Action Sack

by misplacedyank

No preamble, you’ve waited long enough…Welcome to Action Sack, where weird ‘n’ wild warfare brings mayhem and madness in a myriad of modes! Rules of Engagement Action Sack is the playlist where the rules are a little less clear per mode because it’s not as straightforward as “First to 50 wins.” This playlist is made up of several different Free-For-All minigames that will leave you laughing. Baptism by fire is the best way to learn! Maps & Modes Without any further ado, let’s check out what fun we’ll be having!

Ex-Halo and Destiny veteran's new studio "halting work" on debut game

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Even if you've got some early financial backing, decades of industry experience at the top, and some super talented devs creating your new game, there's no guarantee in the current climate that you're going to succeed. It's tough right now. We've already seen plenty of studios that were spun up over the last four or five years close their doors or downsize after getting just a single game out the door - some aren't even able to achieve that before running out of cash. The latest studio to be impacted is Jar of Sparks, the studio formed in 2022 by former Microsoft veteran and Halo Infinite lead designer Jerry Hook, which is now "halting work" on its debut game and letting staff explore other opportunities.

Castle Wars

by misplacedyank

When it was introduced to matchmaking in Halo 5, Castle Wars quickly became a fan favorite. The large-scale assault on the enemy’s base to grab the flag led to high-risk, high reward plays that kept us all coming back for more. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38365036/d338591d7ad84afa501ce77c956b262aaef47436.jpg And that’s why we’re excited to see Castle Wars added to Halo Infinite! The Base-ics It’s an amped up version of 8v8 Capture the Flag that necessitates your team breaking through the defenses of the opponent’s heavily fortified castles. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38365036/5cdb81c541b9b661870ca5de6f6b9d5e18b0de71.jpg Grab their flag and make your way back to your base to score while dodging the oncoming horde of enemy Spartans. Everyone is equipped with an Energy Sword and a Grappleshot. As a bonus, you can use your Grapple while holding the Flag, so beware the sneaky fly-bys. My Kingdom for a Castle You can’t have Castle Wars without the castles, so let’s check out the fortresses you’ll be assaulti...

Operation: Brute Force

by misplacedyank

Welcome back, Spartans! Kicking off 2025 is Operation: Brute Force, which spans January 7 through February 4 (and serves as the last Operation of Halo Infinite’s 2024 Winter Update). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38365036/6422d707f153811a6666d82cd767f007b4481c71.jpg New playlists and modes bring some fresh chaos with Castle Wars and Action Sack (soon), along with a free 20-tier Operation Pass, and more to help beat back those January blues. Castle Wars Capture the Flag has evolved! Masterful melee moves and grand Grappleshot gambits will win the day in this epic 8v8 CTF mode. Take arms, throw hands, and raid the enemy castle, break through their defenses and soar through the air with the flag in hit-and-run strikes. Here’s a look at the maps that you’ll be playing this mode on. Gothic Credits: erickyboo {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38365036/6fc5a05ae3387890fe4b03ad130ac78ff3516e83.jpg I wonder if Count Orlok is in?

Halo: Whispers from the Pyre

by misplacedyank

May 2560. As the Master Chief cuts a brutal swath through the ranks of the Banished, a Sangheili studymaster and his Kig-Yar companion seek to uncover the secrets of Zeta Halo’s mysterious ring totems. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38365036/511d15ee3c6acd035678378dc7c6b98325bd93dd.png Halo: Whispers From the Pyre is available here, on Halo Waypoint, as a free PDF, and in audiobook format on YouTube. Historian's Note Halo: Whispers from the Pyre takes place at the end of May 2560—immediately following the death of War Chief Escharum at the hands of the Master Chief on Zeta Halo. “It is our great burden, is it not? To guide the preservation of the galaxy—even to the ends of erasing it. Weapons of last resort, built by my makers many millennia ago to starve out the great parasite. This ring is but one of seven. Designed to preserve life, designed to destroy it. One of seven. But, this ring is… different. Reforged from the remains of an earlier effort, it possesses abilities not shared by its sibling...

Snowball Fight

by misplacedyank

Winter has come to Halo Infinite, and with it, a flurry of excitement with the introduction of a veritable Snowball Fight. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38365036/23f4e763fcce45b89659243348fd9d63c7d5065b.jpg That’s right. It’s time to be merry! ❄️ Unleashing the Snowballs Forget about the conventional arsenal of weapons; in Snowball Fight, the battlefield is ruled by the infinite supply of plasma grenades. Dip, dodge, and duck other team’s plasmas while launching your own. This is a team-based race to 50 so be sure to watch your teammate’s back too! As a bonus, you’ll be doing all this in Third-Person so you get the additional thrill of watching “snowballs” whiz by you as you enter the fray. A Winter Wonderland It wouldn’t be a snowball fight without snow and we’ve got three winter wonderlands for you to romp around on.

Previously seen at HCS Salt Lake City and the 2024 Halo World Championship, the 1v1 Showdown experience is making its way to Combat Workshop for everyone to enjoy! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38365036/411ed01ba0de1804e6de4dccabd2a19692072fe5.jpg 1v1 Me, Bro If you pride yourself on your ability to take on other Spartans head-to-head, then you’ll love the 1v1 Showdown. If the first round didn’t go your way, just take a deep breath and try again. The best of 5 wins and each round can be won in one of two ways: Getting 5 kills Capturing the zone Remember to keep a sharp eye on the capture timer because a smart opponent will take advantage of that and will sneak a capture right under your nose for the point. Both players will be equipped with identical loadouts that are randomized. Primaries, secondaries, grenades, and equipment will change from round to round. Additionally, you may occasionally receive a round modifier that will be denoted via UI banner. This could be anything from a Damage Boost,...
