With the massive success ofHalo Infinite’s multiplayer beta, this has very much been amonumental year for Xbox. Much like some of the memorable years of LAN parties and Xbox Live fun,Haloseems to be back to its glory days.Halo Infinitemanages to bring the franchise into the modern-day while still maintaining the magic of the series. One gamer managed to capture that idea by gettingHalo Infiniteto run on a CRT TV, and this has captured the imagination of plenty of fans.
Halo Infiniteis in the middle of the multiplayer world with the release of the beta available now on Xbox and PC. AlthoughBattlefield 2042andCall of Duty: Vanguardhave recently been released,Halo Infiniteis receiving the majority of the goodwill and praise, even with smallissues with the battle pass inHalo Infiniteand other problems that 343 Industries will look to address. Much of the love has to do withInfinite’s balance between nostalgia and revolutionary new gameplay, and a recent upload on Reddit captures this wonderfully.

Reddit user I_Dont_Have_Corona recently uploaded an image to showingHalo Infiniterunning on a CRT television. The original Xbox console was not capable of outputting HD, as the Xbox 360 was the first to output 720p. And even with HDTVs becoming popular and common in the late 2000s, many players enjoyedHalo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2,andHalo 3on older CRT TVs before they upgraded.
When thinking of local co-op fun, theHalofranchise is perhaps the number one series for LAN party fun. And when thinking of that style of play, the idea of playing split-screen or online matches on a CRT screen is what countless gamers think of. So it makes sense that I_Dont_Have_Corona would getHalo Infiniteto run on a small CRT TV for nostaliga if nothing else.
Beyond the crisp multiplayer enjoyment, countless players are enjoyingHalo Infinitebecause it brings them back to the roots of simplistic and classic online gaming. Perhaps one of the questions is ifHalo Infinitecan be sustainable, if the game has the legs and substance to keep players coming back. The hope is thathackers stay away fromHalo Infinite, 343 Industries continues to support the game, the game remains fresh and exciting, and that the community can enjoy it for years to come.
Halo Infinitewill release for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on December 8. The multiplayer beta is available now.
