After a year long delay, Halo Infinite is finally set to release in a couple of months. Early signs from the game’s multiplayer betas are that it could be a big hit for Xbox and PC players alike. These multiplayer previews are a part of Halo Infinite’s insider program, which has been popular among Twitch streamers such as Dr Disrespect and TimTheTatman. It is through these streamers that Halo fans who have not been able to try out Infinite yet can get a glimpse of the next Halo project.

Many major streamers have been chiming in with their opinions as to the direction Halo Infinite should go from here, with some suggestions making headlines. The Halo franchise has struggled as of late when it comes to appealing to old Halo fans, so the opinions of streamers may provide good insight into how Halo may successfully do so in the future. While some streamer opinions on Halo Infinite are somewhat controversial among the fanbase, it seems as though many share a similar take on how Halo Infinite should proceed.

Will Halo Infinite Be Successful?

Halo fans have been waiting for a long time for the eventual release of Halo Infinite. The game was initially slated to be a launch title for the Xbox Series S and X, however, after its reveal, it was delayed to add a bit of polish. Fans have since seen the game in greater detail, and thoughts are that Halo Infinite’s delay was for the best in the long run. While recent Halo games have been guilty of changing up the formula too much, Halo Infinite feels like a traditional Halo game mixed with some of the innovations of the likes of Halo 5. It seems that Halo Infinite may strike the right balance for Halo fans new and old, and be a return to form for the classic Xbox series.

The return to Halo Infinite’s classic form has caught the eye of Twitch streamer Ninja, who has alluded to the possibility that he may be looking to go pro in Halo Infinite. This is big news, as Ninja has previously expressed a desire to step away from competitive games such as Apex Legends and Fortnite, so a possible return to competitive gaming with Halo Infinite bodes well for the game. While Halo Infinite’s balance of classic elements may appeal to Halo fans, other large streamers have some concerns over the longevity of Halo Infinite. Streamers such as Dr Disrespect and Nickmercs have suggested a way that Halo Infinite could maintain relevancy, though their suggestion has been somewhat controversial among fans.

Should Halo Infinite Get A Battle Royale Mode?

Dr Disrespect Wants Halo Infinite to Add Proximity Chat

Earlier in the year, Dr Disrespect shared his opinions on gameplay footage of Halo Infinite, with concerns that Halo Infinite didn’t do enough to change up the formula. He further stated that he had fears that what Halo Infinite brought to the table wouldn’t be enough. However, he finished off his rant by mentioning that a Halo Infinite battle royale mode would help to make the game appeal to a larger player base. Dr Disrespect later mentioned that Halo Infinite would have a 300 player battle royale mode claiming he was receiving “inside information”. Fans may want to take these claims with a grain of salt, however, as Dr Disrespect is notorious for his trolling antics.

While rumors around Halo Infinite’s battle royale mode are likely a case of Dr Disrespect trolling, this hasn’t stopped fans from chiming in with their opinions on the mode. Fellow streamer Nickmercs has said that Halo Infinite will fall in relevancy two weeks after its release without the implementation of a battle royale mode, pointing to the success of Warzone as an example. Nick is by no means the only streamer to back the idea of a Halo Infinite BR mode, though, as TimTheTatman has suggested that Halo has the perfect framework for a battle royale mode. The concept of a Halo battle royale mode is understandably controversial. However, it's likely that there would be a lot of demand, as is shown by the dialogue among popular streamers.

Halo Infinite launches on December 8 for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
