So Season 5 of Halo Infinite dropped today... · 3:19am Oct 18th, 2023

...and I'd just like to clarify a couple things.

One, your Spartan being front and center on the main screen is a phenomenal touch... And two...

Halo Infinite Update: Week 2.5 · 3:34am Dec 5th, 2021

"As for Slayer itself, we're still having discussions around feasibility."

"Historically, a Slayer only playlist and an Objective only playlist always resulted in the Obj playlist quickly becoming unhealthy."

343 Industries' Community Manager, ladies and gents.

They are apparently discussing the feasibility of including the most popular playlist in franchise history. The feasibility.

Just beat Halo Infinite Legendary in Under Five Hours. · 9:18am Dec 10th, 2021

And this was, quite literally, my secret weapon.

Just a few tidbits:

-You have to pull it BEFORE you either activate the first FOB or board the Pelican for the first time, not sure which. I grabbed it before taking over the FOB.
-Once you have it, do not drop it.
-Don't worry about close range kills, splash damage to yourself is disabled with it.

Aaand that just happened. · 2:33am Aug 31st, 2023

Husky Raid is a very fast-paced variant of Capture the Flag that was introduced in Halo 5. Everyone spawns with random weapons and equipment, and the maps are single corridors with a couple side halls for flanking. It came back this week in Infinite.

The last time I got an Extermination was all the way back in Halo 3 during a match of Grifball when 3 out of 4 members of the enemy team were AFK.

This time, it was for real.

Halo Infinite: Initial Impressions · 6:05am Nov 16th, 2021

Pros

  • Gunplay is very solid. Once the controller issues were sorted out (set Axial Deadzone to 0 and Look Acceleration to 5), it felt exactly like MCC.
  • The game is gorgeous. I cannot wait to see the campaign.
  • The AI's are all very quirky and unique. My chosen one is damned hilarious.

Cons

  • The UI isn't the greatest. It's been done cleaner and better in Halo titles of the past.

Halo Infinite Multiplayer Launches TODAY · 9:46pm Nov 15th, 2021

If you've managed to stay off the internet the last few days, then you may have missed this.

As of right now, Halo Infinite's multiplayer is live. They've calling it a "beta" but the battle pass is also live, and everything carries over to the launch in December.

I'm thinking about streaming some, but I'm, uh, I'm sucking right now, and I'll get back to you on that.

The top post on r/Halo this morning is evidence of all the store bundles leaked, revealing that you would have to spend a total of $1,035 to unlock everything that is not obtainable by playing.

So, crazy rumor going around... · 6:04am Nov 13th, 2021

For the past couple days, there's been a rumor swirling in the Halo community that the multiplayer component of Halo Infinite is going to be surprise-launched on Monday, which is Halo's, and Xbox's, 20th birthday. Multiple sources have chimed in, and 343, normally extremely quick on the draw to squash rumors that are not true, have been completely silent on this matter so far.

Halo Infinite Campaign Stream Tomorrow · 5:23pm Dec 7th, 2021

Hey all.

Just a heads up that I am planning on streaming Halo Infinite's campaign as I go in blind tomorrow.

No, I do not have a specific time for you, because the 1PM EST time is apparently when you can begin downloading it.

So likely late afternoon to evening.

Anyone else remember midnight releases?

Welcome to Modern GamingTM.

No, I Don't Have A Problem · 10:29am Dec 13th, 2021

Part of me wants to be enraged that there isn't an achievement for that, but to be fair, there are individual achievements for collecting all the separate pieces of content; audio logs, cores, lockers, etc.

So now, there's only one thing left to do, and hopefully I'll make a dent in it before returning to work on Tuesday.

Halo Infinite Update: Week 2 · 4:02pm Nov 30th, 2021

Yeah, so I haven't touched Infinite in two days.

After the weekly ultimate challenge was "get five killing sprees in Fiesta" (but Frenzies and Riots don't count) and their absolutely pathetic response to the cheating and hacking (see above), I'm going to try and finish RDR2 PC before the campaign hits.

Halo Infinite: A Poem · 8:16pm Nov 16th, 2021

The gunplay is always nice and tight

The maps are such a lovely sight

But the progression system is purely ass

Do not buy the Battle Pass

Okay, back to writing now. · 2:56am Oct 24th, 2022

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).

Halo Infinite Review: Week 1 · 1:44am Nov 24th, 2021

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

It sucks, but I am not surprised in the slightest. · 4:27am Jan 21st, 2023

So there are unconfirmed reports this week that among Microsoft's company-wide layoffs, around half of the staff of 343 Industries is included in the fallout.

THERE'S the 343 Industries we know and hate. · 2:12am Aug 21st, 2021

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.

Tomorrow is going to suck. · 9:01am Dec 14th, 2021

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.

Is it magic?

No, can't be. The only magic is friendship.

Nope, it was me finally getting fed the fuck up with the mind-blowing incompetence of 343 Industries.

More time for writing ponies, I guess.

Audiophile Problems · 9:23pm Dec 14th, 2021

Currently tearing my hair out trying to find a piece of music that is not on Halo Infinite's official soundtrack.

I don't think anyone has ripped the music right out of the game yet.
