HalomeetsJoJo’sand it’s honestly incredible
Technical previews are really great for ironing out any wrinkles a team might have missed. Nothing can really compare to data you get from letting the public in, and sometimes it results in truly fantastic discoveries, like the melee exploit that’s been making the rounds from the currentHalo Infiniteflight.
As shown in a video on ther/Halo subreddit, the current flight test build has a particularly interesting trick. If you swap weapons while doing a melee attack, it cancels the animation, letting you let loose a flurry of fisticuffs. Here’s the video, with explanation from Twitter userSprucelass:

It’s already drawing comparisons toHalo 2‘s BXR, or a move that let you melee and fire your weapon simultaneously, named for the combination of buttons you’d hit. And honestly, I love it.
Now, will this melee exploit get patched out ofHalo Infinite? Most likely. But can we cherish this moment while we have it? Of course. Honestly, I hope this remains a toggle of some kind inHalo Infinite,so players can have their own littleJoJo’s Bizarre Adventure-style battles in the world ofHalo.
343 Industries confirmed thatHalo Infiniteishaving several test weekends, starting off with Arena this weekend and future ones including modes like Big Team Battle. This is ahead ofHalo Infinite‘slaunch on Dec. 8. Sadly, that launchwon’t include campaign co-opor theHaloForge right away, as both features are being pushed into post-launch updates.
