Game news Halo Infinite: the next two dated technical tests, an iconic mode on the program
Announced in 2018 and recently dated, Halo Infinite is expected to be released on PC, Xbox Series and Xbox One on December 08. In order to release their title in the best possible conditions, the 343 Industries teams submit it to various technical tests in which the community takes part. And two tests are expected soon.
Each month, the developers of Halo Infinite take stock of the various works carried out on the game. On the occasion of the September post, 343 Industries therefore returned to the BTB, or Big Team Battle. In Halo Infinite, it will no longer be two teams of eight players who will compete against each other but two teams of twelve players who will exchange courtesies on the battlefield, through death matches, flag captures and new objectives teased by the studio.
Big Team Battle will be available in preview to the luckiest members of Halo Insider, a program allowing them to participate in technical tests organized by the studio. Two are scheduled for the next two weekends. Technical tests whose existence is justified by 343 Industries:
The main objective of these two technical tests is to test our servers on a larger scale. Attending these sessions helps us prepare our services before launch. We will also expand our audiences by the second test, just to push the server limit even further.
In addition, the studio also specifies that these technical tests are intended to bring up bugs by the players. As mentioned previously, there will therefore be two different technical tests. The first will take place between September 23 and 26 and will focus on the 4v4 experience. The second, scheduled between September 30 and October 3, focuses on the BTB mode mentioned above.
