t going to let go of that “too much water” comment easily. I mean, this is Ben Shapiro levels of anti-wetness discourse we’re talking about!

Time to do a franchise BREAKDOWN, BREAKDOWN: Halo has had its fair share of ups and downs as a franchise, with everything from mixed reactions to experimental extra modes (Halo 5’s Warzone matches) and questionable execution in some story campaigns (though if you’re in the mood for a surprisingly deep dive into its pros, have a looksie at Wisecrack’s video on the philosophy of Halo). The series main selling point is the fun-filled multiplayer, which I can attest to because I played Halo 2 in splitscreen multiplayer with and against my brother, which is to say, I got to experience the pros of the multiplayer experience while just chocking up stories of 9 year old edgelords spouting profanities and doxxing eachother to the realm of legend and unknowable fable… Thank God!

In terms of new spins on the formula, Halo Infinite’s ‘Grappleshot’ mechanic is cool, love me some spicy speedy hardcore parkour! Otherwise, I think this will in-part live and die on its campaign mode ironically enough, as first-person shooters isn’t exactly an unsaturated market, to put it mildly. For a more in-depth and HILARIOUS look at Halo’s story that I bet even some fans aren’t as aware of, have a butcher’s at Big Daddy Gilbert’s critique and review of EVERY HALO BOOK UNDER THE SUN, who I also touched on in my article on gaming YouTubers.

As you Halo fans already know it is just a few more days to go until Halo 5’s biggest – ever Warzone Firefight expansion launches on June 29 and 343 has now shared loads more new information about it.

The pictures which have leaked has given players a great insight of what the new maps are going to be like, also a rough scale of how large the maps are really going to be like. 343 has been giving weekly updates with stuff such as insights from the developers point of views and one major thing they have recently updated us about is the new game mode Warzone Firefight and how it has changed since the beta in April.

First thing 343 did was go over the fan feedback from the beta they released not so long ago, 343 have taken measures to make sure players objective are clear. “We added a brand new splash feed that shows up at the beginning of each round. It shouts, loud and clear, the round number and what you need to do to succeed. It’s front and centre and literally comes in with a ‘splash’” 343 said.

They also announced that the mini scoreboard in the bottom-right of the screen now shows your team’s progress towards current objectives. Before this scoreboard only showed your personal score.

“Depending on the goal, the scoreboard will look and act different in order to inform your squad as to how the round is shaping out,” 343 said. “For instance, if the goal is to eliminate 100 Grunts, a red bar will fill from right to left as your team takes each one out. Or if, for example, your team needs to defend the Armoury, a blue bar will slowly shrink from left to right as the enemy AI captures the base.”

343 also confirmed there will be six maps, one of which is new, for Warzone Firefight. The beta only had one. These include:
• Escape from A.R.C.
• March on Stormbreak
• Raid on Apex 7
• Skirmish at Darkstar
• Urban
• Attack on Sanctum (new)
