The Halo Infinite team "talked about" delaying the game again instead of shipping the game without those two popular features, but decided against it and are pushing forward with the December 8 release.

Halo Infinite Forge and split screen co-op The Holiday 2021 Halo Infinite release window was set during a past E3 conference and has finally been updated.
