One of the new mechanics being brought to the table isthe inclusion of a grappling hook. This excited numerous fans, but also raised questions about how the grappling hook would function in multiplayer. Now, thanks to a recent post on Halo Waypoint, it has been confirmed that the grappling hook will be featured in multiplayer, but not in the way fans might have expected.
InHalo Reach, one of the new features that were added was different ability attachments that players could pick up, such as a jet-pack ability or the sprinting ability. InHalo Infinite’smultiplayer, the grappling hook works essentially the same way, only the grappling hook will be hidden somewhere in the map for players to find. This should giveHalo Infinite’smultiplayer an additional competitive element.
Within the last week, 343 Industries have givenHalofans a lot to look forward to and consider. Though, for how much information theHalocommunity knows about the game, there’s still tons of information that remains to be seen. Holiday 2020 is right around the corner and fans still don’t know when this game will be coming out, let alone how the multiplayer itself will function. Although, there have beenrumors thatHalo Infinitemultiplayer footage will be revealed in August.
In any case, from what has been shown, this game looks to be a lot of fun. Withsemi-open world mission types, plenty of weapon variance, and numerous returning elements from previousHalogames,Halo Infiniteseems to be a very promising upcoming title. Only time will tell if Microsoft and 343 Industries can finally deliver after two long years of waiting.
Halo Infiniteis set to launch in Holiday of 2020 for the Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
