Halo Studios revealed some new details about the next Operation for Halo Infinite ahead of its official reveal on May 2, including new Firefight content. The new Operation is expected to bring new unlockable gear and rewards in Halo Infinite, along with updated modes and playlists.
The latest operation for Halo Infinite, Operation: Forerunner, calls back to Halo 4 and other past entries in the Halo series. Until the first week of May, players have the opportunity to enjoy various long-awaited multiplayer modes in Halo Infinite, including Extraction and Assault modes in Big Team Battle. Big Team Battle offers objective-based game modes with up to 24 players, so online matches can become very chaotic and fun. Moreover, the Operation introduced Husky Assault, a tactical mode that combines the objectives of Assault with the randomized weaponry of Husky Raid. Players also have the opportunity to earn Halo 4's Prefect armor from the free 20-tier Operation Pass, and another Operation Pass and new modes will arrive soon this May.

The official Halo series Twitter account confirmed that the next Operation for Halo Infinite, titled "Operation: Last Stand," will be revealed during the game's latest community livestream on May 2. During the livestream, the Halo Infinite developers will reveal new information about the upcoming linear Firefight playlist called "Battle of the Academy." According to the brief trailer on Twitter, the playlist will be made available on May 6, so it's highly likely that this date will mark the beginning of Operation: Last Stand in Halo Infinite as well. What's more, new Orion armor was spotted in the trailer, which could be one of the rewards from the Last Stand Operation Pass.

Thus far, Halo Infinite fans are excited about the upcoming reveal, including veterans who saw glimpses of the Orion armor in the teaser trailer. The Halo Infinite community is also excited about the new linear Firefight playlist, since the game mode offers a campaign-like experience where players advance through zones in a specific sequence with increasing difficulty.
When Operation: Last Stand launches, Halo Infinite players will have the opportunity to progress a Operation Pass or purchase the Premium Operation Pass, which never expires once purchased. For example, players who purchased the Forerunner Premium Pass may continue to progress and earn any remaining rewards when Last Stand begins this May. The May 2 community livestream is expected to reveal the rewards that players can expect from the Last Stand Operation Pass.
