Halo Infinite’s training mode looks amazing

This weekend, some lucky Halo fans will experience the Halo Infinite beta test. That test will include limited matchmaking opportunities but unlimited access to the exciting new Training mode.

To help players old and new alike learn the basics of Halo Infinite, developer 343 Industries includes an Academy mode. This mode is divided into three parts: a tutorial (to introduce you to the basics and lore of Halo), weapon tutorials (to help you learn about the different weapons), and the training mode (which allows you to master multiplayer by changing settings and fighting robots).

The ambitious training mode only grew during the development of Halo Infinite. In a September Halo Waypoint update, the team describes the evolution of this new mode. “Training Mode began as a 1v1 Bot experience to allow players to warm up with more items from the Halo sandbox on our maps. From there it has grown to provide a broader literal sandbox in which players can experiment with their loadouts and a variety of bot / player options, “according to developer David Ellis.

“Want to practice your sniper shots on Behemoth with unlimited ammo, zero risk of dying, so switch to the Shock Rifle and add Bot teammates without reloading the map, playing matchmaking, or delving into custom games? the training mode.

This mode opens up exciting ways to learn more about the multiplayer gameplay, multiplayer maps and dizzying array of weapons in the game. And interestingly, it looks like this mode may evolve further after the game’s launch. “We discussed ways we could give players more control over the difficulty of the bots they fight in Training Mode than what we are currently offering for launch,” said developer Sara Stern.

“We’d like players to be able to turn off certain behaviors (like throwing grenades) they didn’t necessarily want to deal with, or combine aspects of different difficulty levels to create a Bot experience that better suits their needs than our levels of skill. predefined difficulties “.

According to the developers, we may also see future intersections between the training mode and the game’s multiplayer gameplay. In the meantime, players participating in the beta can check out Training Mode this weekend!
