The evolution ofHalo Infiniteover the years has been extremely impressive. Upon launch,Halo Infinitewas missing series staple features such as Forge Mode, which led to a mixed reception to the game from fans. However, 343 Industries (now Halo Studios) remained committed toHalo Infinite, constantly adding to the game with new updates that would make it arguably one of the bestHalotitles on the market. In late 2024,Halo Infiniteeven added a third-person mode, showing that the franchise still has a few new tricks up its sleeve.
In a new post onSteam, Halo Studios confirmed that Operation: Brute Force is launching forHalo Infinite’s multiplayeron January 7. The post was extremely light on details, although it did confirm that Operation: Brute Force will come with two new multiplayer playlists as well as a free 20-tier Operation Pass to “round out the Winter Update.” This Operation is set to run from January 7 until February 4, with new customization options available as part of the Operation Pass. It did include some screenshots of some of the upcoming cosmetics, and frankly, they’re awesome.
