Playlist Overview | Great journey | Hello

Picture it… The year is 2004, Mountain Dew and Doritos are the de rigueur snacks, and the sequel to 2001’s hit game Halo: Combat Evolved is in your Xbox, ready to use.

Twenty years ago the gaming world was introduced to halo 2, and things were never the same. The multiplayer experience forged friendships, propelled online gaming into the mainstream, elevated MLG to another level, and was truly a catalyst for the early gaming and online eras.

With Operation: Great Journey coming on November 5th, we wanted to celebrate this iconic milestone by bringing Halo 2 celebrations for Halo infinite. Here are the playlists that will be available next week…

Delta Arena is a playlist meant to embody the spirit of the gameplay you experienced in 2004. Think of it as a modern take on the old settings you remember from the old days.

The Delta Arena modes will include:

You’ll be playing a mix of Slayer, Oddball, Capture the Flag and King of the Hill on some maps that will look very familiar:

It’s time to party like it’s 2024!

Hello has been a first-person shooter since its release in 2001 (aside from some gameplay elements of course like driving, operating turrets, etc.), but it previously explored third-person action during the MacWorld days. As a result, players have often dreamed what Hello would look from a different point of view. At long last, that dream is a reality with the introduction of Third-Person Firefight!

You will soon be able to see Halo infinite You know the firefight experience through a whole new lens. Battle for the hill on your favorite Firefight: King of the Hill map and mod combo, being able to admire how enemies look from afar (or around corners) while appreciating how stylish you is. It will be the first in Hello matchmaking history.

At launch, you’ll play Firefight: King of the Hill on Normal difficulty with Heroic and Legendary later. Here’s what’s coming at launch:

And the cards you want to play on:

You’ll also be able to explore and play with the third-person camera in custom games, and we can’t wait to see what you create with these options!

There are also some updates to the ranked experience with Operation: Great Journey in the form of two new map additions.

Fortress is a brand new symmetrical map design that plays CTF and all variants of Slayer (Tactical and Snipers included). Players can expect fast-paced action with thrilling moments delivered by dual sniper battles, Overshield and more. It’s a beautiful map with a unique aesthetic that will make players take a moment to enjoy the view.

Inquisitor is a remake of one of Hellos most iconic cards—Halo 2‘s Midship. You will be transported back in time as you load into what is an amazing recreation. This card is tried and true. Inquisitor also plays at high tempo in CTF and Slayer (Tactical and Snipers included). Be ready as soon as you spawn – the action is coming!
