Like a great many Halo Insiders, I played the Halo: Infinite public test this weekend, and it brought back some good memories. I’m looking forward to playing a lot more of this game when it debuts in 74 days.

The public test of the multiplayer tech is running this weekend and next weekend as Microsoft’s 343 Industries collects data and feedback from the community as the developers move into the home stretch. I enjoyed playing the Halo: Infinite Arena multiplayer maps, where four players squared off against four enemies. You can see one of my matches in the embedded video. The game debuts on December 8.
