Halo Infinite celebrates Halo 2 anniversary with classic maps and gameplay update

Halo Infinite has launched a nostalgia event featuring seven classic maps from Halo 2, celebrating the game's 20th anniversary. The update includes a playlist with 2004 gameplay rules and introduces the MA5K Avenger, a new rapid-fire weapon. This event marks a shift from recent updates, which focused mainly on cosmetics and community-made maps. The new Delta Arena playlist disables sprinting and clambering, creating a slower, more strategic gameplay experience reminiscent of earlier Halo titles. The update will run for at least a month, after which the Halo 2 maps are expected to be added to the standard map rotation. However, the MA5K Avenger has received mixed reviews for its design and lack of customization options.
