Halo Infinite lets you equip a Personal AI during multiplayer matches

343 has revealed more information about Halo Infinite’s multiplayer in a new video.

The video, below, includes new Halo Infinite multiplayer gameplay as well as a raft of talking heads from 343.

There’s a lot to run through, but the highlight for me was the news that Halo Infinite multiplayer lets you bring your own Personal AI onto the battlefield.

This AI will help you out – the example given was if a teammate picks up the flag, your Personal AI will suggest you help get it back to base. It also gives you “moment to moment updates”.

You can choose your own AI and each comes with a different voice, 343 said. You can customise your Personal AI’s appearance and personality in the Armor Hall once you complete the tutorial. The image below shows a Personal AI helping a Spartan capture an objective.

Other cool things I noticed in the video include the ability to pull weapons and other pickups towards you with the new grapple hook. You can use the grapple to pull yourself towards an enemy, which is a good time for a gravity hammer slam, it seems.

Equipment is back, but has a “bigger voice than ever before”, 343 said. The developer suggests there will be tactics involved in choosing whether to go after a power weapon, or pick up the grapple for extra mobility.

You can pick up classic powerups such as the Overshield and Active Camo as before, but now you can choose when to activate them. A powerup goes in your inventory, but if you haven’t used it and you die, you drop that powerup and someone else can pick it up.
