Halo Infinite fans are calling for a classic feature to return, which last made an appearance in 2012's Halo 4. If added, this potential Halo Infinite addition could make pre-match lobbies more interesting once again.

It's been a rough ride since 2021's Halo Infinite launch, but at long last, it's safe to say the game is in a good place. 343 Industries has done a great job of addressing the common player complaints and fixing them via patches. It has even got the community involved, with fan-made Forge maps and playlists making their way into the game. Just recently, 343 Industries added a mode to Halo Infinite that has serious Call of Duty Zombies vibes, and that was completely made by dedicated fans. Because of these kinds of things, there's always hope that any fan request could make it into Halo Infinite.

Redditor MyChildWillIgnore started the conversation online, mentioning that they don't have the time to care about the armor other players are wearing in Halo Infinite's pre-match intros. Instead, they proposed a return to a feature last seen in Halo 4 (but also found in Reach), where pre-match lobbies would show the armor other Spartans had equipped. While it's a simple feature, it's one that most wouldn't even notice until it's gone. Given the customization in Halo Infinite is arguably a series-best, a feature that encourages players to show off their armor would definitely be welcomed by the community.

343, I don’t care what people are wearing in the game intro/ outro, if you want players to show off their armour+stance, bring this back

Others in the thread took the idea even further, mentioning that the MVP showcase at the end of matches from Halo 3 could be another way for players to show off their armor. It certainly does seem strange that in a game where a lot of the customization is based on purchasing in-game items, the ability to actually show them off to other players is worse than it was in games over a decade old. Every Halo game has its own form of customization, but this suggestion would definitely be a big improvement for Infinite​​​​​​.

It's set to be another big year for Halo Infinite. 343 Industries' updates to the game remain as frequent as ever, with Halo Infinite's Operation Tenrai 4 set to release on June 4. It's been awesome to see Halo Infinite evolve from its admittedly rough launch, and there's definitely still a lot of life left in it yet, so long as 343 Industries remains committed as it currently is.
