Halo Infinite has announced that its upcoming installment will come with a ‘Squad Battle’ playlist for those wanting to revisit classic Halo maps. The playlist will feature Halo 3, Halo: Reach, and Halo 4 maps on rotation. Players will also be able to relive the nostalgia of fighting in classic iconic battlefields from all three of the classic Halo games.
The Team Objective and Slayer gametypes from all three games will also be included in the playlist, with maps from Halo 3, Reach, and 4 all being present.
In a statement regarding the ‘Squad Battle’ playlist, 343 Industries’ Community Director Brian Jarrard said: “We believe that much of the magic of classic Halo multiplayer lies in its iconic map sandbox layouts. In order to make sure we honor the legacy of all those classic places fans have come to love, we’ve decided to bring back many of these classic maps for Squad Battle.”
The ‘Squad Battle’ playlist will be the go-to for those looking to relive classic Halo maps, but with a twist. Each match will be four-versus-four, with the Halo Infinite version of the maps being played. 343 Industries has promised that these maps will have been ‘updated’ to reflect the “latest sandbox captivation technology and advanced gameplay physics” of Halo Infinite.
The upcoming Squad Battle playlist is sure to be a hit with Halo fans who have been around since the old days. It’s the perfect way to bring back nostalgia – playing classic maps with the latest Halo technology.
