A major new update is dropping feet-first into Halo Infinite this coming Tuesday, March 19, delivering on some of the biggest requests from the community.

A completely overhauled networking model will be coming to Halo Infinite in a matter of days. After launch, the feedback around the game’s online experience was loud and clear: desync, being shot around corners, etc. While numerous updates were released to the previous model, they were not having the impact that players expected and deserved. Recognizing this, the team decided to shift gears and pursue a fundamental change to the underlying networking model. Since then, the team has been heads down to make it happen.

Last December, a first look at it was shared when it launched in Firefight: King of the Hill and was featured in the Combat Workshop. It received a positive response from the community online, in surveys, and on Halo Support—but it still needed some extra polish before it could roll out on a wider scale. Now that it has been given that extra time, the team is confident that this updated model will result in a better and more consistent multiplayer experience.

Next week, Easy Anti-Cheat will arrive in Halo Infinite! Easy Anti-Cheat is a tool that monitors players’ game files while they’re playing Halo Infinite to ensure the integrity of each match and combat cheating. With the March Update, detection and enforcement capabilities will be enhanced, greatly improving the game’s overall security and the ability to respond to cheaters. If players encounter cheating, they can use the in-game reporting feature or head over to Halo Support to submit a ticket at aka.ms/HaloReportAPlayer.

Since its debut in Halo Infinite, Squad Battle quickly became a beloved staple playlist for those who were looking for something between the concentrated action of 4v4 and the larger-scale mayhem of 12v12 Big Team Battle. With the arrival of the March Update, there’s a refresh of the Squad Battle playlist.
