However, this was not the end of the worried whispers, as a comment from Brad Sams indicated that Halo Infinite could be shipped without its multiplayer. 343 Industries Community Manager Brian Jarrard quickly stepped in to explain that this rumor was not true, responding to a Tweet (now deleted) about the rumor.
