New Halo Infinite game mode is shooting for Counter-Strike style tactics
Halo Infinite is easily one of the best feeling shooters around right now. The locomotion and control on offer when running, sliding, and mantling across a multiplayer arena is unmatched, and the series' leading sandbox gameplay pairs so well with it that I'm constantly hoping it'll make a huge c...

Assault
Defend your base – Assault arrives in Halo Infinite! First introduced in Halo 2, this mode is the reverse of Capture the Flag.

Bomb Armed Assault comes in multiple flavors and the two being introduced with Operation: Frontlines are: One Bomb Neutral Bomb Some of you might be wondering… “What’s the difference?” ...

Castle Wars
When it was introduced to matchmaking in Halo 5, Castle Wars quickly became a fan favorite.
