A clip capturing what players are taking issue with recently went viral in Reddit’s Halo community, garnering over 20 thousand upvotes. The clip shows a player using camouflage to sneak up on an opponent, only for the opponent to back up through the player as an assassination is attempted. The opponent slides through the player and then guns them down. With full player collision, the opponent would have bumped into the player and the melee assassination would have gone through as expected.

The comments on the Reddit thread include examples of how silly this Halo Infinite issue can be. Players are talking about being able to perform consequent assassinations, a move requiring a player to melee their opponent’s back, because both players clip far enough through each other to target each other’s back. Similarly, some players mention meleeing an opponent from the front and getting an assassination due to slight clipping.

What’s especially odd about the situation is that Halo Infinite does feature player collision with opponents. It’s only turned off for allies. However, player collision still feels like it isn’t working as intended, as the clip presents. Players still seemingly glide through their opponents as if they weren’t there. Either player models don’t have full collision or there’s a latency-related problem tied to player collision, with the confusion around the issue only exacerbating it.

It remains entirely unclear why 343 decided not to include full player collision for both allies and opponents in Halo Infinite. It’s a popular feature with a long history in Halo, and players have vocally supported its inclusion going back into Halo Infinite’s betas. At this time, however, there are no confirmed plans to bring it back.

While 343 has yet to acknowledge the conversation surrounding Halo Infinite’s player collision, it’s important to keep in mind that multiplayer only launched this past week. 343 still has plenty of time to evaluate and reconsider its decision, something it’s already done with Halo Infinite’s battle passes. If players are insistent that collision return, then 343 will undoubtedly have no choice but to deliver.

Halo Infinite multiplayer is available now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
