Halo Infinite update rewinds time for Halo 2’s birthday, throwing the FPS back 20 years with a nostalgic mode that deletes sprint and adds classic maps

Halo 2 stomped onto the scene two whole decades ago with all the heft of a 1,000 pound supersoldier, but it’s already been remade in fancy fashion once via The Master Chief Collection, so its milestone birthday is instead being celebrated within a Halo Infinite update that’s throwing away it back to 2004 (just without all the MySpace hype).

The newly-rebranded Halo Studios today announced that Halo Infinite would be getting a surprisingly meaty update called Operation: The Great Journey on the classic shooter’s anniversary, November 5. That surreal third-person mode is part of the package, but what’s even more exciting is a playlist that’s basically rewinding time.
