I'll be doing a Heroic playthrough then attempt Legendary, then when co-op launches go through with a family member.

I can’t see the update either, guess it might be being rolled out?

Just tried queuing it up through the app, but it doesn't install anything new.

Given the open-world nature, I'm not surprised at this, but it will probably be unpopular with some people.

Halo Infinite doesn't let you replay campaign missions.

"The postgame does give you the option to keep exploring the wider environment..." Microsoft clarified.

"You'd be able to get any remaining [collectables] but the main story missions would not repeat."

"It's part of what is coming later," he continued. "The main reason is because, being a more open game and a nonlinear game, it became incredibly challenging. It's not that it doesn't work, it's just that it's not finished.

"We made the decision to make a better game, to improve the quality of the game so we could then add the features — just like co-op. And that is that is disappointing for us as the people who made it, but it was, also, the better option for us to make a better game and add that later."

While this writer's hunch is that level select will be added alongside campaign co-op, Crocker wasn't able to put a specific launch date to either feature.

Debating whether to start on Normal or Heroic, haven't they said that this is the first time that they've balanced it for Normal? I normally go with Heroic as I think the extra challenge brings out the best in the combat

Thinking of trying Normal first here. If it's too easy is there an option to increase the difficulty of the current playthrough or is that coming later? :shifty:

How long has this been delayed for now and the day one product still isn't actually finished? :lol: I don't get how they're still trying to figure out how to make basic gameplay functionality (co-op, level select, etc) work this late on in development. Surely that should have been one of the main things to work out once you'd made the "let's make it open world" decision... I dread to think how long it's going to be until the main game is "complete"

Gonna be pretty much impossible to avoid spoilers, too :x
