Halo Infinite’s multiplayer mode makes the grappling hook a pickup, 4-player split screen confirmed

07/24/2020 World


The Halo Infinite game’s debut at the Xbox event focused exclusively on showcasing the campaign, which features open-world elements and some new tools for Master Chief to play. Chief among them is the grappling hook, known as the grab shot, which has a huge impact on the game. However, while it’s included in Infinite’s multiplayer, it won’t be something you have access to at all times.

The briefest information on Infinite’s multiplayer component was shared as part of a 343 Industries blog post. Confirm that the new weapons and equipment (including both the grappleshot and Drop Wall, the deployable energy shield seen in the game demo) will be available in multiplayer mode. But to use them, you must first collect them on the map. It’s unclear if they’ll have a limited number of uses once you do, the screenshot works with a cooldown timer in the campaign, and it looks like we’ll have to wait for more information. 343 says that soon “we’ll be talking more about the multiplayer details.”

The split-screen four-player cooperative support for Halo Infinite is also confirmed. This is a feature first announced in 2018, but given the way things can change, there may be doubt as to whether the final cut would actually be made. Fortunately, 343 told GameSpot that it will be included with Halo Infinite. This is a reversal of Halo 5: Guardians, which cuts the split screen.

It is not clear how split screen will affect resolution or frame rate. 343 promises “almost instantaneous” load times, as well as 4K and 60 FPS support in the campaign, on Xbox Series X, but those figures can only be accurate when playing with a single person on the system. 343 also says it is “designing Halo Infinite to grow and evolve over time so that we can continue to bring experiences to our players well beyond launch.” Since the focus right now is on the campaign, this evolution engages that side of the game, with new stories being added over time. But it seems safe to assume that Infinite’s multiplayer mode will also be expanded with new content after launch.

Halo Infinite is an Xbox Series X launch game and will launch sometime this holiday. It will also launch on Xbox One and PC, with a Steam launch planned for the latter platform.
