Nevertheless, players are still anticipating other game modes teased by the developers. One of which is the campaign co-op scheduled to go live in Season 2. Another missing feature is the Forge Mode which, as per Joseph Staten, Head of Creative at 343 Industries will be making its way to the game in Season 3 in an interview with Eurogamer.
