Halo Infinite’s Joe Staten Entertains The Idea Adding Classic Maps To The Game

More than half a year later, many fans are conflicted with the state Halo Infinite has released in. While the gameplay is tight and responsive alongside the story campaign fulfilling many desires when tackling an open-world experience, the multiplayer is a different story. Much of the content anticipated is too spaced out with the latest Season 2 – Lone Wolves offering two maps and the periodic Fracture: Entrenched events every now and then.

Atop of that, interactive content such as Forge Mode, campaign co-op, and mission select is absent from the base game. Although campaign co-op & mission select was recently added to the latest Halo Infinite flight which invites sent out this Friday, it is still in a testing state. The full release for these features has yet to be shared as of yet.

Well in a previous interview on the Kinda Funny Xcast, Head of Creative Joe Staten did entertain on the idea for using classic maps whilst the new content is slowly churning out. You can view the segment of the podcast in the video below:

“That’s a good idea,” Staten responds to the question. “All kidding aside, I can talk about somethings and I can’t talk about that, right, like there are some great Halo maps. I think we all have our personal favorite: Guardian, Gulch, Pit, like there are a lot of maps that are awesome, right. I think it’d be awesome to play on those maps again , don’t you guys? That sounds like a fun thing […] I’ll mark that in my little notebook.”

Of course, content is a priority at 343 Industries best explained by Staten. In a previous community livestream, he already acknowledged the criticism the game faces and responded that quality of life is a priority followed by content. Elsewhere, surfacing rumors mention ‘Project Tatanka’ helmed by Certain Affinity is on the way which could greatly take influence from prior games if its map takes inspiration similar to call of Duty’s Warzone.
