During the Xbox’s 20th anniversary celebration, the iconic console manufacturers dropped a bombshell of a piece of news in the sudden release of Halo: Infinite’s multiplayer beta. Players can now join the battlefield and take part in another thrilling online experience of one of the greatest franchises of all time. After trying out the game for over a day, it’s fair to say that fans of the popular MMORPG title Destiny 2 are a bit jealous. For years, the community has asked for the developers to improve on the scale of its PvP maps. However, after playing the various maps present in Halo: Infinite, it seems like players want more from Bungie for Destiny 2 after the developers did that for years with the iconic Xbox franchise.

Following the release of the beta, fans have loved playing online on the latest title from 343 Industries [https://www.343industries.com/]. They can enjoy 4v4 modes and the fan-favorite Big Team Battles featuring 12 players per squad. Each map provides contrasting gameplay styles for the Spartans to try, making the game quite versatile from the get-go. However, the same can’t be said about the scale of maps in Destiny 2. Fans have long demanded with Bungie [https://www.bungie.net/] to tweak the current maps or showcase a major jump in scale with new maps. For almost two years, the developers haven’t released a new Crucible location. So, Guardians have had to stick with the old ones. However, they also haven’t reworked the ones it already has. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Destiny-2-Trials-of-Osiris.jpg] MORE VERTICALITY AND SIZE IS NECESSARY FOR CRUCIBLE MAPS Most Destiny 2 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/destiny-2/] maps feel perfect for the 4v4 mode as it was intended for. However, since then, the game has new 6v6 modes, which makes the map feel very crowded. In Halo: Infinite [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/halo-infinite/], the playlists have different maps for 4v4 and 12v12 modes, which work drastically differently. The two games have different DNA with Infinite containing power weapons, vehicles, and many more. However, players wouldn’t mind seeing an improvement in the scale and the verticality of the Destiny 2 PvP maps. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Halo-Infinite-4.jpg] In the end, Bungie’s two franchises have taken very different roads in terms of gameplay. While Halo: Infinite has taken the grandeur route with PvP, Bungie seems to have not done much to increase the playing area for Crucible moves. Hopefully, with the arrival of new expansions, the developers can work on something bigger for Guardians.

<h2>Destiny 2 2021: Gameplay, Forsaken, Beyond Light, and System Requirements</h2>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-542464" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210207051027/destiny-2-official-reveal-art_y6b3.jpg" alt="" width="1900" height="1068" />

Destiny 2 is an online multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie and originally published by Activision. However, at the end of 2018, the developer acquired the publishing rights for the franchise. The game is a sequel to the 2014 title Destiny and its subsequent expansions.
<h2>Destiny 2 Gameplay</h2>
The game is set in a mythic sci-fi world and presents a multiplayer environment with elements of role-playing games. The story is immersive. Players assume a Guardian's role, defenders of the Last City of humanity in a solar system under siege by infamous villains. They wield a power called Light to protect the city from different alien races while combating the Darkness's impending threat.

Players can choose their Guardian class from the armored Titan, mystic Warlock, or swift Hunter. They can also create their subclass and collect an amazing array of weapons, armor, and mods to personalize their combat style. Similar to its predecessor, Destiny 2 players can play with or against their friends and other Guardians in various PvE and PvP game modes.
<h4>Cooperative Multiplayer</h4>
This game mode presents exciting co-op adventures that award rare and powerful rewards. Players can dive into the story with missions, patrols, and quests. PvE also features "Strikes", which puts a together three-player fireteam and requires securing the chest at the end. Besides that, progressing with six-player raids is a good way to test a team's skill. Moreover, a free roam patrol mode is available, emphasizing the exploration of each planet and interactions with NPCs. Meanwhile, PvP features objective-based modes and traditional TDM modes.
<h4>Competitive multiplayer</h4>
Players are pit against others in fast-paced skirmishes, team arenas, and PvE and PvP hybrid competitions. Special competitions like Iron Banner provide limited-time rewards. Besides that, some of the best players in the world compete by entering the Trials of Osiris.

Destiny 2 features thousands of exotic weapons and armor, which provide millions of options. Players can discover new gear combinations and define their personal style.
<h2>Destiny 2 Forsaken &amp; Beyond Light</h2>
Like its predecessor, Destiny 2 features expansion packs that further develop the story while adding new content and missions. Bungle released a third major expansion for the game named Forsaken in September 2018, which overhauled the gameplay and marked the beginning of Year Two.

Meanwhile, Year Four kicked off with the fifth expansion, Beyond Light, which went live in November 2020. It gave players the power of Darkness, besides that of the Light. Beyond Light marked the beginning of a new era for the franchise, and it is the first among a trilogy of expansions. The year also introduced the most significant change to Destiny 2. The developers removed much of the game's content from the previous three years, comprising the least played areas, and placed them into the Destiny Content Vault. This vault also contains all content from the original game.
<h2>Destiny 2 Release Date</h2>
Bungie initially released Destiny 2 as a pay-to-play game in 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. However, it transitioned into a free-to-play game as part of its fourth expansion called New Light on October 1, 2019. The game released on Stadia in November 2019 and then on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in November 2020.

<h2>Halo Infinite 2021: Release Date, Multiplayer, Gameplay, and Price</h2>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-262911" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200506000837/Halo.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

Halo Infinite is the latest addition to the Halo franchise. Infinite is the fourteenth overall Halo title developed by 343 Studios and the sixth edition of the main Halo series.

The developers first revealed the game at E3 2018 with an initial trailer. The trailer carried forward the story from Halo 5: Guardians which will continue the story of the Master Chief.

Just like other Halo titles, Infinite will also be a Microsoft exclusive. Therefore, it will be available exclusively on Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and the new-gen Xbox Series S|X.
<h2>Halo Infinite budget and release date</h2>
343 Studio had initially announced the release date for the latest Halo title as November 2020. There are rumors that Infinite has put the biggest dent in 343 Studio's treasury by far as compared to all other Halo titles. The game allegedly cost the developers $500 million to make.

Initially, the game was to launch alongside the new-gen Xbox consoles. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the date had to be pushed indefinitely.

At E3 2021, Microsoft affirmed a Holiday 2021 release timeline for Halo Infinite. Complete with a single-player campaign and free multiplayer, the game will launch on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC.

During Xbox's 20th Anniversary celebrations on November 15, 2021, 343 pulled off a stunning move by releasing a beta version of the game's multiplayer mode to the public. The final release date for the game was confirmed as December 8, 2021.
<h2>Halo Infinite price</h2>
The disc version of the game for the Xbox Series X is listed on Amazon US for $59.99. The price for the Halo Infinite PC is also expected to be similar. Moreover, the game will also be a part of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The multiplayer co-op mode of the game will be available free of cost, but the campaign mode will be paid.
<h2>Halo Infinite download and gameplay</h2>
343 Studio revealed the initial gameplay footage of the game during the Showcase Xbox Series X July event. The campaign mode of the game has an open-world setting.

The open-world setting will work through a backtracking mechanism where players can unlock new areas as they progress. Once they have these areas, they will always have to explore as much of the map as they have unlocked.

The story of the game is a continuation of Halo 5: Guardians. While there is still a lot of ambiguity over Infinite's story, there are a few things that fans know.

Firstly, the story will take place on the Zeta Halo, which is one of the remaining Halo rings. More information from the E3 2019 trailer shows a stranded pelican pilot rescuing the Master Chief. These are the prominent characters of the storyline who discuss a past battle that destroyed one of the Halo Rings.

The battle was against the 'Banished Faction' that initially appeared in the spinoff Halo Wars 2. The Banished are most likely to be the antagonist of this story as well.

The local campaign co-op of Infinite in a two-player mode will once again feature a split-screen mode.

The developers had removed this popular mode in the previous game. However, they faced a lot of backlash due to this decision and have therefore decided to re-introduce the mode in the latest edition.
<h2>Halo Infinite multiplayer</h2>
During the Xbox &amp; Bethesda showcase at E3 2021, 343 Industries provided a deep dive into the game's PvP aspect with an elaborate multiplayer gameplay reveal. The most exciting revelation was perhaps that Halo Infinite's multiplayer will be free-to-play.

There will be two multiplayer modes including Arena and Big Team Battle. While the first mode will feature 4-player squads, the latter suits sandbox-style gameplay with more combat possibilities. Players will get to create and configure their own Spartan hero, thanks to the comprehensive customization system.

Armors, weapons, vehicles, everything will have a variety of customization options, but it will primarily aid the cosmetic appeal. Equipment is making a return with Halo Infinite, and the grappling hook is one such thing. The developers have added a new Razorback vehicle, which can mount larger pieces of equipment and weapons on its rear.

Besides, the free multiplayer mode will include a battle pass which will never expire once purchased. Cross-platform play and cross-progression will also be two other features that Halo Infinite will launch with. Microsoft has also confirmed that the game's multiplayer will support up to 120 FPS on Xbox Series X.
