Halo: Infinite's Campaign returns to the original protagonist of the series, John-117, as he takes the fight to the Banished on the Zeta Halo. In the multiplayer story, players take control of a customizable Spartan-IV, similar to Halo 4 & 5. Unlike the previous 343 games, your Spartan-IV is now considered to be in active duty rather than in-training, defending the Avery J.
