A new Halo Infinite update has some dividing news for Xbox fans. After a promising start, it’s fair to say 343 Industries has botched yet another Halo game. At release, Halo Infinite had lots of buzz around it, and rightfully so as it was an improvement compared to previous 343 Industries outings. However, it was also missing content that took far too long to add and the post-launch support of the multiplayer has been amateurish compared to its competition in the live-service space. The multiplayer itself is great, it’s just not been supported the way it needs to be. that said, the man who played a huge part in designing the game’s multiplayer is leaving the studio, which, at this point, is having trouble retaining talent. That’s right, today Tom French announced – via Twitter – he’s left 343 Industries.

After over 11 1/2 years on Halo, I step out of my Spartan armor for the last time today to head off to new adventures. It’s been a massive honor to have been part of a game I loved so much as a player and admired so much as a developer. I couldn’t be more proud of my time at 343. pic.twitter.com/2CBD7kOPIj
