Halo Infinite‘s brand new December update brings news that fans have been clamoring for since the release of Halo Infinite‘s Forge beta. Along with the update surrounding improved controls and in-game player reporting, Halo Infinite is finally getting a custom game browser.
Fans of the title were heavily disappointed at the lack of the custom game browser’s inclusion alongside the introduction of Forge just a month ago. Hopefully, this update surrounding the feature will help quell some of that worry as the custom game browser is set to be implemented into Halo Infinite today.
The custom game browser was not initially set to be released until Season three of Halo Infinite but in a Halo Waypoint update 343i were excited to announce that they would be “debuting the V1 of the Custom Game Browser today—months ahead of our original target!” They noted that they totally agreed with players that the custom game browser should have been a priority. 343 said, “it’s a key support structure for what players create in Forge and a pillar for the community.”
343i did stress however that due to this feature rolling out sooner than expected that players should note it is only a “V1” version of the custom game browser. They continued by saying “it is therefore likely to have some rough edges, but we felt it was more important that we get this in the hands of players sooner rather than later. The CGB will, of course, continue to evolve with support over time.”
This isn’t the only update however coming to Halo Infinite as the fan-favorite map, The Pit, from Halo 3 has also entered map rotation. The Pit, now known as Empyrean, is a reimagining of the original Pit map from Halo 3. Alongside this, all present Armor Cores have been made available to all players for free. So, if you wanted to use the Mark VII, Mark V [B], RAKSHASA, YOROI, and EAGLE STRIKE Armor Cores you now can for completely free.
All 10 Cadet Coatings have also been added to the game. This will include the non-default cores and also every future core. Finally, a number of quality-of-life improvements have been added to the game that can be viewed on the Halo Waypoint blog in full. This should hopefully add some much-needed life to Microsoft’s flagship title which struggled to capture audiences with its lack of content on day one.
