Halo Infinite

Play it on: Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Windows (Steam Deck YMMV)
Current goal: Be 17 again

Modern Warfare III may have brought back all of the maps from 2009’s Modern Warfare 2, but Halo Infinite wasn’t going to let Activision have all the late-aughts fun. Thanks to a collaboration with Mountain Dew, a special Halo 3 playlist is available in Infinite, and it’s a blast. The maps have gotten a facelift, but they’re otherwise exactly how you remember them—just with all the fun toys offered in Infinite’s weapon sandbox. I played a few hours of it last night and immediately realized this is going to be my entire weekend. Though I will say, it’s a bummer when you get an objective-based mode, as most teammates seem to be distracted by the return of the old maps and continuously forget to pick up the damn Oddball.

If you’re looking for another sweet, sweet hit of nostalgia, I’d drop into 343 Industries’ game this weekend and pretend you’re in college again. Here’s a playlist for you, too. — Alyssa Mercante
