Halo Infinite Getting Helldivers 2-Like Experience Thanks to Forge
AHalo Infinite Forge group, known as the Forge Falcons, is working on a Helldivers 2-like game mode for Xbox's flagship franchise. Halo Infinite fans might recognize the group's name, which previously released the popular Inheritor Battle Royale mode.
