Big Team Battle - or the original incarnation of Big Team Battle back in Halo: Combat Evolved’s custom games on Blood Gulch - added powerful weapons and vehicles into the formula. And every map offered a new opportunity to learn your favorite weapons and vehicle spawns, forcing you to outmaneuver your opponents. Kills were either instant or laborious, varying wildly if you were armed with a grenade or a rifle. Yes, many fights in Halo are decided by who is quicker with their melee button, but the series threw so many variables into the fray that it was thrilling in its unpredictability.

And it’s the first time that 343 Industries has successfully straddled that line between a modernized and classic feel. While it’s still not finished, Halo Infinite’s Big Team Battle reminds me why I fell in love with Halo multiplayer as a kid.
