In the six months of Halo Infinite's lifespan, the multiplayer side of the game has seen 3 seasons come and go. With the latest, season 4 release, fans are eagerly waiting fundamental features of a multiplayer Halo experience. The key word here is "fundamental."

Important Updates (HaloWaypoint)

• Halo Infinite’s take on the fan-favorite mode Infection arrives with Season 4 on June 20

• Beginning with Season 4, all new premium coatings (Premium Battle Pass and Shop) will include individual versions compatible with all armor cores.

• Career Rank is also coming to Halo Infinite on June 20, giving players an all-new progression system with military-style ranks

• 343’s official Forge remake of the Halo 5 map “Plaza” is targeted to be released early in Season 4

• Attendees of the upcoming HCS Dreamhack Dallas event will get a chance to go hands-on with new Season 4 content

• Halo Infinite’s first Bonus XP Weekend will take place over June 2-4

The biggest update finally provides a fundamental, online multiplayer standard, leveling up. Previously, in the past seasons, there was no form of progression outside of the Battle Pass. Now, presumably like Halo MCC, players can level up their rank by completing matches, scoring points, getting kills and just completing a match.

Another staple game mode now returns to Halo with Infection mode. Many fans were displeased on release of Halo Infinite's multiplayer when Infection was nowhere to be found. 343 Industries were quick to nullify our outcry with the promise of its return. This mode, along with Forge, were likely not on launch due to the poor management 343 has been under for years now (context). This also brings us to the unfortunate conclusion of the supposed cancelled Halo Infinite campaign DLC. (context).
