Four new playlists will be released on Tuesday 14/12/2021.
Four new playlists are coming to Halo Infinite from 343 Industries on Tuesday, December 14, 2021. “Playlists for Slayer, Fiesta, FFA, and Tactical Slayer (SWAT) will all be added in a service update,” said a member of the 343 Industries communications team. “
Ok simple, quite obviously in response to player requests for a way to play the very iconic Halo mod. 343 stated last week that the delay in Slayer for Infinite was due to bigger plans for the playlist with new variants. “To address player feedback for Slayer in the near term, we will release a baseline Slayer offering to start with and will try to supplement and expand it with more variants in a future update,” said ske343ch, a 7 employee on Reddit.
A more complex Slayer playlist will follow after the team takes a vacation break. The update on the 14th will include adjustments to difficulties, especially removing some “particularly annoying mod-specific ones” and adding brand new challenges for new playlists. There will also be a challenge category to collect player points.
The community around Halo Infinite has, in the words of Natalie Clayton, "gone wild" in the gap between the multiplayer beta and the release of Singleplayer. Last weekend, the subreddit got so toxic that mods locked it up as players waged flame wars over difficulties, gameplay, and whether or not what game modes were available at any given time.
