I'd like to say this ended well, but my teammate whipped out his Fuel Rod and accidentally shot me point blank in the back.

So for the past seven months, one of my favorite past times has been watching tournaments in the Halo Championship Series, one of the very, very few things about Halo Infinite that hasn't sucked since November of last year.
One of my favorite underdog organizations is the Kansas City Pioneers. Their hometown crowd at HCS Kansas City in May was one of the loudest HCS crowds in history.
The Halo World Championships were absolutely amazing.
Saturday was crammed with upset after upset after upset, as many high-tier teams were knocked down to the Elimination Bracket early.
At the end of the broadcast, they announced a surprise armor coating available in the HCS Store.
Not bad. In fact, one of the best looking ones yet. Yes, I bought it (I have credits left over from months ago).
BLUF: Aiming for an end of February release. Officially back in college.
Alright, so last Monday, 343 Industries released Halo Infinite's multiplayer a week early before the official launch date of December 8th. Let's take a look at the various areas of the game, and compare them to previous titles.
Campaign: N/A / 10
Obviously, campaign is unable to be reviewed right now, but I've heard almost nothing but good things. By far, this is the portion of the game I am looking forward to the most.
Core Gameplay: 9/10
Yep, it’s a gaming piece.
I don’t feel too bad about this because I don’t often talk about my other hobbies on this site, so I figure breaking the mold every once in a while is fine. Maybe some of you aren’t interested, but that’s fine.
Modder InfernoPlus put out Cursed Halo 2.0 after a charity stream last week, with some changes, and the mod works with Master Chief Collection.
Would anyone be up for watching a stream of that later in the week?
Let me know, and I'll clear one of my upcoming evenings.
Pfft, like any of my evenings need clearing...
Watched it so you don’t have to:
Halo LegendsI appreciate that I’m very late to this party, but it recently came out on Netflix. Frankly I’m glad I didn’t spend money on it.
Some minor spoilers may follow, I don’t recommend that you care enough about this piece of media to worry about that though, because I don’t recommend actually watching it.
The DMR takes me back to my Halo Reach days.
And if the Season 6 premiere synopses are anything to go on, these two episodes might make me melt.
I'm not one for the railgun, but I managed to pull off a 7-count killing spree with it, ending in a double kill to win the match.
Congratulations, 343 Industries, you successfully killed my favorite video game series of all time. Halo is dead to me.
I will be officially removing my pre-order for Halo 5: Guardians, and placing it on the Fallout 4 Pipboy Edition.
After that, I will go home, curl in a ball, and rock back and forth while playing Fallout 3, muttering "There's no place like the Ark."
In short:
You fucked up.
While Brady continues getting acquainted with Tom Clancy's Destiny, I'm returning to the second half of Shadow of Mordor.
Plus more Halo 5.
Well, here it is. After some deliberation, I thought to myself.
You can keep staring at this prologue to see if you can make it better but that would only delay the launch of this for another week.
So I just clicked submit.
The next chapter is going to have to wait for a bit because of some lore things I want to figure out first, anyway I hope you guys will enjoy!
Live with Cursed Halo, playing it for the first time.
Welp, after all the heaps of praise that the Halo Infinite tech test got a few weeks ago, 343 has come forward and announced that Halo Infinite will not launch with co-op or Forge.
So after a delay of an entire year, Halo Infinite will launch without a feature that has been in the franchise, at launch, for 20 years.
But it's worth it to end my staycation in this way.
The final phase of the final boss took me NINETY MINUTES, but that's what it takes to be part of the 0.01% currently.
Halo's glory days are long gone.
Four Warzone Firefight matches so far. Two won.
I'm sorry, I'm just not having any fun. After two months away from Halo 5 to come back to this, I honestly think I'm done with it. I've got a brand new camera and three amazing-looking games coming in August and October.
Thanks for joining up, bronies. We are now an Active company at 6 members strong.
I'll probably post another blog closer to launch or after launch.
And 343 just put the entire soundtrack on Soundcloud. I believe I'm a little moist.
