Referred as ''Infinity'', the multiplayer component of ''[[Halo 4]]'' consists of ''[[War Games]]'', the competitive multiplayer mode, and ''[[Spartan Ops]]'', the episodic cooperative campaign. The multiplayer features a canon explanation why the red and blue teams compete with one another: the Spartans are actually training against each other in simulations aboard the {{UNSCship|Infinity}}. The player models are [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IV]] soldiers with customizable armor.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6UL63Zo-uo&feature=player_embedded '''YouTube''': ''Making Halo 4: First Look'']</ref> | Referred as ''Infinity'', the multiplayer component of ''[[Halo 4]]'' consists of ''[[War Games]]'', the competitive multiplayer mode, and ''[[Spartan Ops]]'', the episodic cooperative campaign.

Of the gametypes featured in ''Reach'', only Slayer, Oddball, Capture the Flag, and King of the Hill return. Infection has been replaced by a successor, [[Flood (gametype)|Flood]]. Four new gametypes make their debut: [[Dominion]], [[Regicide]], [[Extraction]], and [[Ricochet]]. Although Assault is discontinued its progeny, [[Grifball]], returns as its own unique gametype, now with elements of Oddball incorporated in its mechanics. Ricochet in turn is also very similar to assault. | Of the gametypes featured in ''Reach'', only Slayer, Oddball, Capture the Flag, and King of the Hill return.

Matchmaking features a voting system similar to ''Reach''<nowiki />'s, however it no longer includes the "none of the above" option, and players cannot change their vote once they have placed it. The most significant change to matchmaking is that players can now join matches in progress. Players joining matchmaking may find themselves entering games already in progress; matches which have players leave or disconnect will have their numbers supplemented by new players. | Matchmaking features a voting system similar to ''Reach''<nowiki />'s, however it no longer includes the "none of the above" option, and players cannot change their vote once they have placed it.
