Despite mountains of praise for Halo Infinite’s campaign and multiplayer, several iconic modes have yet to make an appearance. Namely co-op and forge — both of which aren’t coming until Season 3. Fans were supposed to get more information about those modes by January, but unfortunately, that never happened.
On Tuesday, Joseph Staten, head of creative at 343 Industries, took the time to acknowledge that the studio couldn’t deliver the news fans wanted and likely won’t for a while.
“Hey folks. In November, I said we’d have a [Halo Infinite] update on our Seasonal roadmap, Co-Op, and Forge in January,” Staten said on Twitter. “We need more time to finalize our plans so what we share is something you can rely on. This work is my top priority, and we’ll have an update as soon as we can.”

It’s a shame for sure. However, with how monumentally successful Halo Infinite is, there’s no doubt that 343 Industries will deliver the goods sooner or later.
For anyone impatient, though, there is an unofficial means to play Halo Infinite in co-op. Keep in mind that it takes advantage of a glitch that could totally corrupt your save files. So there’s unnecessary risk involved.
