In the short amount of time the Halo Infinite Multiplayer Beta has been available, fans around the world have voiced their feedback, a lot of it praising the gameplay and art direction, while also criticising the battle pass and progression systems for being quite frustrating. Prior to updates from 343 Indsutries, players were only earning XP towards their battle pass progression by completing challenges, and not their performance in game, resulting in an unsatisfying leveling system for many. Beyond these problems, it also seems likely that features like Forge and Campaign Co-Op have been delayed further due to the changes happening in multiplayer.

An update from the official Halo Support account indicates that current Halo Infinite Theatre clips will not be around for much longer. 343 Industries states, “Saved films for Halo Infinite created between 11/15 and 12/7 will no longer be visible in Theatre on 12/8,” with December 8 being Halo Infinite’s full launch. Currently in Theatre mode, players can watch recordings of their recent match history, as well as specific game files they have bookmarked for longer preservation. To ensure that players can save the films they want, 343 Industries writes that players “may wish to use a digital video recording tool.”
Following the link directs users to Halo’s official support page, to an article explaining how to create and share media in Halo Infinite. The wording on this page implies that future Halo Infinite updates—besides the upcoming transfer of Beta to launch— have the capacity of destroying players’ film libraries. “Substantial updates, such as moving from Beta to full release, can reset your history and bookmarks or result in some films becoming deprecated due to changes in game content,” 343 Industries states. Players should probably get into a habit of either using their Xbox’s built-in screen recording software or the Xbox Game Bar service on PC to preserve their films.
Halo Infinite’s share of praise and criticism has been directed at nearly every aspect, but one that seems to be getting more love than hate is the cinematic nature of the sandbox. From players saving their teammates with the Wasp, to other players using perfectly thrown power cells to rip them apart, the action of Halo Infinite is exciting in ways not possible in previous entries. While many players may be quick to just capture these moments themselves, others may just rest assured that it is saved in their Theatre library, but that apparently will become a dangerous game to play if they could erased with any big update.
Halo Infinite’s Multiplayer Beta is available now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, with the full game launching on December 8.
